Petals of Reincarnation is one of the most highly anticipated anime simulcasts of the upcoming Spring 2026 season. And today, AMC Networks’ HIDIVE revealed the premiere details of this eagerly awaited new supernatural action series, which will debut on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 12:30 am ET / 16:30 UTC exclusively on the popular anime streaming service and will be followed by new English subtitled simulcasts episodes every Thursday thereafter this spring.
As part of the premiere reveal, HIDIVE also released the official English language versions of both the new Petals of Reincarnation key visual and promotional video.
HIDIVE describes Petals of Reincarnation as follows:
There exists an object known as the “Branch of Reincarnation” that can grant people the talents of the past lives, so long as they slit their own throat with it. Toya Senji is a teenage boy struggling with low self-esteem after growing up in the shadow of his gifted older brother. He comes to the decision that academic studies are his last resort in the search for talent, but fails to find satisfaction despite constantly placing in the top 100 for national mock exams. In a twist of fate, Toya encounters one of his classmates, Haito Luo Buffett, a “Returner” who has resurrected the talents of her past life using the Branch of Reincarnation, as she fights against a serial killer.
