Winter 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 Winter 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).

Odd season, there's a lot of popular sequels... for series I haven't watched. So for continuing series only one:

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2

And for new series I only have two in my list:

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord -> Isekai with city building aspects are my favorite type of "junk food", so I'll almost certainly enjoy this.
The Holy Grail of Eris -> Heard lots of good things about the manga for this one.

For once I'm not late with the current season (only series I haven't finished yet is the assassin isekai), so I might take some time to watch some series I'm backlogged. Witch from Mercury would be my biggest priority, been stalling that for a long time, maybe MHA Vigilantes S1 after that since the premise is interesting.

Nice picks. Make sure to watch the prologue for WfM!
