Crunchyroll Releases 8 New Anime for Spring 2026 in Major Streaming Update

Last month, a fantastic lineup of Spring anime was announced, featuring popular sequels like The Beginning of the End Season 2, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Dorohedoro Season 2, and Dr. Stone Science Future Part 3, among others. Recently, this major anime streaming service added even more new shows to its Spring 2026 schedule.

With the recent premieres of shows like The Food Diary of Miss Maid, Agents of the Four Seasons, and more, Crunchyroll has announced when eight more new shows will begin streaming alongside their original Japanese release.

Crunchyroll is adding a lot of exciting new anime, including popular genres like sports, fantasy, sci-fi, and romance. This builds on an already strong lineup that many fans are calling one of the best Crunchyroll has offered in years. Here’s a list of the new titles:

New Isekai Anime ‘Ribdiculous Reincarnation’ Headlines Crunchyroll’s Spring 2026 Updated Release Schedule

  • Ace of the Diamond Act II – Season 2
  • Always a Catch!
  • Haibara’s Teenage New Game+
  • Killed Again, Mr. Detective
  • My Ribdiculous Reincarnation
  • Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home!
  • RILAKKUMA
  • The Classroom of a Black Cat And a Witch

I recently watched Ace of the Diamond, and it’s a really interesting story. It follows Eijun Sawamura, a gifted pitcher who earns a scholarship to Seido High, a famous baseball school. What sets Eijun apart isn’t just his skill, but his unusual pitching style – he can make the ball move in unpredictable ways, which really throws hitters off balance.

In the second season’s second act, Eijun and his team are getting ready for the spring invitational tournament, where they’ll face tough competition from several strong teams. The new episodes will start airing on April 5th.

Similar to shows like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, My Ridiculous Reincarnation is part of the isekai genre. The story follows a man who dies and is given the chance to be reborn as anything he wants by a goddess.

When he discovers he’ll have to wait 50,000 years to be reborn as his ideal self, he decides to try out many different lives in the meantime. The title is a playful hint at one of his strange transformations – he even becomes the rib of a hero! The show will begin airing on April 7th.

I’m so excited about Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! It’s based on a really fun manga by Watomura. The story centers around Rinko Nakama, a 24-year-old who’s a total anime fan like me. Things get interesting when, after a bit of an accident, her apartment walls end up connected to the apartments of her neighbors, Akito Satsuki and Haruma Usada. It’s a really unique setup!

Akito is attractive and kind, but Haruma is easily frustrated and doesn’t seem to appreciate Rinko’s passion for anime. The story centers around the three of them and how they become friends, even though they’re very different. The anime will premiere on April 7th.

The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch is a classic fantasy story that takes place at a school for magic. It begins when Spica Virgo, a teenage girl unable to use magic herself, encounters a black cat who can use magic, but is affected by a mysterious curse.

The cat and Spica make a deal: he’ll teach her magic if she helps him lift his curse. You can start watching the series on Crunchyroll starting April 12th.
