Returning Most Anticipated Anime in 2023

1. Demon Slayer season 3: Swordsmith Village Arc

The war between humans and demons will continue when Demon Slayer returns in April for its third season. Two new heroes, the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, will appear in the Swordsmith Village Arc. The two Hashira, alongside Demon Slayer's main protagonist Tanjiro Kamado will battle two Upper-Rank demons, Hantengu and Gyokko, who both have ruthless and heartless personalities.

Moreover, the upcoming Demon Slayer season will feature new characters and deeper themes of devotion, duty, and sacrifice, which will be a thrilling and significant part of the Demon Slayer narrative. In fact, to get Demon Slayer fans excited by Japanese production companies Aniplex and Shueisha, along with animation studio Ufotable, the second Demon Slayer movie, "To the Swordsmith Village," which depicts the events of Season 2 and the first episode of Season 3, will be released. If you liked the previous seasons, you'd appreciate this storyline.

2. Attack On Titan: The Final Season 4 Part 3

Attack on Titan's final season was a lengthy one with several sections. However, given the number of projects Studio MAPPA has completed, it is not surprising that the final season of Attack on Titan is taking so long. The fourth season final episode should be released, capping off the villainous Eren Jaeger storyline. Eren Yeager had a drastic character change that changed him from a revenge-driven protagonist to a genocidal maniac. As a result, Armin, Mikasa, and an unusual group of heroes are forced to do whatever it takes to bring Eren back to Earth. Otherwise, they risk losing their once-loved friend and the entire universe.

Now that the manga has come to an end, it's time for the anime to fully reveal Eren's crazy scheme and what he intends to do after the Rumbling in Season 4's second half. More questions about the Titans' historical background are revealed as the tale develops. The final part os season 4 will show how Eren's fate unfolds and what happens to the rest of the world! However, a precise release date in 2023 has yet to be determined for this ten-year odyssey to finally come to an end since the series' initial debut in 2013.

3. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

A dark shounen action anime series by Studio Mappa, Jujutsu Kaisen, made a big entrance into the anime world in 2020. The magical force known as Cursed Energy and the supernatural beings generated from it, called Curses, is the center of the Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) universe. Jujutsu Sorcerers are unique individuals that can combat cursed energy to protect humanity.

And Jujutsu Kaisen's second season cannot be overlooked. With the Hidden Inventory Premature Death arc, which also has a high school student character with the last name Fushiguro, and the backstory of Satoru Gojo and his childhood friend, Suguru Geto, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will continue this trip down memory lane. The thrilling Shibuya Incident Arc, in which we get to see more Gojo action, will also be included. A precise release date hasn't been disclosed yet due to the length and intensity of the next Jujutsu Kaisen arcs, so get ready for more JJK in 2023!

4. Tokyo Revengers season 2: Christmas Showdown

Readers who enjoy spooky and action-packed fiction will enjoy this anime. Tokyo Revenger is an anime produced by LIDENFILMS. But those rights are now owned by Disney+. The anime's main character is a guy by the name of Takemichi Hanagaki, who frequently travels back in time and assumes the persona of a younger version of himself to protect his ex-girlfriend from gang violence. But he soon realizes that there are many more people he sincerely wants to save. Tokyo Revenger was destined to become very popular with their climax plot, Bloody Halloween Arc.

Now, the season two debut of Tokyo Revengers, titled Christmas Showdown, is eagerly awaited for January. It will proceed in the same manner as the Christmas showdown, which will include the bloody conflict in which the Tokyo Manji Gang must contend with Black Dragon, a new, ferocious foe. In addition to the internal issues that our hero fights to resolve, season 2 will focus on the external issues that the Tokyo Manji Gang must deal with, making fans undoubtedly be on the edge of their seats the entire time.

5. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2

The second season of the hugely successful anime Mushoki Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is another anime you need to watch. The plot revolves around a 34-year-old Japanese guy who has been resurrected as the magically skilled Rudeus Greyrat in a different reality. Rudeus is now an adolescent in Season 2 and attends the Ranoa University of Magic. Viewers may anticipate seeing familiar faces return as well as a crucial turning point in the series as he comes to terms with his loss and gains fresh knowledge about the world he now lives in.

The main director of Season 2 will be Manabu Okamoto, noted for his work on Darling in the Franxx and Akame ga Kill! Re: Zero, Beginning Life in a Different World & Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 will be released in 2023; however, no specific date has been set.

6. Vinland Saga season 2

Any time is a good time to hear the Thorfinn tale. In the historical animation Vinland Saga, the realm of the kings and civilizations of the eleventh century is brought to life. Thorfinn, a young Viking warrior who is out to avenge his father's murder, is the story's protagonist. The first season focuses mostly on the warrior's life he'd devoted to rival factions, while season 2 offers a more reflective look at the protagonists' daily lives.

Thorsfinn's character's continuous evolution from a deeply hurt and vengeful child to a confused and questioning adolescent with no clear direction in life appears to be the focus of Season 2. While information is currently lacking, the first two official trailers for Vinland Saga Season 2 indicate that many new acquaintances will be crucial to Thorsfinn's impending struggles. We're interested to see how far Thorsfinn will travel on his quest, especially given the obvious hints that the famous Vinland is also in the distance.

New Anime Releases in 2023

1. Solo Leveling

The anime version of one of the most popular webcomic Solo Leveling is scheduled to debut in 2023. In the imaginary world of Solo Leveling, Hunters are endowed with magical powers. The hunter, who is the story's focus, is initially the least powerful of them all. We'll follow this man's development as the strongest Hunter ever.

The show centers on Jinwoo, a weak hunter tasked with defending people from the monsters that stalk the globe. He is chosen by an enigmatic force that bestows him superhuman strength, changing the course of his existence. The company behind Erased and Sword Art Online, A-1 Pictures, will direct this adaptation. Along the story, the fans will experience a wide range of emotions, but they will be especially moved as Jinwoo goes through so much turmoil before becoming the best hunter in the world.

2. Trigun Stampede

This is the one for viewers who want to start a fresh series with a fresh mood. A well-known action manga series by Yasuhiro Nightow served as the inspiration for Trigun Stampede, a sci-fi action anime that debuted on January 7, 2023. Trigun Stampede is a classic that goes beyond simply converting from 2D to 3D animation for improved aesthetics. Beyond the scope of the original adaptation, Studio Orange is modernizing character designs, adding new characters, and exploring more of the Trigun Universe. By using CGI rather than traditional animation, Studio Orange's anime aims to have a contemporary feel.

Trigun's creator, Yasuhiro Nightow, hinted that the new anime wouldn't just be a repetition of what has already been done in the anime and manga. Thus, fans may expect a surprising journey as a result. The story centers on the notorious assassin Vash the Stampede, who has a 60 billion double-dollar bounty on his head. Vash must face a shadowy force seeking him, piece together his amnesiac history, and figure out why he has a 60 billion double-dollar bounty on his head. There are more plotlines in the story as well, which will be revealed as the show goes on.

3. Jigokuraku

One of the most well-liked mangas is called Jigokuraku and is called Hell's Paradise. Along with the Shounen classics Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell's Paradise is considered one of the "black trifectas" and will eventually have an anime adaptation in the spring of 2023.

This series will undoubtedly be excellent because it is being animated by Studio MAPPA. MAPPA anime studio also handled the same-category titles Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, and the studio has done an outstanding job of manga adaptation. One of the most anticipated anime shows, Hell's Paradise, will premiere in April 2023, so be sure to put that date on your calendars.

4. Nier Automata

Nier Automata is a fresh new series based on the same-named Platinum Games action RPG. In order to save the Earth from an advancing machine army, two YoRHa androids named 2B and 9S engaged in a proxy war in the year 11,945 AD.

Ryouji Masuyama, the series' director, and Yoko Taro, the game's director, collaborated on the series' screenplay, which debuted on January 8. Although little is known about the series, it is reported that Yui Ishikawa, who played Mikasa Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Natsuki Hanae, who played Tanjiro in Demon Slayer, and Hiroki Yasumoto, who played Pod 042 in Bleach, will play 2B, 9S, and 042, respectively. Since A-1 Pictures is animating the series, excellent animation is guaranteed.

5. Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

For those who want content other than action and superpowers, romcom anime never go out of style. Shueisha announced in May 2022 that Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible would have its first-ever anime adaptation in January 2023. The hopes are obviously high because the series' director, Kazuomi Koga, is well renowned for working on romcom ventures like Rent-A-Girlfriend.

Junta Shiraishiis is a quiet, reserved youngster in high school who isn't particularly recognizable to his friends or teachers. However, Junta's lovely and endearing classmate Kubo always recognizes him and is there to torment him.

6. Mashle: Magic and Muscles

Mashle is a Shounen, although it is a much lighter read in contrast to Hell's Paradise. Mash Burnedead enrolls in the esteemed Easton Magic Academy despite having no magical abilities at all, much like Black Clover, where everyone lives in a world of magic, and those without it are outsiders.

Sincerely, this anime will be one to watch out for; imagine One Punch Man in a Harry Potter universe. Keep a look out for this Spring anime, which is scheduled to be released in April 2023. You can watch this entertaining and cheerful animation in one sitting.
