New year, new season of anime! It is Spring 2026 time! So, it’s time to talk about the shows that have already started airing and what will be airing in the coming days. If you would like a dedicated episode thread for a show that has aired but @rikka@ani.social didn’t make one, you can request it by pm. Like always, discussion about any other anime topic is also welcome!
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).
My picks for Spring are extremely bland, I’m watching number 1 and 2 most popular AniList shows. I would watch number 3 as well but I’m a light novel reader for that one and I’ve already skipped over the previous season. I’ve been pretty lean overall when it comes to recently airing shows (only watched Frieren from Winter 2026) but it’s given me a much needed opportunity to chip away at my long abandoned backlog.
