ABEMA, Japan's premier digital broadcasting platform, has officially pulled back the curtain on its comprehensive Autumn 2026 anime lineup. Delivering an expansive catalog for the upcoming season, the platform has confirmed that over 70 new and returning series will be broadcast and streamed completely free of charge for viewers across Japan.
The crown jewel of the autumn slate is a massive campaign for The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto). ABEMA has announced that all episodes—spanning from the first season up to the newest entries of the third season—will be available to stream entirely for free through the end of January, giving both veterans and newcomers an unmissable marathon opportunity.
Alongside the flagship series, the platform has secured exclusive and early-window distribution rights for several anticipated titles. So I'm a Spider, So What? II (Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita II) is slated for an exclusive terrestrial-leading broadcast one week ahead of standard television runs. Other high-profile acquisitions include the second season of When Not Working at the Weapon Shop, Isekai Life and fresh exclusive streaming windows for returning fan favorites.
From high-fantasy adaptations to long-awaited sequels like Blue Box Season 2 and The Dangers in My Heart successors, ABEMA's schedule covers every day of the week with simulcasts and free catch-up windows. Fans looking to curate their seasonal watchlists can explore the complete day-by-day broadcast calendar directly on the streaming service's official portal.
