The Top 10 Summer 2024 Anime To Watch [Predictions]

Spring 2024 has come to an end, and with it, we welcome the summer season!

This upcoming season promises to bring us some fantastic new anime and highly anticipated continuations, such as the much-awaited second season of Oshi no Ko and new installments in the Monogatari franchise.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the best releases of the Summer 2024 season!

10. Suicide Squad ISEKAI

This summer 2024, an anime adaptation inspired by the Suicide Squad, the popular group of villains forced to become heroes, will be released.

If you’re a fan of this group and their adventures, mark your calendars: the date is June 27.

Amanda Waller has assembled a group of dangerous criminals for a mission forming the Suicide Squad, composed of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark.

With an explosive implanted in their necks, the squad is sent to a fantasy world connected to ours by a portal, to carry out a mission of utmost importance.

9. How to Become Ordinary (Shoushimin Series)

How to Become Ordinary is a slice of life/mystery anime with romantic tones set to release in July that seems to looks like it has all the elements to be interesting and worth a watch.

With its vibes similar to Hyouka, we recommend adding it to your watchlist.

Jogoro Kobato is a boy who, following a traumatic event, wishes to lead a normal and peaceful life.

One day he meets Yuki Osanai, a girl who shares his ideal of seeking serenity, and they form a strong bond.

The two begin attending school together, but their ideals are soon challenged as they become entangled in strange mysteries…

8. NieR:Automata Ver1.1a Second Season

NieR:Automata Ver1.1a is the anime adaptation of the successful video game NieR:Automata, which began in 2023 and has already shown promise as a great adaptation.

The new season is set to start in July, so mark the date.

The story picks up where the first season left off, continuing the adventures of 2B and 9S in their mission to liberate Earth from the invaders.

If you’ve been waiting to see how the story continues, the wait is over.

7. Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian seems to be the good and cute romance anime of this season.

As is common with anime of this genre, its premise may not be particularly innovative, but if you’re looking to have your heart melted by a lovely romantic anime, this is your pick for the summer.

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo, half Russian and half Japanese, is the most popular girl in school, and she sits next to Masachika Kuze, a boy she’s in love with.

Alisa often tells Masachika how much she loves him in Russian, believing he doesn’t understand her, but she doesn’t know that he actually knows her language…

6. My Deer Friend Nokotan

My Deer Friend Nokotan seems to be the next contender in the category of absurd and comedic school anime, in the style of Nichijou and Lucky Star.

If this is your type of anime and you enjoy a lighthearted series to have a good laugh, wait for its release in July.

Torako Koshi is a model student adored by her peers, who hides a past as a delinquent.

One day, she encounters Noko Shikanoko, a strange student with two deer antlers, hanging from the power lines while being attacked by a flock of birds.

The problem? Noko seems to understand Torako’s secret and threatens to reveal it to everyone. A school life hell awaits Torako…

5. DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION

DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION is the highly anticipated anime adaptation of the manga by Inio Asano, the same author behind Goodnight PunPun.

This marks the first of Asano’s works to be animated, and we hope it will be the first of many, as he is an incredible author who deserves some spotlight.

In this series, the world has been invaded by aliens, and no attempt to free humanity from their grasp seems to work.

In this backdrop, we follow the lives of two high school students, Koyama Kadode and her best friend Oran Nakagawa.

4. From me to You Season 3

From Me to You fans, rise! After a long wait, we finally get to see a new animated continuation of this beloved series.

The wait has been incredibly long (maybe a bit too long), but finally, the time has come. Mark it on every calendar: August 2024, From Me to You Season 3 begins!

After a long 13-year wait (yes, the second season of this anime came out in 2011!), we finally get to see the continuation of the love story between Sawako and Shota.

Get ready to have your heart melted once again by this incredible couple.

3. Tower of God Season 2

After a successful first season released in 2020, this summer brings us the much-anticipated Season 2 of Tower of God.

If you’ve been waiting for this moment, you can finally sigh with relief because the wait is over.

The story picks up right where the first season left off, with that enormous cliffhanger we all remember.

New characters, new adventures, and unexpected twists await you in this second season of the most famous manhwa ever!

2. Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season

No one expected it but against all odds after Zoku Owarimonogatari, which was released five years ago, a new series from the loved Monogatari franchise will premiere on July 6.

So yep, after many years, we can finally return to see new adventures of Araragi and the gang.

The Off Season is an adaptation of a collection of side stories that happened during the main series events, while the Monster Season is a true continuation of the events from where they left off.

Prepare to dive one more time in Monogatari Series’ madness.

1. Oshi no Ko – My Star Season 2

It’s hard not to reserve the top spot for the highly anticipated Season 2 of Oshi no Ko, one of the most acclaimed and hyped anime of recent years.

Fortunately the wait has been short, so let’s thank Doga Kobo studio for such a brief interlude and enjoy the continuation of this story! The date is July 3.

The story continues with Aqua and Ruby’s rise in the entertainment world as they search for clues about their father, while Aqua along with Kana and Akane becomes involved in the production of a theatrical performance.

It’s one of the best parts in the entire series and you can start getting hyped now!
