MyAnimeList user scores as of mid-April 2026 put Witch Hat Atelier at the top of the Spring 2026 season with an 8.74 community score, followed by Re:Zero Season 4 at 8.69 and Dr. Stone Science Future Part 3 at 8.30.
MyAnimeList's community scores for the Spring 2026 TV anime season place Witch Hat Atelier at the top with an 8.74 rating, based on several weeks of user votes following the April 6 premiere. Re:Zero Season 4 is in second with 8.69. The ranking below reflects TV anime scores tracked on MyAnimeList as of mid-April 2026, with each entry's studio and score captured in the current season snapshot.
Animated by BUG FILMS, Witch Hat Atelier adapts Kamome Shirahama's manga about a young girl accepted into a secret society of magic users. The premiere has driven strong early scores, with the show's visual design and pacing cited as primary drivers across community reactions.
White Fox is producing the fourth season of Re:Zero. The season opened with a split-cour structure announced ahead of broadcast, spanning 19 episodes across two arcs. The series returns after a multi-year gap following Season 3, which closed in 2024.
TMS Entertainment is handling Dr. Stone's final run. Part 3 is the concluding arc of the series and is expected to adapt the remaining manga chapters through the end of the source material.
Lerche's adaptation of Shogo Kinugasa's light novel returned for its fourth season with a 90-minute premiere. The season covers the second-year arc of the source material, which represents a hard reset of the cast's hierarchy in-universe.
8bit's Slime continues with a five-cour commitment announced ahead of broadcast. The season picks up from Season 3's closing arc and is one of the longest planned runs for a single Slime cour block to date.
Bones Film is adapting the dark fantasy manga. The series features twin protagonists tied to mirrored opposing forces and is being positioned as a slow-burn ensemble piece.
Wit Studio's Bookworm has drawn significant attention in its premiere week, with discussion around the studio's April 10 apology for generative AI use in the opening sequence. The 8.03 score reflects voter response to the episode content itself rather than the studio communication.
Bandai Namco Pictures continues the franchise's television run. Season 4 adapts the later school arcs from the source manga.
Zexcs is animating the rakugo-focused series, adapted from Yuki Suenaga and Takamasa Moue's Shonen Jump manga. The April 4 premiere drew strong global streaming availability through multiple platforms.
Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures are co-producing the second season. The season continues Will's academy arc from where Season 1 left off, with Mai Nakahara joining the returning cast.
MyAnimeList user scores remain provisional during a cour's first few weeks. Vote volume and score dispersion stabilize by roughly the sixth or seventh episode. Early-week scores tend to cluster high because the initial voter pool skews toward committed fans of the source material, with casual viewers joining the voting population later in the season.
Witch Hat Atelier's 8.74 and Re:Zero's 8.69 are close enough that re-rank swaps are possible through the first half of the season as wider audiences vote. The three 8.03 entries are also effectively tied; small movements in vote counts will shuffle those positions week to week.
Nine of the ten series on this list are streaming in India through Crunchyroll as part of the platform's Spring 2026 simulcast slate. Re:Zero Season 4 and Witch Hat Atelier in particular have built audiences through Crunchyroll India's Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dub rotation, alongside the original Japanese audio with English subtitles.
