Top 10 Fall Animated Series on Streaming Worth Watching (Part Two)

In Part Two, Chibi Ed is all cozy for the next round Fall animated series to enjoy! With returning favourites and something new, he’s not leaving the comfort of home anytime soon.

Fall Animated Series  with EdIn part two, I look at series set to stream or screen from October onwards. Although the Fall animated series I want to watch is specific, these are the shows I am more excited for than others. (Sorry Futurama)

Topping the list is the return to the world of Avatar, and no, I’m not talking about the James Cameron product! Instead, it’s the animated series to which fans of will finally get to see an exciting chapter not only for Aang in a cinematic release, but also the successor to Korra so we can find out how reincarnation works.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender
and Seven Havens

Avatar Aang- The Last Airbender Oct 9, 2026
Studio/production: Avatar Studios / Nickelodeon Animation
Streaming: Paramount+ | New series

Synopsis: This entry covers and counts as two separate two Avatar projects that expand the franchise in different directions. The new Avatar: The Last Airbender series returns to a hero many fans grew up with, while Avatar: Seven Havens introduces the next incarnation after Korra. Pavi is a young Earthbender who inherits the Avatar mantle in an era that sees her as humanity’s destroyer rather than its saviour.

Alongside her long-lost twin, she must uncover the truth about her origins and save the Seven Havens. And in what makes the new series special is in how it brings South Indian cultural elements into its setting and visual identity. Together, the two series make Avatar one of the fall’s major animated events.

Top 10 Fall Animated Series on Streaming Worth Watching (Part One)

Chibi Ed’s all ears for these Fall Animated Series! Part One brings five fun picks packed with fantasy, mystery, and zombie-slaying adventure.

Chibi Ed Watching Cartoons Fall Animated SeriesThe Fall animated series I’m most excited for will mean sitting in front of the monitor more and having enough eyedrops to keep my vision clear. Some are familiar properties, while others are taking their first steps onto the screen. Together, they offer a lively mix of fantasy, comedy, horror, science fiction, and adventure for the season ahead.

There’s already plenty of buzz around this new fantasy series, so I’ll begin with it. After watching the first episode, I can see why The Golden Axe has so much promise. It has the ingredients to stand alongside shows such as Vox Machina, even if it is chasing a very different kind of energy. Whether it becomes a new favourite remains to be seen, but I’m certainly hoping it does.

Golden Axe

The Golden Axe

Sep 16, 2026
Streaming: Paramount+

Synopsis: When Paramount+ first announced an animated adaptation of SEGA’s classic arcade hack-and-slasher Golden Axe, I had my doubts. Not everyone will know the game, especially when SEGA’s best-known mascot is Sonic. With Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) leading the series, this fantasy epic is shaping up to be a hilarious, button-mashing trip back to Yuria. The result could be a surprisingly welcome revival for a property that has been waiting a long time for its next quest.

And the idea is sound. Here, we meet a barbarian going by the name of Ax Battler, a fiery sorceress named Tyris Flare, and a cranky dwarf Gilius Thunderhead preparing to face Death Adder. The twist comes when the party splits up, Ax and Tyris join forces with Chronos (from Golden Axe III), while Gilius finds himself saddled with Hampton Squib, a starry-eyed novice whose ambitions far outstrip his mentor.

At first glance, you might think it is trying to give The Legend of Vox Machina a run for its money, but the two shows hit very different notes. Vox leans into high-stakes campaign drama, while Golden Axe embraces gaming satire, rapid-fire meta-comedy, and arcade logic. With a voice cast featuring Matthew Rhys and Danny Pudi, it sounds like a great fit for pop-culture junkies who enjoy a little side-quest chaos. Attempts to get an animated Golden Axe project off the ground date back to 2014, so this version has been a long time coming.

The Sisters Grimm

The Sisters Grimm

Oct 2, 2026
Studio/production: Titmouse
Streaming: Apple TV+ | Returning: Season 2

Synopsis: Season two follows sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm as they continue uncovering the secrets of Ferryport Landing. After the events of the last season, it seems nearly all the characters they have interacted with (and not) have a score to settle with their parents, and it’s about time a continuation is happening! I’d have to rewatch the first series again to get caught up (review can be read here), and after a long wait, I can watch how they’ll deal with this broader threat.

One reason why I love this series is that it brings back the nostalgic mystery-solving charm of The Hardy Boys, or The Three Investigators, which I’m more of a fan of. Sabrina and Daphne face intense fairy-tale mysteries while trying to understand their family legacy. The show balances warmth and storybook wonder with a darker sense of unease, giving the sisters’ adventures room to become more than simple quests. The road to the screen was surprisingly long, too, with author Michael Buckley saying the books went through nearly two decades of unsuccessful adaptation attempts before this version finally came together.

#I’m Looking For a Zombie

#I’m Looking For a Zombie

Oct 3, 2026
Studio/production: Studio Comet
Streaming: Crunchyroll

Synopsis: Aki and her childhood friends grew up hearing stories about the old world, but those warnings do not keep them at home. They set out to find Aki’s missing father, knowing that the outside world is dangerous. Their first stop is already plagued by zombies, making the search far more hazardous than they expected. The series pairs a young hero’s determination with a post-apocalyptic world that clearly has more secrets waiting beyond the next ruined settlement.

One reason to watch is Aki herself. She remains optimistic even when the apocalypse gives her every reason to give up, and that contrast should keep the journey emotionally engaging. The real question is whether the search for her father will change her outlook, especially if he is already gone and cannot be brought back. The series may offer an intriguing inversion of the usual zombie-survival story, while the ongoing manga marks a notable departure for creator Katsuwo (Mitsuboshi Colours).

So What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?

So What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?

Oct 5, 2026
Studio/production: BAKKKA
Streaming: Crunchyroll

Synopsis: Office worker Akira Yagami dies after saving a child, and that good deed earns him another chance at life. He is reincarnated as a goblin, but his new existence comes with an unusual advantage. Goblins normally have short lifespans, yet Akira has eighty years to build a new life and decide how to use the power he gains. What begins as a familiar reincarnation setup quickly becomes a long-term challenge about survival, identity, and purpose.

One reason to watch is the unusual time limit. Akira is not simply trying to survive one dangerous day after another; he has decades to decide what kind of goblin he wants to become. Watching that lifespan unfold could give the series a different rhythm from the usual isekai adventure. The manga is written by Nazuna Miki (My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1), and its strong following gives this adaptation a solid foundation.

Magic Knight Rayearth

Magic Knight Rayearth

Oct 7, 2026
Studio/production: E&H production / UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS
Streaming: Crunchyroll

Synopsis: Three ordinary girls are summoned to the magical world of Cephiro. Once there, they learn that they must become the legendary Magic Knights. Their mission is to save the land from destruction, but the journey will demand more than simply learning how to fight. This new adaptation brings CLAMP’s classic fantasy adventure back to the screen for a new generation.

One reason to watch is the blend of familiar fantasy structure and a new presentation. I have fond memories of the older series, so I’m genuinely curious to see how this version handles the journey. The premise gives three ordinary girls a clear emotional and adventure hook as they are asked to become heroes in a world that needs them. For fans of CLAMP and retro anime, this has the strongest nostalgic pull on the list. It is also the first new animated adaptation of Rayearth in 29 years, following the 1997 OVA.

Want to Know What’s on Crunchyroll This Summer? There’s These Top Five Hot Picks….

From giant monster romcoms and supernatural ninja battles to fantasy adventures featuring dragons and cats, just what is hot on Crunchyroll this Summer looks fantastic!

Crunchyroll This SummerThere are plenty of returning anime favourites and new series coming to Crunchyroll this Summer, and these are my top picks. From romcoms to fantasy adventures, there’s a little something for everyone. Who needs fun in the sun when there’s a dragon flying nearby?

To be serious, The Cat and the Dragon is my number one choice. When I first heard about this series, I thought it was a one-off concept. It’s also unrelated to Robin Lane’s book of the same name. Perhaps that’s one possibility the original work never received an English translation. Whatever the reason, hopefully strong ratings will encourage a publisher to bring the source material to English-speaking audiences.

Kaiju Girl Caramelise

LIDENFILMS, July 2

Kaiju Girl CarameliseRomantic comedy meets giant monster chaos in Spica Aoki‘s Kaiju Girl Caramelise. Based on the manga of the same name, the story follows Kuroe Akaishi, a shy high school student suffering from a rare condition that causes her to transform into a gigantic kaiju whenever her romantic feelings spiral out of control.

Life becomes increasingly complicated when she develops feelings for popular classmate Arata Minami. Every blush, racing heartbeat, or awkward encounter risks triggering another destructive transformation.

Directed by Teruyuki Omine at LIDENFILMS, the anime blends high school romance with monster movie spectacle. What sets the series apart is how Kuroe’s transformations serve as a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions that accompany first love.

Black Torch

100studio, July 4

Black Torch AnimeBlack Torch adapts Tsuyoshi Takaki‘s supernatural action manga and follows Jiro Azuma, a rough-around-the-edges teenager descended from a line of shinobi. Thanks to a unique ability, Jiro can communicate with animals, a talent that leads him to a mysterious stray cat named Rago.

Unfortunately for Jiro, Rago is actually a powerful mononoke, one of the supernatural spirits lurking in the shadows of modern Japan.

After the pair becomes fused into a symbiotic relationship, Jiro is drawn into a secret conflict between humanity and powerful supernatural beings. The story combines ninja action, Japanese folklore, and urban fantasy while delivering plenty of explosive battles.

Directed by Kei Umabiki at 100studio, the production also features music by Yutaka Yamada, known for his work on VINLAND SAGA. Readers who enjoyed series such as Blue Exorcist or Noragami may want to keep an eye on this one.

The Cat and the Dragon

OLM, July 4

The Cat and the DragonWhat began as a series of short stories published online through Shōsetsuka ni Narō eventually became a manga and now an anime. It was originally a series of tales about a baby dragon raised by cats. Even as the felines would go about their business in the woods and elsewhere, some would soon be hunted and slain!

Humanity’s relationship with the nearby fauna may well teeter on the brink of war, but for the dragon, what he wows to do as a guardian with polymorphic abilities, is to prtect the peace. But is that enough?

Fortunately, this serpent knew what he is and not what he isn’t, and wants revenge. Just when local villagers think wild cats are the least of their worries, can an everlasting peace be negotiated?

The World’s Strongest Rearguard

MAHO FILM, July 5

The World's Strongest RearguardAfter dying in a tragic bus accident, overworked salaryman Arihito Atobe finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world filled with labyrinths, monsters, and adventurers known as Seekers.

Rather than receiving a flashy combat class, Arihito discovers he possesses the mysterious “Rearguard” job. While not a frontline fighter, the class specializes in strengthening allies through powerful support abilities, allowing him to enhance attacks, bolster defences, and keep his companions alive during dangerous expeditions.

Produced by MAHO FILM, the series leans heavily into RPG-style mechanics, dungeon exploration, party building, and character relationships. Fans of support-class protagonists and game-inspired fantasy worlds may find this a refreshing alternative to the usual overpowered hero formula.

Tomb Raider King

Studio EEK, July 8

Tomb Raider KingBased on the popular Korean web novel and manhwa, Tomb Raider King enters the anime arena with a premise that should immediately appeal to fans of regression and power-fantasy stories. In a world where mysterious tombs containing ancient relics suddenly appear, powerful organizations race to claim artifacts capable of granting extraordinary abilities.

The story follows Ryoga Goriki (Jooheon Suh in the original Korean version), an experienced relic raider who is betrayed and left for dead. Instead of dying, he awakens years in the past before the appearance of the tombs. Armed with knowledge of future events, he sets out to seize the world’s most valuable relics before anyone else can reach them.

Animated by STUDIO EEK, the series combines treasure hunting, supernatural powers, revenge, and strategic battles. While comparisons to other regression stories are inevitable, its focus on relic acquisition and archaeological raids helps it stand apart.

Can You Sweetly Smell What’s Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Ahead of it’s Debut?

Amusingly, just who Sasaki meets at till number two is a cue that life may well change for him. If Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You borrows from Mötley Crüe, he may have just met the girl all the bad boys want.

From manga to anime, fans can now sample what’s cooking in Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You (スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり). The series will make its official debut on July 4, and the first 12 mini-episodes offer an early taste of why this story from Jinushi has built such a loyal following. What is presented is more than another adult romance, and its appeal comes from how gently it observes loneliness, routine, and the small moments that make life feel less grey.

Sasaki (Takuya Satō) is an overworked office worker whose life has settled into a dull, joyless rhythm. One of the few bright spots in his day is a local supermarket, where the cheerful smile of cashier Yamada gives him a small reason to keep going. When another woman, Tayama (Seena Hoshiki), invites him to smoke behind the store, what follows plays with identity, attraction, and the difference between how people present themselves at work and who they become after hours.

Top Streaming Films or Series To Watch This Cool June

From fantasy adventures to animated oddities and supernatural intrigue, the top streaming films (and series) to see in June may seem slim, but these are the titles worth checking out.

Top Streaming Films Avatar- The Last AirbenderNearly every anxious Netflix subscriber is counting down to the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender season two, coming June 25, but there’s plenty else to watch while we wait. As for what other top streaming films or series there are, the mileage will vary depending on tastes.

The former service is running a bit light right now. Stranger Things carried it for years, and Tales from ’85 didn’t really fill that gap. The Boroughs is here. Both debuted last month, and tried as I might to watch, they didn’t hold my attention that well. Also, without the Duffer Brothers in the director’s chair, since they’re producing, not directing, it doesn’t have the same pull. It’s also more sci-fi than supernatural, which changes the vibe considerably.

So here are my top five picks for June. The streamers seem to know better than to drop heavy hitters in summer heat, which works out fine for us.

I Am FrankeldaI Am Frankelda

(Netflix) June 12

This dark fantasy stop-motion feature feels like a bizarre love child of del Toro’s nightmarish aesthetic and Tim Burton’s stop-motion sensibility, and that’s absolutely a compliment. Part gothic fairy tale, part horror-lite, the scares hit just right. It’s “just a film,” sure, but anyone who falls for Frankelda is going to want more. Worth your evening.

Welcome to the Spring 2026 Animation Season! Five Exciting Must-Watch Picks

From supernatural action to mythic fantasy and sci-fi wildcards, the Spring 2026 animation season is filled with a bit of everything for fans to enjoy, and we got our picks on what to tune into!

Spring 2026 animation seasonThis year, the streaming world has no shortage of animated works to dig into, which makes narrowing things down to what must be seen tough. What I chose to check out for the Spring 2026 animation season are based on what I will definitely check out because of the trailers made available. They do not include works which I’ve covered previously as they are standouts. As for the rest, these are somewhat seasonally filled to make the Easter long weekend just right.

A quick note: this list doesn’t include Witch Hat Atelier, which deserves its own spotlight rather than a slot in a seasonal roundup.

Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring
March 28, Crunchyroll

Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring

This one earns the “most literally Spring-themed release” award, and honestly, it wears that title well. Produced by WIT Studio, the series follows the Agents responsible for bringing the natural cycle back to the land, with the central focus on the return of the Agent of Spring after a decade-long disappearance.

WIT has a track record of making visually lush, emotionally grounded work, and a premise built around seasonal renewal feels like a natural fit for them. Whether the story lives up to that pedigree remains to be seen, but the setup alone has enough quiet intrigue to make this one worth checking in on early.

Ghost Concert: Missing Songs
April 5, Crunchyroll

Ghost Concert: Missing Songs

Every season needs at least one wildcard, and without something paranormal in the mix, this list wouldn’t feel right. Ghost Concert: Missing Songs is that pick. A music-driven sci-fi project built around “song battles,” it feels like a spiritual cousin to Symphogear, but with a more experimental edge. It blends performance, narrative, and spectacle in a way that could either become a cult favourite or something far stranger, and that unpredictability is its own selling point.

There’s something genuinely refreshing about anime that doesn’t fit a clean genre box. The risk is that “experimental” can sometimes mean “incoherent,” but if the execution holds, this could be the sleeper pick of the season.

My Brother the Minotaur
Apple TV+, April 24

My Brother the Minotaur

Cartoon Saloon can do no wrong, and this one is already fascinating on premise alone. The series draws from Greek legend, following a boy with obvious lineage as he tries to rediscover where he comes from.

Whether there’s any direct connection to Persephone and the return of warmer days is pure guesswork on my part, but knowing this studio’s instinct for finding the emotional core of mythology, a fresh retelling of Greek legend wouldn’t surprise me at all. The Minoan undertones feel seasonally appropriate regardless, and the cast alone, Brian Cox, Andy Serkis, and Michael Sheen, should say plenty about the kind of production this is shaping up to be.

Nippon Sangoku
April 5, Amazon Prime Video

Nippon Sangoku

This one takes the “Three Kingdoms” framework and transplants it into a fractured future Japan, reimagining the classic era as post-apocalyptic sci-fi. It’s a high-concept swing, one of history’s most retold narratives filtered through worldbuilding that sounds closer to the ragged wastelands of Trigun or Dorohedoro than anything traditionally historical.

The Amazon exclusivity puts it outside the Crunchyroll stack, but it’s worth flagging as a dark horse. Political intrigue and survival storytelling have long shelf lives, and grounding that in a recognizable historical structure gives it a narrative foundation that pure originals sometimes struggle to find.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm
April 4, Crunchyroll

Daemons of the Shadow Realm

BONES Studio is back with a supernatural action series, and this company’s track record earns immediate attention. The series centres on a pair of twins pulled into a conflict involving powerful supernatural entities, a premise that could go in a dozen different directions depending on execution.

This art house knows how to deliver in this space; Fullmetal Alchemist and Noragami are proof enough, and a twin-centred story opens up room for the kind of dynamic character work that makes the action land beyond just its fight choreography. Given the pedigree, this feels like one of the higher-profile bets of the season, and that seems earned.
