The Top 25 Most Anticipated Anime Sequels Launching in 2026 or Later


The year 2025 is coming to an end, which is why we want to take a look at the coming year 2026 (and beyond) with this ranking. Which anime sequels are fans looking forward to? We’ll tell you!

This is what the fans are waiting for

The data from MyAnimeList as of November 27, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. was used for this ranking. There we determined how many users had put the respective anime sequels on their “plan-to-watch” list.

Since some sequels do not yet have a fixed start date, we have also taken into account those titles that are not yet certain to be released next year. It is therefore possible that some sequels will appear (significantly) later.

Did your favorites make it onto the list? Can’t you understand a placement? Let us know in the comments!
