Minami-ke: Korekara sets April 2027 premiere as the original cast returns after 13 years
The new Minami-ke TV anime premieres April 2027 at LIDEN FILMS, with a teaser visual, teaser PV and the full returning cast led by Rina Sato.
The Minami sisters are finally coming home. At the Minami-ke Special Event 2026 on November 8, the new TV anime Minami-ke: Korekara (roughly "from here on") was dated for April 2027, along with a teaser visual, a teaser PV, character art and the full cast and staff.
The old voices are all back
This is the part fans were holding their breath for. The last Minami-ke TV series aired in 2013, and the new one brings back the entire previous cast. Rina Sato returns as Haruka, Marina Inoue as Kana and Minori Chihara as Chiaki, with Nana Mizuki as Toma, Daisuke Ono as Hosaka, Tetsuya Kakihara as Fujioka and the rest of the familiar lineup right behind them.
The teaser PV opens with Haruka calling everyone to dinner and then runs through Kana and Chiaki bickering, classmates, and the other Minami household. Nothing has changed, and that is exactly the point.
New team behind the camera
- Director: Jun'ichi Kitamura
- Series composition: Takamitsu Kono (returning)
- Character design: Nobuhiro Ando
- Sound director: Yasunori Ebina (returning)
- Music: Yasuhiro Misawa (returning)
- Animation production: LIDEN FILMS
The teaser visual shows Chiaki, Kana and Haruka leaping in the same direction, a simple image that says "we're moving again" after more than a decade.
My take
Minami-ke was always the comfort-food comedy of its era, and the staff even repeated the series' classic warning: this is a story that calmly depicts the everyday lives of three sisters, so please don't expect too much. Honestly, that line made me happier than any big reveal could. Details are on the official press release, and the series has an anime.day page.
