Spring season is rapidly approaching! It’s time to start looking ahead to the next season and thinking about what is worth watching vs. what isn’t. This is also the official thread where I will watch for shows that you mention and will enable threads for those shows to be made by our resident bot, @rikka@ani.social.
Please feel free to use this thread as a normal weekly discussion thread as well! Anything that would normally be in the weekly discussion thread any other week is welcome here.
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
This season is full of very popular, high budget shows (I don’t think we ever had this many in one season). Spring 2026 tones things down quite a bit in that regard but I think I’ll watch even more shows than I watch now. There’s a lot of smaller budget shows that I think I’ll really enjoy. I won’t list everything since it’s more than 25 series and listing everything would take too much time but the most interesting ones will be forwarded to rikka.
