| ⭐ | The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom | Jan. 11 | ✔ | Watch |
The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom: Inspired by the visual novel of the same name, this anime is a pretty by-the-book isekai romance. You can pretty much guess how it goes by reading the title. However, the game’s English translation is pretty poor, so I’m interested to see if this new iteration—and its new translation— catches on with Western audiences. They certainly haven’t changed the weird English names (I’m looking at you, Aquasteed.) Keep reading to get more insights for the 2026 new anime schedule.
Mondays on Crunchyroll
Wash It All Away: If you’re interested in an anime with the vibes of an ASMR short, Wash It All Away may be for you. It’s a story about an amnesiac woman who deals with the gaps in her memories by putting everything into her job as a laundress.

| ⭐ | Isekai Office Worker: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter | Jan. 6 | — | Watch |
| Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers | Jan. 6 | — | Watch |
The Case Book of Arne: While past seasons focused a lot on adapting manga and light novels, recent anime seasons seem to be leaning much more into adapting popular video games. The Case Book of Arne began as an RPG Maker game about a vampire kid solving spooky gothic mysteries. And now it’s a beautifully rendered anime—perfect for fans of The Case Study of Vanitas.

Tamon’s B-Side: Tamon’s B-Side puts a new spin on the idol anime genre. When Utage finally meets her favorite pop star, she discovers he’s his own worst anti. But seeing as she’s his new housekeeper, she’s going to have to reconcile this depressed, gloomy boy with the idol she loves. It’s still probably a better scenario than being sold off to One Direction.
