Prime Video has announced the exclusive global premiere of Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26, an anthology anime series based on the formative works of acclaimed manga creator Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man, Look Back). The eight-episode anthology will debut worldwide on November 7, 2025, streaming in over 240 countries and territories.
A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin’ in the Schoolyard tells the tale of two survivors’ bond in a post-apocalyptic world.
Sasaki Stopped a Bullet explores the intense emotions of adolescence.
Love is Blind presents a sci-fi romantic comedy about love on a cosmic scale.
Shikaku follows an unhinged assassin girl’s twisted love story.
Mermaid Rhapsody weaves a touching romance between a boy and a mermaid centered around an underwater piano.
Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome delves into finding one’s true self beyond gender norms.
Nayuta of the Prophecy chronicles the journey of siblings bound by a harsh destiny.
Sisters depicts rivalry, conflict, and growth between artistically inclined sisters.
The project brings together seven acclaimed directors — including Tetsuaki Watanabe (Blue Lock), Nobuyuki Takeuchi (Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?), and Kazuaki Terasawa (The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2) — along with six leading animation studios: ZEXCS, Lapin Track, GRAPH77, 100studio, Studio Kafka, and P.A.WORKS.
Thomas Dubois, Head of French and Japanese Originals at Prime Video, said:
“We are thrilled to bring ‘Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26’ to Prime members worldwide. Working with an array of talented creators, we’ve brought to life these early short stories that represent the creative origins of Tatsuki Fujimoto, a young Japanese manga artist known for crafting unique worlds and singular narratives like Chainsaw Man and Look Back. We believe this collection of eight exceptional stories, spanning genres from fantasy and action to human drama, will captivate audiences globally with its distinctive storytelling.”
Tatsuki Fujimoto also shared his own thoughts:
“I was worried about whether it was really okay to adapt a work created during my student days into an anime, and whether it would end up being a work that relied too much on someone else’s inspiration. However, although I haven’t seen it yet, I believe that it has turned out to be a well-made work because it was made by talented directors.”
