That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 3
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime season 3 returns for another isekai adventure with Rimuru and the gang. Rimuru returns to square one after what happened last season–but with new challenges come new friends and foes. Its stylized isekai style and lovable characters make it a good series to watch for light novels and anime fans.
Kaiju No. 8
And it’s among the most eagerly anticipated brand new anime series of this season – Kaiju No. 8. Based on Naoya Matsumoto’s manga, this action anime takes place in a world under invasion by gigantic kaiju (gigantic beasts). It focuses on Kafka Hibino, 32, who is accidentally transformed into a kaiju-like creature. Kafka disguises himself as “Kaiju No. 8,” while keeping his identity secret from his friend Reno. Made by legendary Production I.G and with kaiju designs by Khara (creators of Neon Genesis Evangelion), it’s a visual feast for anime fans.
Wind Breaker
Wind Breaker is the show for those who would like some martial arts action. Based on Satoru Nii’s manga, it follows Haruka Sakura – a brash high school student captivated by being the strongest. Little does he know that the delinquents at his new school are secretly protecting the town from harm. And Haruka couldn’t care less, he’s determined to prove himself, panning the path for some epic fights and action scenes.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 2nd Cour
