Getting Shots on a Frying Pan Arrives in January 2027

The winter 2027 anime season is preparing to welcome an unconventional culinary adventure. Getting Shots on a Frying Pan, the television adaptation of the manga by Juntaro Aoki and Shin Moriyama, is officially scheduled to premiere in January 2027. Produced by animation studio J.C.STAFF, the series has received a new teaser trailer, offering viewers an early glimpse into its distinctive blend of gastronomic exploration, travel and dark comedy.

The story follows Juntaro, an adventurous food enthusiast whose passion for discovering extraordinary dishes takes him to some of the world's most dangerous destinations. Drawing inspiration from real-life experiences, the narrative combines culinary discoveries with the unpredictable encounters that accompany his journeys. One of the manga's most unusual creative choices is its portrayal of every character as a woman, reflecting the protagonist's eccentric perception of reality.

The anime features an intriguing dual casting arrangement, with Shu Uchida and Masaaki Mizunaka both lending their voices to Juntaro. Masahiro Hiraoka is directing the project, while Susumu Yamakawa oversees the series composition and screenplay. Natsuki Oyama is responsible for character design and serves as chief animation director. The soundtrack will be composed by Otomo Yoshihide, with Yoshikazu Iwanami handling sound direction.

Originally launched in 2021 on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype platform, the manga currently spans five collected volumes in Japan. The franchise expanded in 2026 with a spin-off titled Getting Shots on a Frying Pan: Transit, written by Aoki and illustrated by Hirota Takahara. With its unconventional approach to food culture and international travel, the upcoming adaptation promises to deliver one of the more distinctive experiences of the winter 2027 anime lineup.
