    Yes, there’s a lot this season, and it’s great. 😊

    Thanks for asking! Here’s what I am, or have been, watching recently (all on Crunchyroll) but not all are from the winter 2026 season:

    • Oshi no Ko. Working my way through season 2 now that s2+3 are on CR. So well done, but a real emotional roller coaster - the blend of bright and dark gives me whiplash sometimes.
    • Let’s Play. My first “written by an American, set in America, but animated and stylised like an anime” show. It’s lovely.
    • Sousou no Frieren. Of course. Magnificent on many levels.
    • Wash It All Away. Adorable, earnest MC with a mysterious past, and generally feel-good. (Though I’m waiting for the second shoe to drop).
    • Yako-kun’s Ordinary Days. I have a thing for high school rom-com anime and manga, with all the earnestness, nervousness and bright futures, and this nails all that.
    • There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party So I Tried Confessing to Her. Proof that isekai isn’t over-played or jaded. (Similar to Re:Zero in that regard).
    • You Can’t Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! Lots of tropes, but I enjoyed it.
    • You and I Are Polar Opposites. Another adorable high school rom-com.
    • Dealing with the Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze. I love the manga for this, so watched it in the hope the adaptation would do it justice. It does.

    There are a bunch of others, but that list is definitely long enough and they’re all outside of the recent season. 😄

    How about you? Anything caught you by surprise?
