Crunchyroll has officially revealed its Summer 2026 anime season simulcast calendar, and it is packed. The platform is bringing over 50 new and continuing titles to Singapore starting 24 June 2026, with new premieres rolling out nearly every day through August. Whether you are into dark fantasy action, isekai, mecha strategy, or romance, there is something in this lineup for you.

Last Words
It has been a big June for anime announcements, and Crunchyroll’s Summer 2026 calendar is the clearest picture yet of what Singapore fans can look forward to from now through August. BLACK TORCH and KAIJU GIRL CARAMELISE are the two new debuts we are watching most closely, while the return of Mushoku Tensei, Skeleton Knight, and the ongoing One Piece Elbaph arc should keep watchlists full.
