spring 2026 anime

i haven’t been watching anime consistently for the past year, but i’m starting to get back into watching seasonal anime to keep up with new releases. i’m making this post to discuss, recommend, and receive recommendations about the current spring 2026 season. disclaimer that i’m not watching any sequels because i don’t know any of the continuing anime and am not interested.

first of all for the ones i like so far are nippon sangoku and yomi no tsugai.

i highly recommend nippon sangoku. the unique art style and animation really captured my attention. the first episode starts off with a bang and is very fast paced. it’s more like a prologue to the main story. second episode was still good. characters are interesting including our mc. i’m excited to see where the plot goes.

yomi no tsugai is made by the same author as fma, but they are different. still the same shounen genre though. i like it so far, but things could definitely go wrong seeing as how the manga itself has such a low rating. it’s entertaining though, so i’ll keep watching it.

another anime i’m watching is witch hat atelier, probably the most popular one this season for its stunning animation. i have to admit so far i’m not super hyped about this since 1. i usually don’t watch anime with a bunch of little girls especially one being the mc and 2. magic and witches being the power and theme. i heard the two male teacher characters carried the fandom with their yaoi, so let’s see if their relationship is any good. also qifrey’s voice as tanjiro really throws me off.

i’m also thinking of watching ganbare! nakamura-kun!! if it turns out decent. i still remember people making renditions of the manga cover with their own ship on twt.

any recommendations? i’m open to suggestions. usually into shounen, sports, seinen, psychology, mystery, shoujo, etc. not into slice of life, mecha, romance with the male gaze
