Psyren is a real bet for a Monday-morning slot: Toshiaki Iwashiro’s manga ran 16 volumes in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2007 to 2010 and then sat without an anime for 16 years, which is an unusually long wait for a series with this much built-in name recognition among older shonen readers. The premise — an ordinary fixer pulled into a hidden, deadly game through a red phone card — leans sci-fi and mystery harder than most Jump adaptations getting anime treatment this season, closer to Steins;Gate or The Promised Neverland than another straightforward battle shonen. That’s a good fit for a Crunchyroll Monday slot with little direct competition, and the easiest reason to add this one to a watchlist now rather than waiting for the back half of the cour. The cour’s only scheduled gap is 11 days long, separating episode 7 on November 16, 2026, from episode 8 on November 27, 2026 — otherwise it’s a clean weekly Monday release through the December 28, 2026 finale. If you’re already juggling more than one Monday simulcast, our Black Clover Season 2 episode schedule is another currently-airing weekly anime worth tracking alongside it.
