Summer is heating up, and so are the anime lineups on Netflix and Crunchyroll. July 2026 brings a mix of fresh premieres and long-awaited returns, from the sci-fi mystery of MEBIUS DUST to the romantic charm of You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2. Whether you're into isekai adventures, supernatural action, or heartfelt slice-of-life stories, there's something for every fan this month.
You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2
This beloved romance returns after its debut earlier this year, continuing the story of Miyu Suzuki and Yuusuke Tani. Suzuki is outgoing and anxious about others' opinions, while Tani is quiet and unbothered by social norms. Their unlikely friendship blossoms into romance, and Season 2 explores the highs and lows of young love, with classmates also confronting their own feelings. Based on Kōcha Agasawa's manga, the series balances humor with the awkwardness and emotional growth of first love.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3
Widely regarded as a genre-defining isekai, Mushoku Tensei returns for its third season. The story follows a 34-year-old shut-in reborn as Rudeus Greyrat in a magical world. Retaining his past memories, he vows to live without regrets. Season 3 continues his journey with new adventures, deepening relationships, and formidable enemies.
Sparks of Tomorrow
One of the most anticipated premieres of the summer, Sparks of Tomorrow is set in an alternate history where steam power dominates. Kyoto is shrouded in smoke, and a boy who lost his brother meets a girl grieving her mother. They are drawn together by the mysterious 20th Century Electrical Catalog, which hints at a future powered by electricity. This visually stunning series from Kyoto Animation blends emotional storytelling with an imaginative setting.
Tomb Raider King
If you're craving action-packed fantasy like Solo Leveling, Tomb Raider King delivers. Adapted from a hit Korean web novel, the story follows elite relic raider Goriki Ryoga, who is betrayed and left for dead. He is sent back in time before mysterious tombs appear, each containing godlike artifacts. Armed with future knowledge, he races to raid every tomb for revenge. This fast-paced adventure blends supernatural relics and time-travel.
MEBIUS DUST
For fans of sci-fi and mystery, MEBIUS DUST is a must-watch. A decade after a meteorite strike, people known as Rams Carriers awaken superhuman abilities called Rams. But they can only survive while exposed to Mebius Dust, a substance from a massive crystal that confines them to the town of Shinkatsushika. The series explores the cost of extraordinary powers in a world shaped by catastrophe.
Other highlights include new episodes of Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World Season 4 Part 2, which continues Subaru's harrowing journey.
