From the culmination of timeless epics to the return of popular newcomers, these sequels are poised to make a significant impact on the anime world.

For enthusiasts of manga, the excitement is heightened significantly. Several forthcoming seasons plan to adapt some of their series’ most memorable and transformative storylines, promising moments that will be etched in memory. Here are six upcoming anime continuations that have fans on tenterhooks.

6. Wind Breaker

Season 2

In a world dominated by troublemakers from high schools, Wind Breaker offers an intriguing mix of battles, camaraderie, and personal development. The narrative focuses on Haruka Sakura, a new student with a frosty disposition who is determined to demonstrate his power. Upon entering Furin High, a school known more for its peacekeeping than causing chaos, Haruka finds himself embarking on an unexpected journey, one where fights aren’t just about asserting dominance but about upholding justice and fostering friendships.

In Season 1, we followed Haruka as he embarked on his journey into the Furin group and encountered fierce confrontations with the school’s top-tier students, notably Umemiya. Using his actions more than words, Haruka gradually forged connections, overcoming his initial reluctance.

In the upcoming Season 2, we’ll delve further into confrontations with competing schools and street gangs, introducing formidable new enemies. The manga suggests intense clashes that will stretch Haruka to his utmost capabilities, challenging not only his physical prowess but also his emotional defenses. Action enthusiasts eagerly await more thrilling fight scenes, stunning animations, and character progression that solidifies Wind Breaker as a can’t-miss choice for action fans.

5. Hell’s Paradise

Season 2

MAPPA’s version of Hell’s Paradise (Jigokuraku) gripped viewers with its intense battles and enigmatic island backdrop. The initial season presents us with Gabimaru the Empty, a renowned ninja condemned to die, who strikes a deal to hunt for the elixir of eternal life on a mysterious island in return for his liberty.

The initial season captivated viewers due to its raw depiction of violence contrasted with breathtaking, almost dreamlike scenery. Shinsenkyo Island emerged as a character in its own right alongside the human cast, with its strange plant-human hybrids and unexplained occurrences adding an enigmatic charm.

In Season 2, viewers can anticipate delving deeper into the enigmas of the island and raising the tension levels. Manga aficionados are already aware of the upcoming events. Expect intense clashes with the Tensen, further insights into the intricate lore of Tao, the vital force that governs power in this universe, along with some emotionally charged sacrifices. Furthermore, the new season will shed light on Gabimaru’s fluctuating determination. Will he ultimately choose to reunite with his wife, or has the island left an indelible mark on him?

4. Fire Force

Season 3

Fire Force is gradually gearing up for its climactic end, and Season 3 promises some long-awaited highlights. The Special Fire Force Unit 8 persists in their struggle against the Evangelist, while Shinra Kusakabe uncovers additional strength by tapping into his Adolla link.

Without a doubt, among the fights that fans eagerly anticipate being animated is the clash between Arthur Boyle and the Dragon. Known as the Knight King, Arthur has always been an enigma, but his fate intersects with that of Dragon, the most powerful combatant under the Evangelist. This confrontation, acclaimed in the manga as one of the most visually spectacular showdowns, will push Arthur to limits he’s never known before.

Season 3 will delve further into the roots of our world, uncovering facts about spontaneous human combustion and a cataclysmic past that redefined civilization. Since Atsushi Okubo is connected to Soul Eater, be ready for some significant revelations linking the two storylines.

3. Classroom Of The Elite

Season 3

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji isn’t like most high school protagonists; his sharp and strategic mind has orchestrated significant events at Advanced Nurturing High School so that Class 1-D maintains its dominant position. However, in the upcoming Season 3 of Classroom of the Elite, his past is set to confront him.

The latest season sheds light on the enigma surrounding the White Room, the institution behind Ayanokoji’s extraordinary intellect. With his father attempting to oust him from school, he finds himself in a fresh set of challenges as he ascends the power ladder. The classroom conflicts will escalate, fresh rivalries will surface, and Ayanokoji will face trials unlike any before.

This season holds intrigue with its mental challenges, deceit, and intense mental combat that surpasses previous levels. As more light novel content is translated, audiences can anticipate breathtaking disclosures regarding Ayanokoji’s hidden talents.

2. My Hero Academia

Final Season

Everything began when there was a boy lacking any special ability, yet brimming with heroic spirit. Now, the last season of My Hero Academia sets out to wrap up Izuku Midoriya’s lengthy and challenging odyssey as he strives to become the world’s most exceptional hero.

The importance of what’s at hand has never been greater. Following the Dark Deku storyline where Deku made the choice to isolate himself for the sake of safeguarding others, we are now on the brink of the grand finale – a war between heroes and villains that will take place. For manga enthusiasts, this stage is the epic confrontation of values, with One For All going head-to-head against All For One in a battle that will decide the fate of hero society.

Each significant character will experience their defining moment, ranging from Bakugo’s transformation into a hero to Shigaraki’s final destiny. Prepare for emotional setbacks, exhilarating victories, and the conclusion of one of the most influential modern Shonen anime series. Regardless of the outcome, this will mark the climactic battle for Class 1-A.

1. Demon Slayer

Infinity Castle

The forthcoming season of Demon Slayer will feature one of the most eagerly awaited storylines in contemporary anime: the Infinity Castle arc. This isn’t just a regular season; it’s a massive battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji’s army, offering uninterrupted action, heart-wrenching sacrifices, and some of the series’ most spectacular animation to date.

Anticipation has built up over this climactic event. The confrontations between Giyu and Akaza, Sanemi and Kokushibo, and most certainly, Tanjiro’s ultimate clash with Muzan are highly anticipated. Given Ufotable’s history of animation, it’s expected that the ever-changing structure of Infinity Castle, graceful fight scenes, and intense battles will raise the bar for anime aesthetics to new heights.

For fans of manga, this storyline is incredibly intense and full of surprises, as the lives of cherished characters hang precariously in the balance. With each prior season raising anticipation to unprecedented heights, Infinity Castle is predicted to become an absolute classic.

I’m eagerly counting down the days until the initial film of this series premieres in Japanese cinemas on July 18th. The tale coming to life on the large screen promises to be a moment I’ll remember forever.
