Last Call: 5 Incredible Anime Leaving Netflix in 2026

The Netflix catalog is revolving, but 2026 will bring painful losses for Japanese animation fans. According to data from What’s on Netflix, over one hundred titles are scheduled to leave the platform, including original productions and modern classics.

The problem is bigger than it seems: while some titles migrate to Crunchyroll, others are Netflix exclusives and may end up without legal distribution after removal. To avoid regrets, we’ve prepared the definitive list of what you need to binge-watch before the contracts expire.

1. Sirius the Jaeger (The Lost Media Risk)

• Leaving: April 6, 2026. If you like supernatural action, this is your number one priority. Produced by P.A. Works, the anime pits werewolves against vampires in 1930s Tokyo. The crucial detail: being a Netflix original, after it leaves, there is no other streaming platform confirmed to pick it up. Watch it now or risk missing it forever.

2. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

• Leaving: September 13, 2026. From the same director as the early seasons of Attack on Titan and WIT Studio. Imagine a steampunk zombie apocalypse where humanity survives on armored trains. The animation is visually stunning, and the soundtrack is epic. Fortunately, this title can likely still be found on Crunchyroll after its departure.

3. Forest of Piano (Piano no Mori)

• Leaving: September 28, 2026. Another exclusive in danger. This is a moving story about natural talent versus hard work, centered around an abandoned piano in the forest. It is an indispensable work for lovers of classical music and coming-of-age dramas. Like Sirius, its future outside Netflix is uncertain.

4. Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You

• Leaving: July 1, 2026. The irony is cruel: Netflix produced the long-awaited Season 3 in 2024, only for the licensing of the previous seasons to expire two years later. It is one of the sweetest and most important shoujo romances in history. Follow Sawako’s journey before she moves house (likely to Crunchyroll).

5. Mob Psycho 100 (Season 1)

• Leaving: May 22, 2026. A psychedelic masterpiece from Studio Bones and the creator of One-Punch Man. The story of Mob, a boy with god-like psychic powers who just wants to live a normal life, is one of the best animations of the last decade. If you haven’t seen it, May is your deadline on the red platform.

Currently available on: Netflix (until the dates mentioned).
