My Summer season 2026 Anime Watch Record
Right here’s my deliberate Summer season 2026 anime watch listing.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance
Good grief! What is that this massively lengthy sequence title? That apart, it has been ages since I watched any factor from the Nanoha franchise. I’m advised that this sequence is from the film continuity, going all the way in which again to Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The MOVIE 1st. 😅 I don’t assume I’ve watched any of the films as I normally discover transfer diversifications of a TV anime sequence to be vastly inferior. However I assume I’ll have to observe all of them and attempt to assessment them. I gotta get cracking on that.
Not utterly offered on the brand new character designs. Destiny and Nanoha had distinctive appears to be like earlier than. They’ve misplaced that as proven within the promo picture under. (Click on to enlarge.)
One more promo picture appears to present them a extra right look.
We’ll see. As it’s, I gotta discover/watch/assessment the films ASAP!
MAO
I gotta say, the primary cour of MAO has been a nice shock to me. We all know for certain it’s getting 26 episodes. So I can be simply down to observe extra episodes regardless of Viz despising Japanese honorifics whereas retaining tons of different Japanese phrases within the subtitles. 😅
Contemplating the supply manga simply dropped chapter 325 final week, I absolutely anticipate to listen to a brand new season/sequence introduced on the finish of summer season. We’ll see. The crappy factor is that each MAO and the brand new Nanoha sequence air on Saturday, which is a piece day for me. 😭
Fist of the North Star (2026)
Formally, nothing is on the dock for extra episodes of the 2026 Fist of the North Star adaptation. Most all the things on the market claimed that the sequence was solely slated for 12 episodes. But episode 13 dropped final weekend and it’s in the midst of a narrative arc. If we get an episode 14 on Friday, then I’d say we’re in for a minimum of 24 episodes, perhaps 26. So if it airs, I’m there and if not, I’ll be dissatisfied.
