10 Best Anime to Binge on Crunchyroll in November 2026

The Fall 2026 anime season kicked off last month, and all major platforms, especially Crunchyroll, have released exciting new shows for fans across the globe. Crunchyroll by far had the biggest anime lineup for the season, just like every other quarter, with new weekly releases to keep fans busy for the rest of the year. As the largest streaming platform for anime fans across the world, it always releases almost all of the new seasonal shows and even movies. There’s no denying that the sequel seasons of The Apothecary Diaries and Black Clover grabbed most of the spotlight this quarter.

However, since the latest season’s anime were released only released last month, there aren’t enough episodes for fans to binge. New series within the seasonal lineup broadcast weekly episodes on Japanese TV networks, after which Crunchyroll adds them to its library for fans across the globe. Not to mention that keeping up with weekly episodes isn’t ideal for those who prefer binge-watching, especially during the weekends when fans just need a break after a long week. If you’re looking for new anime shows to watch this month that have already released full seasons, then this list is perfect for you.

10) Release that Witch

Release that Witch is technically a donghua, a term used to describe Chinese animation series, which has been on the rise for the past few years, and a lot of the notable series end up on Crunchyroll. Among the donghua on the platform, this isekai series is one of the most underrated ones, but it’s worth a watch for every adventure fantasy fan. One of the reasons why this exceptional series stands out is that it maintains a serious, grounded tone and skips out on cheap gags or exaggerated anime reactions. The story centers around a modern engineer who transmigrates into a prince named Ronald Wimbledon and relies on logic and science instead of possessing some overpowered ability. Additionally, this series also steers away from the stereotypical portrayal of witches in fiction as women ostracized from everyone else. Instead, it features how they are integrated into society as they use their powers for construction and engineering.

9) Yuri!!! on Ice

While the prequel film was cancelled in April 2024, it did nothing to reduce the massive global fan base of MAPPA’s original anime Yuri!!! on Ice has created over the decade. 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the anime, and while MAPPA had several surprises planned for fans, especially in Japan, nothing was related to the anime’s continuation. Although the anime may never return with a new season or a film, the story ends on a fairly satisfying note, as it barely leaves behind any loose threads. Even if you’re already a fan, it’s a perfect time to jog your memory as you rewatch this all-time classic. This fan-favorite sports drama centers around Yuri Katsuki, a figure skater who returns to Japan after a crushing defeat at the Grand Prix Finale. However, just when he’s decided to give up on his career as a figure skater, Victor Nikiforov, a five-time world champion, offers to become his coach after watching Yuri’s viral video. The story continues as he eagerly accepts the offer from his idol and prepares himself for the fierce competition so he can take the gold medal home.

8) Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100 is considered one of the best Shonen series of all time, thanks to the exceptional story, stunning animation, fight choreography, and most of all, a satisfying ending. The anime wraps up this captivating story within three seasons, giving fans everything they could ask for in a Shonen anime. Based on ONE’s award-winning manga, the same author as One-Punch Man, the story centers around Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob, an eighth-grade student. In order to keep his destructive psychic abilities hidden from the world and hone his abilities, he begins working under Arataka Reigen, a scam artist who wants to make use of Mob’s terrifying abilities. Just like Arataka wanted, Mob fights evil spirits for him while using his powers under the guise of training. However, the troubles surrounding him never cease to exist. The anime is commemorating its 10th anniversary this year, making it the perfect time to binge this beloved show.

7) Black Clover

After making fans wait for five years, Black Clover returned with the anticipated second season last month. While the manga has already reached its conclusion this year, the anime sequel continues the fan-favorite Spade Kingdom Raid Arc. The first season was released in a long-running format, which is why it caught up to the manga in the initial phase of the best arc of the series. The anime returned in a seasonal format with better animation than ever. The story takes place in a world where magic is everything. Asta, a boy without a drop of mana, grew up in an orphanage in a small village and spent his childhood dreaming of becoming the Wizard King, a title granted only to the most powerful mage in the kingdom. Unlike him, Yuno, who was raised in the same orphanage, is considered a rare prodigy even among the high-ranking nobles. Despite the difference in their abilities, the boys set their sights on becoming the Wizard King, an esteemed title granted to the strongest Magic Knight in the Clover Kingdom.

6) Samurai Champloo

Directed by the legendary Shinichirō Watanabe, this 2000s classic was way ahead of its time. Whether it’s the animation style or the hip-hop soundtrack in the Edo-themed setting, the series stood out in every possible way. Even more than two decades after its premiere, this beloved anime is still considered one of the greatest historical action series of all time. However, the anime wasn’t an overnight mainstream juggernaut upon its release, but instead gained a wide global fan base over the years, and it’s something everyone should watch regardless of whether they’re an anime fan or not. The anime is based on a short manga series by Masaru Gotsubo. Even though some of the episodes are fillers, these original scenes only add more depth to the main trio who embark on a journey to find a Samurai who smells of sunflowers. The anime is episodic in nature, where each episode feels like an adventure as they build character depth and continue the central quest to find the mysterious samurai who smells like flowers.

5) Dr. Stone

2026 was a bittersweet year for Dr. Stone fans since the anime finally reached its conclusion several years after its debut. Even among post-apocalyptic series, Dr. Stone stands out for having a unique setting and premise. The anime is based on the award-winning Shonen Jump manga written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Boichi. It’s one of those series that you just can’t find a replacement for thanks to the exceptional setting that’s not found anywhere else. The story takes place 3700 years after a bizarre event that petrified all of humanity, where everything humanity built over time had been destroyed. Senku Ishigami, a genius high school student and a scientist, wakes up from his slumber and embarks on a mission to rebuild civilization. Not long after the finale, the anime confirmed a sequel to adapt the three-chapter-long manga epilogue that follows Senku and the others after they saved humanity.

4) Natsume’s Book of Friends

With the winter season approaching us, it’s the perfect time of the year to binge this underrated masterpiece. The story takes place in a countryside filled with lush forests, old shrines, and dusty roads at sunset, which seems like the perfect escape from the everyday hectic life. The anime explores bittersweet themes of making peace with your past and forming new bonds while also focusing on trauma, loneliness, and grief. As a supernatural fantasy centring on Yokai, it doesn’t focus on horror but offers heartwarming encounters with these yokai and their stories. The series is episodic in nature, where each episode centers around Tatsuki Natsume and his Yokai companion who encounter new allies and enemies along the way. The anime is based on an ongoing manga by Yuki Midorikawa, and it has released seven seasons so far. While there have been no updates on Season 8 so far, all the available seasons are enough to keep you entertained for a few days.

3) Witch Hat Atelier

This critically acclaimed fantasy anime has only aired its first season, and it’s already considered one of the biggest hits in recent years. Thanks to the striking visuals by the animation studio and the unique fantasy setting, the anime will draw you in right away. The anime is based on an award-winning manga written and illustrated by Kamone Shirahama, which has been serialized in Kodansha’s seinen magazine Morning Two for a decade. The stunning visuals do justice to the manga’s intricate art style, even though adapting a series with such a unique style into another medium is always complicated. Since the manga is longer and more detailed, the anime had to make a few changes, including removing certain scenes to fit into the episodes, but the adaptation has been nothing short of extraordinary. However, it’s not just the animation and the visuals, but the story itself is intriguing enough to keep fans immersed in Coco’s journey as she uncovers the truth about the world of magic.

2) Journal the Witch

This is by far the most underrated anime of the year, and unlike what the title suggests, Journal the Witch is not a supernatural fantasy. The witch in the title is a metaphor for the main characters’ perceived differences from social norms, instead of an actual magical power. Although the anime is critically acclaimed, it hasn’t been renewed for a second season because of its low popularity. The manga has more than enough material to begin production, but there’s no guarantee that fans will ever get to watch the sequel season. Even so, the first season is more than worth it as it centers around a 35-year-old novelist, Makio Kodai, who takes in her 15-year-old niece after the girl’s parents died in an accident. The story follows their journey as they learn to live with each other while figuring out what they must do in their lives. Journal the Witch stands out for portraying real-life struggles through the characters, making it all the more relatable as the main characters form an unbreakable bond.

1) Spy x Family

Almost a year after the third season’s finale, the anime not only confirmed a Season 4 but also a feature-length movie. Based on Tatsuya Endo’s beloved Shonen Jump+ manga, the anime has been releasing new seasons ever since its debut in 2022. Now that the sequel is confirmed to continue the journey of the Forger family, you can finally binge-watch all anime seasons on Crunchyroll. This fan-favorite anime blends spy action and the found family tropes into an epic journey of the unique Forger family. The series is episodic in nature as the story keeps progressing slowly towards the end goal while also focusing on the individual struggles of the characters. Not only that, but despite having a comedic appeal, the story stands out for its deep and complex undertones focusing on war, grief, human experimentation, among many other dark themes. The third season was by far the best part of the story as it brings Loid one step closer to completing Operation Strix, but the mission is turning out to be more difficult than even he can handle.
