Summer season is rapidly approaching! It's time to start looking ahead to the next season and thinking about what is worth watching vs. what isn't. This is also the official thread where I will watch for shows that you mention and will enable threads for those shows to be made by our resident bot, @rikka@ani.social.

Link to a list of Summer 2026 shows for reference

Please feel free to use this thread as a normal weekly discussion thread as well! Anything that would normally be in the weekly discussion thread any other week is welcome here.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Stuff I'll likely continue from previous seasons:

~~Stuck in Meetings~~ Reincarnated as a Slime
Mushoku Tensei
Ascendance of a Bookworm
Re: Zero
Clevatess
Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman
Lord of Mysteries (probably just OAVs—ODVs?—rather than a full season)
Mao
Hell Mode
Drops of God (no idea why I'm still watching this, but I am)
Daemons of the Shadow Realm (if I catch up with it)

I'll probably hold off on Tanya the Evil and Skeleton Knight until I can re-watch the first seasons, since I recall little about the first and nothing about the second.

New shows whose descriptions caught my attention:

Jaadugar
Sparks of Tomorrow
World is Dancing
Though I Am an Inept Villainess
Black Torch
Victoria of Many Faces
Red River
Recommendation from Mr. Iwamoto
The Cat and the Dragon (actually, it's just the title that caught my eye on this one, since I haven't seen a description yet)
I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
Thunder 3 (I have no idea why and may not even get this far down the list)

If I have any space left in my schedule after all that, it'll probably be filled by random fantasy/isekai/villainess series. Possibly including Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects, because the source material is . . . okay. Not brilliant, but okay.

This season may end up . . . somewhat oversubscribed for me. 😅
