On March 24, 2025, a dedicated X (formerly Twitter) account unveiled key details about the much-anticipated production of The Demons Are Planning Something Good, an anime adaptation of Takuji Kato’s manga. Accompanying the announcement was an eye-catching teaser visual, although specific information about the anime’s release date has yet to be disclosed.
Initially, Kato-san shared the manga on their X account back in 2022. The rights were later acquired by Kadokawa, which began serialization on the DraDra Sharp# web platform, showcasing the distinctive art style by illustrator Gashigashi.
Confirmation of Anime Production for The Demons Are Planning Something Good
This new X account has confirmed the production through a striking visual featuring key characters Renbinkyo, the head of the Demon King’s Army Development Bureau, along with his assistant Letze.

Kato expressed profound gratitude and disbelief at the realization of the anime adaptation, reflecting on its humble beginnings:
“I can’t believe it, but ‘The Demonic Things’ is being made into an anime! It was originally just a hobby manga I posted on social media, but I was able to get to this point thanks to my editor who suggested I serialize it, Gashigashi-sensei who always shows us the best drawings, and above all, all the readers who have supported and cheered me on.”
Illustrator Gashigashi has also conveyed immense appreciation for this adaptation, thanking everyone involved, from creators to readers, highlighting their shared excitement for the anime.
Noteworthy is the involvement of director Takuya Asaoka, known for his work on titles such as Immoral Guild, VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream, and Redo of Healer. Asaoka will direct this supernatural series at TNK Studios, the animation house renowned for its work on hits like High School of DXD and School Days.
