Winter anime in a nutshell3/19/2024 So on balance I think it could be a fairly quiet season on multiple fronts, though some of the stuff that happens in BokuYaba is going to break the internet. We also don’t have any true kaijuu series premiering for the first time in a while. But after the top five there’s not much here that really screams “potential” at me (though Yubisaki to Renren is certainly a possibility), and the “Mid-table” is as small as I can remember. In the end I’m previewing 16 shows, which almost hits my historic benchmark of one-third of the schedule. So yeah, there’s absolutely quality at the top here – there haven’t been all that many seasons with three (or more) in the “Highest Expectations” tier in recent years.Īfter that it’s a pretty steep drop-off. And speaking of overdue, there can’t be too many manga which seemed obvious candidates for anime that had a longer or more inexplicable wait than Dungeon Meshi. We have a chance to finally get a decent Mizukami Satoshi adaptation (so far it looks okay), and to call that overdue would be a massive understatement. But with Kadokawa looking to eventually churn out 10 or more LN adaptations per season leading the way, the demand for more cheap and generic anime has never been higher.įor me any season that has BokuYaba could never be truly weak – that’s how much I adore this series, and this season will adapt some incredible material. The infrastructure of the industry is obviously not capable of handling this sort of year-round load, as the various production collapses and black company issues would tell you. At this writing we’re looking at about 51 winter series, which is still a very high number for a winter (or summer) anime season. Winter is smaller than this fall season, but that’s always the case – and fall ended up being something like 65 series (way too many). Anime seasons can always surprise you, but to be honest in my experience they usually don’t.Īnime production bloat continues more or less unabated, so volume isn’t the issue. But move past that, and I don’t see a whole lot to be honest. Series with lots of buildup and anticipation, which figure to be Top 10 contenders (at least) when the year is reckoned up. There are some very big (for me) shows on the docket. A world that grabs you from the first moment, with a context around a video game in which our protagonist tries to survive, but his level will end up being very different from what he expected.My initial read on Winter 2024 is, in a nutshell, “all or nothing”. The most awaited premiere of the season, the animated adaptation of the popular Korean work that has stood out enormously in recent years, immersing us in a story full of action, full of monsters and in the purest RPG style. There are some series missing that could have perfectly made this list, such as the second season of ‘Urusei Yatsura’ or more of Tite Kubo’s new ‘Burn the Witch #0.8′, but there will be plenty of time to talk about them and some others throughout the next year. The most anticipated anime of the 2024 winter seasonīelow we leave you with the 10 anime that we consider to be particularly outstanding in this winter season 2024. Series of all kinds, with a big premiere that stands out from the rest, and others that hope to become the surprises of this winter, as well as the return with new seasons of beloved productions. The 2024 winter anime season is about to begin, and while it may not be as impressive as previous seasons, it still has high-level premieres and outstanding sequels to some works.
