What to Watch on Crunchyroll in January 2026

I’m seeing a great mix of shows for this season! Several series from last Fall are continuing, like Detective Conan, Digimon Beatbreak, The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 5, SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes, To Your Eternity Season 3, and You and Idol Precure. But the biggest names really leading the way seem to be Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Fire Force, and Oshi no Ko.

Keep an eye out for upcoming premieres like Sentenced to Be a Hero (previously scheduled for 2025), Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers (a reboot of Ronin Warriors), Hana-Kimi, and more. This is just a small taste of everything that’s on the way!
