On the official YouTube channel of Fuji TV, a video was released today announcing the anime Tatami Time Machine Blues (Yojō-Han Time Machine Blues), inspired by Tomihiko Morimi's novel. Tatami Time Machine Blues is a sequel to Morimi's earlier novel The Tatami Galaxy (Yojō-Han Shinwa Taikei), which has been published by KADOKAWA since July 2020.

Shingo Natsume (Space Dandy, One-Punch Man, Boogiepop) serves as director for a script written by Ueda himself and commented on his work: "It's been over 10 years since the anime 'The Tatami Galaxy' aired, but as soon as I started reading 'Tatami Time Machine Blues,' I was immediately transported back to that time. I will do my best to create the anime version so that I can share this nostalgia with everyone. I hope you will also enjoy a new feeling of 'Summertime Machine Blues.'"
Yojouhan Time Machine Blues takes place on a sweltering midsummer day when Ozu, the protagonist's "terrible friend," accidentally drowns the only remote control for the air conditioner in their apartment. As they discuss their predicament with Akashi, the protagonist's raven-haired love interest, a sloppily dressed time-traveling student from 25 years in the future arrives, prompting the protagonist to borrow his time machine to retrieve the remote from the past before it breaks.
