The summer anime season has come roaring to life, with returning audience favorites like Dan Da Dan (featured on our ” Best of 2024 ” list), as well as fresh new adaptations like CITY: The Animation hitting streaming. As ever, there’s a vast range of flavors: creepy countryside horror, sweet romances about cosplaying, understated adaptations of classic literature. If you go further back in the year, there’s even more to catch up on, including a new Gundam series, the ongoing adventures of Yaiba , or the enthralling medical mysteries of The Apothecary Diaries season two. We sifted through this busy season to find the highlights.
Titles are listed by premiere date, with the most recent series up top.
