Fall 2026 Anime to Collect: Every Premiere Date and Figures to Chase

The Fall 2026 anime season is the busiest of the year: more than a dozen sequels, remakes and premieres land between late September and late October 2026, from The Apothecary Diaries and Blue Lock to a full CLAMP remake of Magic Knight Rayearth. This guide keeps one durable job — it puts every confirmed premiere date and streaming home in a single table, then answers the question the watch-guides skip: which of these you can actually buy figures for right now.

Dates below are the officially announced ones as of late August 2026. A few titles are still month-only or have not confirmed an international simulcast, and the table flags exactly which. We refresh this page as each announcement lands, so bookmark it rather than hunting a new post every week.

Fall 2026 anime premiere dates at a glance

These are the season's biggest confirmed premieres, in date order, with where each one streams and whether Akibato currently stocks figures for it. Two heavyweights arrive on streaming in late September as the lead-in before the October television rush.

Fall 2026 anime you can collect right now

Three of the season's headliners already have figures on Akibato's shelves, so you do not have to wait for a lottery or an aftermarket listing. Start here if you want something in hand before the season even airs.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run 2nd STAGE

The 2nd STAGE of Steel Ball Run begins its weekly Netflix run on September 25, 2026, covering the next legs of the transcontinental horse race. JoJo has one of the deepest figure catalogues in the hobby, spanning every part. Read the full breakdown in our Steel Ball Run 2nd STAGE collector's guide, then browse the in-stock JoJo's Bizarre Adventure figures.

Chainsaw Man: the Reze Arc film

The Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie reaches Prime Video in Japan on September 19, 2026, roughly a year after its theatrical run and its 10-billion-yen box office. Reze and Denji figures track closely to the film's release, so this is the moment their lines expand. See our Reze Arc collector's guide and the current Chainsaw Man figures.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus

Dragon Ball Super returns this fall with Beerus, a remaster of the Battle of Gods arc that sets up the new Galactic Patrol series in 2027. Dragon Ball's prize and scale figures never really go out of stock, which makes it the safe evergreen buy of the season. Our Dragon Ball Super: Beerus guide has the details; the Dragon Ball collection is stocked now.

The October TV premieres to queue up

The season's television tentpoles are worth adding to your watchlist even though their figure lines are thin or lottery-only for now. We cover each series in a dedicated guide and update this hub as their collectibles get announced.

October 2: Apothecary Diaries S3 and Tokyo Revengers S4

October 2 is the season's first big television day. The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 brings Maomao back to the rear palace as a split cour, with its second half following in April 2027 and a film in December. Tokyo Revengers Season 4: War of the Three Titans adapts the manga's final arc and streams on Disney+; our Tokyo Revengers Season 4 guide covers what changes for collectors.

October 4: Blue Box S2 and Ao Ashi S2

Two long-awaited sports and romance sequels share October 4. Blue Box (Ao no Hako) Season 2 moves to studio Electric Circus and airs on TBS, streaming worldwide on Netflix where the first season lived — details in our Blue Box Season 2 guide. Ao Ashi Season 2 returns after a four-year wait with a new studio, TMS Entertainment, and a 24-episode run simulcast on Crunchyroll; see our Ao Ashi Season 2 guide.

October 5–7: Junket Bank, Magic Knight Rayearth and The World's Strongest Witch

Midweek brings three first-time premieres. Junket Bank, a gambling manga adaptation from studio CUE, starts October 5 on TV Tokyo (our Junket Bank guide). October 7 is the nostalgia headliner: CLAMP's Magic Knight Rayearth 2026 remake from studio E&H production is a full new adaptation of the 1990s classic, with the Rune-Gods and the three Magic Knights driving the inevitable figure wave. The same day, The World's Strongest Witch, an isekai fantasy from Bridge and AISLE, debuts on Tokyo MX and BS11.

Later in October: Blue Lock S3, Black Clover S2 and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

The back half of the month has three more. Blue Lock Season 3: Neo Egoist League from Studio 8bit is the most ambitious arc yet. Black Clover Season 2: Spade Kingdom Raid marks Studio Pierrot's return after a multi-year gap. And Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 drops all ten episodes on Netflix on October 20 — a standalone Studio Trigger anthology with a new cast rather than a continuation of David Martinez's story.

How to collect a season whose figures haven't shipped yet

Most October premieres will not have dedicated scale figures until months after they air. The dependable collector move in the meantime is Japan's prize-figure lottery, the Ichiban Kuji, which covers far more series than the scale lines do and guarantees a figure with every ticket.

• Ichiban Kuji — no-blank lotteries run for dozens of franchises each season, including several fall headliners. Akibato ships them worldwide from Japan.
• In-stock evergreens — JoJo, Chainsaw Man, Dragon Ball and One Piece all have figures on the shelf today, so you can build an order now instead of waiting.
• Watch this hub — as kuji and scale figures for the October premieres are announced, we add them here and in each series' guide.

New to lottery figures? Start with Akibato's Ichiban Kuji figures and the always-stocked One Piece collection.

Fall 2026 anime FAQ

When does the Fall 2026 anime season start?

The autumn cour begins in early October 2026, with the earliest major television premieres on October 2 (Apothecary Diaries Season 3 and Tokyo Revengers Season 4). Two streaming drops arrive first in late September: the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc film on September 19 and JoJo's Steel Ball Run 2nd STAGE on September 25.

Where can I watch the Fall 2026 anime outside Japan?

Crunchyroll carries the most of the slate, including Apothecary Diaries Season 3, Ao Ashi Season 2, Blue Lock Season 3 and Black Clover Season 2. Netflix has Blue Box Season 2, Steel Ball Run 2nd STAGE and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, while Tokyo Revengers Season 4 is on Disney+. Junket Bank, Magic Knight Rayearth and The World's Strongest Witch have Japanese broadcasters confirmed but have not yet named an overseas simulcast partner.

Which Fall 2026 anime can I collect figures for now?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Chainsaw Man and Dragon Ball all have figures in stock at Akibato today, and One Piece stays stocked year-round. For the October television premieres, expect Ichiban Kuji and prize figures to follow the broadcasts rather than launch alongside them.

Is Magic Knight Rayearth 2026 a remake of the original?

Yes. The October 7, 2026 series is a brand-new television adaptation of CLAMP's 1990s magical-girl isekai, not a continuation, produced by studio E&H production with an all-new voice cast. It is the season's biggest nostalgia draw for collectors who grew up with the Rune-Gods.
