The short anime adaptation will be produced by Deregula, an anime label under Wave, the company behind AnimeFesta. Deregula also produced A Dark Elf with a Slightly Heavy Love Followed Me from Another World.
This marks their fourth project, following A Married Woman’s Lips Taste Like Canned Chuhai and Don’t Touch Me, Kotesashi-kun, both slated for release and broadcast in 2025.
The newly released key visual features Akane looking flustered as Nadeshiko embraces her.
A special comment from the manga’s author, Yakiniku Teishoku, has also been released, along with a commemorative illustration celebrating the anime adaptation.

“Do Androids Count as Experienced?” is getting a short anime adaptation! I was completely surprised when I first heard the news, but it’s finally starting to sink in. I’m really excited to see Akane and Nadeshiko moving and speaking on screen.
I hope all of you who’ve been following the series will enjoy the anime as much as I will. It’ll still be a while before it airs, but I’ll keep working hard to make the manga even more popular in the meantime. Thank you for your continued support!
