New Anime in 2027: Every Premiere, Season and Film

The short answer: 2027 in one paragraph

2027 is shaping up to be one of the busiest anime years in a long time. We have verified 115 confirmed premieres, seasons and films, and 25 of them already have an exact date. January alone brings 63 titles, starting with Magical Buffs and Iruma-kun: IruMafia Edition on 4 January and building to Mashle Season 3 on 9 January and Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 on Netflix on 19 January. February brings the One Piece remake, THE ONE PIECE, to Netflix. April adds Kagurabachi and the Haikyu!! film. Summer brings the One Piece Film: God Valley, and October brings Frieren Season 3 and Delicious in Dungeon Season 2. Spy x Family Season 4, Dandadan Season 3 and the Kaiju No. 8 film are all confirmed for 2027 without a month yet. Every title below is confirmed by at least two sources, and anything still unconfirmed is labelled as reported, never given a date.

2027 at a glance

Winter carries most of the year. January is the single biggest month, with more confirmed titles than the whole of spring and summer combined. Here is how the year breaks down.

The biggest anime of 2027

These are the titles people will be talking about, in the order they arrive. The full list, all 115 titles, is in the season tables further down.

Mashle Season 3, 9 January, on Crunchyroll

The year opens with its biggest comedy action return. Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3 premieres on 9 January 2027 at 24:00 JST on TOKYO MX, BS11, Gunma TV and Tochigi TV, from A-1 Pictures. Crunchyroll streams it worldwide except Japan and China, with India included. The date was announced on 11 November 2026 at the Birthday Special on ABEMA, alongside the first main trailer and a new key visual. Season 3 adapts the Tri-Magicathlon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc, with Soma Saito joining as Domina Blowelive and Ryota Suzuki as Levi Rosequartz. One date quirk to know: some listings show 10 January, because 24:00 JST on 9 January is midnight. Our Mashle Season 3 report covers the arc and what to watch first.

Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, 19 January, on Netflix

The month's biggest firm date after Mashle. Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 premieres on Netflix on 19 January 2027, with all 6 episodes dropping at once, from Blue Spirit. Mizu continues her revenge quest, and a final Season 3 follows in 2028. After a wait of more than three years since the first season, this is the return a lot of people have been holding out for. If you have not watched Season 1 yet, January gives you a clear deadline to finish it by.

One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2, January 2027

The month's biggest action return. One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 premieres in January 2027 from J.C.Staff, continuing the Monster Association arc, with no exact day announced yet. The music news landed on 7 November 2026: JAM Project performs the opening, "Never Done", and Makoto Furukawa, Saitama's own voice actor, writes and performs the ending theme. Our Season 3 Part 2 report covers the trailer, the themes and what Part 2 adapts.

Sakamoto Days Season 2, January, on Netflix

Sakamoto Days returns for Season 2 in January 2027 on Netflix worldwide, from TMS Entertainment.

The fall season's headline act. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 3 premieres in October 2027, adapting the Golden Land Arc from the manga, starting at Chapter 81. Madhouse animates it, with Tomoya Kitagawa directing and Keiichiro Saito, who directed the first two seasons, as director support.

Season 2 streamed on Crunchyroll outside Asia.

New character visuals for Falin, Kabru, Mithrun and Thistle were released in October 2026. No exact day has been announced yet.

Spy x Family Season 4, 2027

Spy x Family Season 4 is confirmed for 2027, with no month announced yet. It was announced on 8 November 2026 at the SPY x FAMILY ANIME EXTRA MISSION II event, alongside a second movie, also set for 2027. Yasuhiro Akamatsu directs Season 4, with WIT Studio and CloverWorks returning and Aya Takaha on series composition. Exact dates, returning cast and which arcs it adapts are all still unannounced. The Jump Festa panel on 19 to 20 December 2026 is the next expected beat. Our Spy x Family Season 4 report has the full announcement details.

Dandadan Season 3, 2027

Dandadan Season 3 is confirmed for 2027, with no month or season announced yet. Science SARU returns to animate the Space Globalists Arc, announced at Jump Festa 2026 on 21 December 2025 with a key visual featuring Bamora. One warning: a January 2027 window that briefly appeared in a European distributor listing was officially retracted as a mistake, so do not plan around January until the official announcement gives a month. Streaming platforms have not been restated in the official announcement, though ScreenRant reports Netflix and Crunchyroll.

Kagurabachi, April 2027

The most anticipated new adaptation of the spring. Kagurabachi premieres in April 2027, from Cypic (formerly CygamesPictures), directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi with Keigo Sasaki on character design. It adapts Takeru Hokazono's Weekly Shonen Jump manga: Chihiro Rokuhira, voiced by Taihi Kimura, wields one of his late father's enchanted blades on a path of revenge. The anime was announced on 27 April 2026, and a world tour screening of Episode 1 runs to a finale on 25 March 2027 at Kabukiza Theatre. Streaming is genuinely unconfirmed: one outlet claims Crunchyroll worldwide outside Asia, while a check of the official site found no streaming service announced. We will update this page when Crunchyroll confirms it either way.

THE ONE PIECE, February, on Netflix

The remake lands in February. THE ONE PIECE, WIT Studio's from-scratch retelling of the One Piece anime, starts streaming worldwide on Netflix in February 2027, with all seven episodes dropping at once. Season 1 covers roughly the first 50 chapters of Eiichiro Oda's manga, up to Luffy meeting Sanji, across about 300 minutes, so each episode runs close to 42 minutes. Masashi Koizuka directs, and the remake aims for tighter pacing without the padding of the original weekly series. It is a separate project from the long-running One Piece TV anime, which returns from its hiatus in 2027 on its own timeline.

Girls Band Cry THE MOVIE, 21 May, in cinemas

Girls Band Cry THE MOVIE opens in Japanese cinemas on Friday 21 May 2027, from Toei Animation, directed by Kazuo Sakai. This is a new story, the band on a national tour, not a recap of the TV anime.

Kaiju No. 8: The Final Mission, 2027, in cinemas

Kaiju No. 8 ends with a film, not a Season 3. Kaiju No. 8: The Final Mission opens in Japanese cinemas in 2027, from Production I.G, with no exact date announced. TOHO confirmed on 24 October 2026 that the story concludes with this film. Our Kaiju No. 8 film report has the details.

Where the Monsters Go, about the Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka match, is also set for 2027. It is a special, not a film.

The summer's biggest film. One Piece Film: God Valley opens in Japanese cinemas in Summer 2027, from Toei Animation, announced at ONE PIECE DAY '26 on 23 August 2026.

Two new series to put on your radar

Not every 2027 highlight is a sequel. Two brand new adaptations stand out, and both already have striking key visuals.

Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box premieres in 2027, from J.C.STAFF, directed by Chiaki Kon with Seishi Minakami on series composition. It adapts Tomoko Ninomiya's josei manga, from the creator of Nodame Cantabile, serialised in Kiss since November 2013 across 28 volumes. Shinobu Kurata works at Kurata-ya, a long-established Tokyo pawnshop, and can sense the aura released by gemstones. It was announced on 11 November 2026, Jewelry Day, with a teaser visual, teaser trailer and official site. No cast, episode count or season has been announced yet.

Just Like Mona Lisa premieres in 2027, from SHAFT, directed by Kana Shundo with Nobuhiro Sugiyama on character design and Yuki Hayashi on music. It adapts Tsumuji Yoshimura's manga, 10 volumes and over 1 million copies. In a world where people are born genderless and usually choose a gender around age 12, Hinase Arima, voiced by Chika Anzai, remains genderless at eighteen. The ending theme, "Mayoi wa Hikari", is by imase. The first main trailer and main visual were released on 21 October 2026. No season, broadcaster or episode count has been announced yet.

Winter 2027: January to March, the full list

Winter holds 69 of the year's 115 titles. January is the biggest month of the year by a wide margin, with 63 confirmed titles, and it is also the month with the most exact dates.

January 2027, exact dates

Nineteen titles already have a day. Two date notes: Mashle Season 3 airs at 24:00 JST on 9 January, which is midnight, so some listings show 10 January. Wound and Bandage premieres on AT-X at 11:00 p.m. JST on 9 January, while its other slots fall on 10 January by the calendar.

January 2027, month only

Forty-four more titles are confirmed for January without an exact day yet. Code Geass: Star Chaser Aspal is listed here because its advance preview screenings fall in January, ahead of event screenings later in 2027. It is not a weekly TV series starting in January.

February 2027

February is small but heavy: the One Piece remake on Netflix, plus three films in Japanese cinemas.

March 2027

March brings two films, and both are finales of a kind: the 46th Doraemon feature, and the concluding chapter of the Date A Live anime.

Spring 2027: April to June, the full list

Spring holds 24 titles, almost all of them in April. It is the season of sequels: Laid-Back Camp, The Dangers in My Heart, Minami-ke, Skip and Loafer and The Apothecary Diaries all return, alongside the year's most anticipated new adaptation, Kagurabachi.

April 2027

No April title has an exact day yet. The Haikyu!! film is listed as April on the strength of Anime Corner's report, citing the official X account; other coverage says 2027 with no month.

May 2027

Summer 2027: July to September, the full list

Summer is quiet so far, with three confirmed titles. Expect this section to grow as the year goes on, since summer announcements usually land in spring.

Fall 2027: October to December, the full list

Fall has only two confirmed titles so far, but they are two of the biggest of the year. Both land in October, and both are covered in detail above.

2027, no month announced yet

Seventeen titles are confirmed for 2027 with no month or season attached. Several of them are among the most searched anime of the year, including Spy x Family Season 4, Dandadan Season 3 and the Kaiju No. 8 film. We will move each one into its month the moment an official announcement gives one.

Reported for 2027, not confirmed

These titles keep showing up in 2027 lists, but none of them has an official 2027 date. We list them here so you can tell the difference between a confirmed premiere and a rumour.

• Fall in Love, You False Angels: reported for January 2027 by ComicBook, but MAPPA's official word is only 2027, with no month. January is a report, not a date.
• Solo Leveling Season 3: no announcement at all. A D and C Media financial report lists it as expected in 2027 to 2028, which is a business forecast, not a release date.
• Golden Kamuy Final Season: Runaway Train Arc: announced as continuing "this winter", with no month or day. It cannot be placed in 2027 yet.
• There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party Season 2: confirmed in production, announced 7 November 2026, but with no premiere window at all. A fan post claiming 2027 is not a source.
• Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2: no announced date. Viral graphics claiming dates are fake, and a newspaper report of 2027 was withdrawn after Crunchyroll said it had not disclosed any window.
• Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 (Culling Game Part 2): no announced date or year.
• Gachiakuta Season 2: in production, no date or year.
• Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc, Oshi no Ko Season 4, Blue Lock Season 3: no announced window for any of them.
• Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, Lord of Mysteries Season 2: "TBA 2027" appears only in an Instagram infographic for each. No reputable source.

Live-action films and dramas are not in this guide either, even when they share a title with an anime. That includes the Naruto live-action film, filming in spring 2027, and the Mashle live-action film, opening in Japan on 19 March 2027.

Weekly shows that keep airing into 2027

Two autumn series run on into 2027 as continuations, not new premieres, so they are not counted in the 115 above:

• Magic Knight Rayearth (2026): the second cour continues into 2027.
• Suikoden: The Anime: two consecutive cours running to March 2027, free on YouTube and on Crunchyroll in selected regions.

Dates can shift, and our release calendar tracks the confirmed premieres month by month. Our January 2027 guide and April 2027 guide cover those months in more detail.

What to watch first, by mood

• You want the exact dates: Mashle Season 3 on 9 January, Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 on 19 January, ghost: End of Night on 11 February, Medalist the Movie on 19 February, and Girls Band Cry THE MOVIE on 21 May. Five premieres, no guessing involved.
• You want the biggest action return: One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 in January, then Kagurabachi in April.

• You are waiting on a sequel with no date: Keep Spy x Family Season 4, Dandadan Season 3 and the Kaiju No. 8 film on your radar, not in your diary. 2027 is confirmed, the month is not.
