Wistoria Season 2 Tops Anime Corner's Week 5 Spring 2026 Poll

Anime Corner has published the results of its fifth weekly fan poll for the Spring 2026 anime season, with over 7,000 votes cast. Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 claimed the top spot for the first time this season, receiving 9.64% of the vote and dethroning Witch Hat Atelier, which had been number one the previous week. Witch Hat Atelier fell to second place with 7.58%, while Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 took third with 7.35%. My Hero Academia: More entered the poll this week and landed in fifth place with 5.09%, just behind Daemons of the Shadow Realm at 5.10%. The rest of the top ten included I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class, Classroom of the Elite IV, Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2, and Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!? The full ranking spans 62 titles, with Onegai AiPri at the bottom receiving 0.12% of the vote. Anime Corner runs the poll weekly throughout the season, and voting for week six is now open.

The Anime Corner weekly poll is a fan-voted ranking that draws thousands of participants each week, offering a snapshot of which series generate the most enthusiasm among the voting audience. This week's results show a significant shake-up in the top three, with Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 climbing from its previous position to unseat Witch Hat Atelier, which had held the lead for several weeks. Re:ZERO Season 4 remained a strong contender, holding steady in third place. The entry of My Hero Academia: More at number five suggests that its latest episode resonated strongly with voters, though it did not break into the top four. Lower in the rankings, series like Marriagetoxin (11th), Always a Catch! (16th), and Go For It, Nakamura! (45th) show the wide spread of titles that attract niche but active followings. The poll's full list of 62 titles includes many continuing series and new adaptations, with vote shares tapering sharply after the top ten. Anime Corner encourages readers to vote in future polls, which are held weekly for the duration of the season.
