This week on ANIME+, we're packed with premieres, power-ups, and a few unexpected delays!

📱 Shonen Jump+ is leveling up—a brand-new mobile game based on the manga platform hits phones this fall. What can fans expect? We break it down.

🛡️ Sentenced to Be a Hero is now sentenced to wait—the anime's debut has been pushed to January 2026. But don’t worry, there’s plenty more coming that year.

💬 "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" is officially back! Season 2 of the sweet rom-com lands in 2026, alongside some other heavy hitters:

• BLEACH: The Calamity continues the Thousand-Year Blood War in 2026
• GATE returns with a new sequel based on the “Season 2” novels
• Beastars roars back with the final part of its last season
• Ascendance of a Bookworm continues with Adopted Daughter of an Archduke in Spring 2026
• Rooster Fighter drops a trailer + confirms a Spring 2026 premiere
• Wistoria: Wand and Sword S2, Reincarnated as a Sword S2, and Record of Ragnarok S3 all got debut windows

⚔️ We also talk about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—a surprise 10-episode sequel is headed to Netflix, and it's got Night City fans buzzing.

Plus:

📚 Daemons of the Shadow Realm, the new anime based on Hiromu Arakawa's manga

🎭 The Vermillion Mask, The 100th Time’s the Charm, Black Clover’s new season, and the beautifully titled The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, which drops worldwide on Netflix this September

And finally—🔮 Gachiakuta is going marathon-mode: a full 6-month run with no breaks.
