Supernatural Anime

Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1 is the first half of the anime's third season, made by MAPPA. Its 12 episodes aired from January to March 2026, taking the overall series to 59 episodes. After the Shibuya Incident, Yuji Itadori is a wanted man: his death sentence is back, and special grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu has been sent to carry it out. Behind the chaos stands Kenjaku, the ancient sorcerer wearing Suguru Geto's body, who has forced thousands of people into the Culling Game, a battle royale fought inside barriers across Japan, where players kill for points under strict, changing rules. With Satoru Gojo still sealed away, Yuji, Megumi, Maki, Panda and Yuta enter the colonies to find a way to bend the rules, free Gojo and stop Kenjaku's plan. Part 1 is wall-to-wall battles with brains behind them: a gambler whose technique runs on pure luck, a lawyer who puts sorcerers on trial, and an ancient warrior hunting Sukuna himself. It ends mid-game, with Part 2 still to come.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity is the fourth and final part of the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, and the last chapter of the Bleach story on television. It premiered on 25 July 2026 in the Summer 2026 season and has now finished airing, with the finale broadcast on 26 October 2026. The season brings the war between the Soul Reapers and Yhwach's Quincy army, the Wandenreich, to its climax. Ichigo Kurosaki and his allies fight to protect the Soul King and the balance between the worlds, while captains reveal bankai that fans waited years to see animated. It adapts the final stretch of Tite Kubo's manga, so every battle carries the weight of the whole series behind it. Because The Calamity completes the final manga arc, this is the season long-time viewers have been building towards since the anime returned in 2022. If you have followed Bleach from the beginning, this is the ending. New viewers should start much earlier, the watch order below shows the full path, but for everyone else, The Calamity is Bleach at its biggest and most emotional.

High school student Yuji Itadori swallows a cursed finger and becomes the host of the powerful curse Ryomen Sukuna. He joins Tokyo Jujutsu High, where sorcerers train to fight the curses that threaten people every day. The series mixes dark horror, humour and some of the best fight scenes in modern anime. The Jujutsu Kaisen anime is produced by MAPPA and adapted from Gege Akutami's manga. A prequel movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, tells the story of Yuta Okkotsu, and the later seasons raise the stakes into the devastating Shibuya Incident and beyond. What sets the series apart is its balance: brutal, beautifully animated fights on one side, and quiet questions about what a proper death really means on the other. Few modern anime have matched its mix of style, dread and heart.

Tanjiro Kamado's family is killed by demons, and his sister Nezuko is turned into one. He joins the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt demons and search for a way to make Nezuko human again. The show is famous for its stunning sword fights and its warm, emotional story. The Demon Slayer anime is made by studio ufotable, whose movie-quality animation turns its sword techniques into flowing works of art. It became a phenomenon in Japan and around the world, its first movie, Mugen Train, broke box-office records. At heart, though, Demon Slayer stays simple and sincere: a gentle boy who refuses to hate even the demons he must kill, and a little sister worth saving at any cost.

Shiki Ichinose learns he carries the blood of the Oni, the demons hunted by the Momotaro Agency. In the Nikko Kegon Falls arc he trains with other Oni while the war between the two bloodlines grows hotter. It is a dark, stylish action series about identity and family. After the Kyoto and Nerima battles, Shiki and his Rasetsu Academy classmates have grown stronger, but their classmate Ikari Yaoroshi has left the academy to join the Oni Brigade, a rogue Oni force bent on wiping out the Momotaro completely, civilians included. Shiki sets out to bring him back, and the trail leads to Nikko, where the Momotaro Agency runs a research facility above Kegon Falls that hides horrific experiments. Animated by Studio Hibari, the arc premiered on 2 October 2026 and is planned as a split two-cour run. It adapts the Nikko chapters of Yura Urushibara's manga, and new episodes stream worldwide every Friday on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Prime Video.

Ichigo Kurosaki can see ghosts, and one night he gains the powers of a Soul Reaper and is pulled into a hidden world of spirits, hollows and sword-wielding guardians. Bleach is Studio Pierrot's 2004 adaptation of Tite Kubo's manga, and it begins in the ordinary town of Karakura, where 15-year-old Ichigo meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper who lends him her powers to protect his family. From that night he takes her place: guiding lost souls to the Soul Society and fighting the corrupted spirits called Hollows. The story quickly grows far beyond one town, a rescue mission into the Soul Society itself, the betrayal of the captain Sosuke Aizen, an army of evolved Hollows called Arrancar, and wars that threaten every world at once. Bleach is known for its stylish sword fights, where each Soul Reaper's blade has a name, a spirit and a hidden final form, and for Kubo's fashion-influenced character designs. The original series ran for 366 episodes from 2004 to 2012, and the story's final arc was completed a decade later by the Thousand-Year Blood War series, which finished in 2026.

Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed Mob, can bend spoons, exorcise spirits and level buildings with his psychic power. The strongest esper alive is somehow just an awkward middle-schooler who wants to be liked, get fit and maybe impress his crush. He works part-time for Arataka Reigen, a cheerful con artist with zero psychic powers who sells Mob's talent as a real exorcism business while teaching him that powers do not make a person special. Animated by Bones across three seasons (2016–2022), Mob Psycho 100 balances wild, experimental action with a warm story about growing up: Mob joins the Body Improvement Club, clashes with rival esper Teruki Hanazawa and the esper-supremacist organisation Claw, and slowly learns to express the feelings he has bottled up, because when his emotions hit 100%, his power explodes. The anime adapts ONE's complete 16-volume manga in full, so the story has a proper, satisfying ending.

Ken Kaneki is a quiet student who loves books, until a date ends in disaster and he wakes up with a ghoul's organs inside him. Now half-human, half-ghoul, he is hunted by the ghoul investigators of the CCG, feared by humans, and unable to eat anything but human flesh. The staff of the Anteiku coffee shop take him in and teach him to survive in both worlds. Pierrot's anime (2014–2018) runs for 48 episodes across Tokyo Ghoul, the anime-original sequel √A, and the two cours of Tokyo Ghoul:re, plus the Jack and Pinto OVAs. It adapts Sui Ishida's dark manga, 30 volumes across Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:re, though the anime compresses and, in √A's case, rewrites major parts of the story. What never changes is the core: a kind boy forced to eat to live, a city split between hunters and hunted, and operatic battles between ghouls and the doves who exterminate them.

In a world where people can suddenly combust into living infernos, special fire brigades of pyrokinetic soldiers fight the flames and search for the cause. Shinra Kusakabe, a third-generation pyrokinetic who can ignite his feet, joins Company 8 hoping to become a hero, and to learn the truth about the fire that took his family. From the creator of Soul Eater, Fire Force is stylish, loud and full of blazing battles. Animated by david production, the series ran for 73 episodes across three seasons (2019–2026), adapting Atsushi Ohkubo's complete manga. Its world is rich and strange: a solar-era Tokyo ruled by the Holy Sol Temple, where the Fire Force's eight companies mix firefighters, soldiers and priests, and where the pyrokinetic generations can conjure, control or weaponise flame. Shinra, nicknamed the Devil for the grin fear puts on his face, fights alongside the knight-obsessed Arthur, the unlucky Tamaki, sniper-engineer Maki and the rest of Company 8, the brigade formed to watch the other companies. Behind the fires stands the Evangelist and her White-Clad cult, hunting children with the Adolla Burst. Few shonen anime look or sound like this: soul, funk and cathedral bells over some of the wildest fire animation ever drawn.

At the edge of human awareness lives Yato, a forgotten god who will grant any wish for five yen. Noragami begins when schoolgirl Hiyori Iki pushes a stranger out of the path of a bus and wakes up able to slip out of her body and see the world of gods and spirits. The stranger is Yato, a broke, tracksuit-wearing minor god of calamity with no shrine, who dreams of fame and takes odd jobs while fighting phantoms with his shinki, the spirits who serve gods as living weapons. Together with the teenage shinki Yukine, the three form a strange family as Yato's violent past catches up with him: the war god Bishamon hunts him for an old tragedy, and the god Ebisu's dangerous plans drag everyone toward Yomi, the land of the dead. The anime by studio Bones has two seasons, Noragami (2014) and Noragami Aragoto (2015), plus four OVAs, mixing action, comedy and real emotion.

Satoru Fujinuma has an unwanted gift: when something terrible is about to happen, his mind is thrown a few minutes back in time so he can stop it. He calls it Revival. Erased begins in 2006, where 29-year-old Satoru is a struggling manga artist delivering pizzas in Chiba. When his mother is murdered and he is framed for the crime, Revival does something it has never done before, it sends him back eighteen years, into his ten-year-old body in his snowy Hokkaido hometown in 1988. There, Satoru realises what he must do: stop the kidnapping case that shadowed his childhood, starting with his classmate Kayo Hinazuki, a lonely girl who was the killer's first known victim. Animated by A-1 Pictures in 2016, this 12-episode thriller is a complete, tightly told story about regret, friendship and a second chance to save the people who matter.

Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen opens in 2006 with the Hidden Inventory arc: Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto are carefree second-year students, the strongest duo at Tokyo Jujutsu High, ordered to escort a schoolgirl, Riko Amanai, to her fate as the Star Plasma Vessel. The mission's brutal end, and the assassin Toji Fushiguro, splits the friends' paths forever: Gojo awakens as the strongest, while Geto begins his fall toward the villain of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The season then returns to the present for the Shibuya Incident, the manga's most famous arc: on Halloween night, 31 October 2018, a curtain traps thousands in Shibuya, Gojo is sealed away, and curses and curse users launch a coordinated attack that changes every surviving character. Running 23 episodes from July to December 2023, Season 2 pairs MAPPA's most ambitious action with the story's emotional core, how the strongest sorcerer was made, and what the world looks like without him.
