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!

Link to a list of Spring 2026 shows for reference

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).

manga readers hyping it up similar to Frieren. I've heard lots of buzz for the show and it looks pretty nice.

I think the similarities is fantasy setting and we following a witch but that's pretty much it.

WHA is immediately darker in tones from the get go. Also, pretty interesting magic system.

I personally curious whether or not they would/could adapt the crazy panel and line work arts the author somehow has time to draw each chapter.
