The Ahare! Meisaku-kun franchise has just delivered great news for anime fans in Brazil and around the world. This week, the official producers announced, through the official X (formerly Twitter) account, that the series will receive a new TV production. Scheduled to premiere in 2026, the announcement has reignited interest in this popular short-episode franchise, which began its journey on Japanese educational TV exactly a decade ago, in 2016.
The new anime comes as a direct result of the success of a crowdfunding campaign. As details, the team behind the series raised nearly 20 million yen (about R$ 700,000 at the current exchange rate) in 2022, ensuring the continuation of the story. Thus, the project secured the necessary budget to return to activity, proving the strength and support of its fan community. Therefore, expectations are high to see what new adventures and conflicts the protagonist Meisaku-kun will experience in this new phase, which promises to win over both old and new viewers.
A Success Story That Goes Back a Long Way
The trajectory of Ahare! Meisaku-kun in audiovisual is long and successful. Since its initial premiere in April 2016, the series has accumulated six seasons, with short five-minute episodes that captivated the audience. Additionally, the franchise expanded its global reach thanks to streaming, with AnimeLog (Anilog) making the episodes available on its YouTube channel and Crunchyroll broadcasting the most recent season simultaneously with Japan. On the other hand, the series also showed its versatility with exclusive productions for events, such as the short “Bolt, Bu Yamerutteyo,” shown at an exhibition in Tokyo in 2022.
Thus, the announcement for 2026 is not a restart, but rather the natural continuation of a project that has always known how to reinvent itself and keep its audience engaged. With a solid foundation built over ten years and the financial backing of its own fans, the new season has everything it takes to be a success. Therefore, keep an eye out for updates, as more details about the exact date, plot, and broadcasting platforms are expected to emerge in the coming months.
