Jaadugar Holds AniTrendz New-Anime Crown for Third Straight Week

Three weeks into Summer 2026, the newcomer race has a clear ruler. Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia has claimed the top spot on Anime Trending’s Top 10 New Anime chart for a third consecutive week, according to results released July 31 for the July 19–26 voting window. The Science SARU adaptation—an empire-spanning tale of revenge and court intrigue—has never left peak #1 since the season’s opening polls.
Right behind the witch, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You holds firm at second for the third week running, while Kaiju Girl Caramelise completes an equally stubborn podium in third. The mid-table told a livelier story: Goodbye, Lara and Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night each climbed two places, Sparks of Tomorrow slipped four spots to eighth, and Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games re-entered at ninth as Chainsmoker Cat edged down to tenth.
Separating “new” titles from sequels is the point of this chart—so heavy hitters like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3, which currently leads AniTrendz’s overall Top Anime of the Week, sit outside this particular top ten. That split makes Jaadugar’s streak more striking: among pure debuts, nothing has dented its hold yet.
Fans can keep voting for the next weekly snapshot on AniTrendz, where Week 4 ballots are already open. With the season still young, the witch from Mongolia has set a high bar—and the rest of Summer’s newcomers have three more weeks of catching up to do.
