Spring 2027 just got its biggest webtoon. Anime News Network reported on October 21 that the Eleceed TV anime now premieres in April 2027, and its new English-subtitled trailer makes the date official. That puts Eleceed in the same April window as Kagurabachi, the second half of The Apothecary Diaries Season 3, and Skip to Loafer Season 2. Here's every spring 2027 anime with a confirmed April slot so far, with studios and where each one will stream.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, the biggest spring 2027 anime are Kagurabachi (Cypic, April 2027, Crunchyroll worldwide outside Asia), The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 Part 2 (OLM, April 2027, 12 episodes per AniList) and Skip to Loafer Season 2 (P.A. Works, April 2027). Eleceed (DandeLion Animation Studio) joins them after a delay from 2026. None of these shows have aired, so none of them has a score yet. Where we cite a number below, it's the score for the show's previous season on the SenpaiRanks board. The Kagurabachi trailer is below.

What to watch for
Spring 2027 is stacked with adaptations and sequels rather than originals. Kagurabachi and Eleceed both have huge readerships and their whole reputations ride on fight animation, so the first episode of each will decide a lot. Apothecary Diaries and Skip to Loafer are safe picks. If you're planning ahead, our winter 2027 guide covers January, and the fall 2026 ranking covers what's airing right now. You can rate each show on its SenpaiRanks page once it premieres.
