The Fall 2026 anime season is rapidly approaching, and international fan communities have spoken regarding their most anticipated titles. Leading the charge with 16.42% of the total votes, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 secured the top spot in a massive community poll conducted by Anime Corner. Hot on its heels is The Apothecary Diaries Season 3, which captured 15.16% of the ballots, creating a distinct two-horse race at the summit of the rankings.
With a narrow margin of just 1.26 percentage points separating the top two heavyweights from the rest of the pack, anticipation for these returning juggernauts remains exceptionally high. Meanwhile, Blue Box Season 2 claimed third place with 6.29%, followed closely by Black Clover Season 2 at 5.47% and The Ramparts of Ice Season 2 rounding out the top five with 4.30% of the recorded votes.
The Rest of the Top Ten
Further down the leaderboards, notable upcoming projects and brand-new adaptations also made their mark. Firefly Wedding emerged as the highest-ranking newcomer at sixth place with 3.30%, narrowly edging out Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 at 3.24%. The remaining spots in the top ten were filled by perennial favorites and long-awaited continuations, including Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run 2nd – 3rd STAGE, and The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2.
The extensive survey gathered feedback from 7,601 participants between September 9 and September 24. While these results reflect community sentiment ahead of the season's official premiere, weekly voting polls will officially commence on October 2, tracking audience reactions and shifting favorites as the broadcast schedule unfolds.
