Crunchyroll Spring 2026 anime season highlights: school romance and second chances
“Haibara’s Teenage New Game+” from Studio Comet, arriving 2 April, follows Natsuki Haibara, who believes high school went badly. Natsuki suddenly returns to the first year, keeping memories from university life. With this knowledge, Natsuki targets a happier youth, joins popular classmates and approaches a long-time crush, yet discovers that real emotions resist simple resets, because “Restart.” is not enough.
Another everyday-life story, “Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home!” by Tatsunoko Production, streams from 7 April exclusively on Crunchyroll. Office worker Rinko, aged 24, hides an otaku hobby and values quiet evenings alone. That calm ends when a mysterious “hole” links Rinko’s flat with both neighbouring rooms, introducing one overly-sweet stranger and another man with violent behaviour, until Rinko blurts, “I… I think I know him!”.
Crunchyroll Spring 2026 anime season features fantasy twists and reincarnation comedy
Launching 1 April, TROYCA’s “Always a Catch!” centres on Maria “Mimi” Annovazzi, born into a famous ducal house and trained in martial arts. Maria loses heir status and receives a sudden order to secure prestige through marriage. After moving to a nearby kingdom, Maria is publicly rejected at graduation by a prince never met, raising fears of lifelong spinsterhood.
“My Ribdiculous Reincarnation”, produced by Qzil.la and S.o.K, lands on Crunchyroll as an exclusive from 7 April. The protagonist receives the power to reincarnate as anything at all. Instead of choosing safely, the character experiments with every strange option possible, turning each new life into a comic trial, as the series plays with isekai rules and constant self-inflicted chaos.
Crunchyroll Spring 2026 anime season adds Rilakkuma and magical classroom adventures
On 3 April, Production I.G returns viewers to the slow-paced life of RILAKKUMA. The laid-back bear drifts through gentle, low-stress scenes, presenting relaxed humour and calming visuals. The series focuses on small daily moments and simple pleasures, offering a soothing contrast to more dramatic shows in the Crunchyroll Spring 2026 anime season slate.
Closing this group on 12 April, LIDENFILMS introduces “The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch”. Spica Virgo hopes to enter a respected magic academy, but cannot cast any spells. A talking black cat appears, actually a strong mage trapped by a curse. The cat offers training if Spica helps break the spell, drawing Spica into secret lessons, hidden dangers and a wider magical world.
