The hololive VTuber agency is moving into television with its first-ever anime series. Revealed during the "hololive Next 2026.9.7" livestream, the project is currently operating under the working title "Odeholo." The production serves as a centerpiece for the agency's upcoming 10th-anniversary celebration.
Studio KAI has been tapped to handle the animation for the series. The studio is already familiar with the brand, having previously collaborated on various music videos and smaller-scale animated projects for the agency's talent. This transition to a full television format expands the agency's multimedia footprint beyond its traditional streaming roots.
More information is expected during a dedicated special stream scheduled for September 23 at 8:00 p.m. JST. The broadcast will feature appearances from hololive talents Momosuzu Nene, Omaru Polka, Yukihana Lamy, and Shishiro Botan. While the studio and core concept are confirmed, details regarding the series' plot or episode count remain under wraps.
Why it matters: The involvement of Studio KAI suggests a continuation of the visual style established in the agency's previous short-form animated works, though it remains to be seen how the production will adapt the improvisational nature of VTuber content into a serialized narrative format.
