Top 10 anime coming out in 2024
10. A Sign of Affection
- Release Date – January 6th, 2024
- Studio – Ajia-do Animation Works
Fans of the manga were elated with the announcement of an anime adaptation and unsurprisingly so. A Sign of Affection is a heartwarming romance between hearing-impaired Itose Yuki and multilingual traveling enthusiast Itsuomi Nagi. As their paths cross with one another, their worlds start to expand and overlap beautifully.
If your life has been devoid of romance lately, A Sign of Affection anime can easily be your ticket to experience a great second-hand romance or a whole lot of loneliness!
9. Spice and Wolf: Merchant meets the Wise Wolf
- Release Window – April 2024
- Studio – Passione
More than a decade later, Spice and Wolf is returning to fans with a remake anime. It is the story of Lawrence, the merchant accompanied by the wolf deity Holo embarking on adventures together.
With how great the original Spice and Wolf anime is, the remake needs to be significantly good to amuse the pre-existing fans. The creators have taken the first right step towards doing that by bringing back Jun Fukuyama and Ami Koshimizu as Lawrence and Holo.
8. Kaijuu No. 8
- Release Window – April 2024
- Studio – Production I.G.
Kaijuu No. 8 will be here this spring for our yearly shonen dose. Childhood friends Kafka and Mina swear to be a part of the Defense Force and fight off Kaijuu once they grow up. Multiple failed attempts to become a part of the Defense Force dampens Kafka’s spirit, only for it to be reignited after his encounter with Reno Ichikawa. A small Kaijuu enters Kafka’s body and grants him the ability to transform into a kaijuu at will. With a new ability and codename, several challenges also come his way.
Shonen fans who have grown over the years and no longer feel a connection to the young protagonists, Kaijuu no. 8 has an adult protagonist who is also pretty cool.
7. Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture
- Release Window – May 2024
- Studio – Sunrise
As a part of the ten-year plan, Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture was announced. It’s allegedly a 4 parts long movie series, set in a different timeline than the original anime series. The promotional bits feature two new characters, Roze and Ash.
In terms of fights and the mecha action, the teasers are strongly reminiscent of Code Geass. But is Code Geass the same experience without Lelouch? We’ll find out once again this May!

My Hero Academia season 7 was heavily anticipated after the captivating events of season 6. The upcoming season is expected to adapt two smaller arcs and the introductory chapters of the final arc. We’ll get to see several cool fights along with some crucial plus ultra developments.
Kohei Horikoshi pours everything into the fights with his breathtaking art style and multiple double spreads. Getting all of that animated is something to look forward to.
2. Solo Leveling
- Release Date – January 6th, 2024
- Studio – A-1 Pictures
Ever since the anime announcement was first made, Solo Leveling has persisted to be the talk of the town. The weakest hunter Sung Jinwoo gets the ability to level up like a video game character after a life-threatening incident. The charm of this simple plotline is elevated with coolness done right and phenomenal art style.
Seemingly the anime will be making some crucial changes to the storyline, which is bound to pique the attention of the readers as well. It’ll be intriguing to see if the anime gathers the same praise as the manhwa.
1. Dandadan
- Release Window – October 2024
- Studio – Science Saru
Dandadan manga by Yukinobu Tatsu started in 2021 and has garnered a huge fan following over the years. Momo and Okarun believe in either ghosts or aliens but not both. Their belief system is challenged as they discover that both entities actually do exist!
Dandadan is famous for its eccentric elements and its unique premise. Despite being a shonen, it brilliantly handles the romance subplot. All these reasons make Dandadan a must-watch this year.
