Let’s be honest — anime fans have suffered. Some of our favorite series ended with cliffhangers. Others disappeared after one amazing season. And for years, we asked the same question: When is it coming back?
Now we have an answer.
2026 is the year of comebacks.
Studios are bringing back fan favorites we never thought we’d see again. Whether it’s long-awaited sequels, final seasons, or surprise specials, this year is packed with emotional returns and wild hype.
Here are the top anime coming back in 2026 — and why fans everywhere are losing their minds.
*1. Chainsaw Man Part 2 – A Bloodier, Deeper Ride
Denji’s back. And so is the madness. Chainsaw Man Part 2 brings in new characters like Asa Mitaka and the War Devil. The tone gets darker. The fights go harder. This isn’t just a follow-up — it’s a whole new level of chaos. Get ready for more heartbreak, more horror, and more chainsaw.
*2. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Grand Finale
It’s been a wild ride, but Bleach is finally reaching its end. The last part of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc drops in 2026. Expect massive fights, final Bankai reveals, and emotional goodbyes. For longtime fans, this isn’t just a season — it’s closure.
*3. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 – The Culling Game Begins
After Shibuya, you probably still haven’t recovered. Too bad. Jujutsu Kaisen returns with the Culling Game arc — a brutal, tournament-style battle royale filled with new sorcerers, new rules, and non-stop action. This season will hurt in the best way.
*4. Re:Zero Season 3 – Subaru’s Next Nightmare
It’s been a long wait, but Re:Zero is finally back. Subaru’s journey continues with more witches, more enemies, and harder decisions than ever. The new arc dives deeper into the magic and mystery of this deadly world — and no one is safe.
*5. One Punch Man Season 3 – Enter the Monster Association
Garou. The Monster Association. And Saitama, still bored but unbeatable. Season 3 delivers the biggest battles yet. The animation is top-tier, and the story gets darker, focusing on what it really means to be a hero — or a monster.
*6. Noragami Season 3 – The God of Calamity Returns
We waited. We rewatched. We begged. Now, Noragami Season 3 is here. Yato’s back, and this time we’re diving into his painful past, the world of gods, and what it really means to be forgotten. Fans of Yukine, Hiyori, and heartbreak — rejoice.
*7. Solo Leveling Season 2 – Monarch vs Monarch
Jinwoo returns stronger than ever. Solo Leveling Season 2 continues his rise as the Shadow Monarch. With new enemies, new worlds, and insane animation, this sequel is already one of the most anticipated shows of the year. Get ready for war.
*8. No Game No Life Season 2 – The Sibling Gods Return
You didn’t dream it — it’s real. No Game No Life is finally getting its second season in 2026. Sora and Shiro return to challenge more of Disboard’s gods, using nothing but their genius brains and unshakable bond. The hype is unreal.
*9. The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 – Trust No One
Naofumi is back in another dangerous arc. The fourth season explores betrayal, power shifts, and new threats that challenge everything he’s built. This isn’t just another quest. It’s survival — and not everyone’s going to make it.
*10. Mob Psycho 100 – Final Goodbye Special
Mob may have moved on, but we’re not done yet. A final special episode drops in 2026 — one last look at Mob, Reigen, and the world of psychic powers and real emotion. Expect to laugh, cry, and reflect. It’s the perfect farewell.
*11. Yona of the Dawn Season 2 – The Dragon Princess Rises Again
Yona returns in a long-overdue second season. With the dragons by her side, she continues her quest to reclaim her kingdom. The romance, the heartbreak, the action — it’s all back. And this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
*12. Deadman Wonderland Season 2 – Finally Finished
It left us hanging for over a decade. But in 2026, Deadman Wonderland returns with a second season that finally adapts the rest of the manga. Ganta, Shiro, and the twisted prison system all come back — and the ending is worth the wait.
About the Creator
Marvel Zombie
The last entry into our 2025 superhero projects catalogue is Marvel Zombies. This was a show that was anticipated by absolutely no one and it disappeared from the public consciousness as quickly as it was released. There was nothing special about the project that made it a must see, or a must remember. In fact if anything it's a must forget.
