I watched the Ufotable reel before my morning coffee, and for a few seconds every frame felt like a promise. The room tightened: fans online were already parsing shots and timestamps. If you follow anime closely, missing these cues feels like losing the last train.

I’ll walk you through what matters, what’s coming in 2026, and which projects are quietly staking claims on the few big release windows left. The reel landed as a thunderclap; the rebroadcast schedule is a tightrope. You’ll find names you know (Demon Slayer), near-legendary IP (Type-Moon), and collabs that could shape the next anime cycle (Hoyoverse/MiHoYo).
Ufotable released a short promotional reel on YouTube that bundles the studio’s immediate plans and teases projects stretching into 2027 and beyond. Below I break that reel down, clip by clip, and note the dates you need to mark now.
When will Witch on the Holy Night release?
Ufotable confirmed the film adaptation of Type-Moon’s Witch on the Holy Night for a 2026 release in Japan, though a precise day is still pending. I’ve watched the teaser and the tone feels faithful to the source: cinematic, careful, and quietly intense. The official teaser sits on YouTube, and it’s the clearest sign that production is well past concept stage.
Witch on the Holy Night
Type-Moon’s visual novel carries a built-in audience and high expectations. Ufotable is a natural fit for its cinematic scenes and heavy-stakes magic. Expect the studio to announce a concrete Japanese release date soon; until then, follow the official channels and the Type-Moon community on X for the first regional windows.
Demon Slayer Anime Rebroadcast
Fuji TV will rebroadcast the entire Demon Slayer anime from April 5, with new episodes airing Sundays at 9:00 AM JST. That schedule isn’t just filler; it’s a cadence built to keep the franchise front-of-mind ahead of the next Infinity Castle entry.
Tales of Franchise 30th anniversary
On a desk piled with anniversary press kits, someone had circled April 3 — that’s the day Ufotable will share more about how Tales of celebrates 30 years. Ufotable has done striking cutscenes for Bandai Namco’s JRPGs before; expect event news, special visuals, and maybe collaborative merchandise announcements.
Ufotable Cafe TO GO
Ufotable plans to take its Demon Slayer café to all 47 prefectures in Japan during 2026. This is the studio turning a pop-up experience into a national tour — expect regional menus, limited goods, and long lines for fans who want collectible items tied to theatrical windows.
Machi Asobi Event
Machi Asobi returns to Tokushima City with Ufotable-led stage shows, cosplay gatherings, and merchandise drops. The studio said more details will arrive on March 9; if you follow event calendars and anime convention trackers, reserve time that weekend.

I went line-by-line through the reel and the studio notes. Beyond 2026, Ufotable reconfirmed multiple productions that will stretch into 2027 and later: a Genshin Impact anime, the next Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie, and more theatrical work. Below I map each announcement to what it means for release windows and fan expectations.
Is Ufotable making a Genshin Impact anime?
Yes — Ufotable has confirmed work on a Genshin Impact adaptation originally announced in 2022. Hoyoverse (MiHoYo) remains attached, and the studio reiterated that the anime will not drop in 2026. My read: 2027 was suggested as hopeful, but a realistic target is 2028 given scope and the multimedia tie-ins Genshin demands.
When will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 arrive?
Ufotable teased the second Infinity Castle film and set 2027 as the scheduled release year. No day or month has been posted yet. Given the franchise’s theatrical cadence and the rebroadcast that starts in April 2026, I’d watch for announcements tied to seasonal film slots (spring or fall) and official theatre chains on X for regional windows.
Katsugeki: Touken Ranbu
The theatrical Katsugeki: Touken Ranbu film is in production with no date yet. Ufotable’s track record with cinematic adaptations suggests they’ll reserve this for a polished release window rather than rush it into an already crowded year.
Here’s what I’d watch next: official announcements from Ufotable’s website and YouTube channel, release posts on Fuji TV for broadcast plans, and Hoyoverse channels for Genshin scheduling. Follow Bandai Namco for Tales of anniversary details around April 3 and mark Machi Asobi updates around March 9.
Which of these titles will change how you measure Ufotable’s next five years — are you betting on the Genshin adaptation, another Demon Slayer blowout, or an unexpected hit?
