Wistoria Tops Spring 2026 Final Anime Corner Poll as Season Wraps Up

Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 closed out the Spring 2026 anime season on top, capturing first place in the final Week 12 community poll with 8.18 percent of over 4,000 worldwide votes. Witch Hat Atelier and Classroom of the Elite IV rounded out the podium.

Wistoria Finishes Strong With Third Weekly Win

The fantasy action series reclaimed the number-one position it had held twice earlier in the season, finishing Spring 2026 as one of the most consistently dominant titles in the weekly rankings. Wistoria earned 8.18 percent of the vote, a comfortable margin over second-place Witch Hat Atelier at 6.19 percent. The series adaptation of Toshi Aoi and Fujino Omori's manga had built steady momentum throughout its second season, and the final episodes clearly resonated with voters.

Witch Hat Atelier's return to the runner-up slot capped an impressive debut season for the adaptation of Kamome Shirahama's manga. The series had floated in and out of the top three across multiple weeks, and its strong finish underscores the show's broad appeal among fantasy fans. Classroom of the Elite IV held firm at third place with 5.00 percent, continuing its reliable presence near the top of the charts throughout the spring.

The Full Top Ten

Behind the top three, the final rankings featured a mix of long-running sequels and breakout newcomers:

4th I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class (4.54%): The romantic comedy hit a new season-high position in its closing week.

5th That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 (4.40%): The isekai juggernaut maintained a steady presence throughout the cour.

6th Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3 (3.66%): Senku's final arc continued to draw loyal viewers.

7th Marriagetoxin (3.58%): The dark comedy assassin series held its ground in the upper half.

8th Daemons of the Shadow Realm (3.29%): Osamu Tezuka's reimagined classic carved out a niche audience.

9th The Ramparts of Ice (3.09%): The historical drama kept its late-season momentum.

10th Agents of the Four Seasons (2.95%): The action thriller rounded out the list in its closing stretch.

What the Final Poll Signals

The Week 12 results highlight how the Spring 2026 season balanced established sequels with fresh adaptations. Wistoria and Slime represented the sequel side, while Witch Hat Atelier and Marriagetoxin proved that new properties can compete head-to-head with franchise heavyweights when the source material is strong.

Notably, the tight margins across the board just over five percentage points separating first from tenth reflect a season where no single title dominated the conversation unchallenged. That competitive depth bodes well for viewer engagement heading into the Summer 2026 lineup.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 is available on Crunchyroll, as are several other titles from the Spring 2026 top ten. A third season for the series has already been confirmed, ensuring the franchise will continue its upward trajectory in a future season.
