Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict

Dragon Ball Daima
It’s a good time for Dragon Ball fans as the iconic franchise announced the release of Dragon Ball Daima for its 40th anniversary. Late author Akira Toriyama was involved in the anime’s scripting which adds to the anticipation around the series. The anime will have a new storyline that follows the adventures of Goku and his friends as they find themselves mysteriously shrunk. Dragon Ball Daima is set for a Fall 2024 release.
Oishi no Ko Season 2

Over a year after the announcement, the sports anime Blue Lock Season 2 is on its way. The show which hits streaming on October 2024, will follow footballer Isagi Yoichi as he enrols in the titular training regime devised by Ego Jinpachi. The stakes are high as anyone who fails their training cannot represent Japan on the national level ever again. Yoichi aims to be the greatest striker out there. While the first season took on international football, the next one promises to be just as engaging and dramatic.
Suicide Squad Isekai
Every time a major franchise has been given the anime treatment, it has worked. Think Batman Ninja. After series like The Rising of the Shield Hero and Sword Art Online, the Isekai genre that sees protagonists enter fascinating parallel worlds is about to get an interesting new addition. Featuring characters originated by DC Comics, Suicide Squad Isekai will reportedly see Harley Quinn and Joker enter a magical world where they will run into all kinds of trouble. Judging by the trailers, the anime is colourful in typical Suicide Squad fashion with familiar DC characters including King Shark, Peacemaker and Clayface taking centre stage. It'll be interesting to see the superhero franchise crossover with Japanese anime.
Kimi ni Todoke Season 3
Romance anime Kimi ni Todoke is one of the long-awaited titles on the list and by that, we mean 13 years. For the uninitiated, the slice-of-life anime revolves Sawako Kuronuma a shy girl who seems to scare off her classmates enough for them to compare her to Sadako from the horror movie, The Ring. Her admiration for the popular kid in class, Kazehaya, slowly brings her out of her shell. And while she doesn't know it, Kazehaya also takes an interest in her. As she starts making friends, she has wholesome new experiences with those around her.
Tower of God Season 2
After a successful first season, Tower of God returns for a victory lap with Tower of God Season 2. Based on the South Korean webtoon of the same name, the anime revolves around the protagonist Bam’s ambitious quest to scale the tower. The odds are against him as she's an Irregular - someone who can't enter the tower, but that only strengthens his drive. While the anime was announced back in 2022, it will be released somewhere in July 2024
