About NextCour

An independent, spoiler-free guide to the anime season. What's airing next, and where to watch it legally.

Every three months a new anime season starts and dozens of shows premiere in the same few weeks. NextCour exists to answer the questions that come with that: what's on, when does the next episode air where I live, and where can I watch it legally?

What you'll find here

The season chart: every new show of the cour with studio, source, genres, a synopsis and a live countdown to the next episode.
The weekly schedule: the next seven days of broadcasts, converted to your timezone (or Japan time, if you prefer).
A page for every show: when the next episode airs, the full episode schedule in your time, where to stream it, and a one-click calendar file so you never miss an episode.
Where to watch: official streaming links for each show on Crunchyroll, Netflix, HIDIVE, Prime Video and other licensed services.
Guides: season previews and plain-English explainers about how anime airs and streams.

Where the data comes from

Show information, air dates and streaming listings come from AniList, a community-maintained anime database, and are refreshed every time the site is rebuilt. Countdowns run live in your browser. Broadcasts sometimes move at short notice, so when an episode is due, the streaming service has the final word.

Our rules

Legal links only. We only link to official, licensed services. Every link is checked against a list of known services and their real web addresses before it appears on the site.
Spoiler-free. Synopses describe the premise, never the plot twists.
Official art, credited. Covers and banners are each show's official art, © its rights holders, shown to help you recognise the show. Everything else is NextCour's own manga-panel design: ink, screentone, stickers and type.
No tracking without your OK. See our privacy policy.
A human signs off. Some guides are drafted with AI tools; every one is checked and approved by a person before it goes live.

How NextCour is funded

The site is free. To cover costs it may show ads and use affiliate links to streaming services. That never decides which shows or services we list; the affiliate disclosure explains how it works.
