3 Big Anime Premieres Coming in May 2026
May 2026 brings a powerful selection of anime premieres, combining new stories, video game adaptations, and the evolution of established franchises. Platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix continue to lead the global growth of the sector with highly anticipated releases. These are 3 of the month's most anticipated premieres. Karna the Guardian: Premiere and Plot of the New Anime On May 7, 2026, Karna the Guardian, an Indian series with Japanese collaboration, premieres worldwide, seeking to position itself as one of the new benchmarks in fantasy anime. The story introduces Karna, a seemingly normal young man whose life is disrupted by the release of the demon Kalimba, an ancient entity that begins to spread corruption across the planet. This starting point introduces a classic conflict between light and darkness, but with a modern approach focused on the protagonist's emotional development. When his mother is affected by this darkness, Karna awakens a hidden power that reveals his identity as the Balancer, a figure destined to restore the world's harmony. From that moment, the series explores his training, his internal doubts, and the weight of responsibility. The production, developed with YAY! Animation, Zomia, and Ascension, opts for a global narrative with dubs in several languages, including Spanish, which expands its international reach. Devil May Cry Season 2: Premiere, Story, and News The second season of Devil May Cry arrives on May 12, 2026, solidifying its place as one of the most outstanding video game adaptations in animated format. The series continues to follow Dante, the demon hunter, in a world where dark forces threaten to break the barrier between dimensions. In this new installment, the conflict intensifies with the presence of Vergil, his brother, which adds a deeper emotional dimension to the narrative. The confrontation between the two characters not only provides action but also a more complex exploration of their motivations, rivalry, and shared past. The production, led by Studio Mir and with the vision of Adi Shankar, maintains a high visual level and dynamic pacing. The original franchise, created by Hideki Kamiya in 2001, remains a benchmark in the genre, and this adaptation expands its universe with a more accessible narrative for new viewers without losing its essence. Pokémon Horizons: The Series: Wonder Voyage Arc, Premiere, and News May 22, 2026, marks the beginning of the "Wonder Voyage" arc within Pokémon Horizons, a series that has revitalized the franchise by introducing new protagonists and a more serialized narrative. This stage continues to develop the Pokémon universe with a more modern approach, without abandoning the classic elements that have defined the saga for decades. The presence of new characters and creatures maintains the interest of both veteran fans and new audiences. The recent preview highlights Ditto and a new protagonist, as well as including references to titles such as Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE, reinforcing the connection between the anime and the rest of the franchise. Directed by Saori Den and produced by OLM, the series has managed to establish itself internationally since its premiere in 2023, arriving on platforms such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix. May 2026 Anime: Premieres and News The May 2026 premieres reflect the diversity of current anime, with proposals covering different genres and audiences. From new stories to anticipated continuations, this month is positioned as one of the most outstanding of the year.

My Hero Academia Returns with Special Episode “...
The phenomenon of modern anime has its own distinct names, and one of the most prominent is My Hero Academia. Based on the manga by Kōhei Horikoshi, this universe of heroes and villains has made its mark on an entire generation since its premiere in 2016. Now, in 2026, the franchise returns with a special episode titled “More,” commemorating the anime’s tenth anniversary and expanding the story’s conclusion with a new perspective. How the anime that defined a generation was born “My Hero Academia” is a Japanese production developed by studio Bones, renowned for its visual and narrative quality. The direction is handled by Kenji Nagasaki, while the script has been adapted by Yousuke Kuroda from the original manga. The music, composed by Yūki Hayashi, enhances the emotional intensity of each narrative arc. With episodes lasting around 25 minutes, the series has maintained a constant balance between action, character development, and dramatic impact. The significance of the tenth anniversary The premiere of “More” coincides with ten years since the anime first aired on television in 2016. This anniversary reflects the global impact of the series, which has helped to solidify the rise of contemporary anime and expand its international community of followers. Additionally, this release is part of a broader celebration that includes special content and commemorative materials, reinforcing the franchise’s importance in current entertainment. An epilogue that expands the anime’s ending The episode “More” adapts chapter 431 of the manga, included in the final volume 42. It is an epilogue that sets the story years after the anime’s conclusion, showing a more mature stage for the protagonists. Characters like Izuku Midoriya appear in a different context, where the focus is no longer on constant battle, but on the consequences of their decisions and the legacy they have built as heroes. This approach allows for the resolution of secondary plotlines, adds emotional nuances, and offers a more complete vision of the fate of Class 1-A. When and where to watch the special episode “More”? The special episode will premiere on May 2, 2026, and will be available internationally on Crunchyroll. Its arrival after the anime's conclusion in December 2025 makes it key content for those looking to complete the narrative experience and access material not seen on television. Reception of the ending and expectations for “More” The anime's finale in December 2025 generated considerable discussion among fans. While many appreciated the emotional closure and the conclusion of the main arcs, others felt there were aspects left to explore, particularly regarding the future of the characters and their evolution as adult heroes. This mix of satisfaction and desire for more content has kept the conversation alive within the community. In this context, the episode “More” arrives with very high expectations. Fans hope this epilogue will not only provide additional information but also delve deeper into character relationships, the state of the world after the final events, and the true legacy of Class 1-A. Furthermore, there is interest in seeing how the maturity of key figures like Deku is portrayed and what role they play in this new stage. A conclusion that expands the series' legacy Far from being a mere addition, “More” acts as a narrative extension that enriches the universe of My Hero Academia. These types of special episodes allow for a deeper exploration of aspects that the main story couldn't develop in detail. Thus, the anime's return on its tenth anniversary not only celebrates its trajectory but also consolidates its legacy within the genre, offering fans a final, more complete and coherent look at its characters.

Anime Releases April 2026
The spring of 2026 features several anime series with officially confirmed premieres, available for fans in Spain through Crunchyroll and Netflix. This season includes fantasy, action, drama, and romance titles, each with its own narrative and character development. Below you will find the main premieres for April. The Ice Walls This is a Netflix production based on a Japanese manga that blends drama, romance, slice of life, and school elements. The story follows Koyuki Hikawa, a high school student who keeps her distance from everyone due to personal insecurities until new friendships change her routine and push her to confront her emotional barriers. The series will premiere on Netflix on April 2, 2026, with episodes added weekly. Unlike others this season, the total number of episodes has not been officially announced, but it will be integrated into Netflix Spain's catalog with subtitles and dubbing as episodes are released. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime – Season 4 It follows the story of Satoru Mikami, who after dying is reincarnated in another world as Rimuru Tempest, a slime with unique powers. In this season, Rimuru is focused on consolidating his nation, facing significant threats, and new conflicts with other races and nations. The fourth season will have an exceptionally extended format: it has been officially announced that it will span five cours (quarterly broadcast blocks), which is unusual for the franchise, indicating a much higher number of episodes than normal for a season, likely extending beyond 50 installments as the broadcast progresses. The first part of this season will premiere on April 3, 2026, broadcasting on Crunchyroll with Spanish subtitles and optional dubbing, and the remaining cours will be broadcast at later dates throughout the year. Daemons of the Shadow Realm An adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's manga, Daemons of the Shadow Realm sets us in a world where certain humans can control supernatural creatures called daemons. The story follows twin brothers who were separated at birth and must reunite and master their abilities to prevent the destruction of their world. The series is produced by the renowned studio Bones and combines elements of adventure, dark fantasy, and supernatural action. This anime season is scheduled to air as two consecutive cours, which could indicate around 24 episodes in total, although a definitive number has not yet been released. The premiere is confirmed for April 4, 2026, and Crunchyroll will offer the series with Spanish subtitles in Spain. Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World – Season 4 Re:ZERO is an isekai fantasy anime about a young man named Subaru Natsuki who is transported to an alternate world where he has the power to "return by death," forcing him to relive events and try to prevent tragedies. The fourth season is divided into two parts and will cover a total of 19 episodes: the first 11 make up the "Loss Arc" and are broadcast consecutively, and the following 8 correspond to the "Recapture Arc." This continuation adapts an important arc from the light novels, featuring action, drama, and revelations about the world and characters. The premiere is confirmed for April 8, 2026, and will be available on Crunchyroll with Spanish subtitles and possible dubbing, following the series' usual international simulcast.

The universe of Nanatsu no Taizai, created by Nakaba Suzuki, made the definitive leap into the interactive realm with The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, a video game developed by Netmarble. Unlike previous titles in the franchise, this game does not directly adapt the anime or manga, but instead presents an original story set in Britannia. The goal is to offer a broader experience, focused on exploration, dynamic combat, and its own narrative within the same universe. Launch and confirmed platforms The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin was released on March 16, 2026, on PC and PlayStation 5, while its mobile version (iOS and Android) arrives on March 23, completing its global launch after an official delay from the initial scheduled date in January. In Spain, it has been available digitally since day one, without regional restrictions, guaranteeing immediate access to players interested in the title. Gameplay and open-world combat system The game introduces an open-world action RPG system, allowing players to freely explore Britannia. Combat takes place in real-time, combining physical attacks, magical abilities, and character switching during battle. This system improves the gameplay depth compared to previous titles, integrating exploration and combat in the same environment without interruptions. Characters and protagonists of the game The protagonist of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is Tristan Liones, son of Meliodas and Elizabeth Liones. The game's story is set chronologically after the events narrated in the original manga of The Seven Deadly Sins and before the advanced development of The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, serving as a narrative bridge within the same universe. In addition to Tristan, the game incorporates iconic characters from the franchise such as Meliodas, Ban, King, and Diane, and even Escanor, along with new playable versions and variants. This combination allows for diverse team formations and the exploration of different strategies within the combat system. Story mode and original narrative approach The plot is based on an alteration of time and space that affects the world of Britannia. This phenomenon causes the appearance of characters from different eras, generating an unprecedented story within the franchise. The story mode unfolds through main missions integrated into exploration, avoiding a traditional linear structure. Game modes and online features In addition to the main campaign, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin incorporates additional content based on exploration, side activities, and online systems. The game includes multiplayer features that allow user interaction, either through cooperation in certain activities or through other connected systems. This approach extends the game's duration and differentiates it from other installments in the franchise, traditionally focused on more individual experiences. Technical section and graphic quality Technically, the game presents a significant leap compared to previous titles in the saga. It uses a visual style faithful to the anime with vast and detailed environments, representing Britannia as a continuous world. Animations, combat effects, and character design reflect a development oriented towards current standards. Initial reception and reactions after launch After its launch on March 16, 2026, on PC and PlayStation 5, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin has generated a positive initial reception from the community. Players especially highlight its open-world approach and the ambition of the project within The Seven Deadly Sins universe. Initial impressions also value the game's scale, freedom of exploration, and fidelity to the world created by Nakaba Suzuki. However, part of the community remains somewhat cautious regarding monetization systems and long-term development, a common aspect in titles of this type.

Hollywood and "Invisible Plagiarism": Films wit...
Japanese animated cinema, and anime itself, has exerted a profound and lasting influence on contemporary audiovisual storytelling. Works such as Princess Mononoke (1997), directed by Hayao Miyazaki, for example, redefined the environmental and anti-war message, establishing a unique visual, symbolic, and narrative language. Over time, several Hollywood productions have notably replicated some elements of anime, reusing narrative structures, images, and concepts without explicit acknowledgment. Thus, the reuse of ideas proposed by these oriental animations without such acknowledgment is known as "invisible plagiarism," and it manifests itself with particular force in several emblematic cases that continue to generate debate. This article analyzes two representative cases in which, for many, the parallels go beyond mere inspiration, demonstrating the depth of the influence of artists like Miyazaki and Tezuka on global animation. Snow White and the Huntsman vs. Princess Mononoke Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) was presented as a dark reinterpretation of the European fairy tale, but it shows clear parallels with Princess Mononoke. In both works, the forest is not a passive setting, but a living, conscious, and morally active entity. When Snow White enters alone, the trees and roots seem to react to her presence, just as in Mononoke, where the forest responds to armed humans through unnatural movements and oppressive lights, reinforcing narrative tension. The Kodama, small luminous creatures from Mononoke, find their parallel in the beings of light that accompany Snow White, indicating acceptance by nature and reinforcing the protagonist's spiritual connection with the environment. The scene in which Snow White is "blessed" by the forest reproduces almost shot by shot the sequence in which Princess Mononoke moves among deer under the Shishigami, reflecting a deep and symbolic interaction between character and ecosystem. The huntsman plays a similar role to Ashitaka, mediating between the human and natural worlds, visually reinforced by shots that show reflection and isolation. Nature's response to human corruption is presented almost identically: organic hostility to environmental imbalance, where the forest acts as a living organism that protects its balance, conveying an ecological and moral message that goes beyond traditional narrative. The Lion King vs. Kimba, the White Lion Kimba, the White Lion (Jungle Taitei), created by Osamu Tezuka in 1965, is one of the foundational works of modern anime. The series and its subsequent films feature a young lion who must assume leadership after his father's death, facing moral conflicts, internal betrayals, and the tension between tradition and human progress. The Lion King (1994) develops a surprisingly similar premise. Simba, like Kimba, is a cub destined to reign, marked by his father's death and forced into exile before returning to reclaim his place. Although Disney has repeatedly denied any direct influence, the coincidences go beyond the basic narrative scheme. There are widely documented visual parallels: scenes where the protagonist observes the kingdom from an elevated rock, the spiritual appearance of the father in the sky, the antagonist with dark features and a facial scar, and even almost identical shots of animals running across the savannah. In Kimba, these images appear decades earlier, with an already consolidated visual language. Symbolism also coincides. Both works present leadership as an ethical responsibility rather than an inherited right. The king is not one who dominates, but one who maintains the balance between species, a recurring concept in Tezuka's work and central to Simba's narrative arc. The controversy intensified in Japan, where the similarity was perceived as evident. There, Disney's lack of official recognition was interpreted as cultural appropriation, especially considering Tezuka's historical relevance as "the father of manga and anime." Coincidence or plagiarism? Had you noticed these parallels? What do you think? Coincidence or plagiarism? And if it was inspired, do you think it's appropriate to keep the original story that inspires the works hidden just because it's aimed at a different target audience, or would it deserve, at least, a mention?

Dragon Ball celebrates its 42nd anniversary: Th...
To talk about the anniversary of Dragon Ball is to talk about one of the fundamental pillars of anime and manga worldwide. Since its debut, the work created by Akira Toriyama not only revolutionized Japanese animation, but also defined the childhood and adolescence of millions of viewers in Spain and around the world. Each Dragon Ball anniversary becomes a collective celebration that recalls its cultural impact, its evolution, and the enduring relevance of a saga that continues to captivate new generations. The birth of a global phenomenon Dragon Ball originally premiered as a manga on January 10, 1984, in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, and its anime adaptation followed shortly after, consolidating a narrative style that would forever change the shōnen genre. The combination of martial arts, humor, adventure, and fantasy created a unique formula that immediately resonated with the audience. In Spain, the series achieved massive popularity during the 90s, becoming a true television phenomenon. Characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo became recognizable icons even outside the realm of anime, something reserved for very few Japanese franchises. Evolution of the saga over the years Over time, Dragon Ball expanded its universe with different stages that marked various generations. Dragon Ball began as an adventure series centered on an ingenuous, extraordinarily strong child of extraterrestrial origin who travels the world in search of the dragon balls. With a lighthearted tone that blended humor, martial arts, and fantasy, the story quickly captivated audiences and laid the groundwork for a constantly growing universe. Dragon Ball Z elevated the action and epic scale, introducing legendary battles and unforgettable villains like Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Later, Dragon Ball GT offered an alternative vision that, although divisive, expanded the series' imaginary. The arrival of Dragon Ball Super marked the definitive rebirth of the franchise in the modern era. New characters, transformations, and multiversal tournaments brought the saga back to the forefront of current anime, proving that its essence remains fully relevant. Dragon Ball in Spain: cultural and generational impact The Dragon Ball anniversary holds special significance in Spain, where the series is part of the collective imagination. Its broadcast marked a before and after in the way Japanese animation was consumed, paving the way for other great anime titles. Conventions, special events, screenings, and merchandising continue to celebrate Toriyama's legacy. Furthermore, new generations are discovering the series through streaming platforms, keeping the flame of interest and nostalgia alive. The legacy of Akira Toriyama Akira Toriyama not only created a successful story but also a visual and narrative language that influenced countless subsequent authors. His drawing style, his sense of humor, and his ability to balance action and emotion defined the DNA of modern shonen. The Dragon Ball anniversary is also a tribute to its creator, whose work transcended cultural and linguistic borders, becoming a universal benchmark for entertainment. This is not just a commemorative date, but confirmation that we are looking at an immortal work. Decades after its debut, the saga continues to generate conversation, emotion, and admiration around the world, and in Spain, its impact remains intact, reminding us that Dragon Ball is not just an anime, but a cultural phenomenon that will continue to accompany and unite future generations.

January 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for anime, with releases combining mature storytelling, deep emotions, and character development. Three returns stand out in particular: Hell’s Paradise Season 2, Oshi no Ko Season 3, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2. Each addresses distinct themes, from extreme survival and violence to fame, truth, and reflection on time, solidifying the winter season as a must-watch for anime fans. January 11 - Hell’s Paradise – Season 2 Gabimaru returns to the cursed island in search of the elixir of immortality. The series, produced by MAPPA, intensifies the violence and horror, pitting the protagonist against grotesque creatures and supernatural threats. The first season presented a brutal world where survival was a privilege, combining extreme action, Eastern philosophy, and reflections on life and death. In this second installment, Gabimaru not only fights for survival but also becomes entangled in a celestial conflict that threatens the natural balance of the island. The stylized animation and choreographed combat reinforce the tension, consolidating this return as one of the most anticipated of the year. January 14 - Oshi no Ko – Season 3 Ruby and B-Komachi face the price of fame and truth within the Japanese entertainment industry. The third season delves deeper into Ruby's obsession with uncovering the secrets surrounding Ai Hoshino and B-Komachi's full exposure as an idol. The series combines psychological drama, media manipulation, and loss of identity, showing how truth can be as destructive as lies. This season expands its focus to television, theater, and reality shows, highlighting the emotional cost of success and social pressure. Oshi no Ko confirms itself as a phenomenon by dismantling idol anime clichés and exploring the consequences of its characters' decisions. January 16 - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End – Season 2 Frieren resumes her journey to Ende with an introspective and melancholic approach. The second season delves into memory, loss, and the value of shared time, as the characters face more subtle but emotionally complex threats. Fern and Stark gain prominence, offering new perspectives and reinforcing the generational contrast. Madhouse's animation maintains its sobriety, with contemplative landscapes and the use of silence that accompanies the narrative without being overpowering. Frieren offers a reflective fantasy experience, where the unhurried pace highlights the maturity of the story and the internal development of the characters. Comparison of the three premieres: What do they have in common? Although they belong to different genres, Hell’s Paradise, Oshi no Ko, and Frieren represent the evolution of contemporary anime towards mature and emotionally demanding plots. Hell’s Paradise combines action and horror with dilemmas of life and death; Oshi no Ko examines fame, lies, and identity in the entertainment world; Frieren reflects on time, memory, and personal growth. All three series feature characters who face real consequences of their decisions, transcending superficial entertainment and consolidating winter anime as a profound experience. 2026 starts strong for Japanese animation fans January 2026 offers an outstanding start to the year for anime. (You can also find the list of must-watch anime premieres in January 2026 on Crunchyroll. The returns of Hell’s Paradise Season 2, Oshi no Ko Season 3, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 guarantee intense action, psychological drama, and reflective fantasy. Mature stories, complex characters, and emotional narratives elevate the winter season to a higher level, confirming that current anime is committed to quality, ambition, and emotional connection with viewers.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Anticipated return with Season ...
The anime that marked a generation The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the most anticipated anime premieres of 2026 and represents a turning point for the series. After two seasons that redefined the modern shōnen genre with intense combat, magic, and deep character development, this new installment kicks off globally on January 8, 2026, on Crunchyroll, taking fans to the heart of the Culling Game Arc. For millions of Japanese anime fans, this premiere is not just a continuation, but the expansion of a narrative universe that has influenced contemporary anime culture, with characters like Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Yuta Okkotsu at the epicenter of an increasingly dark and emotionally ambitious story. A journey through previous seasons The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen served to establish the rules of its universe and the central conflict of the series, introducing Yuji Itadori as a protagonist trapped between duty and personal damnation after becoming linked to the world of curses. From the beginning, the series stood out for its darker tone, direct pacing, and a staging that prioritized the emotional impact of the fights. As for the story, we see Itadori who, on impulse, ingests a part of the soul of an ancient curse, Sukuna, and although he is able to contain it, he is marked as a danger by those who rule the world of sorcerers. However, his death sentence is postponed thanks to the intervention of the one called the most powerful sorcerer, Gojo, who takes him under his care and joins him with Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, as one of his first-year apprentices. The second season expanded on the previous one and took the story to a much more extreme level, showing how the decisions made up to that point unleash an uncontrollable chaos. The events in Shibuya marked a before and after in the narrative, permanently altering the balance of the Jujutsu Kaisen world and the psychology of its characters. In these chapters, the story revolves around a curse that has taken over the body of Gojo's old friend, Geto, the antagonist of the first season. He has gathered a group of special curses to rebel with the aim of changing the human world as we know it, and he has managed to seal Gojo! Now his students find themselves needing to free him, even with the sorcery world against them, facing the increasingly blurred line between good and evil, right and wrong. These episodes solidified the series as one of the most influential in the genre, standing out for its high-quality animation, emotional narrative, and spectacular combat scenes. The combination of dark fantasy, personal drama, and strategic battles has been key to attracting both manga fans and new viewers. Expectations for the third season Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on January 8, 2026, on Crunchyroll with the beginning of the initial chapter of the Culling Game Arc, after Gojo is trapped and a brutal new conflict erupts between sorcerers and unleashed curses. This arc is widely considered by the anime community to be one of the most intense in the original manga, due to its narrative scale, the introduction of new key characters, and the complexity of the battles. In addition, it is speculated that the season will be divided into two parts, maintaining the weekly episode pace that has been a hallmark of the series. Fans expect MAPPA's animation, the studio behind the series, to maintain its reputation for visual quality and fluidity in fight scenes, as well as a greater emphasis on the internal conflicts of characters like Yuji, Megumi, and Yuta, whose evolution has been fundamental to the anime's success. New narrative elements and characters The Culling Game Arc promises to introduce narrative heights never before seen in Jujutsu Kaisen, with confrontations that can change the balance of this anime's universe. In addition to the usual protagonists, this season will expand the cast with figures who, until now, had only appeared in the manga, generating great expectations among the global anime fan community. The official previews released have shown more polished animation, a darker tone, and conflicts that explore not only physical struggle but deep ethical and psychological issues, aspects that many fans eagerly await. Cultural influence and community reaction Anticipation on social networks and specialized forums shows that this premiere is one of the most talked about among shōnen anime fans. Debates about theories, plot predictions, and possible twists have dominated platforms like Reddit and specialized networks, underscoring Jujutsu Kaisen's influence as a cultural phenomenon within anime entertainment. The arrival of season 3 also revitalizes interest in the franchise as a whole, increasing consumption of previous seasons, the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, and official merchandise in specialized stores. A decisive new stage for a landmark anime The premiere of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 marks an important milestone for contemporary anime. With a solid global fanbase, broad anticipation for the Culling Game Arc, and the narrative momentum this continuation offers, this new installment promises not only to meet expectations but to further raise the genre's standard. With a combination of action, drama, character evolution, and high-quality animation, this season is shaping up to be one of the most outstanding anime premieres of 2026, further consolidating the legacy of one of the most influential series of the last decade.
