The changing of the fall leaves and disappearing of pumpkin spice always heralds a start of the snow and sleigh bells on high. Not to be forgotten though? Anime, and lots of it. This winter isn’t breaking with new years tradition, coming in hot (cold?) with over 50 new shows in some shape or form to look on in anticipation. Leading the pack comes the overwhelmingly awaited second season of elven fantasy Sousou no Frieren, followed up quickly by shounen sensation Jujutsu Kaisen’s third kick at the anime can and dramatic entertainment extravaganza Oshi no Ko round three. Not to be forgotten either is the proper airing of Type Moon’s Fate/strange Fake, finale season for Golden Kamuy, and the firefighting chaos of Enen no Shouboutai. Need a little more surprise in your Christmas stocking? Say hello to hard hitting drama Ikoku Nikki, the popcorn-first fantasy action Yuusha-kei ni Shosu, and the exceptionally cutesy romcom antics of Seihantai na Kimi to Boku. And if that wasn’t enough under the tree lies some fun with sci-fi thriller Darwin Jihen, the possessive fantasy suspense of Eris no Seihai, and the knuckledusting superhero carnage that is Boku no Hero Academia Illegals.
The days may be short and the weather exceptionally cold, but anime is always around to keep us warm and content. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2026 Preview!
