ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

Daemons, seasonal powers, and giants are what you can expect this spring anime season. There’s a new season full of anime like the return of Dorohedoro, Rumiko Takahashi’s Mao, and the highly anticipated Witch Hat Atelier. Across Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Hulu, and Netflix, as well as others, there are a lot of places to enjoy anime at the moment.

Check out some anticipated series in the video above or the slideshow gallery below, followed by the full list of new Spring season 2026 anime and where to watch them in the U.S. and their respective streaming platforms. Anime listed are available now unless otherwise stated.

Rooster Fighter (Hulu, Disney+, Adult Swim)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

One of the wildest anime of the year is here with Rooster Fighter! If you told me there’s a shonen anime led by roosters and chickens, I would have trouble believing it… but then here’s Rooster Fighter, which is exactly that. As the title suggests, it’s quite ridiculous and leans into the typical shonen tropes, but with a poultry twist. Even the main Rooster is voiced by Kenta Miyake, who famously plays the one and only All Might from My Hero Academia!

SANZIGEN, the studio known for the BanG Dream! series and Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, is heading animation. If you enjoy series like Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider or JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, this will be a fun anime to check out. Rooster Fighter is available now on Hulu, Disney+, and Adult Swim.

Dandelion (Netflix)

Another fun series this spring season is Dandelion. This comedy series follows Tetsuo, an angel tasked with guiding the dead into the afterlife. Of course, he’s somewhat of a lazy bum, so chaos ensues. If this comedy series seems familiar, the series is created by Hideaki Sorachi, well known for the beloved Gintama. NAZ, the studio behind Thermae Romae Novae and Id:Invaded, is taking on animation production. If you’re already a fan of Gintama or a show like Nichijou, this anime is right up your alley. Dandelion is now available on Netflix.

Witch Hat Atelier (Crunchyroll)

The highly anticipated Witch Hat Atelier is finally here! The series follows Coco, a young girl who becomes infatuated with magic, which leads her down a path of unfortunate events. BUG FILMS, known for Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, is the studio behind the animation, and they’re really pulling out all the stops for this series. Between the movement and displays of magic, Witch Hat Atelier achieves some of the most beautiful visual sequences we’ve seen so far this year. If you want to check out one of the most talked about anime of 2026, now’s the chance to dive into this magical adventure. Witch Hat Atelier is available now on Crunchyroll.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Crunchyroll)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

From the creator of the very popular Fullmetal Alchemist comes another highly anticipated series this season with Daemons of the Shadow Realm. The series follows Yuru, a twin brother who becomes the master of two daemons and learns that an outside world exists due to an enemy attack on their hidden village. Hiromu Arakawa’s work with Fullmetal Alchemist is arguably one of the most beloved anime ever, so new and old fans are excited to see the adaptation of this series. Bones Film, the studio behind the final season of My Hero Academia and Gachiakuta, is leading animation here. So far, the series is meeting the high expectations of its sister anime with its engaging action and intriguing mystery. It’s a definite add to any shonen fan’s watch list. Daemons of the Shadow Realm is available now on Crunchyroll.

Mao (Hulu, Disney+)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

Speaking of adapting other series from well known mangaka, Mao debuts this season. From the creator of Inuyasha and Ranma ½ , we’re finally seeing the latest anime adaptation from the famous works of Rumiko Takahashi. The new anime series follows Nanoka, a young girl who mysteriously teleports to the past and meets a swordsman named Mao. It’s here that she learns of the existence of monsters and spirits – and her potential supernatural powers. Sunrise, the studio behind Gintama and Inuyasha, is working on this series, so fans of Takahashi-san should feel right at home. Mao is available now on Hulu and Disney+.

Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring (Crunchyroll)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

It’s very fitting that this new series, Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring, is debuting this season. The series follows Hinagiku, who has the power to invoke the season of spring wherever she goes, and Sakura, her personal guardian. Wit Studio, well known for Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, is heading animation on this series, and we’ve already been treated to some visually stunning sequences so far this season. If you’re looking for an intriguing fantasy drama with some action this spring, this is worth a shot. Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring is available now on Crunchyroll.

The Ramparts of Ice (Netflix)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

Need a break from the action and comedy series this season? The slice of life drama The Ramparts of Ice may be a good fit for you. The series follows Koyuki, a student who tends to scare people away even though she doesn’t mean to. Studio KAI, known for Sentenced to Be a Hero and Super Cub, is leading animation production on the series. In some ways, it’s reminiscent of shows like Komi Can’t Communicate, but this is a bit more serious and features some past trauma for its characters to unpack. It’s been a pleasant watch so far as Koyuki breaks out of her shell, and an easy suggestion for fans of the wholesome variety. The Ramparts of Ice is available now on Netflix.

Marriagetoxin (Crunchyroll)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

Speaking of romance, this fun new comedy series is about finding love in ridiculous ways. Marriagetoxin follows Gero, an assassin who comes from a family well known for using poison. To save his sister from familial pressures, Gero puts himself out in the dating world with the help of his former assassination target. The studio behind this one, Bones Film, is keeping busy this season with Daemons of the Shadow Realm also under their care this spring. With that said, the action really shines, especially for a series that’s about an assassin with supernatural powers trying to awkwardly talk to potential romantic partners. If you’re looking for another fun series this season, Marriagetoxin is available now on Crunchyroll.

Dorohedoro Season 2 (Crunchyroll, Netflix)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

The gruesome Dorohedoro finally returns this year with Season 2, and it’s been about six years since this quirky anime last graced our eyes. The series follows Caiman, a man with a lizard head who has lost his memories and is in search of the person who transformed him into the creature he is now. MAPPA, well known for Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, returns to lead animation production for Season 2. It’s just as gory and bizarre as I remember it, showcasing some bloody action on top of the eccentric characters and world of magic. It can be a lot to take in with its world-building, but it’s a fun and vibrant mystery with the likes of MAPPA to support it. Dorohedoro Season 2 is available now on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

One Piece: Elbaph Arc (Crunchyroll, Netflix)

ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==

Finally, the short hiatus of One Piece is over and we’re back into the highly anticipated Elbaph Arc. For those not familiar, Elbaph, the nation of giants, had one of its earliest mentions back around Episode 71 of the anime. The Straw Hat gang has met giants over the course of their adventures, but the time is finally here to make landfall on the legendary island now that the anime is at about 1160 episodes! It’s not easy to keep an audience engaged this long, but One Piece keeps the ball rolling and continues to hype up its fans. It truly feels like we’re getting closer and closer to what may be the end, so let’s enjoy the ride while we can. One Piece: Elbaph Arc is available now on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
