Although 2026 has barely begun, it is already bringing significant changes to the anime industry. It marks the end of an era, as several beloved and long-running series will conclude their stories for good in 2026. Therefore, it is worth noting which anime will be saying goodbye in 2026 so fans can mark it on their calendars.
Tokyo Revengers
- Release year: 2021
- Final season release date: To be confirmed
After five years, the Tokyo Revengers anime will conclude with its fourth season in 2026. While the series hasn’t been without controversy during its run, the final segment of Tokyo Revengers is undoubtedly the most criticized part of the manga. However, the anime could change things and offer fans a better ending.
Titled “The War of the Three Titans Arc,” Tokyo Revengers Season 4 will explore Takemichi’s new objective. Despite believing he has achieved the future he desired, Takemichi decides to return to the past once more to rescue someone dear to him. This season will depict a three-way battle between Tokyo’s main gangs, Rokuhara Tandai, Brahman, and the Kanto Manji Gang.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War
- Release year: 2019
- Final film release date: To be confirmed
Following the anime special titled “The Stairway to Adulthood,” which aired in late 2025, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War announced a film that will bring a definitive end to Aka Akasaka’s story. Although many fans disliked that the anime skipped entire story arcs, it was revealed that Kaguya-sama: Love is War: The Final Chapter will feature a completely new ending.
This creative shift is due to the controversial reception of the manga’s original ending. The film will be supervised by the author of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and aims to satisfy even those fans who were left with a bad taste in their mouths after the manga’s conclusion.
Golden Kamuy
- Release year: 2018
- Final season release date: January 5, 2026
The fifth season of Golden Kamuy, titled “Final Chapter,” premiered as part of Winter 2026 and is expected to conclude in March 2026 with the release of its 13th episode. An anime about characters fighting for gold hidden by the Ainu people, Golden Kamuy became one of the most unpredictable and wild adventures imaginable.
The anime has intertwined many historical figures with chaotic developments, and Golden Kamuy Final Chapter presents a conflict between factions where Sugimoto and Asirpa need to outwit Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata. Despite some initial animation flaws, Golden Kamuy has improved exponentially, with every new episode keeping viewers on edge wondering who will manage to seize the gold.
