This new wave of Summer 2026 anime releases joins an already massive schedule with Crunchyroll, and there are a few you should check out in particular from this list alone.

Which New Summer 2026 Anime to Watch First

One Piece: Heroines is arguably the biggest marquee franchise of this newest wave of additions, but it’s going to go a different route than you would think. It’s being treated as a full spinoff anime about Nami, but it’s going to air in place of the main One Piece TV anime series. The main series will be taking this week off in order to showcase this special episode, and then it will be back to regular programming shortly after. But you should still check it out either way.

Then there are long awaited adaptations for classic manga releases such as Red River, which first made its debut in the early 1990s. Chie Shinohara’s classic fantasy series is finally going to get its official anime due 24 years after it first came to an end, so it’s a story that fans have been waiting quite a long time to see in action. But those are only a few of the major Crunchyroll releases you’ll want to see this July.
