AceShowbiz - The Spring 2026 anime season is set to begin, bringing a new batch of series to fans. The year has already seen major anime such as Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 launch. Alongside these, Winter 2026 included titles like Sentenced to be a Hero and Journal the Witch.

With the close of the Winter 2026 season, anime enthusiasts await the new slate of series arriving this spring.

Crunchyroll caters to an international audience. The Spring 2026 season features the return of fan favorites with new installments, including Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3 and Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World Season 4. In addition, new series such as Witch Hat Atelier and Daemons of the Shadow Realm will make their debut, alongside a mix of sequels and other shows.
