Spring 2026 is here and the anime calendar is absolutely stacked so we're breaking it all down for you. We run through the most exciting titles of the new season, from the long-awaited Dorohedoro Season 2 and Witch Hat Atelier first-ever anime adaptation and the high-pressure debut of Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Then we pivot to the big news from the awards world: the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards has dropped its nominees for its landmark 10th anniversary ceremony, and the Anime of the Year race is absolutely stacked. Dan Da Dan Season 2, Gachiakuta, My Hero Academia Final Season, Takopi's Original Sin, The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, and The Summer Hikaru Died are all in the running and we've got strong opinions on who deserves it. On the film side, it's Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle vs. Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc, and honestly? We need to talk about it. Whether you're planning your watchlist or casting your votes before April 15 this episode is essential listening.
