Introduction

As we approach the conclusion of the Winter 2026 anime season, this period boasts a total of 81 titles, including 69 TV programs (48 new releases and 21 sequels). This analysis aims to gather data on which shows have successfully maintained audience interest and to understand the changes observed this season.

This time, for the first time, we've included data from 12 theatrical works alongside TV shows. The purpose of this is straightforward: observing only TV shows risks overlooking the standout performances this season. Notably, the film with the highest fan score isn't part of a pre-existing IP but rather a completely original work. Ignoring this fact would be a disservice to understanding the Winter 2026 season.
