Crunchyroll added 13 anime simulcasts to its Summer and Fall 2026 lineup, headlined by The Apothecary Diaries Season 3, Gachiakuta Season 2, Overgeared, and Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2.
Crunchyroll announced 13 new simulcast acquisitions spanning the Summer and Fall 2026 seasons, significantly expanding its upcoming slate with a mix of sequels, new adaptations, and webtoon-based series.
The July lineup features several high-profile titles. Goodbye, Lara premieres on July 5, followed by I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand on July 6, and Tomb Raider King on July 8. Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2, one of the most anticipated returning series this year, is also set for a July debut alongside The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power, The Ogre's Bride, The Villager of Level 999, and Victoria of Many Faces.
The summer batch covers a wide range of genres, from military fantasy in Tanya to isekai and romance. Tomb Raider King, adapted from the popular Korean webtoon, brings a dungeon-crawling action premise to the season, while Goodbye, Lara adds an emotional drama entry to the schedule.
The October window is anchored by two major titles. The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 will air its first cour starting in October 2026, with a second cour following in April 2027. The split-cour format mirrors the approach taken by many high-profile anime productions in recent years. Overgeared, the webtoon adaptation produced by J.C. Staff, is also slated for an October premiere. Firefly Wedding rounds out the confirmed Fall entries.
Two additional titles sit in the broader 2026 window without firm seasonal dates. Gachiakuta Season 2, continuing the underground action series, carries a to-be-announced premiere date. Sasaki and Peeps Season 2, the returning isekai comedy, is confirmed for 2026 but lacks a specific month.
The complete list of 13 acquisitions breaks down as follows:
July 2026: Goodbye, Lara; I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand; Tomb Raider King; Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2; The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power; The Ogre's Bride; The Villager of Level 999; Victoria of Many Faces
October 2026: The Apothecary Diaries Season 3; Overgeared; Firefly Wedding
2026 (TBA): Gachiakuta Season 2; Sasaki and Peeps Season 2
Crunchyroll remains one of the primary simulcast destinations available to Indian anime fans. All 13 titles are expected to stream globally on the platform, meaning Indian subscribers should have access to each series on its respective premiere date. With The Apothecary Diaries and Saga of Tanya the Evil both carrying strong existing fanbases in the region, these additions strengthen an already loaded second half of 2026.
The batch announcement signals an aggressive licensing push from Crunchyroll heading into what is shaping up to be one of the most stacked anime seasons in recent memory. Viewers can expect the July premieres to begin rolling out within the next month.
