The official website for the Tsugumi Project television anime, adapted from ippatu‘s manga, revealed a new promotional visual and announced a January 2027 premiere date on Thursday.

Story

Set in the far future, a soldier named Leon is torn from his family on a fabricated charge and thrust into a suicide mission: recover a dangerous weapon from a land overrun by massive, irradiated, mutated monsters — a place once known, 200 years ago, as Japan. Leon and his teammates are given little chance of survival, and one of the few clues they carry is the weapon’s name: Tsugumi.
