Summer 2024 is ending and will give way to fall starting on September 21st. And who says new season says new anime coming! We take stock of the six anime that we are most looking forward to for fall 2024.
#1 Dragon Ball Daima (Toei Animation)
A few months after the tragic death of the legendary Akira Toriyama, his fans will be able to discover the last work he supervised: Dragon Ball Daima. In this new animated series, the Z Warriors have been shrunk to tiny size, upending their lives and fighting techniques. Son Goku and his friends embark on a grand adventure in order to return to their normal size. Dragon Ball Daimacarries the promise of a true return to the roots for Akira Toriyama, reconnecting with the humor of Dr. Slump and the beginning of Dragon Ball, with the sense of the epic of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super.The series will be launched in Japan on October 11, 2024. Crunchyroll will broadcast the first episode of the series on the same day in several territories, but not in Europe. We will not fail to inform you about the French release!
#2 Dandadan (Science Saru)
Adapting the eponymous manga by Yakinobu Tatsu, the anime Dandadan(sometimes spelled Dan Da Dan) is a crazy bet from the Japanese studio Science SARU. Mixing rom com, action, aliens and other ghosts, this new anime – of which we were able to see the first three episodes in preview – will undoubtedly convince anime fans both thanks to its very solid animation, its humor and its duo of particularly endearing characters. The series will be broadcast in French-speaking countries on Netflix, Crunchyroll and Anime Digital Network, starting in October.
#3 Ranma 1/2 (MAPPA)
200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000Club Dorothée fans are definitely spoiled. While Dragon Ball Daimawill mark the grand return of Akira Toriyama's saga, Rumiko Takahashi's classic will get a makeover with a remake by the famous MAPPA studio. Mixing martial arts and romantic comedy, Ranma 1/2 is a legendary work, which we can't wait to rediscover from October 5, 2024 on Netflix. Given the renewed interest in the great Rumiko Takahashi, as evidenced by the remake of Urusei Yatsura(in French, Lamu em>) by David Production and that of Ranma 1/2 by MAPPA, we pray very hard for a reboot of Maison Ikkoku (Juliette I love you).
#4 Uzumaki (Studio Drive, Production I.G., Adult Swim)
The master of Japanese horror is regularly in the spotlight during the fall seasons of Japanese animation. Just one year after Junji Itō's Maniac: Anthologie Macabre on Netflix, it's the turn of the manga Spirale (Uzumaki, in Japanese) to be adapted by Production I.G. and Adult Swim. Postponed several times – the anime was initially scheduled for 2020 -, Uzumaki tells the story of young Kirie Goshima, in a city that seems to fall under the curse of spiral patterns. A critique of Japanese capitalism, Uzumaki is a monument of Japanese fantasy! The anime will be released on September 28, 2024 on Adult Swim. We can therefore expect a release on the Max platform and on Amazon Prime Video via the Warner Pass.
#5 Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – season 3 (Studio Pierrot)
After a year of waiting, fans of Bleach will finally be able to discover the long-awaited conclusion of the anime adapted from the work of Tite Kubo. Indeed, from October 5, the third and final part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will land on the Disney+ platform, to the delight of fans of the Big Three. Fans are expecting an epic conclusion, enhanced by high-quality animation. Fingers crossed!
#6 Blue Lock – season 2 (8-Bit)
The new star of sports anime Blue Lock will return on October 5, 2024 with a season 2 of fourteen episodes, after a first season acclaimed by the press and fans of Japanese animation. Japanese studio 8-Bit, which produces the animated series, is aware of the impact of its golden goose, since earlier this year the animated film Blue Lock: Episode Nagi was released, adapting the eponymous manga spin-off.
