10. Blue Lock Is A Sports Anime With A Battle Royale Twist
Sports anime, like Sword Art Online or Mirai Nikki, will quickly become a fan favorite. So Blue Lock, which combines these two genres, maybe a breakout hit this year. Three hundred of Japan’s best soccer strikers have been “imprisoned” in Blue Lock, with only one making the national team and the rest permanently banned. It sounds like a better fate than death, but soccer is everything to these boys.
9. Tiger & Bunny Finally Gets A Second Season
Superheroes, of course, are currently dominating the screen, so it’s no surprise that Tiger & Bunny is set to return for a second season more than a decade after the first. Tiger & Bunny takes a unique spin on the genre, with superheroes having to focus on pleasing their sponsors as much as fighting crime, and dropping in the rankings can mean losing their job. This is a series that should be welcomed back with open arms, providing a satire of commercialized entertainment as well as some great action.
8. Slow Loop Seems Perfect For Fans Of Yuru Camp
Since Yuru Camp’s second season ended, fans of cute girls doing outdoor activities have been desperate for a replacement. Luckily, Slow Loop appears to be the answer. Join protagonist Hiyori as she learns about her new stepsister Koharu and the world of fishing, which her late father enjoyed. Like Yuru Camp, it promises beautiful seascapes and touching moments between its characters as they develop relationships.
7. Sasaki And Miyano Promises A Touching Queer Love Story
There can never be too many queer love stories in anime, and the adaptation of the acclaimed boys’ love manga Sasaki and Miyano ensures that at least one will be available in 2022. The series’ unique selling point is that boys’ love manga plays a role in the plot: shy protagonist Miyano is a big fan of the genre, and by sharing his love of it, he ends up getting closer to the school delinquent, Sasaki, making him realize he might have been connecting to it on a deeper level than he thought.
6. Requiem Of The Rose King Retells A Thorny Historical Saga
Shakespeare’s work may seem unusual for anime and manga, but the shojo series Requiem of the Rose King shows that it can be done well. The shojo art and reimagined characters in this series give the play Richard III a stylish update.
5. Extra-Terrestrial Boys & Girls Looks Out Of This World
The tale of Extra-Terrestrial Boys & Girls looks intriguing, as a group of kids stranded on a space station must use the technology left to survive. Extra-Terrestrial Boys & Girls is directed by Mitsuo Iso, whose distinctive animation style can be seen in Gundam 0080 and Evangelion. Since 2007, his previous original work, Denno Coil, has been hailed as a brilliant hidden gem. Because that series also features kids learning to live in a technologically advanced world, Iso is clearly familiar with his latest creation.
4. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Explores The World Of The Hit Video Game
The hype surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t been this high in recent memory, and the announcement of a spin-off anime seems to have re-ignited it. With a new story and cast of characters, the series promises to further explore the game’s vivid world and its many mysteries. Moreover, it’s coming from Trigger, so fans can expect to see some slick character designs and animation in the works. Anime and video game fans alike are expected to enjoy this Netflix original.
3. Tokyo Mew Mew New Remakes A 2ooos Magical Girl Classic
Tokyo Mew Mew’s adorable animal and sweets-themed aesthetics won over a generation of magical girl fans when it aired in 2002. However, it was hampered by poor animation and a truly awful English dub. Now, a full 20 years later, Tokyo Mew Mew New appears to be doing the story justice. As long as it stays true to the original’s heart, it will undoubtedly appeal to both older fans looking for a fun throwback and the next generation of magical girl fans.
2. Orient Could Be The New Shonen To Look Out For
Any new shonen anime announcement is bound to cause a stir among anime fans, with the question on everyone’s mind: will this be the next big shonen? Due to its creator, Shinobu Ohtaka, Orient, a story of two boys becoming demon-fighting samurai, may have a better chance than most. In the meantime, the second season of Demon Slayer is planned for late 2021, as is a Jujutsu Kaisen prequel film.
1. Uzumaki Adapts A Classic Horror Manga
A new adaptation of Junji Ito’s classic horror manga, Uzumaki, is set to air in 2022, bringing a much-needed infusion of quality horror anime to the market. To capture all of Ito’s incredible—and terrifying—details in a style that, according to the trailer, is truly unique. Featuring a haunting soundtrack by Colin Stetson, best known for his work on the modern horror classic Hereditary, this series appears to be a winner. Keep in mind that this anime is best viewed in the daylight.
