The story
A thread titled “2027 Winter Anime Roundup,” posted on 5ch’s Entertainment/Sports News+ board, compiled information on new and rerun anime starting next January. Alongside the final arc of the hugely popular “Golden Kamuy,” Season 2 of “The Fable,” and Season 2 of “SAKAMOTO DAYS,” it was also revealed that the long-running manga “Historie” is finally getting an anime adaptation, drawing excited replies. At the same time, some commenters complained that with so many shows, it’s hard to choose what to watch, others questioned why so many isekai (reincarnated-in-another-world) titles keep getting adapted, and there was discussion over why reruns make up such a large share of the lineup.

What people said
Golden Kamuy, Fable
Rare to see this many shows I actually want to watch
Did the source manga actually finish?
Adapting some random 'chronicle of troubles' story like that just proves they're out of ideas
SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2
Shin Samurai Legend YAIBA Season 2: Kaguya Arc
Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court, Part 2
One Punch Man Season 3, Part 2
Lots of these are on TV Tokyo
Since it's the Kaguya arc, they're probably already planning Season 3 too
Kamuy, One Punch Man, Historie, Fable, and that other one too?
Feels like I'll drop every single one — way too many crammed in at once
According to the anime threads, apparently October
But I'm never home at that time, so I miss them and they just pile up unwatched
SAKAMOTO DAYS
Shangri-La (Frontier)
Historie
One Punch Man
What a lineup!
I wish they'd move Demon Slayer to a night slot instead of airing it in the morning
Spreading it across different time slots helps grow the audience — basically mandatory if they want to capture everyone
Oh, and Sekiro's getting one too?
Maybe word's getting around that binge-watching whole seasons via streaming isn't great for you
'Little Red Riding Hood Encounters a Corpse on Her Journey' —
this one I actually kinda want to check out lol
Also, bothering to adapt Historie is just a waste of effort lol
If they're using the 'Isekai no Mon' model of charging the cast themselves to appear, they'll be just fine
The Fable Season 2
SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2
I'm the Only One Not Attacked in a World Overrun by Zombies
Historie
Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court, Part 2
Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage
The Lady Knight's Kept Man
That's actually quite a lot
Looking forward to it
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The 2027 winter anime season kicks off in January, and this thread was sparked by new information reported by Animate Times, including “Akane-banashi” Season 2. Particular attention went to “Historie,” Hitoshi Iwaaki’s long-running and still-unfinished manga; since the source material hasn’t concluded, some commenters worried the anime could catch up to and overtake it — a different situation from anime sequels based on already-completed source material. As for why reruns feature so prominently, some commenters speculated it’s meant to build the habit of watching the weekly TV broadcast, even as binge-watching whole seasons via streaming becomes the norm — though this is just viewer speculation, not an official explanation. On the question of why isekai-reincarnation shows keep getting churned out despite audiences seemingly being tired of them, some wondered how shows that don’t even crack the streaming charts manage to turn a profit — a reminder that anime production-committee financing and revenue structures are often invisible to ordinary viewers.
