The upcoming winter season boasts a number of high-profile releases, some of which fans of the originals have been eagerly awaiting. The viewer will see an adaptation of a manhwa that has already become virtually legendary, an ecchi harem from Seven Arcs, a continuation of Mash’s adventures, a new season of a psychological thriller set within school walls, and much more. In this article we will talk about the ten most anticipated anime of winter 2024, where there was a place for both new releases and continuations of hits.
The selection is based on expectation rating, therefore, not all titles of the winter season were included in the top, but only the 10 most interesting in the opinion of the site’s editors were selected. Of course, the top is largely subjective and not everyone will be happy with the titles presented, but we tried to make the list universal and we hope that thanks to it most readers will be able to find an interesting series for winter evenings.
The best new anime in winter 2024
We start the top with anime new releases for the winter season, among which there is a long-awaited adaptation of the manhwa, an interesting harem from the author of Akame Ga Kill! and much more. The list turned out to be very diverse and quite promising.
Slave of the Demon City Special Forces
- Genre: action, fantasy, ecchi, harem, shounen
- Director: Gorou Kuji, Junji Nishimura
- Studio: Seven Arcs
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 4, 2024
All over the world, gates to another dimension were opened, where a unique product “peach” was found, giving the one who tasted it superpowers, but only if it was a woman. At the same time, it became clear that there are also dangerous monsters on the other side, who from time to time enter our world. Opposing them are girls from an elite women's squad, and by chance, Yuki Wakura, an ordinary schoolboy in whom the leader Kyoka Uzen saw some potential, ends up there as a slave.
The author of the original manga is the creator of the famous Akame Ga Kill! Takahiro, and the film adaptation was entrusted to Seven Arcs. Such a tandem promises a very interesting story in its niche, although a decent part of the community has a disdainful opinion about the harem genre with ecchi. Mato Seihei no Slave promises a light-hearted story with fan service and cute girls to while away your evenings.
Another world cannot withstand the power of instant death
- Genre: action, adventure, fantasy
- Director: Masakazu Hishida
- Studio: Okuruto Noboru
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 4, 2024
Egiri Takato wakes up on a tour bus and makes an unexpected discovery. It turns out that all his classmates and he himself were transported to another world by the Sage Zion, who granted almost everyone special powers. True, Yegiri himself slept through the whole thing, and now, together with his classmate Thomaotika, he is left as bait for the dragon, since he did not receive any abilities. True, he turns out to be an unusual guy with a surprise.
Reviews of the original light novel and the manga based on it are very contradictory, but a number of readers note the cheerful beginning and good jokes. Okuruto Noboru is still a fairly young and small studio, so you can hardly expect mind-blowing graphics and a high budget, but, on the other hand, the result could be a fun and lively anime series about an unusual guy and his girlfriend.
Unwanted immortal adventurer
- Genre: action, adventure, fantasy
- Director: Noriaki Akitaya
- Studio: Connect
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 8, 2024
Rent Fine was a copper-ranked adventurer for ten years, but he never gave up hope of increasing his status. During a monotonous trip to the dungeon, he accidentally discovered an unexplored passage and in it he encountered a dragon, who instantly ate him. The adventurer woke up in the form of a skeleton, undead, and, having understood some of the features of this state, he decides to slowly swing further and hope for the return of his human form.
In recent years, many fantasy series in the anime industry have been labeled as isekai, and such pure fantasy without rebirth from our world is like a breath of fresh air. What deserves special attention is that the protagonist is a skeleton, and this doesn’t look quite familiar. Noriaki Akitaya, moreover, previously had a hand in Code Geass and has good directorial experience, which gives some hope for performance.
Level up alone
- Genre: action, adventure, fantasy
- Director: Shunsuke Nakaju
- Studio: A-1 Pictures
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 6, 2024
Ten years before the start of the story, “gates” began to open around the world, leading to dungeons with monsters and a boss. Only hunters, people with special abilities, the chosen ones, among whom there are both strong and weak, can resist them. The main character, twenty-year-old Song Jinwoo, is a rank E hunter, one of the weakest, whose position changes dramatically when he and his comrades find another inside one dungeon.
Leveling Up Solo is one of the most popular, rated and audience-loved manhvas, whose fans have been asking for an anime adaptation for a long time. A-1 Pictures is a rather controversial studio, capable of delivering both a masterpiece and mediocrity with equal success, but the trailers look quite promising, so the anime community is waiting for the film adaptation with anticipation and curiosity.
In a separate article on the website we collected all the relevant details on Season XNUMX Leveling up alone.
Witch and monster
- Genre: action, fantasy, seinen
- Director: Takayuki Hamana
- Studio: Yokohama Animation Lab
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 11, 2024
Gido, a mysterious girl with the eyes of a beast and long fangs, and Ashaf, a sophisticated-looking man with a coffin strapped to his back, arrive in a city whose inhabitants worship witches. The townspeople are convinced that they are their heroes, but this mysterious and sinister couple has a different opinion and has come to settle scores. They are ready to kill anyone who stands in their way and will stop at nothing.
The Witch and the Monster are seinen, which already implies much tougher action, blood and darkness. Such things are designed for an older audience and are often less popular than their younger shounen counterparts, but this is where the charm lies. This new product is definitely recommended for fans of something dark, original and cruel to pay attention to.
New seasons of already released anime
Continuations of popular and beloved TV series are included in a separate section, many of which promise to be even better than the first seasons.

The action takes place in the prestigious Kodo Ikusei High School, where there is total competition between classes and a strict point system. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is the main character, who deliberately scored average in the entrance exams so as not to attract attention to himself. Having thus ended up in class D for defective students, he becomes a kind of “Eminence Gray”. Over the course of two seasons, the viewer watches intrigues, difficult exams and multiple moves. Based on the events of the last episode, in the sequel we can clearly expect a confrontation between Ayanokouji and Arisu Sakayanagi, further development of the relationship between Kiyotaka and Kei Karuizawa, and attempts to expel Kike Kushida from school.

Lunar journey will lead to a new world 2
- Genre: action, adventure, comedy, fantasy
- Director: Shinji Ishihira
- Studio: JCStaff
- Duration: 25 episodes
- Release date: January 8, 2024
Makoto Misumi was summoned to another world, but almost immediately the local goddess did not like him and was sent to the wasteland. As the plot progressed, the guy acquired connections, experienced many adventures, developed his powers and entered into master and servant contracts with two charming individuals: the “illusory misty dragon”, which he called Thomaoe, and the black disaster spider Mio. In the second season, light novel fans predict that the creators will most likely cover the university arc.
Even at the start, the lunar journey did not claim to be something large-scale or epoch-making. This is a simple series about a misfit, with a bit of a harem, good jokes, banter at some cliches of the genre, attractive female characters and vigorous action. Although with the change of studio many predict a drop in quality, the show is definitely worth giving a chance and watching to relax after a long day.
All relevant details have been collected in a separate article on the website. for season 2 The lunar journey will lead to a new world.
Shaman King: Flowers
- Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Supernatural, Super Power, Shonen
- Director: Joji Furuta
- Studio: Bridge
- Duration: 13 episodes
- Release date: January 10, 2024
The sequel to the legendary Shaman King, which previously received two adaptations, takes place ten years later. The story focuses on Anna and Yoh Asakura's son, Hana Asakura, who incorporates a number of traits from both parents in both appearance and personality. In his teenage years, young Hana demonstrates outstanding abilities that even surpass those of his father, dislikes school, Uncle Hao has found a bride for him, and new adventures and first enemies loom on the horizon.
The Shaman King: Flowers manga is inferior in ratings to the original story, and Bridge's work on the 2021 remake was criticized by many, although the studio tried not to deviate from the letter of the original, unlike the Xebec version. However, there is no need to bury the series ahead of time, because the management has probably drawn conclusions and this time will take into account their mistakes and will not repeat them again. Who knows, maybe Shaman King: Flowers will amaze viewers in a good way.
Magic and brawn 2
- Genre: action, comedy, fantasy, parody, school
- Director: Thomaoya Tanaka
- Studio: A-1 Pictures
- Duration: 12 episodes
- Release date: January 6, 2024
In a world where a person's power and status determine the amount of magic they have, people without magical abilities are considered a threat and are sought to be exterminated. Mash fell into this category and, living secretly in the forest with his father, he made up for the lack of magic with physical strength. In an effort to maintain a peaceful life with his parents, he enters the Magic Academy to become “God's Providence”, but along the way he must prevent his secret from being revealed. The second season, according to the creators, will be based on the “Examination for the Divine Gift Candidate” arc.
Mashle largely parodies the famous “Harry Potter” and at the same time contains features of such hits as “One Punch Man” and “Mob Psycho 100”. As a parody, the series is good and will at least make you smile with a number of comedic moments and references to the famous brainchild of JK Rowling or other anime. Fans of magic academies in a humorous way are definitely recommended to watch.
A separate article on the website contains all the relevant details. for season 2 of Magic and Muscles.
Danger in my heart 2
- Genre: Comedy, Romance, School, Shonen
- Director: Hiroaki Akagi
- Studio: Shin-Ei Animation
- Duration: 13 episodes
- Release date: January 6, 2024
The unsociable and reserved Ketaro Ichikawa has a rich imagination, although his fantasies are by no means good. The outwardly quiet schoolboy imagines killing his classmates, and a special “honor” is given to the first beauty in the parallel and fashion magazine model Anna Yamada. At a certain point, the fantasy becomes harder and harder to contain, but Ketaro accidentally runs into a girl in the school library, where she was secretly snacking, and sees another side of her, childish, tender and clumsy. After this, conflicting feelings begin to struggle in the young man’s soul, and the beauty suddenly pays attention to him.
Bokuyaba is a warm and quite realistic story about an introverted and unsociable man who really wants to be noticed. A similar plot idea can be seen in different series, for example, in “Don’t mock me, Nagatoro” or “Kubo doesn’t forgive me - moba”. Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu has a somewhat banal premise, but it is pleasant and easy to watch, and some moments can spark a storm of emotions.
