Blue Lock had a spin-off movie out this year (see more below for that), but there’salso a new seasonto look forward to. Don’t expect a Jose Mourinho-style second season syndrome here, however. The soccer anime aims to hit the heights of its initial run, which saw fledgling forward Isagi form part of Japan’s hilariously overblown new project to find a star striker - by putting hundreds of students through their paces in a prison-style structure. That’s all despite someearly animation concerns from fans.

Otherwise known as Kimi ni Todoke, From Me to You is a slice-of-life romance drama that will tug at the heartstrings.

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Kengan Ashura season 2, part 2:Netflix

The second half of the Kengan Ashura anime’s second season is set to bolster Netflix’s anime ranks later this year. Not caught up? You’re missing out. It tells the story of Ohma Takita, a modern-day gladiator who enters tournaments just for the love of fighting and decimating his opponents. It’s brutal, with a killer hook - a tournament arc with a special prize at the seat of power - just as powerful as Ohma’s own right hand.

A surprise crossover with the similarly hard-hitting Baki Hanma landed in July.

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Kingdom season 5:Crunchyroll

Our hero is caught at a crossroads in the new season, however: will he rule Eternia as his musclebound alter-ego, or as Adam? Whatever happens, it’s all set to be a chaotic explosion of color and mayhem in a similar vein to that which enraptured audiences in the 1980s.

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Mushoku Tensei season 2, part 2:Crunchyroll

Bundled with one of the weirdest anime premises we’ve seen in a minute, Mushoku Tensei follows the story of a homeless man who reincarnates in a fantasy world under the moniker Rudeus Greyrat - and aims to make the most of his second chance. The second part of the second season hits Crunchyroll this April.

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch My Hero Academia season 7:Crunchyroll

While My Hero Academia’s star may be on the wane compared to some of the other big name peers that have dominated the medium in recent years, the superhero shonen will likely edge towards its endgame in fine style. It’s definitely adapting the Star and Stripe arc, featuring America’s eponymous hero, and will inch ever closer to the epic Final War arc later this year as our superheroes in training continue to rise to the occasion.

Netflix’s synopsis reads, “A new adventure unfolds on Future Island ‘Egghead’, home to the lab of genius scientist Dr. Vegapunk. What awaits the Straw Hat Crew there?”

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Oshi No Ko season 2:HiDive

To spoil Oshi No Ko’s premise would do a disservice to what was one of the most mindblowing twists in recent years. Needless to say, we’ll keep it brief: the anime focuses on two twins who find themselves embroiled in the world of pop idols, all deliciously wrapped up in a murder mystery. The second season is setting up to be a must-watch, in our eyes.

The remake of beloved ’90s anime Ranma 1/2 is coming to Netflix in October.

Confusing matters further, Ranma then falls for a young female martial artist called Akane and the two are betrothed. But how will Ranma’s water-based transformations affect their fledgling relationship? You’ll have to find out in this unique romcom.

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Re: Monster:Crunchyroll

Anime loves a good isekai - the genre which often sees a protagonist transported to another world - and Re: Monster should be right near the top of the pile this year.

The newly-named Rou must struggle to survive and quickly get accustomed to his new environment - or risk winding up dying for a second time.

Release date:Out now (ongoing)Where to watch Re:Zero season 3:Crunchyroll

What’s not to like?

Release date:Out nowWhere to watch Uzumaki:Toonami/Adult Swim

It’s about time this list had a bit more of a horror flavor. Uzumaki dives deep into the (thankfully fictional) town of Kurouzo-chu and its steeped history with the supernatural. It was written by legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito, so there’s plenty of reason to think this will scare us silly very soon, but maybe not always for the right reasons asthe second episode’s animation controversy proves.

“Once you get used to the shadows, you see bad people for who they really are. And they’ll never see you coming for them," Fisher says inthe first look at Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. After decades of stalking about in the darkness as Mr. Fisher, that’s music to our ears.

Release date:TBAWhere to watch Cyberpunk:Netflix

Welcome back to Night City, chooms. Given the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, it should come as little surprise to hear that Netflix andCD Projekt Redare teaming up for a new project.

While we know very little about the series just yet, we suspect it won’t be a direct sequel to Edgerunners, given how that show ended. Watch this space.

The first trailer for Zenshuhas us very excited. The new undated anime, from Studio MAPPA, follows the plight of Natsuko, a talented young anime artist suddenly thrust into directing her first feature movie.

Despite that being an unbridled success, Natusko’s next project isn’t so easy. As per the show’s synopsis: “Her next project is set to be a romantic comedy movie themed around first love. However, having never been in love herself, Natsuko struggles to understand the concept of first love, and as a result, she’s unable to create the storyboard, causing the movie production to come to a standstill.”
