Odekake Hololive (Japanese: おでかけホロライブ, abbreviated Odeholo) is the first TV anime project from hololive production. It follows the talents on day trips across many locations and seasons in Japan. The official site has announced 29 characters and the Studio KAI team, but as of September 30, 2026 it has not confirmed an air date, episode count or international platform.
What is Odekake Hololive about?
The official introduction calls it an anthology-style travel story. On each trip, hololive members visit different places around Japan, enjoy local food and take in the seasonal scenery. This structure suits the large cast: the show doesn't have to put all 29 talents into a single storyline, and can change its central group from episode to episode or journey to journey.
It is also what sets Odeholo apart from anime with continuous battle or idol storylines. The content is presented as everyday, fun and easy to watch on its own. Viewers who have never followed the livestreams can get in through the characters' personalities and interactions, while longtime fans get familiar pairings in a more carefully staged setting.
Confirmed production staff
- Original work: COVER Corporation.
- Director: Shunsuke Machiya.
- Assistant director: Ōri Yasukawa.
- Series composition: Kōdai Minami.
- Character design: Masatoshi Tsuji.
- Animation production: Studio KAI.
COVER says Studio KAI has worked on many of hololive's anime and official music videos. Experience with the talents' looks is an important advantage, because the anime has to unify designs that were originally developed by many different artists while keeping each person's recognizable traits.
Which 29 talents appear?
The list on the website ranges from Tokino Sora, Robocosan and the first generations to the HoloX group, including La+ Darknesss, Takane Lui, Hakui Koyori and Kazama Iroha. Other notable names include Shirakami Fubuki, Sakura Miko, Hoshimachi Suisei, Usada Pekora, Houshou Marine, Oozora Subaru, Inugami Korone, Shishiro Botan and Omaru Polka.
The number 29 is the list of characters introduced and doesn't mean they will all get equal screen time in every episode. The official site also hasn't announced hololive English, hololive Indonesia or DEV_IS in this cast, so there is no reason to speculate that they will appear without further announcements.
Why is this a milestone for hololive?
Hololive already has many short animated videos, music videos and fictional-world projects, but Odeholo is clearly announced as the brand's first TV anime. It is part of a run of activities leading up to the 10th anniversary in 2027, extending the VTuber image from livestream content into a television format with its own staff and production structure.
The next things to watch are episode length, the broadcast schedule and how the characters are grouped. Until those details are announced, calling it a short series or predicting a specific season is only speculation.
