Below is nearly every major upcoming anime show out in 2024. It ranges from Netflix's upcoming slate of video game entries - Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider both feature - to some old favorites and new faces. 

We're starting in alphabetical order and that means beginning with perhaps this year's most hotly anticipated anime: Arcane season 2.

Arcane season 2

Release date: November 2024

Where to watch Arcane season 2: Netflix

Arcane, the anime set in the League of Legends universe, was a smash hit upon its release in November 2021. Three years on, we’re finally getting the fallout to the conflict between the cities of Piltover and Zaun – and the two sisters caught in the middle: Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell). An Arcane season 2 trailer was released earlier in 2024, teasing a "nightmarish augmentation" and a major storyline for Singed. A new poster has also emerged, featuring a reversal of Vi and Jinx's relationship...

Beastars season 3

2024 marks the year where we say goodbye to Beastars, the anime set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, looking at the rising tensions between carnivores and herbivores. The series focuses on the affable grey wolf Legoshi and his complicated relationship with rabbit Haru at the Cherryton school.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3

Where to watch Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3: Hulu/Disney Plus

Yes, Bleach is still going and, yes, it's still amazing. The adaptation of the final arc continues and sees Ichigo return for 'The Conflict'. The first trailer was released at Jump Festa and offers up a scintillating teaser for the upcoming battle between our protagonist and Wandenreich's emperor Yhwach.

Blood of Zeus season 2

Where to watch Blood of Zeus season 2: Netflix

After the twin-related twist at the end of the first season, Blood of Zeus is set to be an epic addition to Netflix's burgeoning anime collection. With Heron still reeling and the gods gunning for the son of Zeus, it's all available for an Olympus-sized binge with season 2 now on Netflix

Blue Exorcist season 3

Release date: Finished airing

Where to watch Blue Exorcist season 3: Crunchyroll

Blue Exorcist fans sure have been patient. The first season premiered way back in 2011 and the second season arrived in 2017. After another long break, the new season will continue the saga of Rin, the son of Satan. Expect more brutal cliffhangers and surprises as we return to True Cross Academy.

Blue Exorcist adapted the Shimane Illuminati Saga, with all new episodes now available on Crunchyroll.

Blue Lock season 2

Release date: October 2024

Where to watch Blue Lock season 2: TBC

Blue Lock has a spin-off movie out this year (see more below for that), but there's also a new season to 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.

Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture

Release date: June 21, 2024

Set after the events of the acclaimed Lelouch of the Resurrection, Roze of the Recapture will supposedly be the first of a multi-part saga. Roze will be played by the prolific voice actor Kohei Amasaki. Little else is known about the project's story, however.

The first part of Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture will launch on Disney Plus on June 21, 2024.

Classroom of the Elite season 3

Release date: Finished

Where to watch Classroom of the Elite season 3: Crunchyroll

As the name might suggest, Classroom of the Elite focuses on the cohort of the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, a facility designed to nurture the best and brightest Japan has to offer. Unfortunately for newcomer Kiyotaka, he's in class 1-D - 'D' for 'Defective'. The third season rounded out the manga's arc that covers the first school year.

Dandadan

Release date: October 2024

Where to watch Dandadan: TBA

Could this be the next big anime in 2024? Dandadan has sold over 3 million copies and its odd premise - Momo and Okarun, who believe in spirits and UFOs respectively, before coming into contact with poltergeists and extraterrestrials amid a budding romance - has proven to be a hit with readers. It's all set to release this October.

Delicious in Dungeon

Release date: Ongoing

Where to watch Delicious in Dungeon: Netflix

This year started off piping hot with Delicious in Dungeon, a kooky anime series that centres on the bid to rescue adventurer Falin from the belly of the beast - literally. Along the way, the band of heroes cook up some tantalizing treats and mouthwatering meals for the party as they inch ever closer to the dungeon.

Demon Slayer season 4

Release date: May 12, 2024 (ongoing)

Where to watch Demon Slayer season 4: Crunchyroll

One of the world's most popular anime, Demon Slayer tells the story of Tanjiro, a boy who faces family tragedy after an encounter with murderous demons. He, along with his friends Inosuke, Zenitsu, and half-demon sister Nezuko, set out to strike back at the Upper Rank demons with the help of the heroic group of Hashira warriors.

Season 4 takes another step towards Tanjiro becoming a fully-fledged Hashira. The aptly-named Hashira Training arc premiered this spring and is currently airing on Crunchyroll.

Devil May Cry

Where to watch Devil May Cry: Netflix

It's taken a few years for Dante to come to our screens but we're almost there. Of course, the devil is in the detail but it all sounds promising enough: The adaptation of the iconic hack-and-slash Capcom game is heading our way in 2024 and will feature a younger Dante. It'll be brought to life by Studio Mir, best known for its work on The Legend of Korra.

Dragon Ball Daima

Release date: Fall 2024

Where to watch Dragon Ball Daima: TBA

A new Dragon Ball series was announced back in 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 40th anniversary.

Before his death, Akira Toriyama revealed that the show will take place in a "new world" after Goku and his friends are "turned small". Expect mini-sized hijinks later this year.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Where to watch Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: Crunchyroll

The second cour of fantasy anime Frieren began in January and continues the story of elven mage Frieren who, after defeating the Demon King, returns to see the band of heroes she fought alongside either growing old or dying. Due to her longevity, she travels north to bid a final farewell to one, Himmel. Along the way, she sets about discovering more of the world and befriending new people. It was a hugely acclaimed journey, too, reaching the top spot on anime site MyAnimeList.

From Me to You season 3

Release date: 2024

Where to watch From Me to You season 3: Netflix

Otherwise known as Kimi ni Todoke, From Me to You is a slice-of-life romance drama that will tug at the heartstrings. It involves the timid, shy Sawako (cruelly nicknamed 'Sadako' due to her resemblance to the creature from The Ring) coming out of her shell amid a blossoming relationship with popular classmate Kazehaya.

Despite the second season ending in 2011, a third season is coming to Netflix later this year. 

Kaiju No. 8

Where to watch Kaiju No. 8: Crunchyroll

One of the most popular manga of recent years, Kaiju No. 8 is getting an exciting anime adaptation from Production I.G. (Haikyu, Ghost in the Shell). It's also be streamed exclusively on Crunchyroll at the same time as its release in Japan.

In a world devastated by continual kaiju attacks, Kafka Hibino sets about finally making the grade for the Defense Force. Until now, he's only part of Monster Sweeper, the clean-up crew, while his childhood friend Mina Ashiro makes captain. After an incident, Kafka has to hide a monstrous secret from his friends and co-workers...

You can watch the new trailer for Kaiju No. 8 now.
