June is the transition month. Spring 2026 anime — One Piece Elbaph, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family Season 3 — is in its final weeks. The summer season announcement wave is landing. Bleach TYBW Part 4 is confirmed for July and is the most anticipated anime event of the summer. But you have a full month to fill before then.
Still Running: Spring Season Picks Worth Staying With
One Piece
Elbaph arc is running and landing. This is the arc fans have been waiting years for — the Giants, Elbaf, and a Shanks confrontation built since chapter one. Weekly on Crunchyroll.
Crunchyroll
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Ufotable's production quality has not dropped. The spring 2026 arc continues with the visual standard Demon Slayer set in 2019 and never abandoned.
Crunchyroll
Jujutsu Kaisen
MAPPA is still at the helm. Post-Shibuya arc content continues with fight animation that remains the benchmark for action anime in 2026.
Crunchyroll
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
Part 4 confirmed for July 2026. If you're not caught up on TYBW, June is your window. Parts 1-3 are on Hulu and Disney+. The Ichigo finale is an event.
Crunchyroll
Spy x Family
Season 3 of the Forger family spy comedy is running through June. Loid, Yor, and Anya are the season's most reliable comfort watch.
Crunchyroll
Attack on Titan
The complete series is streaming. The Final Season Part 3 is one of the best anime finales ever made. June is the month to finish it if you haven't.

Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga's two seasons on Netflix are the June catch-up pick before summer anime season starts. Thorfinn's arc is one of the best in the medium.
