Spending everything on the gacha and suddenly
having those units be real in another world is the fantasy that no player
admits out loud but everyone has had. Gacha Girls Corps confirmed
its anime with a premiere scheduled for January 2027, opening its
official website on June 25 with a teaser, promotional image, cast, and
production team. The announcement of the project has been underway since May
2025, but it is only now that the specific names behind the adaptation are
revealed.
The teaser and promo image offer the first look
at the world and characters in the story, which follows Heihachi Okura,
an average mobile gaming addict with his wallet smashed by gacha pulls. One
day, one of those pulls teleports him to another world. Attacked by monsters
with no other options, he does the only thing he knows how: throw the gacha
again. To his surprise, his units materialize in front of him in real life.
You're used to seeing cute girls pop up on your phone screen, but you never
expected to see them pop out of it.

Takada, with Takashi Asami as director of the
series. Deko Akao oversees the composition of the series. The
character design is by Miori Suzuki, who also acts as the chief
animation director. The animation production is in charge of Zero-G in
