Thumbnail is which anime?
GATE, tanya and skeleton knight LETS FUCKING GO!
Tanya is back!!!
Who wrote the script most of it’s wrong
I waited so long for death march. And I was losing hope.
Let's GOOOOOO all of these are gonna be amazing!
Re-Monster: Didn't the "Ordinary Guy" talk calmly about how he was quite a Monster, some Vampire, himself, before he got reborn as a Goblin?
New GATE-Season: Err, no Word on what was described about it, playing a lot on Sea/the Ocean? Did that change?
Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2: "Ordinary Sword"? Sensei is anything BUT an ordinary Sword! And we get a whole lot more about the cute Black Catgirl, probably also enjoying Curry and possibly even more Stuff, he cooks, while we're also getting her beating the living Shit out of some Evil Characters! Fran hopefully archieves her Evolution at some Point, but even then, her Journey will continue, to help the Black Cats, getting Recognized again and end the Racism!
And I hope we see her using that Black-Cat-slaugthering Blue-Cat Remains, as Bait for a Monster or to intimidate another Foe!
Death March to Another World Rhapsody Season 2: I can't wait for the MC to return, and have some more wholesome Moments, with his "Family". The Cute Dog-Girl and Cat-Girl deserve some Happiness and the Lizard-Girl could possibly bevome his Love, but they all should in the first place, become a happy Family!
Skeletton Knight in another World Season 2: NO WORDS about him travelling to the Dragons Springs, in order to potentially loose his Curse? Nothing about him travelling to the Village of the Animal Eared Ninja-Clan?
All in all, most of these Descriptions are basically EMPTY, without any Substance to them, that feel like some Chat-GPT-Prompt, only mixing in some small Details like Names.
But at least, this Video is a List of upcoming Continuations, while the Descriptions of the entries feel as hollow as an emptied Soda-Can!
2026 is looking FANTASTIC🤌
I just hope the studios will not make half assed anime quality
Pleasantly surprised about both Gate and Death March coming back. I thought those two were just done. I liked the novel for death march, and Gate was an interesting concept.
7/10 for me
Wait waaaaat gate is getting a new season!!!!!
Now give me no game no life!!!
You're forgetting farming life in another world
I thought we'd never see a GATE season 2!
Btw thank you for showing where to stream the shows
Black summoner and Skeleton in another world season 2. Then Mukusho Tensei season 3. Next time going to be lit as fck.
can't tell who made the predictions for Worlds finest assassin but based on LN progression that's WAY the heck off. He goes to school and meets the actual fated archnemesis (Hero), whereas he just fought the fake one, as the finale of anime states. At least mention something (incoming) right!
And reincarnated as a sword won't likely see a release on crunchyroll…video is inaccurate there too. I would guess it states crunchyroll for all 10 titles here? fyi; Chained soldier isn't an isekai (but at least video didn't get the streamer wrong here)
I really, really want a season of Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash and Fluffy Paradise animes!!!! I want a season 2 of Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash!! Parallel world pharmacy season 2, Water magician season 2, I Shall Survive Using Potions season 2, Suicide Squad Isekai season 2, My Isekai Life season 2, and Arata the Legend season 2 animes!!!!!
Yes! Finally getting death march season 2! Been waiting so long for this.
Wow I thought skeleton knight had been canceled after hearing the studio was having financial problems.
Tanya the tiny evil ,Reincarnated as sword, skeleton knight in another three anime’s I’ve been waiting to get their next season come out next year let’s go
L list no mushoku tensei literally the peak of isekai
Looks like Re Zero is not as popular as I thought.
I dropped re:monster. Showed promise but it seemed a little too rapey
i thought gate season 2 was already completed years ago
Still no grimgar … maybe one day.
The problem with a lot of Isekai is they can’t continue a story. Most are fun for the first 3 manga books, then you get bored because the writer has no plot except making the battle bigger and bigger each time. Skeleton Knight for example. The manga is not even halfway thru the story and we have continent destroying battles. So in the effort to one up the last battle with each new one…. The only conclusion you can have a universe destroying battle. Boring. My wife doesn’t know this so she is excited but this is a “no thanks” for me
We're eating good next year !
