'Dorohedoro' Season 2 & 4 Other Most Anticipated Anime Titles to Be Released in April

Spring is a time of renewal when nature awakens, the sun shines brighter and when the anime season becomes especially intense. Several long-awaited premieres are coming in April 2026, and we are already eager to watch them.

The main event is the second season of Dorohedoro, the dark, bloody, and stylish story about a world where sorcerers experiment on humans.

1. 'Dorohedoro' Season 2

Release Date: April 1, 2026

After six years of waiting, fans will finally get to see new episodes of Dorohedoro. Originally scheduled for release in 2025, the title was pushed back to spring 2026.

Like everyone else, we're eagerly awaiting the premiere and will definitely be following the new adventures of the amnesiac reptile and the corpse collector who helps him regain his memories.

2. 'Daemons of the Shadow Realm'

Release Date: April 4, 2026

This is an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Hiromu Arakawa, creator of the cult classic Fullmetal Alchemist. The story follows a nature-loving boy whose village is attacked and whose sister dies.

It is then revealed that there are spirits that can be controlled by a select few, and he is one of them.

Bones, a subsidiary of the studio responsible for the beloved Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, is making the title so the mangaka's new work is in good hands.

3. 'Witch Hat Atelier'

Release Date: April 6, 2026

Without exaggeration, Witch Hat Atelier is the most highly anticipated new anime of the year. Based on Kamome Shirahama's manga of the same name, the story follows Coco, a girl who dreams of becoming a sorceress despite being taught since childhood that the gift must be inherited.

The studio behind the production has only one title in its library that experienced release issues, which is concerning.

4. 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' Season 4

Release Date: April 3, 2026

The day after the release of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea, you can continue the celebration by watching the main story about Rimuru.

Although there's some title fatigue, the plot is still engaging. The new season has been split into two parts, so hopefully, there will be enough good content to keep us motivated to wait for the next one.

5. 'Akane-Banashi'

Release Date: April 4, 2026

Rakugo is a complex theatrical art form in which one person narrates a story while assuming multiple roles. Akane has admired her father since childhood – he devoted himself entirely to his profession.

However, he never achieved the title of shinuchi, the highest rank of master, which requires years of training, practice, and recognition. Now, Akane has decided to follow in her father's footsteps and achieve this goal for him.

This intriguing title offers a closer look at the traditional Japanese art of storytelling. To fully appreciate the work of the seiyuu, it's recommended to watch the title in the original language, which is crucial here, given the voice acting.
