We discuss our spoiler-free Winter 2026 anime first impressions. The new year is coming in strong with great shows, including several solid romance anime. We share our thoughts on the final season of Golden Kamuy, why Hana-Kimi isn’t living up to expectations, whether the title Tamon’s B-Side makes sense to younger generations, and much more.
