ATASHIn'CHI Next Net Anime Gets New Episodes
Shinei Animation announced at the ABEMA Anime Matsuri 2026 event on Saturday that ATASHIn'CHI Next, the latest net anime for the ATASHIn'CHI franchise, will get a new batch of episodes. Taku Kimura (Chainsmoker Cat) will direct the anime. Shinei Animation revealed a teaser video for the anime here (the video is not embeddable).
The first batch of five episodes of the anime debuted with a monthly schedule per episode from June to October 2024.
The next batch of five new episodes debuted on November 20, December 20, January 20, February 20, and March 20.
The anime commemorates the 30th anniversary of Eiko Kera's original manga. The series animates stories in the original manga that were not adapted in the previous anime.
The manga inspired a television anime series that aired from 2002 to 2009. The ATASHIn'CHI film premiered in 2003, followed by the 40-minute 3D ATASHIn'CHI film in 2010. A new television anime series titled Shin ATASHIn'CHI premiered in October 2015, and ended in April 2016. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
The official YouTube channel for the anime has been streaming the series and Shin ATASHIn'CHI with English subtitles since May 2020.
Shinei Animation and AlphaBoat describe the anime's story:
ATASHIn'CHI ... describes the everyday life of the Tachibana family: Mother, who tries her best in everything she does despite her clumsiness; Father, who says little and insists on doing everything his way; Mikan, a high school romantic; and Yuzuhiko, who might appear to be emotionless at first glance but is quite naïve.
Kera launched a new serialization for the manga titled ATASHIn'CHI SUPER in December 2019, seven years after she originally ended the series. When Kera ended the manga in March 2012, she had been drawing it in the Sunday edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper since 1994, for 17 years and 10 months.
