Brazilian anime fans have plenty of reasons to celebrate in 2026, as the year promises an impressive lineup of releases and continuations of major hits. **Jujutsu Kaisen** leads the list of the most anticipated with its third season, while **One Piece** prepares the long-awaited Elbaph Arc and **JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure** premieres its sixth season. These productions reach the audience primarily through the Crunchyroll and Netflix platforms, with premieres distributed throughout the year, starting as early as January. The relevance is huge, as many of these series have massive fanbases in Brazil, solidifying anime as one of the most popular entertainment genres in the country.
The phenomenon is driven by consecutive seasons of hits like *Hell’s Paradise* and *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End*, which return with new stories. Furthermore, awaited endings, such as those of *BEASTARS* and *Golden Kamuy*, promise to close narrative arcs in an epic fashion. Thus, 2026 shapes up to be a year full of high-quality content for otakus, with options ranging from intense supernatural battles to emotional dramas and mysterious investigations in the world of entertainment.

On the other hand, fans of unique narratives eagerly await **Steel Ball Run**, the sixth part of *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure*. With an exclusive premiere on Netflix in March, the season will take the franchise’s famous eccentricity to the American Old West of the 1890s. We cannot forget **Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End**, winner of the Best TV Series award at TAAF 2025, which returns with its contemplative and emotional journey in search of the legendary land of Aureole.
Other important highlights include the continuation of the hit *Oshi no Ko*, which delves deeper into the mystery of Ai Hoshino’s murder, and the second season of *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes*, which explores a darker and more illegal side of the world of heroes.
