7 Best Anime You Can Binge This Week (April 13-17)

We get that being an anime fan is tough, especially when you are choosing what to and what not to watch while on a busy everyday schedule. You want help planning it out? We’ve got you with our new weekly recommendations series on which anime to binge after every hectic day of the week.

From long-running pirate adventures with One Piece to the unique take on the concept of “Heroes” with Sentenced to Be a Hero, here’s our anime suggestions for this week (April 13-17), that you can binge once you hit the screens.

1 Sentenced to Be a Hero

If you are someone who likes to binge entire seasons of anime without the weekly release schedule waiting time, Sentenced to Be a Hero is the perfect watch for you. The anime’s Season 1 aired earlier this year and ended on March 26, 2026, with every episode available to stream in one go.

The anime series by Studio Kai takes the concept of “Hero” and changes the traditional orthodox perspective; being a hero is no longer a glorified title, but a punishment. Heroes are expendable soldiers who live for only one thing and one thing only – to fight, die, and be reborn to continue the cycle again.

2 That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

For viewers looking for a modern-day long-term Isekai series to start, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime or TenSura is one of the best we’d recommend this week. The series has everything you want from a classic Isekai troupe and then some more – comedy, action, thrill, adventure, worldbuilding, and diplomacy. There’s also a special treat for the fans of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime series, at least for those who are unaware.

The series returned recently in 2026 and is currently airing Season 4 of the anime. With two episodes of the ongoing season already released, TenSura Season 4 Episode 3 is scheduled for release this Friday.

3 Witch Hat Atelier

A relatively new series streaming on Crunchyroll, we highly recommend the Witch Hat Atelier anime series for viewers who love a bit of fantasy and magic. Backed by beautiful animation from Studio Bug Films, the series is the perfect laid-back, relaxed watch with subtle hints of intensity to keep the adrenaline running.

As of now, the first two episodes of the anime are out, and we are sitting on Episode 3, scheduled to release today, on April 13, 2026. This is a great watch for anime fans who liked series like Secrets of the Silent Witch and Delicious in Dungeon from last year.

4 Marriagetoxin

One of this year’s latest releases on Crunchyroll, the Marriagetoxin series by Bones Film Inc., is a must-watch if you are a sucker for the rom-com anime genre. Furthermore, the shonen series blends action and drama so beautifully that at times, simple everyday concepts feel mesmerizing.

Being a Bones Film production, the animation is impeccable and really interactive. The anime aired on April 7, 2026, and the upcoming episode is scheduled for tomorrow, April 14, 2026.

5 One Piece: Elbaph Arc

For those who are hardcore fans of the Big 3 of shonen anime, One Piece is back! Following the pirate adventures of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, the crew makes their way to the historical island of the giants, Elbaph Island.

This single journey marks the beginning of the end for the 1999 anime series. If you haven’t already, it’s high time to catch up with the ongoing episodes of the Elbaph Arc before the next episode releases.

6 Daemons of the Shadow Realm

There was a lot of buzz about this anime being the next Fullmetal Alchemist before it even aired, and now we know why Daemons of the Shadow Realm was hyped up so much.

From cinematic animation quality to an intriguing storyline, the series offers action, adventure, comedy, and fantasy. With two episodes out, it’s best to catch up before Episode 3 of the ongoing anime series.

7 Liar Game

Every psychological thriller anime fan should definitely watch the Liar Game anime by Studio Madhouse, especially if you are a fan of Squid Game. The Liar Game is a psychological game of lying and deception to rack up hefty prize money, featuring one of the most honest characters as the MC.

After years of anticipation, the anime was finally released last Monday, April 6, 2026, and Episode 2 is scheduled for later today (April 13, 2026).
