Crunchyroll April 2026 is the biggest spring anime season in years. The Spring 2026 slate drops a wave of sequels, prestige adaptations, and returning heavy hitters, and if you can only subscribe to one anime streamer right now, Crunchyroll is still the one with the deepest simulcast library.
The headliner is Dorohedoro Season 2, finally back after six years. MAPPA’s brutal, gory, cyberpunk-adjacent fever dream returns April 1 and picks up with Caiman hunting magic users in the Hole. If you watched Season 1 when it dropped in 2020, this is the payoff.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm premieres April 4 from studio Bones, adapting the latest manga from Fullmetal Alchemist creator Hiromu Arakawa. This is the marquee new IP of the season. Witch Hat Atelier arrives April 6 from BUG FILMS and Studio TMS, a two-year-delayed adaptation that is being called the next ‘Frieren’-shaped hole filler. Liar Game also premieres April 6 from Madhouse, pitching itself as Squid Game with less killing and more psychological warfare.
One Piece returns April 5 to kick off the Elbaf Arc. This is also the anime’s switch to a seasonal format with 26-episode blocks, which means tighter pacing and fewer filler breaks. For isekai fans, Re: Zero Season 4 premieres April 8 with the 11-episode Loss Arc. The Drops of God anime arrives April 10. And if you missed the BL discourse in March, Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! dropped April 1 as the spring season’s breakout romance pick.

The Crunchyroll April 2026 Bottom Line
If you chase one anime on Crunchyroll in April 2026, make it Witch Hat Atelier. The fantasy slot has been empty since Frieren and the Bones adaptation of Daemons of the Shadow Realm is right behind it. Dorohedoro Season 2 is the hardcore reward for anyone who rode out the six-year wait. Lastly, One Piece (Elbaf) is the arc that gets casuals back into the show.
