If you enjoy Isekai stories where the world and challenges grow with each season, then That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is a great choice. When Rimuru becomes a Demon Lord, it creates bigger problems for his city, Tempest, as they now face much more powerful enemies.
As Rimuru grows more powerful, the challenges and conflicts around him also increase, and the fourth season promises even more intense action. With five parts planned, the season will be quite lengthy, so viewers should definitely plan to stick with it.

3). One Piece: Elbaph Arc
Release Date: April 5th (Crunchyroll)
I usually don’t include One Piece when I make my seasonal anime lists, but things have changed. The anime is now following a seasonal release schedule, meaning a new arc is starting alongside all the other new shows. Instead of getting one episode each week throughout the year, we’re going to receive a full 26 episodes covering the Elbaph arc.

The creator of the popular anime Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? recently released Wistoria: Wand and Sword, which quickly became a standout new fantasy series. The story takes place in a magical world and centers around a hero who doesn’t have any magical powers of his own. Instead, he relies on his skills with a sword and his physical strength to overcome challenges.
He’s determined to climb the ranks and reconnect with his incredibly talented childhood friend, facing powerful enemies along the way with courage and determination. Featuring exciting action and a compelling story, this second season looks set to continue the show’s success.
1). Dorohedoro Season 2

It’s been six years since the anime adaptation of Q Hayashida’s Dorohedoro first aired, a launch made even more remarkable by occurring during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
