by The upcoming TV anime adaptation of Charisma has unveiled its first teaser promotional video, confirmed its January 2027 premiere date, and announced two additional cast members. The latest information was revealed during the franchise’s fifth-anniversary event, Charisma Mania, held at Toyosu PIT in Tokyo on November 1, 2026.
Shinnosuke Tachibana will voice Soemon Nakagami, while Tomohiro Ohno has joined the cast as Hiiragi Torahime. The announcement also revealed the anime’s nationwide Japanese broadcast schedule, a new promotional song, a special advance screening, and a short anime series that will begin airing before the main TV production.
The teaser PV offers the first look at footage from the actual anime, showing the seven charismatic residents of Charisma House in a series of lively and chaotic everyday situations. With several new projects planned ahead of the television premiere, fans will have multiple opportunities to enjoy the franchise over the coming months.
Charisma TV Anime Confirms January 7, 2027 Premiere
The biggest announcement from the fifth-anniversary event was the confirmation of the TV anime’s broadcast date.
The Charisma anime will premiere in Japan on January 7, 2027. It will air every Thursday at 11:56 PM on 28 TBS-affiliated stations, with a simultaneous nationwide broadcast across the network.
The newly released teaser PV provides the first proper glimpse of the animated production. It features the seven central characters as they get caught up in their usual lively and unpredictable daily activities. The footage gives viewers an early impression of the series’ comedy-driven atmosphere and the personalities that make the Charisma project distinctive.
Rather than revealing major story developments, the teaser focuses on introducing the characters and their chaotic group dynamic. It is designed to build anticipation for the full series before its January premiere.
The teaser also features the new song “Mite Mite Anime no Charisma,” performed by the seven Charismas. Its playful connection to the anime makes it an important part of the promotional campaign.
What Is Charisma About?
For viewers discovering the franchise for the first time, Charisma is a superhuman share-house story centred on seven unusual individuals who live together at Charisma House.
The characters are each associated with their own distinctive idea of charisma. However, despite their unusual personalities and confidence, they have not yet reached what the story describes as true charisma. They live together while exploring their individual qualities, developing their abilities, and trying to reach a higher level of personal charisma.
The premise combines exaggerated character comedy, unusual situations, music, and interactions between the residents. Its humour often comes from the contrast between the characters’ strong personalities and the unpredictable situations they create when living together.
The project is not simply a conventional school or workplace comedy. Its central concept is deliberately unusual, allowing the characters to explore different forms of charisma through exaggerated behaviour and entertaining group dynamics.
The franchise has developed as a multimedia project, with character-driven content and music playing an important role in its identity. The upcoming TV anime will introduce this unusual world to a wider audience through animated storytelling.
For newcomers, the basic idea is simple: seven distinctive personalities share one house, each trying to develop their own form of charisma. Their interactions are the foundation of the story.
New Song “Mite Mite Anime no Charisma” to Release on November 4
Another major announcement concerns the new song featured in the teaser PV.
Titled “Mite Mite Anime no Charisma,” the track will be performed by the seven Charismas and released digitally on November 4, 2026, at midnight in Japan.
The song is particularly interesting because it is a reworked cover of the familiar music used to lead into commercial breaks on TBS’s popular television programme All-Star Thanksgiving Festival. The new version features altered lyrics and has been adapted for the Charisma anime promotion.
The original composition was written by Hajime Monji, while the new version’s lyrics, composition, and arrangement are credited to Gesshoku Kaigi.
By using a melody associated with a well-known TBS programme, the song gives the anime promotion a playful connection to the broadcaster. Its appearance in the teaser PV also helps establish the lively tone of the upcoming series.

A digital pre-order campaign has also been launched for “Mite Mite Anime no Charisma.”
Fans who pre-order the song through the designated campaign link will receive a digital wallpaper featuring the song’s jacket artwork.

Charisma TV Anime Advance Screening Set for December 6
Before the television broadcast begins, fans in Japan will have an opportunity to watch the first two episodes at a special advance screening.
The event, titled “TV Anime Charisma Advance Screening with Stage Greeting – Why Not Take a Sneak Peek?”, will take place on December 6, 2026, at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas in Tokyo.
Episodes 1 and 2 will be screened ahead of the January television premiere. A stage greeting featuring the seven main voice actors is also scheduled.
Special Admission Gift: “Out-of-Season Fan”
Visitors attending the advance screening will receive a special admission gift called the “Out-of-Season Fan.”
The fan features different designs on its front and back, with one design type available in total. Each attendee will receive one fan on the day of the event.
The organisers have clarified that this is an admission gift rather than a ticket-purchase bonus. It will only be distributed to people who attend the screening, and it is not available for separate purchase.
The advance screening offers fans an opportunity to see the first two episodes before the regular broadcast and enjoy a live appearance by the original cast.
Ticket Application Schedule
The official advance lottery application is scheduled to close on November 8, 2026, at 11:59 PM JST.
According to the announced schedule:
- Official advance lottery deadline: November 8, 2026, at 11:59 PM

- Ticket display begins: November 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM
The two screening sessions require separate tickets. Anyone planning to attend both parts must purchase a ticket for each session.
Charisma Short Anime to Begin Broadcasting on November 4
In another announcement, the franchise confirmed that a short anime will air before the main TV series begins in January 2027.
The short anime will start broadcasting on November 4, 2026, within TBS’s programme Yoru no Brunch. New instalments are scheduled to air every Wednesday at 11:56 PM.
This gives fans an earlier opportunity to enjoy animated Charisma content while waiting for the full-length TV anime.
The short anime is particularly useful for viewers who want a preview of the characters’ animated personalities before the main series arrives. It also extends the franchise’s promotional activities beyond the teaser PV and music release.
Short anime broadcast details:
- Title: Charisma Short Anime
- First broadcast: November 4, 2026
- Schedule: Every Wednesday at 11:56 PM
- Japanese broadcaster: TBS
- Programme: Yoru no Brunch
The short anime will be shown as part of the television programme rather than as a separately announced standalone broadcast slot.
Charisma Mania: Fifth-Anniversary Event Archive Available Until November 8
The latest anime announcements were made during Charisma Mania, the franchise’s fifth-anniversary event, held on November 1, 2026, at Toyosu PIT in Tokyo.
The event celebrated five years of the Charisma project with special anniversary activities and performances by the seven main voice actors.
Both daytime and evening performances featured anniversary content, although some parts of the programme differed between the two sessions. Fans who want to experience the full event may therefore be interested in watching both archived performances.
Charisma Is Ready to Enter a New Stage
The fifth-anniversary event has delivered several important updates for Charisma. Along with the first teaser PV and the January 2027 broadcast date, fans now have two additional cast members to look forward to, a new digital song, a short anime, and a special advance screening.
The franchise’s unusual share-house premise and seven distinctive main characters have been central to its identity. The upcoming TV anime will give those characters a new way to reach viewers, while the short anime and promotional song will help build excitement before the full series begins.
For existing fans, the announcements mark an exciting new chapter in the project’s fifth-anniversary celebrations. For newcomers, the teaser PV and short anime provide an accessible starting point before the main television series arrives.
With the TV anime scheduled to premiere on January 7, 2027, Charisma is preparing to bring its unpredictable share-house comedy to a wider audience.
