It’s been a long wait since Overlord (Japanese name: Ōbārōdo) Season 4 wrapped up in 2022, and fans are more eager than ever to see what happens next to Ainz Ooal Gown and the powerful guardians of Nazarick. The dark fantasy anime, originally based on the light novel series Overlord, has grown into a fan favorite thanks to its unique take on the isekai genre and its ever-deepening lore.

The hype surrounding Gokurakugai is steadily building, and fans are starting to wonder: Is an anime adaptation on the horizon? With a striking art style, gritty storytelling, and growing popularity, it seems like only a matter of time. Although there’s no official confirmation yet, signs point toward something big brewing behind the scenes.

It’s official. Ninja Kamui isn’t done slicing through the anime scene just yet. After shocking viewers with its gritty action and raw emotion last year, the series is returning for not one, but two new seasons. Yep - Season 2 and Season 3 are coming, and the next chapter is already titled Red Vendetta. The announcement dropped during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival this past June, and fans haven’t stopped buzzing since.

Coming this January, Tune In to the Midnight Heart (Mayonaka Hāto Chūn) is shaping up to be one of the most exciting new additions to the romcom anime scene.

With a bold main character, a colorful cast of heroines, and a charming premise centered on broadcasting and voice acting, it’s already building up serious hype among anime fans.

The highly anticipated Chained Soldier Season 2 is officially on its way and ready to dominate the Winter 2026 anime season.

New Saga (Japanese title: Tsuyokute Nyû Sâga) made a quiet but solid entry into the fantasy anime scene in 2025. With its 12-episode first season wrapped up on Crunchyroll, fans are now wondering - will there be a Season 2? The story left off at a pretty intense moment, and it’s only natural to want more. Here’s a breakdown of what’s going on with Season 2, a quick look back at what made Season 1 click (or not), and what could be coming next if the series returns.

After building a loyal fanbase throughout Spring 2025, From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman (Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru) is officially coming back with Season 2 in 2026. The announcement dropped just as the final episode of the first season aired in Japan. While the series started quietly, it picked up steam thanks to its heartfelt story and a protagonist that felt different from the usual fantasy anime lineup.

The silver-haired samurai is making his return, and this time, it’s going to be intense.

If you just finished Season 2 of I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability and you’re wondering, “Wait… that’s where they’re ending it?”, you’re not alone.

And now that it’s over - for now - fans are hungry for more.

The long-awaited return of Trigun is finally here - and it's arriving in full force.
