Predicting the greatest anime of 2026

With the summer 2025 season is still in its infancy, the current year has a lot of great anime. Soon, however, will arrive January and bring a number of new sequels and newcomers who have the potential to perform a reflector and online discussion. What will be The largest anime 2026? Although surely too early to make any definitive claims, several main candidates have already given their intentions to catch the crown unless they are delayed or produced a period that are significantly below expectations.

SOLO SOLY PLACE SEENNA 2 It is likely to drop as the largest anime 2025 and the upcoming year will need something massive to match the hype and exposure of this adaptation. Let's emphasize a couple 2026 Anime This should be huge, along with a few series that have to confirm their release.

Emphasis is placed on the “largest” and not the “best”, because it would be completely premature to apply any claims about it.

One piece It is not included because it will naturally be one of the biggest anime of 2026. For this article I decided to prefer new anime and sequel that should/may debut next year.

Demon He was omitted at this point because the films of the sequel are unknown at this point.

Confirmed for winter 2026: Frieren: Beyond the Journey's End Season 2

One of the best anime returns at the beginning of 2026

Scheduled to start 2026 with perfect note, FRIEREN: behind the end of the road Soon I will return to our screens and give another majestic mixture of fantasy with slow life, gentle building the world and splashing incredible action. Season 1 set the bar extremely high and earned praise for not only the strongest anime Madhouse in about ten years, but also one of the best series of all time.

Anime covered only about half of the ongoing manganehito Yamada, so the sequel has more than enough content to produce another whole season. Even more important Frieren is permanently great; In fact, manga seems to improve with every new arch. If he hits a brand, Frieren Season 2 will be The largest anime from 2026. Frankly, it can also be the best.

Confirmed at 2026: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3

Could the 2026 JJK season be the best?

Jujutsu kaisen It's a little weird. Although the Shonen Anime seemed inevitable from debut to 2020, the mappa generally avoided excessive exposure and decided to devote time to ensuring quality adaptation that lives up to humbuk.

Like the gap between the first two seasons, the third record (probably) will drop by 2.5 years after the end of its predecessor, which is more than enough time for mappa to build great tracking and get fans long for yuji and returning society. You have to give people the opportunity to miss you and at the time when the season 3 arrives in 2026, the world will be desperate for more Jjk.

The continuation should be covered by itadori smoothing and perfect preparation arches along with the start of lengthy and ambitious spent games. Season 3 could even finish it, but it will depend on its number of episodes.

Confirmed for 2026: Bleach: A thousand years of blood war – calamity

Legendary Shonen Anime finally ends up

Ten years ago, BleachThe anime seemed to be predetermined to remain incomplete forever. Despite producing some of the best arches of 2000, adaptation continually went to its reputation through a stunning filler, which exceeded its welcome, as well as Canon Stories, which felt like protectors of past glory. Then, in 2022, Pierrot revived this former giant and put Ichig back to the center of attention and made sure his return was decreasing as one of the greatest stories of returning in the history of Anime.

Bleach: Thousands of Year Blood War He has so far been phenomenal, especially in the animation department. Frankly, if you should say that this run represents the peak in the anime action, I would not see that there is no need to offer any kind of refutation. Calamity will bring Bleach At the end, put an anime conclusion that deserves.

Confirmed at 2026: Eleceed

Huge Manhwa becomes Anime in 2026

Solo alignment He was not the first Manhwa to receive anime, but it was the most important. While Tower has been and is still a big problem Solo alignment It is generally considered to be the most popular Manhwu of all time. If the adaptation did not meet expectations (commercially and critically), Japanese studies could be discouraged from conversion to South Korean comic to be inspired, decided to remain island and concentrate only on mangoes.

Eleceed It is quite a huge name in the Manhwa industry and the webtoon son is produced by high quality content since 2018. The story is watching an extremely strange couple when the electrifying Jiwoo connects to Kayden, a guy who stuck like a cat. Together they work as an independent unit that seeks to leave a positive mark in the world, while dealing with awakening, who may not have noble intentions. Humor is a large part EleceedFormula.

Dandelion animation is not a big name no section of imagination, but the studio worked First slashWhich was great.

None Confirmed Year of Edition: Solo World Samensla 3

Well, solo equalizing season 3 will be almost certainly the biggest anime of his year

Solo alignment So far he had quite a good run, and it should be an underestimation. Season 2 overshadowed the rest of the set of winter 2025 and it seems that its continuation is ready to do the same whenever it becomes reality. Images A-1 have not confirmed when Solo World List 3 There can be and there is no warranty that there will be a debut of 2026. This means that next year is not beyond the possibility, especially because the adaptation works on an already completed source.

None Confirmed Year of Edition: Bocchi The Rock Season 2

Favorite socially embarrassing season of rock star of each

A slow burner that gradually exploded during its run at the end of 2022 Bocchi the rock There was an unexpected cultural phenomenon that took the anime world storm. Although it has been since 2017, Manga Aki Hamazi was not a particularly huge name before Anime, which could explain why more than three years have passed without continuing. CloverWorks could be caught by the success of the show, at least to the extent that the studio did not lead to production before the arrival of the season 1.

Bocchi The Rock Season 2 It is confirmed that it is on the way, but the year of release must still be listed. The 2026 seems to be Kessoku Band's Return, but CloverWorks should take all the time to ensure that the sequel replicates the charming unpleasant magic of its predecessor.

No Confirmed Year of the Edition: A Vice -Reading Reader's view

Manhwa that can compete with the popularity of solo equalization

• Based on: Manhwa
• Creator: Sing Shong

Frankly, almost should not be expected to replicate anime adaptation to anime manhwa Solo alignmentSuccess, because that's just too high a goal. It would be similar to the release of the new bustle anime because it is not as popular as Demon or Dragon Ball. However, View of the omniscient look It is the closest thing to the exception, because the source material is not only very popular, but also very highly recognized and accessible. Manhwa is also completed and ends in 2020.

After he was the first and only person to complete a strange novel talking about the end of the world, Kim doja finds that he has to play a hero when the elements of this story are associated with reality. Suddenly he must use his knowledge to try to avoid the end of the days. View of the omniscient look It is known to have a little slow start, but Manhwa is becoming very fast. There is still very little known about adaptation, but if it is solved by a competent study that treats the material with respect, the anime could be and should be one of the largest of 2026.
