They can't get here soon enough. Join Ashley as we look over the upcoming titles for 2024 that are set to blow us away

Transcript

00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down the anime we're most excited to see

00:09 arrive next year.

00:16 Number 10, Dunderdarn

00:21 You aren't ready.

00:23 From the mind of the madlad who served as assistant to the other madlad who made Chainsaw

00:28 Man, paired with Science Saru and their gorgeous animation, this adaptation dares to ask the

00:34 age-old question, "What if aliens and ghosts both existed?"

00:39 The answer?

00:40 Chaos of every kind, featuring a pair of students caught up in the middle who couldn't be

00:45 on further ends of the popularity spectrum.

00:48 Get ready for unorthodox action, one hell of a power couple, and the kind of vulgar

00:53 humor that will have you laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

01:04 Number 9, Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hashira Training Arc

01:08 While it was certainly a lot of fun, many are in agreement that the Swordsmith Village

01:13 arc was a bit of a backstab for Demon Slayer as far as storytelling goes.

01:22 Given what we've heard on the grapevine, this next arc should have no such issue.

01:31 With Nezuko now in Muzan's crosshairs, Tanjiro and the gang are going to have to level up,

01:38 which means we're going to see the rest of the Hashira get a shine as they take them

01:42 under their wing.

01:48 Which suits us just fine, because it's been too long since we've seen Shinobu's butterfly

01:53 brand of seduction along with the best aquatic moody boy, Giyu.

01:58 Number 8, Solo Leveling

02:06 For those of you not in the know, this is an adaptation of the ultimate manhwa power

02:12 fantasy where the weakest person in the world full of hunters with abilities straight out

02:17 of a modern game finds himself getting quite the do-over.

02:25 The premise may sound basic as can be, but where the source material excelled was in

02:30 its blistering battles and exceptional artistry.

02:33 So if A-1 Pictures can translate it onto screen, then we're in for one hell of a ride.

02:39 Seriously, if they pull this off, then it's going to make the word "arise" become

02:43 a phrase burned into the anime mainstream membrane.

02:53 Number 7, My Hero Academia Season 7

02:58 You could make the argument that Deku was in a bit of a lull, on account that Season

03:02 5 only really hit its stride with the My Villain Academia segments.

03:07 But then Season 6 came back with a vengeance and totally shook things up.

03:16 Now we are all too ready to see what next year's follow-up has in store.

03:21 Deku now finds himself partnered up with America's greatest hero, Star and Stripe.

03:39 A new muscle-mommy waifu and more fights against All for One?

03:43 Yes, please.

03:49 Number 6, Bleach – Thousand Year Blood War, The Conflict

03:53 The war with the Quincy continues, and things are only getting crazier.

04:05 In what is shaping up to be quite the bloody penultimate act, this third arc of Bleach's

04:11 last season will see Ichigo and the surviving Shinigami press onwards to tackle Yhwach and

04:17 his Stenritter forces.

04:28 While Squad Zero seemingly have the King of Quincy's on the ropes, we all know that

04:32 it's only a matter of time before he turns the table.

04:36 Royal rumble in the Royal Palace.

04:38 Let's go.

04:44 Number 5, Oshinoko – Season 2

04:47 A hell of a lot of anime made a big splash this year, but when it comes to original properties,

04:53 few had the kind of impact that Oshinoko did.

05:07 An idol anime mixed with a murder mystery, mixed with a pseudo-isekai, mixed with a romantic

05:13 comedy, mixed with a satirical commentary about the dark side of the entertainment industry.

05:19 Yes, it's a lot, and yet this series balanced it perfectly.

05:29 Needless to say, we are very excited to see how B. Komachi continue to battle to become

05:35 a powerhouse idol group, as well as see Aqua tackle the horror that is a 2.5D stage play.

05:42 Number 4, One Punch Man – Season 3

05:50 We've waited and waited, but now it seems that the time has finally come for Saitama's

05:55 grand return.

06:03 Can it live up to the monumental impact left by its incredible first season?

06:08 Potentially.

06:09 All we know is that we're finally going to see Saitama and Garou fight for real, and

06:27 it has been a long time coming.

06:29 The strongest hero of them all against the hunter of heroes whose sense of justice isn't

06:34 exactly without merit.

06:35 Let's hope they nail it, otherwise at this rate the manga will be complete long before

06:40 the anime catches up.

06:42 And this is One Punch Man we're talking about.

06:45 That's saying something.

06:59 Number 3, Delicious in Dungeon

07:02 There are as many anime about delving into dungeons as there are isekai, aka a lot.

07:09 So what sets this one apart?

07:23 That would be this traditional fantasy's hilarious premise, since the main objective

07:28 of this band of adventurers, while somewhat tied into an overarching plot about saving

07:33 one of their own, is mainly focused on one thing and one thing only – turning the monsters

07:38 they encounter into delicious meals.

07:42 Yes, it's a fantasy cooking series, and if you are aware of the source material, you

07:55 know the food looks incredible.

07:56 You'll never look at a dragon the same way again.

08:06 Number 2, Kaiju #8

08:08 About time this monster mash got its time to shine.

08:16 In a world where humanity has specialized units for bringing down giant monsters, our

08:22 main man, Kafka, is stuck on cleanup duty and afraid life is passing him by.

08:30 At least until he finds himself turned into a kaiju hybrid by mistake.

08:34 Not only does this put him in the crosshairs of the anti-kaiju defense force, but chooses

08:39 to use his smaller yet destructive form to take out his new monstrous brethren in an

08:45 effort to do good.

08:46 It's an underdog story that promises huge battles, huge hearts, and the possibility

08:51 of a new contender for the Shonen Crown.

09:01 Before we unveil our number one pick, here's some honorable mentions.

09:05 Tower of God, Season 2.

09:07 That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Season 3.

09:11 Kono Super, God's Blessing on This Wonderful World, Season 3.

09:16 Laid Back Camp, Season 3.

09:19 Clash Hall, Magic and Muscles, Season 2.

09:22 Classroom of the Elite, Season 3.

09:42 Dragon Ball Daima, Season 3.

09:44 No, this is not a remake of GT.

09:47 And yes, we are seeing the return of young Goku in the newest Dragon Ball series since

10:08 Super and we could not be more excited.

10:11 What's it about?

10:12 Will I take the risk of de-aging the cast?

10:19 We don't know, but you can bet your tails we're intrigued.

10:23 It's meant to celebrate 40 years of all things Dragon Ball, and since Toriyama is intrinsically

10:28 involved, we have faith that at the very least, this is going to be all kinds of entertaining.

10:34 Maybe this is GT as it should have been.

10:37 Make it happen, Shenron.

10:44 Which upcoming anime are you most hyped about?

10:47 Let us know in those comments below.

11:02 Thanks for watching.
