June is finally here, which means anime fans need another list of exciting series and films to watch. As the Spring 2026 anime season draws to a close, fans prepare for the exciting Summer lineup, which includes major sequels and some of the most anticipated debuts. While the new anime lineup is still a month away, luckily, Netflix‘s library is expanding by the day, and there are several exciting stories fans can explore each month. It’s the last month of the Spring 2026 anime season, which means that there’s not a lot of new series coming to the platform.
Instead, Netflix is adding already existing shows to the library to localize some fan-favorite stories. Regardless, the platform has more than enough shows and films to keep you occupied for the whole month.
