Anime Coming Out In October 2024

Okay, folks, gather 'round! Let's dish some tea – or, you know, green tea – about what anime goodness is about to slap us in the face this October. Forget pumpkin spice lattes, October is all about anime spice! I’ve been scouring the internet like a weeaboo detective, dodging spoilers like ninja stars, to bring you the lowdown on what's dropping this fall. Prepare yourselves, because it's gonna be a wild ride.

Sequels That Will Make You Scream (Internally, Of Course…Unless?)

Let's start with the heavy hitters, the sequels that are basically guaranteed to trend on Twitter every single week. These are the ones that’ll have you cancelling plans faster than you can say "kawaii!"

• That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Part 2: Yes, you heard it right, another part! Apparently, being a ridiculously overpowered slime just wasn't enough content for one season. Expect more world-building, more political intrigue, and probably Rimuru accidentally becoming even MORE powerful. Honestly, I’m starting to suspect he’s got a cheat code. Did you know that slimes, in real life, are actually kinda terrifying? Okay, not like Rimuru, more like… well, blobs of primordial goo. Let's stick to anime slimes, shall we?
• SPY x FAMILY Season 3: Anya's back, folks! Prepare for more telepathic hijinks, Loid's ridiculously perfect spy skills, and Yor's... uh... "unique" parenting style. Season 2 left us on a cliffhanger so sharp, you could cut diamonds with it, so expect the stakes to be higher than Anya's forehead (which is, incidentally, quite high). Fun fact: did you know that the voice actress for Anya, Atsumi Tanezaki, also voices Empressoire from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Talk about range!
• Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3: Rudeus is back to… well, being Rudeus. Expect more magic, more personal growth (hopefully!), and more awkward situations that make you want to hide behind your pillow. Look, the guy's got issues, okay? But the world-building is top-notch, the animation is stunning, and the story is genuinely compelling. Just…brace yourself for some questionable moments. Did you know that the light novel the anime is based on is incredibly long? We're talking epic LOTR-level length. Hope you’re in it for the long haul!

New Anime Series That Might Just Blow Your Mind (or at Least Mildly Entertain You)

Okay, so sequels are cool and all, but what about the new kids on the block? These are the anime that could become the next big thing, the dark horses that might just steal your heart. Or, you know, they might be terrible. But hey, that's the thrill of discovery, right?

• Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.0 (Working Title): Okay, this isn't officially announced yet, but there are whispers, rumors, and enough fan theories to fill Arasaka Tower. Given the phenomenal success of the first season (seriously, I cried like a baby at the end), it's practically a certainty. Expect more neon-drenched action, more morally grey characters, and more existential dread about the future of humanity. And maybe, just maybe, David Martinez will come back... in a robot body! Or as a ghost! Or… look, I’m just coping, okay? Did you know the anime actually helped the Cyberpunk 2077 game make a massive comeback? Talk about a symbiotic relationship!
• Gamera -Rebirth- Season 2: Gamera is back and is still protecting us from the evil kaijus. With more action and even more terrifying monsters, can Gamera protect Earth from the unknown? Will season two reveal a Gamera-zilla teamup? One can only dream! Do you know Gamera was created by Daiei Film company in Japan to compete against Toho's Godzilla? They are very similar but each has a personality of their own.
• Magical Girl Raising Project: Reboot: Remember Magical Girl Raising Project? Well get ready for a new one! This series gives you all the magical girl feels with a darker twist. You get all the bright colors and cute costumes while exploring themes of survival and betrayal. Get ready for some twists and turns! Fun Fact: Magical Girl Raising project was created by Asari Endou and illustrated by Maruino.
• [Insert Random Isekai Title Here]: Okay, I'm kidding (sort of). But let's be honest, there's ALWAYS a new isekai anime coming out every season. This one will probably involve a guy getting hit by a truck and reincarnated as a vending machine in a fantasy world, or something equally ridiculous. Look, I love isekai as much as the next person, but can we maybe get a little more creative with the premise? Did you know that isekai literally translates to "different world"? Mind. Blown.

Hidden Gems and Sleeper Hits: The Anime You Might Overlook (But Shouldn't)

These are the anime that don't get the hype, the ones that fly under the radar. But sometimes, these are the best ones, the ones that surprise you with their originality and charm. Keep an eye out for these:

• Project Unnamed Mecha Anime from Studio Trigger: Okay, this is just a rumour but it's Studio Trigger, so the expectation is high! They are known for their visually striking and action-packed series. Expect the visuals to melt your eyeballs and the plot to be both heartwarming and completely bonkers. Bonus points if it involves giant robots punching each other in space. Fun fact: Studio Trigger was founded by former Gainax employees. Think Gurren Lagann levels of awesome.
• Adaptation of Obscure Manga No One's Heard Of: This is a classic anime trope. A small manga with a dedicated following gets an anime adaptation, and suddenly everyone's obsessed. It's usually a heartwarming slice-of-life story about friendship and overcoming adversity, with a dash of supernatural elements thrown in for good measure. Did you know that many popular anime, like Attack on Titan, started as relatively unknown manga?
• Anime Based on a Mobile Game You've Never Played: Mobile game adaptations are always a gamble. Sometimes they're surprisingly good (like Granblue Fantasy), and sometimes they're... well, let's just say they're not winning any awards. But hey, it's worth checking out if you're bored and looking for something new. Plus, you might just get addicted to the mobile game afterwards. Win-win! Did you know that Fate/Grand Order is one of the highest-grossing mobile games of all time? That's a lot of gacha pulls!

Final Thoughts (and a Plea to the Anime Gods)

So, there you have it! A sneak peek at the anime extravaganza that awaits us this October. Remember to stay hydrated, get enough sleep (yeah, right!), and be prepared to spend countless hours glued to your screen. And please, anime gods, bless us with good animation, compelling stories, and minimal filler episodes. Amen.

One last thing, don't forget to support the creators! Watch anime legally, buy the merchandise (if you can afford it), and spread the word about your favorite shows. After all, we want more anime, right? So let's do our part to keep the industry thriving. Now go forth and consume anime! I believe in you!
