Crunchyroll’s Best Winter 2026 Anime Is Already Clear, And It’s Even Better Than Frieren

2025 was an amazing year for anime, with many incredible series reaching high levels of popularity, but it might fail in comparison to what’s coming in 2026. With the beginning of a new year, a new season of anime is upon the fans, and it seems that Winter 2026 is one of the most stacked phases for anime series in quite a long time. Quite clearly, big anime series are making a return. Fans know very well that My Hero Academia Vigilantes Season 2 has just started, and so is Fire Force’s final stretch. While these are exciting series, they’re far from being Winter 2026’s biggest releases that’s headed to Crunchyroll.
