1.Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc Trilogy
The finale of the Demon Slayer saga’s anime adaptation looks to seal the series’ legacy on the medium with a massive finish, adapting the thrilling final arc in a series of three films. With the previous Mugen Train film dominating the box office so heavily, no anime adaptation has hoped to challenge its record since Demon Slayer seeks a victory lap as it closes the series. Sparing no time after the Hashira Training Arc’s adaptation, Demon Slayer is sparing no expense from Ufotable to create a finale the series fans so richly deserve. Many of these upcoming anime are still a long way out and thus fans have a grueling wait ahead of them. But given the quality of their existing episodes or trailers, these shows and movies are guaranteed to be worth the wait.
2.Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow
Solo Leveling quickly captured anime fans’ fascination with its adaptation of the acclaimed manhwa and novel of the same name. Sung Jinwoo is now one of the most recognized new anime heroes of 2023’s Winter anime season. With plenty more of the story to adapt, alongside the hugely successful Solo Leveling: ARISE mobile game Solo Leveling: Ragnarok getting a webtoon, it’s unsurprising that season 2 is imminent. The path to the coveted Monarch of Shadows status continues with the likely adaptation of the Red Gate Arc next. Season 2 of Solo Leveling has no release date yet.
3.Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen continues to blow away fans with MAPPA’s excellent adaptation, with season 2 winning Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year award. However, the series moves on to one of the most challenging yet, with one of the most drawn-out, consequential arcs in the series via The Culling Game, Kenjaku’s deadly battle royale. Fans will be waiting to see how this adaptation plays out, especially with one particularly divisive event on the horizon. Given that season 2 just aired and MAPPA has a tight schedule, there is no information yet on when Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will air.
4.My Dress-Up Darling Season 2
For seinen romantic comedy fans, My Dress-Up Darling’s sequel adaptation was announced in September 2022. CloverWorks’ adaptation that same year attained high critical praise as it explores Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo’s mutual love for cosplay and chemistry together. With CloverWorks’ library of anime adaptations continuing to grow and My Dress-Up Darling being among their more recently acclaimed projects, this is a no-brainer for romance, slice-of-life, and cosplay fans. Unfortunately, it’s not clear when season 2 of My Dress-Up Darling will air.
5.One-Punch Man Season 3
After a long break between seasons, it seems that One-Punch Man Season 3 is currently being produced, although it is unknown which studio is doing it. The show still has an incredible amount of hype behind it despite its long time off the air and its relatively lackluster second season. Given the next arc of One-Punch Man‘s manga is widely regarded as one of the best in the series, the third season has a chance to fix the show’s reputation and remind fans why the anime became so popular upon its release. With a trailer already out, it appears as though One-Punch Man season 3 will release sometime in 2024
