Aniplex One Focus Showcase Sets September 12 Stream With Nearly 20 Titles

Aniplex will stream Aniplex One Focus worldwide on September 12 at 6:00 p.m. JST, presenting new information on nearly 20 anime, film, and game projects. The renamed annual showcase will be available free through the company’s official YouTube channel, with a broad slate ranging from October premieres to works planned for 2027 and beyond.

When and how to watch

The broadcast begins at 6:00 p.m. in Japan on Saturday, September 12, which is 9:00 a.m. UTC. Aniplex is promoting the program as a worldwide stream, although access may vary in some countries and regions. The company’s event site provides event information, while its official YouTube channel is the confirmed destination for the presentation.

Voice actors Nobunaga Shimazaki and Chiwa Saito will serve as the program’s navigators. Aniplex has not revealed the other participating cast members, instead reserving those appearances for the day of the broadcast.

The new One Focus name signals a more concentrated version of the company’s familiar annual presentation. Aniplex says the program will gather first-release information and give attention to individual projects in a condensed format. October television anime form one part of the schedule, while theatrical releases, games, and projects targeted for 2027 or later widen the scope beyond the immediate fall season.

The announced material covers works approaching broadcast, movies still in development, longer-range productions, and an upcoming game. That breadth makes the stream a publisher-wide update rather than a presentation built around one headline franchise. The mix also makes the event a useful single-date checkpoint for Aniplex’s current portfolio.

The announced lineup

The slate mixes new adaptations, continuing franchises, feature films, and games. Aniplex has named the following projects while also indicating that more may appear:

Please Excuse My Younger Brothers

Inherit the Winds

A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special

The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All

GROTESQQQUE

Fall in Love, You False Angels

Jyu-Oh Mujin Dandivine

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend

Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!

Vertex Force

Bless

Magical Explorer

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-

Witch on the Holy Night

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!

MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA

Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart

Rilakkuma

That range makes the showcase relevant to several different audiences. Upcoming TV adaptations such as The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All share the program with established properties including Madoka Magica, the Rascal Does Not Dream series, and Witch on the Holy Night. The presence of MELTY BLOOD also confirms that the event is not restricted to animation announcements.

Aniplex has promised fresh information across the lineup, but it has not specified the type of update attached to each title. A listed project could receive footage, timing, cast, or other production news, yet none of those possibilities should be treated as confirmed before the stream. The official preview therefore sets expectations around breadth rather than assigning a specific reveal to each property.

The next confirmed milestone is the live broadcast on September 12 at 6:00 p.m. JST, when Aniplex will reveal the promised updates and any additional participating titles.
