The year 2026 is already approaching its halfway point, which is why we want to look ahead to the second half of the year with this ranking. Which anime sequels are fans most anticipating? We’ll tell you!
This is what the fans are waiting for
For this ranking, we evaluated the data from MyAnimeList as of May 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The decisive factor was how many users put the respective anime sequels on their “plan-to-watch” list.
Since some sequels do not yet have a specific start date, only titles whose release is guaranteed this year were included. However, postponements cannot be ruled out.
