2025 was a blast for anime fans as we got Sakamoto Days, Dandadan S2, and Solo Leveling S2. So, the expectations for 2026 are really high as fans look towards more exciting anime releases.
But with so many new anime titles scheduled in 2026, anyone can miss the hidden gems! Also, not all anime titles are created equal, and we know already that not every release will live up to the hype.
That’s why we have covered highly anticipated anime sequels you shouldn’t miss. Also, all of the sequels covered in our list will be available on Crunchyroll. So, if you are having a hard time filling up your anime calendar, our list is all you need:
Black Clover Season 2
The S1 of Black Clover ended in 2018, making it more than 7 years of waiting for the fans! Also, the S1 ended with a cliffhanger as the magic knights were fighting against the Spade Kingdom.
We don’t know the exact release date, but Black Clover is surely coming back in 2026. The new season will cover the “Spade Kingdom arc,” which many classify as the best arc of the entire series.
And just to be ready, it is a good idea to get yourself a Crunchyroll premium account from U7BUY. This will allow you to watch both new and already aired anime titles at blazing fast speed with no ads.
In fact, there is a good chance that season two might be the last season of the anime… After all, the Spade Kingdom is the 2nd last arc of the manga. So, who knows, we might also get to watch the last arc in S2.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
The JJK’s s2 was brutal as a lot of key characters died, and Gojo was also captured. Now, the 3rd season of Jujutsu Kaisen will cover Itadori’s Extermination arc and then the Perfect Preparation Arcs. After that, the season will cover the Culling Game Arc as well.
There’s no doubt the last season had a lot of twists, and a lot of destruction was left as the aftermath of the battle. And be ready, as we also learn the real motive of the Kenjaku.
Who’s Kenjaku? He is the parasitic brain guy who is also the mastermind behind the whole Culling Game. And the Culling game is the battle royale between the sorcerers.
The JJK S3 will be available on Crunchyroll just like seasons 1 and 2. So, stay tuned as the battle royale arc is finally coming in 2026.
Fire Force Season 3 Part 2
The first part of the Fire Force S3 aired in 2025… Now, part 2 is coming in the Winter 2026. As per the details, Part 2 will finally conclude the series (This makes it even more important for the fans).
The story of this shonen anime follows the Special Fire Force Company 8 and Shinra Kusakabe. The group is on a mission to uncover why people turn into infernals.
So if you are seeking answers to all the mysteries, then make sure not to miss this sequel! Also, the S3 (part 2) will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
A key benefit of Crunchyroll is that it is a legal streaming site with no crazy ads. So, if you don’t like the constant buffering of free anime sites and all the ads that come with it, then Crunchyroll is the only option for watching Fire Force.
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2
The final season of the MHA already showed us the fate of All For One, but the fans can continue to enjoy the MHA universe via this prequel spin-off series.
The spinoff takes place around 5 years before the events we saw in the main anime series. It showcases a group of vigilantes as they try to maintain peace even though they have no official hero licenses.
In Season two, we will see new vigilantes and some new villains… So, you can also expect some serious fights as the vigilantes uncover crimes carried out by the main villain.
The S1 of this spinoff series is already available on Crunchyroll, while the S2 will be available once it is released in 2026.
Hell’s Paradise Season 2
The next name on Crunchyroll’s lineup of sequels is Season 2 of Hell Paradise. It i’s a shonen anime and will be making a comeback after 3 years of waiting.
The story of this anime follows Gabimaru and a group of other criminals on a mysterious island. The group’s goal is to find the elixir of life without being killed by the Tensen.
Not only is the island itself mysterious and scary, but the inhabitants are also very deadly. So, if you have watched the S1 on Crunchyroll, then stay ready as S2 will continue the story of Gabimaru.
As per the details, season two will adopt the Hōrai arc from the manga and will cover 51 chapters. This means the fans will also get to know more about the origin of Tensen and the true nature of the island.
