hololive is finally getting its own TV anime. Cover Corporation’s virtual streamer powerhouse announced on 7 September 2026 that Odeholo — the working abbreviation for hololive’s first-ever television anime series — is officially in production, with Studio KAI handling animation. The reveal came during the “hololive Next” anniversary countdown broadcast, kicking off a year-long slate of milestone projects ahead of hololive’s 10th birthday in September 2027.
What Is the Hololive TV Anime “Odeholo”?
The abbreviated title Odeholo (おでホロ) is all Cover Corp has shared so far — the full official title and its meaning will be unveiled at a dedicated reveal event on 23 September 2026. What the company has confirmed: the project has been in development for approximately five years, and Studio KAI — the animation studio behind the earlier hololive Alternative animated shorts and music videos — is producing it.
Story details, episode count, streaming partners, and a premiere date have not been announced. Some visuals shown during the hololive Next broadcast echo scenes from the hololive Alternative animated teasers produced by Studio KAI in 2021–2022, though Cover Corp has not officially described a connection between the two projects. Fans are invited to share theories on X using #Odeholo.
The 23 September Reveal: Dates and Talent Lineup
Cover Corp will hold a dedicated Odeholo information reveal stream on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 at 8:00–9:00 p.m. JST (11:00 p.m.–midnight SGT) on the official Odeholo anime YouTube channel. The stream will disclose the full title, key visual, and story synopsis. Appearing as guests are Momosuzu Nene, Omaru Polka, Yukihana Lamy, and Shishiro Botan, with Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio hosting.
What This Means for Singapore’s Hololive Community
Singapore has one of the most active hololive fanbases in Southeast Asia — from sold-out local merch drops to watch parties for EN and JP concerts. A full TV anime produced by Cover Corp opens the door to physical media releases, theatrical screenings, and major merchandise tie-ins, though none of that is confirmed yet.
No Singapore or SEA streaming partner has been named. With hololive’s existing content deals in the region, candidates like Crunchyroll and ANIPLUS are the natural ones to watch. The 23 September reveal stream is free and globally available on YouTube — no subscription needed.
Cover Corp also announced a brand-new hololive unit, ASOBI★MAWARI-TAI! — the first new unit in approximately two years — with further details rolling out through September 2026 as part of the 10th anniversary campaign. Read the full announcement from Cover Corp for the complete list of hololive Next projects.
