The anime series just keeps going and going, with well over 1000 episodes under its belt and many more coming down the pipeline, including the current Elbaph arc being adapted for season 22.

description: You don’t always need a piece of this.
encoded: Now officially over the 1150 episode mark, One Piece fans old and new definitely need a dedicated filler list to navigate the hit anime adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's legendary manga — especially for its earlier arcs. Before the more manga-faithful modern seasons on Crunchyroll or the beloved live-action adaptation by Netflix, filler episodes (or part-filler) were part of the norm for anime like One Piece, so that the series' coverage of the source material would slow down and give its mangakas (manga artists) time to create more chapters or said show to adapt. Even if you're binging episodes at a time, there's no real way to tell you're about to watch One Piece filler until you're already some minutes in. In order to help reduce the trial and error, and help you get through the canon manga-faithful timeline as fast as possible, here's the complete list breaking down all skippable filler One Piece episodes, mixed canon and filler episodes, and those purely canon. Which One Piece episodes are purely skippable filler? After confirming reports by Crunchyroll and Anime Filler List, the complete list of One Piece episodes that are entirely skippable filler is as follows: Episodes 54-60: Warship Island arc Episodes 98-99: Arabasta arc Episode 102: Arabasta arc Episodes 131-135: Post-Arabasta arc Episodes 136-138: Goat Island arc Episodes 139-143: Ruluka Island arc Episodes 196-206: G-8 arc Episodes 220-225: Ocean’s Dream arc Episodes 279-283: Enies Lobby Arc Episodes 291-292: Enies Lobby Arc Episode 303: Enies Lobby Arc Episodes 317-319: Post-Enies Lobby Arc Episodes 326-336: Ice Hunter arc Episodes 382-384: Spa Island arc Episodes 406-407: Boss Luffy arc Episodes 426-429: Little East Blue arc Episodes 457-458: Marineford arc Episode 492: Post-War arc Episode 542: Fish-Man Island arc Episodes 575-578: Z’s Ambition arc Episode 590: Punk Hazard arc Episodes 626-627: Caesar’s Retrieval arc Episodes 747-750: Silver Mine arc Episodes 780-782: Marine Rookie arc Episodes 895-896: …

After a long wait, the anime made a return earlier this year, with Yuji Itadori and his allies forced into the Kenjaku's deadly tournament of sorcerers. Just like season 2, the Culling Game Arc has been split up into two halves to maintain the high-quality animation fans have become accustomed to. Now, following an extended finale to show off the Sendai Colony battle, fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next – here's what you need to know about Jujutsu Kaisen season 4, when The Culling Games Part 2 could begin, and what happened to season 3 part 2. When could Jujutsu Kaisen season 4 be released? Although we don't have a confirmed release date for The Culling Game Part 2, there are some clues that point to when the next season could arrive. Initially, it had been expected that season 3 would follow a similar release pattern to season 2, which was split into two halves with a three-month hiatus in-between. This led fans to suspect that, for The Culling Games, we could expect a summer 2026 release window, with Part 2 kicking off in or around July 2026. However, it now appears more likely that we can expect a later release date. The time slot previously occupied on Japanese television by Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 has already been filled by other series for the rest of 2026. That would mean the earliest time JJK could reclaim that spot for season 4 would be in early 2027. This is, of course, all purely speculation, and we will be waiting on official confirmation from Studio MAPPA before we know for sure. What happened to Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 part 2? View Green Video on the source website Originally, Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 was expected to be split into two parts, like with season 2. This led to fans expecting that, following the airing of episode 12 in the latest season, we could expect episode 13 to air fairly soon after. Unfortunately, it appear…

description: And why studio A-1 pictures could take a while.
encoded: Fate/strange Fake season 2 is already on fans’ minds after the finale of season 1, which saw the Fate series adapt the Holy Grail War. With Masters and Servants colliding in Snowfield, Nevada, and the scale of the conflict only getting bigger with each new development (and more source material to cover), the series has made a strong case for a longer future on screen. Thankfully, season 2 has already been confirmed, with a new teaser being released after season 1's finale. Here's everything we know so far. When could Fate/strange Fake season 2 be released? For now, any Fate/strange Fake 2 release date is purely speculative, but with no official announcement yet, the very earliest we could see a new batch of episodes is 2027 – but that’s only if it were to launch late in that year. That said, we predict we won’t see Fate/strange Fake season 2 until at least 2028, due to the already stacked anime output studio A-1 Pictures has for 2027 and beyond: the anime adaptation of Bless, season 3 of Mashle: Magic and Muscles, and season 2 of Too Many Losing Heroines! for a TBA window. View oEmbed on the source website It was confirmed that the show will continue in March 2026, with the anime's official social media sharing a teaser image and a caption reading: "Something big is coming..." What could the plot of Fate/strange Fake season 2 be about? View oEmbed on the source website It would likely move the anime beyond its current dream-realm storyline and into the more explosive later novels, where the battle for Snowfield becomes far more intense. Without getting into major spoilers, that would mean bigger faction clashes, more focus on the war’s hidden masterminds, and long-teased characters finally stepping into more pivotal roles. The Fate/strange Fake anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll. Check out more of our Fantasy coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

description: The Culling Games are about to begin!
encoded: Fans had to wait a long time for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 to arrive, and now the first chapter of its latest instalment has officially come to a close – ending on one of the most anticipated battles of the Culling Game arc. The anime returned earlier this year with the highly anticipated Culling Game arc, and the action has escalated with each episode, as Yuji Itadori and his allies fought to survive Kenjaku’s deadly sorcerer tournament. Fans were even treated to a closing extended episode, culminating in the Sendai Colony battle, a showdown that was widely considered as one of the most anticipated sequences of the Culling Game storyline. The dark, supernatural action anime based on the equally popular manga series by Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori as he learns to wield jujutsu sorcery. After eating a cursed finger to save his classmate, Yuji gains supernatural powers and is enrolled in Tokyo Jujutsu High School to develop his skills and fight cursed spirits. Season 3 picked up the story with the brutal Culling Game, where sorcerers are forced to fight across deadly colonies in Japan in order to survive - with the escalating battles playing out across Tokyo Colony No.1 and culminating in the Sendai Colony showdown. With Season 3 Part 1 now at an end, fans may be wondering when the story will continue - so here’s everything you need to know about Jujutsu Kaisen season 3’s release schedule. Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 release schedule: When is episode 13 out? While an official release date for The Culling Game Part 2 has yet to be confirmed by Crunchyroll or MAPPA, there are some strong clues about when the series could return. If season 3 follows a similar release pattern to season 2 - which was split into two cours with a break in between - it’s likely that Part 2 will arrive after a standard three-month hiatus. Based on this schedule, a summer 2026 release window (likely July 2026) would traditionally be expected. However, recent reports suggest that …

description: Including the earliest possible release window.
encoded: The first run of the Sentenced to Be a Hero anime has now reached the end of its opening chapter, with episode 12 closing out its season 1 run – leaving fans to immediately wonder if a season 2 is on the cards. After its 60-minute premiere special on 3 January 2026, the series settled into a weekly Thursday schedule from episode 2 onwards, bringing its first season to a close on 26 March. With both the manga and original light novel still going, it’s natural to ask whether there’ll be more of Xylo Forbartz and Teoritta’s brutal dark fantasy world to come. Here is everything we know so far about the potential for a Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2. Will there be Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2? At the time of writing, Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2 has not been officially announced. The anime’s official website and news archive do not currently list a second season renewal, so any talk of a follow-up remains speculation for now. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean the story is over. As many fans of the franchise will know, Rocket Shokai’s original light novel series is already up to volume 8, which means there is source material available for the anime to continue adapting if the production committee decides to move ahead. When could Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2 be released? If the series does return, fans probably shouldn’t expect Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2 too quickly, with a potential season 2 arriving in 2027 at the very earliest. The anime was originally due to launch in October 2025 before being pushed back to January 2026 in order to improve the overall quality of the production, as previously confirmed by Crunchyroll. That earlier delay suggests the team is willing to take its time with the series, so a 2027 release feels like the absolute earliest a second season might arrive. That is still only an educated guess, rather than an announced release window. What could Sentenced to Be a Hero season 2 be about? View oEmbed on the source website Without v…

Will there be an Oshi No Ko season 4?

description: What a fourth season could involve now that the third is at the endpoint.
encoded: With Oshi No Ko season 3 wrapping up as of 25 March, with its one-hour special for episode 35, whether there will be a season 4 is surely the next major question on many fans’ minds. Based on the manga by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, the anime has become a major modern anime hit – there’s one major difference between this and other series like Frieren, Oshi No Ko’s source material has already finished, with the manga ending in November 2024. With that, it’s easy to wonder naturally, fans are already wondering what comes next for Aqua, Ruby, and the rest of the cast, as we know there are more adventures to be had. Has an Oshi No Ko season 4 been confirmed? At the time of writing, Oshi No Ko has not officially been renewed for season 4. The anime’s official website is currently centred on season 3 news, including its finale, with no fourth season announcement listed just yet. That said, a renewal certainly wouldn’t be a surprise. Season 3 was officially announced in October 2024, and with the manga already complete, the anime team now has a full story to work from. That doesn’t confirm season 4, of course — but it does make the chances feel strong. When could a potential Oshi No Ko season 4 be released? If Oshi No Ko is renewed for season 4, we wouldn’t expect it to arrive especially quickly. The first season aired from April to June 2023, the second aired from July to October 2024, and the third began in January 2026. Based on that pattern, 2027 feels like the absolute earliest a fourth season of Oshi No Ko could arrive — and even that is only speculation for now. A 2028 release wouldn’t be out of the question either, depending on the scale of the adaptation and production schedule. For now, though, that remains educated guesswork until an official announcement is made. What could a potential Oshi No Ko season 4 be about? As for what the potential season could cover, based on where season 3 seems to be ending, season 4 would likely focus on the rest of The 15-Year…

description: Season 2 had a considerably shorter run than season 1 - but what's next?
encoded: It's been a short run for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2, with the season coming to an end after just 10 episodes (compared to season 1's 28). The anime, which follows immortal elf mage Frieren on her journey to the resting place of souls, has proven a popular adaptation of the widely-loved manga. So, naturally, fans are looking to the future of the anime - but it looks like they're going to have a long wait ahead of them for any more episodes. Here's everything we know so far about the future of the anime - and whether there will be a season 3. Will there be a Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 3? Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has not yet been renewed for season 3 and, if it is, the episodes likely won't be coming any time soon. The manga has been on an indefinite hiatus since October 2025, reportedly due to its creators, Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe focusing on their health. While nothing has been confirmed, it seems unlikely that a season 3 will be announced while this hiatus is ongoing. When could a potential Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 3 be released? If Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is renewed for season 3, we wouldn't expect to see it any earlier than 2028. Even before the manga hiatus, season 2 premiered almost two and a half years after season 1. We'd expect that timeline to continue - and for there to potentially be a delay on top of that too. View oEmbed on the source website What is the plot of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? The official synopsis for the show reads: "After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity’s mortality. "She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfil old friends’ dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out." As for what season 3 could cover? We'll have to wait until new chapters of the…

description: And whether you need to see it all before Steel Ball Run.
encoded: Figuring out how to watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in order can feel oddly daunting at first, especially now that Steel Ball Run (the seventh story arc in the franchise) has started on Netflix. Between the changing protagonists, the different subtitles, and the franchise’s habit of reinventing itself every few arcs, it is easy to see why so many viewers end up searching for the right JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure watch order — being sure that nothing important is missed. The good news is that the anime is much less confusing than its reputation suggests. Once you know how the series is organised, the canon order to watch JoJo becomes far clearer — and there is a simple way to tackle it without missing any of the big character moments or the stranger twists along the way. How to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in order For anyone wondering what order to watch the JoJo anime in, the cleanest answer is to follow the main parts in release order. The official anime portal lists the franchise across six numbered TV seasons, beginning with Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency in the first season, then moving through Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, Stone Ocean, and now Steel Ball Run. That means the canon JoJo order to watch is: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Do you have to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in order? To understand and enjoy each separate season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, you don’t need to watch the show in the exact order before Steel Ball Run, but it does become slightly easier to understand the overarching story if you do. This is because each part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has its own central cast, its own setting, and its own immediate conflict going on as part of the plot, which…

encoded: The countdown to One Piece’s anime return is nearly over, and the sense of anticipation around Elbaph has only continued to grow, especially now that two new casting announcements have been revealed. After months away from screens, the series is set to resume on 5 April in Japan, picking up with one of the manga’s most long-awaited storylines and ushering in the next phase of the Straw Hats' adventure. That comeback already feels like a major event in itself, especially after the franchise confirmed a three-month break from January to March 2026 as part of a broader production shake-up. Now, with the premiere drawing closer, fans have another reason to get excited. View oEmbed on the source website In a post shared by the series’ official X account, One Piece confirmed that Ayane Sakura will voice Gerd, while Ryota Takeuchi will play Road in the upcoming Elbaph arc. In the manga, Gerd and Road aren’t just random new faces for the anime. Both are giants from Elbaph and are tied to the New Giant Warrior Pirates, the crew led by Hajrudin. Gerd serves as the crew’s doctor, while Road is its navigator It’s a smart bit of casting, too, given the experience of both of these voice actors. Many anime fans will already know Sakura for roles including Ochaco Uraraka in My Hero Academia and Fiona Frost in Spy x Family, while Takeuchi is well known for playing Elias Ainsworth in The Ancient Magus’ Bride and Wakatoshi Ushijima in Haikyu!!. View oEmbed on the source website The same announcement also said comments from both performers will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 18, which goes on sale on 30 March. Elbaph has been teased for years in the wider One Piece story, especially since the Egghead Arc ended after episode 1155. With the Straw Hats finally about to visit the home of Dorry and Brogy, who many Netflix fans will have seen for the first time in season 2 of the live-action One Piece show, this new anime season is about to get even more action-packed.

Based on the comic books by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Invincible has never failed to attract A-list talent to its cast – and season 4 is no exception!
