Upcoming Anime Releases Scheduled for 2025-2026 Period
=================================================================================
With Comic-Con 2025 behind us, the anime community is buzzing with excitement about the upcoming releases. Here's a roundup of some of the most highly anticipated shows, their current status, and what we know so far.
"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" made an unforgettable splash at Comic-Con 2025, but as of now, no confirmed release date has been announced for the next instalment, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle." This movie is expected to conclude the epic Demon Slayer storyline and will be available in US theaters.
"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" Season 2, on the other hand, has a confirmed release date. The highly-rated anime series is set to premiere in January 2026, likely in the first or second week of the month. This makes it the only anime show with a confirmed release date in the specified timeframe.
"Black Clover - Season two" is finally on the way, after over five years of no new news. With over 100 episodes in season one, the series boasts a dedicated fanbase, although reviews for the second season have been mixed.
Other anticipated shows include "Oshi no Ko - Season three," "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World - Season four," "Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part four," and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising." As of now, no confirmed release dates have been announced for these shows.
"Oshi no Ko - Season three" promises a shift from light-hearted idol Anime to a darker, more suspenseful murder mystery. "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World - Season four" is a popular Isekai genre anime with an uncertain direction for season four. "Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part four" is the final season of the long-running "Bleach" series, and part four could be the final part. "Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising" is the conclusion of the series and is expected to go directly to streaming services.
"Outlander" and "Blood of My Blood" also had panels at SDCC, with the cast returning to discuss the last season of the show. However, no significant new details were revealed about the upcoming season of "Outlander," and Droughtlander will continue until 2026 for "Outlander." YouTube links are provided for the SDCC panels of "Outlander" and "Blood of My Blood."
It's exciting to see so many anime shows announcing new seasons for the second half of 2025. "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World - Season four" is particularly noteworthy, as it is credited with popularising the Isekai genre.
