It’s becoming chilly around, but that doesn’t stop the announcements from rolling out. The year may be ending, but we’ve also got some titles set-up for the arrival of 2026. Sorry again for the delayed release of this post.
Are you a fan of the infamous Oguri Cap? Renown for both her speed, victories, and insatiable stomach, the anthropomorphic version of the stallion received her own series that depicts her story alongside her rivals. The original manga, Cinderella Gray, started back in 2020, has now been animated with more to come. Grab a rice bowl, sit down, and get ready to cheer her on as she dashes past the starting gate onward for her win. Oguri Cap and friends will be receiving a full booster on February 13th, 2026.
Back for at least one more bonus round, the Assault Lily girls have returned to defend the world once more from any foreign threats. Catch Lily with her friends with a full booster release on February 27th, 2026.
A new unit has joined the fray to compete among the ranks of the already existing BanG Dream! units. However, something about the Mugendai Mewtype girls is a little off compared to their preexisting peers. Rather than appear in their physical form, the Mugendai Mewtype girls are actually virtual idols, preferring to perform from behind a screen. That won’t stop the influx of devoted virtual idol fans. Catch Mugendai Mewtype and their official debut on March 6th, 2025, with the release of a trial deck. There will be prepurchases available at the BanG Dream! 10th Anniversary Live.
A brand new IP that’s recently released this year in June, Virtual Girl@World’s End is a visual novel that is directly published by Bushiroad. Featuring a post apocalyptic setting, the story begins when a mysterious virtual idol by the name of Ai arrives in a desolate landscape ready to share her song. There are prepurchases that will be taking place at the BanG Dream! 10th Anniversary Live on February 28th, 2026. Releasing officially simultaneously on March 6th, 2026 with BanG Dream! Mugendai Mewtype with its own extra booster, the series is Neo-Standard with that series as well.
The famous visual novel makes a novel return with its remake coming soon. Come learn the stories and secrets of the strange Hatsunejima, an island where sakura petals flutter endlessly without delay all year round. Junichi attends Kazami High with his stepsister Nemu, a place where he encounters and meets new and old friends. With a mix of comedy and romance, Da Capo is sure to give your heartstrings a bit of a nudge. Da Capo Re:Tune will be receiving its own full booster on March 13th, 2026.
Readying for an encore, Bunny Girl returns with another entry to the series with the this full booster release on March 27th, 2026. Mai and friends return with another entry to their tale. The cast has grown up and is now attending university. With their entry into adulthood, new troubles alongside new experiences are bound to appear for the already existing Bunny Girl cast.
A new entry into the Key family of visual novels, anemoi follows a brother and sister duo who return to their childhood town while meeting charming folks new and old and opening a special time capsule. Not much is yet known about the visual novel, but make sure to keep an eye out if the premise interests you. There is a trial deck release coming on April 10th, 2026 and a full booster to follow down the road.
Speaking of Key series, Summer Pockets‘ anime received its own full booster coming out simultaneously on the same day (April 10th, 2026) as the trial deck for Anemoi. Hairi has come to an island that was inhabited by his late grandmother. He has returned to handle the affairs of her estate, but while doing so, he becomes enamoured by the many interesting inhabitants of the island alongside some unique and special magical secrets.
Last but not the least, bring out your light sticks and begin to wave them in the air. Million Live, the last of the Idolm@ster series to receive support now has an official date of its release. Million Live is a spin-off that exists in the same universe of 765 Productions (original Idolm@ster). Combining their efforts, the Million Live girls share their own individual stories as they reach for the stars above them and become fully-fledged idols.
