Now that January has passed, the Winter 2026 anime season is in full swing! Popular series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Hell’s Paradise, and Fire Force continued with new seasons. We also saw the premieres of several new shows, including the highly anticipated You and I Are Polar Opposites from Shonen Jump, and the action-packed fantasy series Sentenced to Be a Hero. With February here, most of the season’s new episodes have already been released, and Crunchyroll is streaming a wide variety of them.
If you prefer watching all episodes at once instead of weekly, the new show releases might not be for you. Luckily, February is here with plenty of anime to binge-watch! We’ve put together a list of 10 series that will keep you entertained all month long.
10) Gintama
The anime series is based on the popular manga WSJ by Hideaki Sorachi and has been released across multiple seasons and movies. It’s set in a reimagined version of Edo-era Japan that’s been taken over by aliens called the Amanto, effectively ending the age of the samurai. The story follows Gintoki Sakata, a former samurai who now scrapes by doing odd jobs, always with his wooden sword by his side.
Gintoki, along with his friends Shinpachi, a samurai’s son, and Kagura, an alien from the Yato tribe, plus her adorable pet Sadaharu, constantly finds himself caught up in chaotic situations, no matter the job he attempts.
9) Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War
This anime is based on a popular manga and centers around Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya, the student council president and vice-president of Shuchiin Academy. Everyone at school thinks they’re the perfect couple because they both excel academically, but beneath the surface, they’re actually competing to see who will confess their feelings first.
Despite being attracted to each other, they’re both too proud to make a move. The story shows their playful attempts to get the other person to confess their feelings and essentially ‘win’ at love.
8) The Apothecary Diaries
Recently, The Apothecary Diaries has become incredibly popular due to its captivating mysteries. The story follows Maomao, a brilliant apothecary who understands both medicine and poisons, and has a talent for unraveling secrets. After being kidnapped, she’s sold to the Imperial Palace and must work as a servant for three years.
She attempted to remain unnoticed, but Jinshi, a powerful eunuch, repeatedly asked for her assistance with his work.
7) My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
This official spin-off series, created by Hideyuki and illustrated by Court Betten, is back for a second season. It’s set five years before the original story and explores how crime increases in a world filled with superpowered individuals. Even though heroes are constantly working to protect people, danger still hides in the shadows and backstreets of the city.
Vigilantes often step in to stop villains, even though they aren’t officially authorized to use their special abilities. College student Kouichi Haimawari discovers his purpose when he meets Kazuko Haneyama, a vigilante, and gets caught up in a dangerous criminal world.
6) Gachiakuta
Since it first came out last year, Gachiakuta has been widely praised for its detailed world and compelling characters. The story takes place in a society where the rich carelessly discard trash, but for Rudo, who struggles to survive in the slums, that trash is a valuable resource. He’s wrongly accused of killing Regto and thrown into a dangerous place called the Pit.
Rudo believes he’s about to die, so he’s stunned to find himself awake in a polluted, monster-filled wasteland. Rescued by a man named Enjin, one of the Cleaners, Rudo recovers and sets out to escape this dangerous place and find the person who killed his father.
5) Witch Watch
I watched as Morihito Otogi, a young boy hiding a big secret – he’s actually an ogre – unexpectedly ran into Nico Wakatsuki again. Nico was his childhood friend, but she’d been away training as a witch, and honestly, she was a bit clumsy despite her power. Turns out, their parents had decided they’d be living together. Apparently, Nico was in serious danger, and they believed Morihito was the only one who could keep her safe.
I noticed he wasn’t thrilled about having her move in, but he agreed once he understood how serious things were. Still, life quickly became unpredictable. It seemed like every day brought another child with a special something, and before we knew it, they were all ending up at Morihito’s place.
4) Wistoria: Wand and Sword
Fans of this exciting fantasy anime can look forward to a second season arriving in Spring 2026, making it a great time to start watching or revisit the series. It’s known for its stunning visuals and imaginative world, and follows Will Serfort, a boy without magical ability, as he strives to become one of the kingdom’s five most powerful magicians, known as the Magia Vander.
Will is incredibly strong, but people often underestimate him because he can’t use magic. He’s facing a lot of difficulties, but he’s determined to overcome them and find his childhood love, who was separated from him due to her magical abilities.
3) Dororo
Inspired by Osamu Tezuka’s 1967 manga, the story centers on Hyakkimaru, a man offered to demons before birth. His father, the ambitious samurai lord Daigo Kagemitsu, made a deal with twelve demons to ensure his land’s success, resulting in Hyakkimaru being born without arms, legs, eyes, nose, ears, or skin. Abandoned at birth, the infant miraculously survived and was found and cared for by a compassionate man who crafted artificial limbs and weapons for him.
Hyakkimaru, after losing parts of his body to demons as a child, sets out on a quest for revenge. Along the way, he meets Dororo, a young orphan who joins him, having learned to survive on his own after losing his parents.
2) Sonny Boy
This critically acclaimed series from the renowned Madhouse studio is known for its complex stories, dreamlike animation, and exploration of what’s real. It starts with 36 regular middle school students – including characters named Nagara, Nozomi, and Mizuho – who suddenly find themselves in a strange new dimension called “This World.”
This strange and secretive place operates by its own rules, and the students unexpectedly develop incredible powers. As they learn more about this bizarre world, they face difficult obstacles and disagreements while trying to find a way back to their normal lives.
1) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
This new version of the classic anime closely follows the original manga and tells the complete story in 64 episodes. The plot moves forward consistently, and the series is captivating because it tackles serious topics like war and what it means to be human, all while keeping things engaging with humor and well-developed characters.
The story centers on brothers Edward and Alphonse, who suffer terrible consequences after breaking a fundamental rule of alchemy. They begin a journey to restore what they’ve lost by searching for the fabled Philosopher’s Stone, but the reality they uncover is far more devastating than they imagined.
