Three massive isekai anime titles will air in summer 2026

Isekai remains popular as a sub-genre of fantasy fiction for a good reason. These stories, in which one or more characters get transported into a new world, offer a blank slate with limitless possibilities. What’s more, the theme of reincarnation brings with it unprecedented freedom, allowing characters to forge new identities and access unexplored facets of their own personality. 2026 is already shaping up to be promising for the isekai genre, with three major genre titles to look forward to this year.
