If the first half of 2026 felt like a good year for anime fans, July is here to prove the momentum isn’t slowing down. Netflix just dropped its full anime slate for the month, and it’s a genuinely exciting mix of originals, licensed hits, and long-awaited returns.
Leading the charge is “Daemons of the Shadow Realm,” a dark fantasy adaptation from Fullmetal Alchemist creator Hiromu Arakawa that fans have waited over five years to see animated. Alongside it, “Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1” makes its global streaming debut, while “One Piece” continues its dominant run with a new arc and a special episode.’

Why This Month Stands Out
The biggest headline is easily “Daemons of the Shadow Realm,” based on Arakawa’s manga that first debuted back in 2021. It follows twin siblings separated by fate — one forced into hunting duties, the other bound to a hidden ritual — whose lives unravel after a deadly attack on their village. The series had already been streaming on Crunchyroll but now gets a full worldwide release with multiple dub options.
“Jujutsu Kaisen” also continues its rapid turnaround, arriving on Netflix just months after wrapping its Japanese broadcast — a sign of how Netflix’s growing partnership with major Japanese studios is reshaping the pace of global anime releases.
Meanwhile, “One Piece” fans get a double treat: the Elbaf Arc’s first cour wraps up, and a new “Heroines” special spotlighting Nami rounds things out mid-month.
