Seven spring season animes you can't miss

Each new season brings a new batch of animes. Whether it’s winter, spring, summer, or autumn, every three months we have a new set of animes. Not all of them are good, but there are always interesting animes to watch. And this season there are many interesting animes to see. Because this year’s spring season has come in so strong that the selection has been really difficult and laborious. But here are the six animes you shouldn’t miss for anything in the world.

Akane-banashi

Where to watch it: Prime Video

Probably the most anticipated series of the year has not disappointed its fans. Animated with all the detail one would expect, with all the care and unimaginable attention, it has done everything possible to create a strong impression from the very beginning. And it has succeeded.

Because Akane-banashi is a story of rakugo, of telling stories while sitting on the floor for an audience, that is built like a shonen fighting series: there is a story of loss and revenge, rivals to defeat, and training to undergo. All of this in the context of the arts and learning to tell stories, doing it better, in a way that feels fresh and fascinating for a formula that sometimes seems exhausted, but always finds a way to refresh it.

Go For It, Nakamura-kun!!

Where to watch it: Prime Video

If what you’re looking for is an anime with a retro touch, a charming romance, and plenty of humor, you need to look no further. Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! has a simple premise, but you’ll know right away if it interests you: a high school boy has a huge crush on another boy in his class, but he’s too shy to approach him normally. This doesn’t stop him from having some absolutely wild ideas on how to make love blossom between them.

With a 90s artistic style, yet feeling completely contemporary, a hilarious humor, and charming characters, it’s one of those series that warms your heart and makes you feel good, while keeping you laughing at all times. A very well-crafted series that treats LGBT themes with great care (no one is in the closet here) and will delight fans of romantic comedies.

MARRIAGETOXIN

Where to watch it: Crunchyroll

Speaking of romantic comedies, Marriagetoxin is the perfect blend of two worlds: that of shonen and romantic comedy. Why? Because it is both. Its premise is that the heir of a clan of professional assassins specialized in the use of poisons must find a woman to marry in order to inherit the throne. To achieve this, he will team up with a con artist specialized in marriage scams.

With a perfect blend of romance and action, featuring characters that are easy to empathize with and relate to, it is a very unique and fun anime. The manga has already shown that it knows how to balance both aspects very well throughout its chapters, and it doesn’t seem like the anime will have any issues in this regard. So we are in for a tremendous journey ahead.

Spirits of the Underworld

Where to watch it: Crunchyroll

Hiromu Arakawa is the author of Fullmetal Alchemist and is the creator of this Yomi no Tsugai, Spirits of the Underworld in Spain, a unique work that offers a singular take on fantasy and action, heavily inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. If all of this hasn’t made you run to see it, we don’t know what else to say to make you do so, because it seems impossible that there is a series this season with more potential to become a cult classic.

In fact, everything so far shows that it has everything to succeed. The script is impeccable, the animation is understated but knows how to shine in the moments that matter, and the action is spectacular. It is a series that seems unlikely not to be seen beyond the borders of anime fans. Because, again, we are talking about the author of Fullmetal Alchemist creating a work similar to Fullmetal Alchemist: you can’t ask for more.

LIAR GAME

Where to watch it: Crunchyroll

Probably the most unique anime of the season. Adapting a manga that ended in 2015, which has been adapted four times into live action, and which received a continuation earlier this year, it is one of the most fascinating and unknown thrillers in manga, even if it is a cult title. Something that could and should change with the anime.

Liar Game is the original Squid Game, but much darker, more complex, and psychologically intense. It may not have the flashiest animation, but its direction and script are excellent, and what will happen in subsequent episodes is a journey that the Korean series can’t even begin to dream of. If you liked Squid Game, you need to watch Liar Game. And if you didn’t, you should still watch it, because if Liar Game is a cult classic that receives sequels and adaptations ten years after its release, it’s because it’s that good.

Nippon Sangoku: The three nations of the crimson sun

Where to watch it: Prime Video

If there is an anime that can go unnoticed and shouldn’t, it is Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun. Because it is an anime with excellent animation, amazing direction, and it has a fascinating premise: after a nuclear apocalypse, humanity has rebuilt society and Japan has been divided into three nations. A man, after a personal grievance, decides to reunify Japan.

With a lot of heart, politically in an ambiguous place, visually fascinating, Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun is a complex series, but it is worth giving it a chance. Especially because we don’t often see animes with this finish, much less with this care in their narrative.

Witch Hat Atelier

Where to watch: Crunchyroll

In this house, we love Witch Hat Atelier. It’s the good Harry Potter. A series about young witches who are learning the craft of magic in a world where there is a great evil lurking in the shadows that they will have to face, whether they want to or not, in the near future, while trying to understand its complex bureaucracy. Only with a much better built world, characters that are easier to empathize with, and a closer approach to fantasy, in addition to being aimed at a more adult audience.

Also, we won’t hide it: we didn’t bet on the possibility of making a good anime out of this manga. Its artwork is incredibly intricate, its designs are complex, and adapting that to anime seems impossible. But not only have they succeeded, they have done so with one of the most spectacular animes we have seen in years. If there is an anime you must watch, at least give it a chance, it is this one. Especially if you are or were a fan of Harry Potter and want to see what possibilities exist beyond J.K. Rowling.

If you like Studio Ghibli, this anime about a magical school could be your new obsession

The highly anticipated anime Witch Hat Atelier, based on the acclaimed manga by Kamome Shirahama, will premiere on April 6 on Crunchyroll. Since its publication in 2016, this work has captured the audience’s imagination with its visual style that evokes the magic of Studio Ghibli films, thanks to its detailed craftsmanship and an atmosphere of mystery that envelops the narrative.

The highly anticipated anime Witch Hat Atelier, based on the acclaimed manga by Kamome Shirahama, will premiere on April 6 on Crunchyroll.

Since its publication in 2016, this work has captured the audience’s imagination with its visual style that evokes the magic of Studio Ghibli films, thanks to its detailed craftsmanship and a mysterious atmosphere that envelops the narrative.

Witch Hat Atelier is about to be released

The story follows Coco, a girl whose desire to learn magic leads her to an unexpected discovery: magic does not depend on innate talent, but is based on an accessible system of symbols and drawings. This different approach distances it from series like Harry Potter, where magic is an exclusive quality of certain individuals, and instead, presents a world where anyone can learn to use the magical art.

The adaptation, directed by Ayumu Watanabe and produced by Bug Films, promises to do justice to the impressive visual aspect of the manga, whose pages resemble illustrations from classic tales. The first episodes have been received with enthusiasm, highlighting the attention to detail in the landscapes and everyday life of Coco’s magical world, which echoes Miyazaki’s philosophy: the fantastic can be found in the everyday.

Additionally, Witch Hat Atelier incorporates significant cultural references, such as the painting Circe Invidiosa by John William Waterhouse, which connects the magic of the series with a rich European artistic and literary tradition. This nod establishes a dialogue with the broader cultural context surrounding the art of magic, echoing classic stories and illustrations.

With its focus on the act of creation and its reclamation of art as a form of magic, Witch Hat Atelier promises to be more than just a simple fantasy anime; it is a celebration of human potential and the beauty found in creation. Early reviews suggest that this series could appeal to both fans of the original manga and those seeking a visually and narratively rich experience in contemporary anime.

Crunchyroll presents the first look at the biggest video game adaptation to anime so far… and it might not be the last

Video games have always had a very close relationship with anime. The fact that both industries have strong roots in Japan has a lot to do with it, although it is true that it has not always been a particularly fruitful relationship for video games. The number of not particularly interesting anime based on video games is notable. Although it is also inevitable: it has always been seen as an interesting source, but with little substance to dig into. The same happened with Western cinema and television series, something that has changed over time. This includes anime. For a few years now, […]

The video game has always had a very close relationship with anime. That both industries have strong roots in Japan has a lot to do with it, although it is true that it has not always been a particularly fruitful relationship for video games. The number of not particularly interesting anime based on video games is notable. Although it is also inevitable: it has always been seen as an interesting source, but with little substance to dig into.

But the same was true for Western cinema and television series, something that has changed over time. This includes anime. In recent years, it has become much more common to find good anime adaptations of popular video games, or even those that are not so popular. And the latest example is one of the most important video games from From Software, of which we will soon be able to see the first images: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The path to anime is one full of obstacles

Despite being one of the studio’s most successful games, From Software has not continued the success of the game. It has not released a sequel, has barely made any spinoffs, and has taken more than five years to continue its story. However, it is going to do so.

Crunchyroll will present the first images of the anime adaptation of the video game, Sekiro: No Defeat, on March 16 at South By Southwest, better known as SXSW. And although they have not wanted to reveal everything yet, we do know some very important aspects. For example, it will tell a completely new story compared to the original video game. Or that it will be entirely hand-drawn, not using any 3D or digital technology for it.

In charge of the anime is a relatively new studio, as its foundation dates back to February 2021, called Qzil.la. With only one anime under its umbrella, the currently airing Champignon no Majo, a pleasant and melancholic fantasy romance about a witch with poisonous skin who will gradually open up to the residents of the nearby city to the forest in which she lives. Available on Crunchyroll and although not taking the world by storm, it is proving that they are capable of making a visually appealing and interesting anime, and at the very least, carrying out a project.

Because let’s be frank. Many times the specific study is less important than the specific people involved, especially since anime is dominated by freelance animators rather than in-house workers. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the other data we know: the proper names of the production.

The director will be Kenichi Kutsuna in his debut in the position, although he has held certain responsible positions in previous animes such as Chi’s Sweet Adventure and Magical Destroyers. The script is by Shuta Hasunuma, director and screenwriter, whose most notable works in this role include the script for the movie Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and the series The Great Passage.

Shuya Hasunuma is in charge of the music, whose debut in anime will be in March with Hana Rokushō ga Akeru Hi ni, but who is a small celebrity in Japan for his exquisite blend of electronic music with found sounds and field recordings, giving his compositions a fresh and very unique style.

What does that mean? It means that it is possible that it has an interesting and well-structured script, that it is very likely to have one of the most interesting soundtracks of the year —if not one of the best, if Hasunuma is able to translate his music to the needs of the images—,  and that the weakest point yet to be seen is in the direction: Kutsuna does not have a great track record and does not have a particularly solid team behind, which raises suspicion that it could be one of those cases where the anime stands out more for the solidity of the exogenous elements than for the image itself.

It is not the only video game anime (upcoming or existing)

Although Sekiro: No Defeat is undoubtedly the release that will make the most headlines in the coming weeks, that doesn’t mean it’s the only video game that will soon make the leap to anime. Because Death Stranding is also about to do so.

Announced for 2026, Death Stranding Mosquito is backed by ABC Animation, one of the most solid studios currently in the anime world. Moreover, the names involved are not exactly people to overlook. Hiroshi Miyamoto has directed several Precure movies, one of the most prestigious and beloved magical girl series in Japan, from which some of the best anime directors of the last decade have emerged. And its screenwriter is Aaron Guzikowski, creator of Raised by Wolves and screenwriter of Prisoners, one of the most reliable screenwriters in Hollywood.

The difference is that it is not a series, it is a movie. And with no release date and no date for when we will know more about it, Death Stranding Mosquito will remain the great unknown of the year. Even if it should be on the radar of any movie enthusiast, whether they are an anime fan or not, due to the involvement of all those involved.

Moreover, video games have increasingly given us better animes. Last year, the adaptations of Gnosia and Nukitashi were a hit among moviegoers and otakus respectively. Before that, the very popular Fate franchise, with animes that always captivate the audience, has continued to have different iterations over the years, all born from a video game: Fate/Stay Night. Even Western licenses, like Cyberpunk, have recently made a splash with animes like the excellent Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

That’s why we need to keep an eye on video game adaptations to anime. Because, as with live-action, the time when they were just a formality to maximize profits has passed. There are reasons to have faith in Sekiro: No Defeat and Death Stranding Mosquito, even if they still have to show us more concrete details about them. Because anime is stronger than ever, at least when it comes to adapting video games.

Amazon Prime Video wins the battle against Crunchyroll for one of the animes that will be talked about the most this year

Crunchyroll has solidified its position as the largest anime streaming platform, but it faces growing competition from giants like Netflix and Prime Video, which are forming strategic alliances to capture the attention of anime fans. In this context, Prime Video has announced that it will be the home of the tenth adaptation of the iconic Ghost in the Shell franchise, a series produced by the renowned studio Science Saru, known for its bold visual proposals.

Crunchyroll has solidified its position as the largest anime streaming platform, but it faces increasing competition from giants like Netflix and Prime Video, which are forming strategic alliances to capture the attention of anime fans.

In this context, Prime Video has announced that it will be the home of the tenth adaptation of the iconic franchise Ghost in the Shell, a series produced by the renowned studio Science Saru, known for its bold visual proposals. The series will premiere on the platform in July of this year.

Reinventing the classic

The premiere of this new adaptation is scheduled for July 2026, and it promises to mark a significant aesthetic shift from the original 1995 film. With a very bold artistic direction and a brighter color palette than we are used to in this anime, this version seeks to bring the tone closer to the famous manga by Masamune Shirow, as the author himself has indicated when referring to the project, suggesting that it could be considered the beginning of a second generation of the franchise.

Despite being a pillar of cyberpunk and having notably influenced Hollywood works like The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell has navigated complicated waters in recent years.

The 2017 live-action adaptation starring Scarlett Johansson did not meet box office and critical expectations, something that was also reflected in the reception of the series Ghost in the Shell: SAC-2045 released in 2020, which received negative comments. However, the cultural relevance of the saga remains intact, solidifying its status as a timeless classic of anime and science fiction cinema.

With the arrival of this new series on Prime Video, fans hope for a triumphant return to the roots of cyberpunk at a time when competition in the anime market continues to grow.

The second season of Frieren: The Last Farewell has temporarily paused its airing, a decision that has surprised many fans. The series, which has so far released five episodes, will return on February 27, interrupting its narrative due to the celebration of the Winter Olympics. The studio Madhouse, responsible for the production, made this announcement, accompanied by the reveal of a new promotional poster for the second half of the season, leaving followers with renewed expectations.

Come back to finish the journey

This second half of Frieren will address the ‘Revolte the Divine Arc’, where a new villain, Revolte, the leader of a group of demons who will challenge the main team, will be introduced, forcing them to refine their skills for the intense battles that await them. Unlike the first part of the season, which had a larger number of episodes, the second installment will consist of a total of 10 chapters, according to previews of the Blu-ray release.

Despite the pause, the anime has received very positive reviews, positioning itself as one of the favorites to be considered one of the best animes of 2026, competing with acclaimed titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and new productions like Sentenced to Be a Hero. However, the Frieren manga is on indefinite hold, although the universe continues to expand thanks to a lesser-known prequel and collaborations, such as the one made with Solo Leveling.

With this wait until the end of February, Frieren fans have reasons to be excited, looking forward to discovering how the narrative will unfold in the upcoming episodes and how they will face the new adversities posed by Revolte.

A new series from its creator

The premiere date of the anime has been confirmed for April 4th and will be available on Crunchyroll, which promises to be a major draw for Arakawa fans and anime lovers in general. With the arrival of a new trailer, viewers have been able to appreciate not only the visual animation but also the soundtrack, which includes the opening theme titled Tobu Toki by Vaundy and the closing theme Tobouyo by Yama.

Unlike Fullmetal Alchemist, which was based on a dieselpunk aesthetic influenced by European folklore, Yomi no Tsugai delves into the rich Japanese folklore, incorporating fantastic elements such as demons and magic. This decision marks a notable shift in Arakawa’s style, who have raised the expectations for the series. Additionally, it is a collaboration with Studio Bones, the same studio that animated Fullmetal Alchemist, which adds an extra level of anticipation for the final product.

The series is already considered a spiritual successor to Fullmetal Alchemist, which implies that Arakawa faces the pressure of meeting the high expectations set by her previous success. However, the first previews have been promising and the author’s followers are eager to see how this new narrative will unfold starting in April. Yomi no Tsugai has the potential to become one of the big hits of 2026 in the world of anime.

The highly anticipated second season of Frieren is set to premiere on January 16, and fans can expect an enriching experience that will be broadcast on both Netflix and Crunchyroll. This new installment of the series will continue the plot immediately after the First Class Mage Exam arc, taking the main characters on a journey to the Demon King Ende’s castle in search of Aureole, a key element in their story.

A season that promises to be talked about

One of the highlights of this season will be the development of the Hero of the South, a character who will take on a more prominent role. This character will be played by Kazuhiko Inoue, known for his role as Yoriichi in Demon Slayer, who is acclaimed as the most powerful demon hunter. This connection has generated great interest among fans, as the Hero of the South is portrayed as the strongest warrior of humanity and his dedication to fighting demons is a cornerstone of the narrative.

Additionally, the series revealed a new trailer that offers a glimpse of the opening titled “lulu,” performed by the Japanese alternative rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE. The band is known for its immersive sound and has been part of other successful productions such as Fire Force and Yu-Gi-Oh!. This adds an extra appeal for the audience, promising a musical experience that will complement the exciting adventures the characters will face in this new season.

Expectations are high for Frieren, an anime that has captured the audience’s attention not only for its intriguing plot but also for its character development. With this second season, fans of the series will be able to delve deeper into the story and discover new plots and challenges that will enrich the universe created by the production.

The production, led by Studio KAI, a relatively unknown studio on the international scene, manages to stand out thanks to its striking visual proposal and an intriguing plot that combines elements of dark fantasy, demons, gods, and heroes.

A success on social media

The narrative of Sentenced to Be Hero follows Xylo, a hero forced to fulfill his destiny after being condemned for a crime he apparently did not commit. His mission is to confront the fearsome Demon Kings, who pose a threat to humanity. This focus on an anti-hero protagonist, similar to works like Chainsaw Man and Deadman Wonderland, adds a dimension of redemption and complex morality to the story. Since its first preview, the series has captured attention for its stylized art and horror elements that were highlighted by critics like Chema Mansilla.

The reactions on social media have been unanimous in expressing the excitement generated by the premiere, with comments highlighting the quality of the animation and the development of the plot. “I didn’t even feel like an hour had passed. The actress Mayu Iizuka recalled that the second episode will air on January 15. With so much buzz around it, Sentenced to Be Hero seems to be among the best animes of 2026, just as the year is beginning.

After the platform used an AI system to produce the dubbing, the results were deemed disastrous, leading Amazon to withdraw the content shortly after its release. This event has put competitors’ actors on alert, who are closely watching the fans’ reactions.

Something more emotional

Crunchyroll, one of Amazon’s main competitors in anime distribution, has stated that it will not use AI in its dubbing. In the words of its representative, dubbing is an emotional connection, it is not a service, which reinforces its commitment to quality and authenticity in the user experience. In Latin America, where dubbed content is highly valued, more than 30 series are dubbed per season. Spain is also increasing the number of series with dubbing in Spanish to attract local fans.

However, Crunchyroll has not been free from problems related to AI. Recently, the platform faced a scandal when it was discovered that the subtitles of a series had been generated by ChatGPT. The company removed these subtitles and distanced itself from AI, holding the translation company involved responsible. This situation has led Crunchyroll to take a firm stance against the use of artificial intelligence in creative processes.

As the discussion about AI in dubbing continues, it seems that viewers still value the emotional connection and quality that human dubbing offers, which could influence the future direction of the anime industry.

New Year’s Gift

Director Shinichi Omata, who led the previous three seasons, will once again be at the helm of this special along with the main creative team from A-1 Pictures. This collaboration assures fans that the essence of the series will remain intact, although it is still unknown how the international availability of the episode will be. However, given that Crunchyroll has been the streaming platform for the series and its movie, it is likely that this new installment will also be available on the streaming service.

Three years after the movie ‘The First Kiss That Never Ends’, fans have been eagerly awaiting new news about the series. Despite the imminent return of the special, there remains uncertainty surrounding the fourth season of the anime, as no release date has been confirmed. Currently, the series has adapted up to episode 137 of Aka Akasaka’s manga, leaving a lot of material unexplored, as the manga consists of a total of 28 volumes. This situation raises expectations that the airing of the special may bring encouraging news about the continuation of the story in the new year.
