The 10th Crunchyroll Anime Awards (Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa, Tokyo) resolved at the start of the week with five tracked-series category wins: Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- took Best Animation and Best Action Anime; DAN DA DAN Season 2 took Best Comedy Anime and Best Opening Sequence ("On The Way" by AiNA THE END); and Re:ZERO Season 3 took Best Isekai Anime. The night's overall winners were non-tracked (My Hero Academia Final Season — Anime of the Year; Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle — Film of the Year; One Piece — Best Continuing Series; Gachiakuta — Best New Series). These are accolades, not status/next_arc/next_date changes — no data edit warranted.

Season 4 Cour 1 ("Loss Arc") continues its weekly Wednesday cadence; Cour 2 ("Recapture Arc") premieres Aug 12, 2026. On-cadence airing, not a status change. (S3 won Best Isekai at the May 23 Awards.) No data edit.
No official A-1/Aniplex/Crunchyroll S3 date. Producer Atsushi Kaneko's "something big coming in 2026" tease (Mumbai Comic Con, May 9) carries; reporting continues to favor a film over a traditional S3. Theatrical-film-continuation framing remains fact-of-record; fans watching Anime Expo (early July). No data edit.

Sword Art Online: Reki Kawahara's new original SAO film (teased/announced April 29, "in production" per Crunchyroll) carries with no new specifics on plot, staff, or date. Echoes of Aincrad ARPG (July 10) is franchise background. Dragon Ball Daima: the "Complete Season" (vs. "Complete Series") Blu-ray labeling and a Crunchyroll listing quirk keep fueling "more episodes on the way" speculation — no official Toei confirmation. Both unconfirmed; no data edit.

Frieren S3 / Golden Land remains October 2027 (S2 aired Jan 2026); no official Aniplex statement this cycle. Dandadan S3 holds its 2027 window (S2 remains July 2026); the two May 23 Awards wins do not change the schedule. No credible new-season/movie rumors surfaced for Eminence in Shadow, Overlord, Shield Hero, Dragon Ball Super, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, Log Horizon, Soul Eater, Tensura, Oshi no Ko, or KonoSuba in the window.
Concluded; full results confirmed (see Headline). The Convention Scanner's Awards entry should transition to a "concluded" state, but that data is backend-served (/api/anime/conventions) — no in-page edit applied.
SacAnime Summer (Jun 5–7), Anime Expo 2026 (Jul 3–6), Otakon 2026 (Aug 1–3), Crunchyroll Expo 2026 (Aug 14–16), Anime NYC 2026 (Nov 20–22) remain on the calendar. Solo Leveling's producer flagged possible Anime Expo (early July) news.
A standing item flagged for William: anime/index.html initializes SERIES and the Convention Scanner empty (let SERIES = []) and populates them via fetch('/api/anime/…') (backend-served). There is no static in-page array to edit, and no DB is reachable from the automated environment, so confirmed status/next_arc/next_date and convention-state changes must be made in the backend data layer.
(1) Whether Solo Leveling S3 / film gets an official date or Anime Expo tease firms up. (2) Whether the SAO new original film reveals staff/date specifics. (3) Whether Dragon Ball Daima's continuation rumor gets an official confirmation. (4) Re:Zero S4 weekly episodes through the end of Cour 1. (5) SacAnime Summer (Jun 5–7) panel announcements featuring tracked series.
