Updated September 7, 2026. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo (TVアニメ『超巡！超条先輩』) now has an officially confirmed premiere date, broadcast slot, core staff, cast and an advance screening of its first episode. The series begins on October 6, 2026, at 11:00 p.m. in Japan in Kansai TV and Fuji TV's “Ka-Anival!!” block. Before that, on September 8, episode 1 will be screened at a cast event in Tokyo. This guide separates confirmed information from details that have not yet been announced, without treating rumors as official news.

The October 6 date was announced by the production's official account and reported by Crunchyroll News. The official anime website confirms the weekly Tuesday 11:00 p.m. slot, core staff, cast and adaptation premise.
When the anime premieres and where it will air
The Japanese premiere is set for October 6, 2026. The series joins the “Ka-Anival!!” block, airing Tuesdays at 11:00 p.m. on Kansai TV, Fuji TV and affiliated stations. The block's own page on Kansai TV lists Super Psychic Policeman Chojo as its October 2026 title.
That confirmation applies to Japanese television. On the official pages checked on September 7, there was no announced international streaming platform or confirmed simulcast outside Japan. A Crunchyroll news article about the premiere date does not, by itself, confirm that Crunchyroll has licensed the series for streaming.
What happens at the September 8 advance screening
The September 8 event will take place at United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba in Tokyo. According to the official advance-screening announcement, it includes an early screening of episode 1, followed by a stage talk with five cast members: Yusuke Kobayashi, Riko Aono, Maria Naganawa, Daisuke Ono and Toshiya Miyata.
The screening matters because the first episode will be shown before regular broadcast, but it does not automatically confirm the total episode count, how much of the manga will be adapted or international distribution. Any additional information revealed during or after the event should only be treated as newly confirmed when it appears through official channels or reliable reporting that clearly attributes the announcement.
What premise has been confirmed
The anime adapts Shun Numa's manga and centers on the partnership between Meguru Chojo and Nao Ippongi. The official introduction describes Chojo as a criminal-investigation specialist who can use abilities such as mind reading, clairvoyance and telepathy. Ippongi is a rookie police officer, a judo black belt known for extraordinary physical strength.
The premise is a supernatural police comedy: the pair handle incidents, eccentric residents and neighborhood problems while trying to keep the peace in Chinjuku. The first main trailer reinforces the fast pace and the mix of police incidents, comedy and psychic powers.
The adaptation's scope has not been detailed yet
The official website says the original manga is complete in 8 volumes, but as of September 7 there was no official statement identifying how many chapters or volumes the first season will adapt. The official sources checked also did not list a total episode count.
It is therefore not safe to assume that the anime will cover the entire manga, a specific portion of the eight volumes or a particular arc simply because the source series is already complete. The September 8 screening may show where the adaptation begins and how it handles the opening material, but the season's full scope should only be treated as confirmed if the production announces it.
Confirmed core staff
- Original work: Shun Numa
- Director: Junichi Yamamoto
- Series composition and scripts: Hayashi Mori
- Character design: Masakatsu Sasaki
- Animation production: Arvo Animation
These credits appear on the official website. They are the core production roles confirmed before the September 8 event and are a safer reference than unattributed staff lists in third-party databases.
Confirmed cast
| Character | Voice actor |
|---|---|
| Meguru Chojo | Yusuke Kobayashi |
| Nao Ippongi | Riko Aono |
| Robo-kun | Maria Naganawa |
| Yuki Inukai | Daisuke Ono |
| Hajime Keinain | Toshiya Miyata |
| Hossan | Nobuaki Kanemitsu |
| Lily Togari | Kanna Nakamura |
| Heisuke Ban | Kazuki Ura |
The first five names are also the cast members scheduled to appear in the advance-screening stage talk. The official site additionally lists Hossan, Lily Togari and Heisuke Ban among the already-cast characters.
What is still unconfirmed before September 8
As of this update, the official sources checked did not provide a total episode count, international streaming platform, exact adaptation range, opening and ending theme songs, or an international release schedule. Those points should remain “not announced” rather than being filled with estimates.
The most useful reference for future changes is the official Super Psychic Policeman Chojo website, especially its news section. The September 8 preview already has a clearly defined scope—episode 1 plus a cast talk—so any new detail about streaming, episodes or production credits will need separate confirmation.
