A TV anime adaptation of Gacha Girls Corps — the light novel series published under Micro Magazine's GC Novels label and serialized as a manga in Comic Ride and the manga distribution site Rycomics — has been confirmed. The series has surpassed 1.2 million copies sold, and the anime is set to begin broadcasting in January 2027. A teaser visual has also been released.
Congratulatory comments and illustrations from original author ちんくるり (Chinkururi), character designers イセ川ヤスタカ (Isekawa Yasutaka) and 晴野しゅー (Haruno Shu) have also arrived. A signed shikishi giveaway campaign featuring cast autographs has additionally been launched.
Teaser Visual Unveiled for Gacha Girls Corps
The teaser visual features Heihachi holding his smartphone aloft amid sparkling gems and treasure chests, capturing the sense of excitement the series is known for. Noel and Estel fill the frame in full detail, contrasting with a chibi version of Heihachi dancing comically at the side — an image that conveys the series' bright and fun appeal. The visual leaves fans eager to see what kinds of colorful companions Heihachi will pull as the strongest all-girl squad sets out on their adventure in the TV anime.
Main Cast Revealed with Character Visuals and Official Comments
The main cast has been announced: Daisuke Sakaguchi as Heihachi Okura, Miyu Tomita as Noel Fanya, and Iori Noguchi (=LOVE) as Estel. Character visuals and official comments from each cast member have also been shared.
Heihachi Okura — CV: Daisuke Sakaguchi
Character Profile
A devoted heavy spender who pours nearly his entire paycheck into mobile games. After pulling the UR item "Invitation to Another World" in a gacha, he finds himself suddenly transported to a fantasy realm. Though his own combat ability is low, he relies on the gacha function on his smartphone to survive in this new world.
Comment from Daisuke Sakaguchi
Yes! A rom-com (sort of)! I kept saying I wanted to do a rom-com, and here we are! Well, to be honest, the romance elements are pretty light — it's more of a slapstick comedy (laughs). Heihachi, the character I play, is a high-energy guy who's always going off the rails and has plenty of reactions, so I've been flooring the accelerator. Everyone else's performances are so much fun that my energy naturally goes up too. It's a blast! And the pleasant exhaustion after recording sessions — (laughs). I think this is going to be a series you can just kick back and enjoy without overthinking anything. Looking forward to your support!
Noel Fanya — CV: Miyu Tomita
Character Profile
A UR knight chosen by the sacred sword, wielding exceptional swordsmanship. Cheerful and well-liked by many, she is secretly extremely shy and has quite the appetite. She almost always wears her helmet and rarely shows her face.
Comment from Miyu Tomita
I'm Miyu Tomita, playing Noel Fanya! Gacha as the central theme is such a fresh concept, and I'm having a great time recording every episode. Noel has a cool, knight-like side, but she also carries a lot of the show's comedic moments — so I've been really focused on portraying that contrast. The satisfying feeling of the gacha animations, the charming and cute girls, and Okura-dono's nonstop energy... It's a show that never gets old. Please look forward to the broadcast!
Estel — CV: Iori Noguchi (=LOVE)
Character Profile
A UR mage with overwhelming destructive power. A little-devil type who toys with Heihachi through coy, flirtatious behavior. Despite her cute appearance, she acts in surprisingly bold ways — and in battle, she delivers the highest firepower in the party, making her an indispensable ally.
Comment from Iori Noguchi (=LOVE)
I'm Iori Noguchi, and I'll be playing Estel! It's a rom-com with plenty of comedy, and the pacing feels great — plus there are so many cute girls, so I'm really enjoying the recording sessions. Estel looks adorable, but she's actually a cool, tough girl on the outside. When she finally lets her guard down, though... the cuteness is unreal! I kept alternating between reading the original novel and the script, heart pounding at her little-devil personality — she's had me wrapped around her finger every episode. It's a fun series that gets under your skin! Please look forward to the broadcast!
Moffut — CV: ????
Character Profile
A mascot-like presence who joins the party after being rescued along the way. Known as the "Lucky Rabbit," it is so quick that it's hard to come across, and simply seeing it is said to bring happiness. True to its name, it is adorably fluffy in appearance.
Congratulatory Comments and Illustrations from Author and Character Designers
To celebrate the anime adaptation announcement, congratulatory comments and illustrations have arrived from original author ちんくるり, as well as character designers イセ川ヤスタカ and 晴野しゅー.
Comment from Original Author ちんくるり
I am truly honored that this has become an anime. When I heard the news, I was so surprised that it didn't feel real. This is all thanks to the readers who have supported the series until now. Thank you so much! While gacha is the central theme, I believe the charm of the characters is equally important. I focused on that in the original novels, and in the manga adaptation, the heroines have been drawn even more adorably. I'm confident that animation — with movement and voice — will only make the characters shine even brighter. To all the readers who have supported the series, and to everyone involved in production — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please look forward to the broadcast!
