Japanese anime series release schedule

Overview

In late September 2026, announcements were made regarding upcoming seasons for several anime series. The series ‘Tougen Anki’ was scheduled to return for its second season, the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc, produced by Studio Hibari and directed by Ato Nonaka. This season is expected to be split into two parts, with the second part scheduled for April 2027. New voice cast members include Kenichi Suzumura, Yuki Kaji, and Kisho Taniyama, with Hiromitsu Kitayama performing the opening theme, ‘BACKLASH’. Additionally, ‘The Cat and the Dragon’ confirmed a second season for release in 2027, produced by studio OLM and distributed by Crunchyroll.

By early October 2026, several series premiered. ‘Tougen Anki: Nikko/Kegon Falls Arc’ debuted on Nippon TV, while ‘Temperally’ began broadcasting on TOKYO MX and BS11 on October 2. On October 4, NHK E-Tele premiered the second season of ‘Aosashi,’ and TBS began broadcasting the second season of ‘Aono Hako.’

‘Tokyo Revengers’ saw significant activity during this period. The ‘Three-Way War Arc’ began broadcasting on October 2 via MBS, TBS, and other networks. To coincide with the release, Seven-Eleven Japan offered 70 types of original bromide prints through multi-copy machines starting October 3. As the season progressed, episode 52, ‘Staying Behind in Time,’ aired on October 13, followed by episode 53, ‘Crack a smile,’ on October 16. In episode 53, Takemichi discovers Mikey is leading Bonten, a criminal organization described as operating with “greater brutality than the former Tokyo Manji Gang.” On October 23, 2026, episode 54, titled ‘Give me a hand,’ was released on Disney+. This installment follows Takemichi accessing a video recording left by Mikey inside a time capsule, which is expected to reveal the motivations behind Mikey’s transformation.
