Not many seinen anime can command the attention of the audience, like Golden Kamuy. A key reason behind the anime's popularity is its riveting story, which is enough to keep viewers glued to their screens. Every single season of Golden Kamuy has received positive reviews, which is why the series has kept on releasing new seasons. Currently, there are four seasons of Golden Kamuy, but a fifth and final is on the way.
The Biggest Anime Of 2026 (So Far)
2026 is almost here, and the upcoming year should be PACKED with both massive anime sequels and newcomers. Let's go through its biggest anime.
Golden Kamuy Season 5 Release Date
Golden Kamuy Is One Of The Best Seinen Anime Of All Time
- Golden Kamuy's fifth season will cover the final arc of the manga
- The fifth season will bring the story to a close
Golden Kamuy is making a return in January 2026. According to the official announcement, Golden Kamuy Season 5 is set to air on January 5th, 2026. The anime's return means that fans will get to watch their favorite characters in action one final time. The new season is being produced by Brain's Base, the studio responsible for the fourth season.
Golden Kamuy's fifth season will adapt the final arc of the manga, so viewers can expect things to get a lot more intense. Both the studios have managed to capture the drama and thrill perfectly, and that's unlikely to change in the new season. However, there will be extra pressure on Brain's Base to deliver a high-grade adaptation, as it would be the perfect sendoff.
The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Golden Kamuy anime shared a trailer that gives fans an insight into what the final season will be about. As expected, Asirpa and Sugimoto are at the center of attention. After all, they're the main characters of the story. The duo has been through many challenging situations, and have managed to survive against all odds. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see how their journey comes to an end.
Golden Kamuy Has Won Many Awards
Satoru Noda's Golden Kamuy manga has been the recipient of many accolades. It has won the grand prize at the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, which is one of the highest honors for any series. Golden Kamuy has also won an award at the Japan Media Arts Festival and Japan Cartoonists Association Awards. Besides winning so many awards, Golden Kamuy has earned a ton of nominations, which proves it is highly regarded among critics.
Golden Kamuy sales are not too shabby either. Based on the latest available data, the Golden Kamuy manga has sold more than 29 million copies. It is worth mentioning that the information hasn't been updated since June 2024, so the current number is likely to be higher. Furthermore, the anime's return will certainly bolster the manga sales, which could lead to a number close to 35 million.
Golden Kamuy Season 5 will release on January 5th, 2025.
