2022 came with a blockbuster-level start when it comes to new anime releases, with heavy-hitters like Attack on Titan season 4, Demon Slayer season 2, and the _Jujutsu Kaisen 0 _theatrical movie releasing all within the first quarter of the year. But the rest of the year is shaping up to be a dense one all the same with what’s coming up in TV and film, feeling similar to how big the 2019 and 2020 anime seasons were.

This genre has never been more ingrained into the mainstream on such an international scale, and big-name franchises like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and My Hero Academia all lined up to return will ensure that fans will have plenty of anime to chew on throughout l’anno.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

Series creator Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball _franchise has long since been an anime staple globally, with _DBZ specifically being one of the go-to series for when the genre as a whole hadn’t reached the mainstream peak we’re seeing now. Dragon Ball Super was the first canonical TV continuation of Z, and though the show has stopped short compared to the manga, it appears the movies will keep it going into the future.

Broly was a success worldwide, and this year’s Super Hero looks to be another nostalgia trip by involving the original 1980s series’ villainous group, the Red Ribbon Army. And to much fan delight, it looks like Super Hero will give much due respect and spotlight to Piccolo and Gohan.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ‘s April release has been stalled, but should release later this year.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Part 2

The colorfully bombastic anime adaptation of Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga has lived up to every bit of its wonderfully colorful reputation — and title. The latest season, Stone Ocean, hasn’t disappointed so far. The only thing that seems to be letting down fans is the painfully sporadic “batch” releases of episodes as opposed to weekly, as they’ve only had the first 12 episodes since December 2021.

Nonetheless, the second batch of Stone Ocean episodes has a fall release date where fans can continue Jolyne Cujoh’s stylish prison-break adventures and colorfully violent exploits to save her father Jotaro.

The second part (episodes 13-24) of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean will release on Netflix.

Chainsaw Man

MAPPA has worked some serious animation magic with their work on Attack on Titan season 4, Jujutsu Kaisen, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and more, and it looks like they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ultra-violent and surprisingly — and somberly — introspective Chainsaw Man manga finished less than two years ago, and its acclaim earned a sequel manga series and MAPPA’s attachment to animate the first.

The series is almost as ridiculous as the name sounds, but it’s relentless in how willing it is to explore the abyss of depression and loneliness. It’s filled with a thoroughly compelling cast of characters with the depth to match, and fans should be in for an equal part action-packed and emotionally gut-wrenching story that’s refreshingly unlike most other shonen series.

Chainsaw Man is set to premiere sometime in 2022.

My Hero Academia Season 6

In terms of equivalents, My Hero Academia is perhaps the closest to what Naruto achieved in the 2000s and early 2010s. Kohei Horikoshi’s manga and the studio Bones anime adaptation that followed easily garnered the shonen fan following, with the colorful superhero adventures of Deku and the rest of Class 1-A an easy fit for current pop culture trends.

Though it didn’t gain the same warm reception as previous seasons, season 5 set up massive stakes for the upcoming sixth, as the cast of heroes is about to be hit with war from the Paranormal Liberation Front.

My Hero Academia season 6 premieres in October.

One Piece: Red

The last true survivor of the era of “The Big Three” — One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach — is still going strong in this new decade. Eiichiro Oda’s critically acclaimed pirate odyssey is one of the greatest in the shonen genre, as the series has repeatedly demonstrated its enduring qualities in long-form storytelling and excruciating attention to detail when it comes to character arcs, lore, and worldbuilding.

Despite Oda’s involvement with the movies, they’ve all been deemed non-canonical to the series. However, One Piece: Red is drumming up speculation that this could be the first canon film. The marketing has been hyping up Luffy’s mentor and franchise icon Red-Haired Shanks, along with a new female protagonist.

One Piece: Red releases in theaters in Japan on August 6, with the rest of the world TBA.

Vinland Saga Season 2

Il Viking Epic vinland Saga di Makoto Yukimura potrebbe essere sostenuto come nello stesso livello del tardo Kentaro’s vagabond e Tekehiko Inoue’s vagabond per il più grande manga mai messo a penna e carta, e l’adattamento dell’anime del 2019 gli ha dato una meritata quota della ribalta.

In termini di storia e premessa, è più in linea con quest’ultimo come fiction storica ma racconta una storia di vendetta di avvincente ed emotivamente risonante, imparando a lasciare andare il passato, e cosa significa raggiungere la pace in una terra e nel tempo pieno di pace barbarie. Thorfinn ha attraversato la progressione dei personaggi traumatici nella stagione 1, e la stagione 2 si adatterà a uno dei gruppi storici più auto-riflessivi per il giovane conflitto.

Vinland Saga Season 2 non ha una data di rilascio difficile ma è speculata a Premiere a volte quest’anno, con la stagione 1 disponibile su Amazon Prime Video.

candeggina: migliaia di guerra del sangue

Dopo essere stato messo in ghiaccio per diversi anni, un altro membro del “Big Three” Giorni di Manga / Anime farà finalmente un colpo a finire la sua storia sullo schermo d’argento. L’azione soprannaturale di Tite Kubo Shonen bleach ha iniziato a nascere verso il tratto finale della sua corsa anime, specificamente dopo la tentatura arrancar arco e la lotta a Aizen climattica, viene tagliata breve prima che potesse adattare l’arco finale del manga.

L’arco è uno controverso tra i fan die-duri, ma così sicuramente ci sarà così abbondantemente entusiasmante una prospettiva dell’anime bleach Alla fine ottenendo una conclusione corretta, con Studio Pierrot lanciata dall’animazione.

Beach: miglioranno Blood War Premieres in ottobre.

Mob Psycho 100 Stagione 3

Sebbene principalmente noto per l’amato supereroe satirico manga one-punch man, il proprio mob psycho 100 è probabilmente nella stessa lega. Il manga ha già finito, ma ci sono state solo due stagioni di anime adattate. Per fortuna, questa storia è sia ben scritta che concisa, quindi la prossima e altamente anticipata la terza stagione dovrebbe concludere la storia.

Entrambe le stagioni sono state saptemente adattate, con 2 in particolare considerate tra la base del fan come alcuni dei migliori anime mai prodotti. A parte le eccezionali sequenze di azione, Mob Psycho 100 è anche un racconto di arrivo genuinamente commovente che esplora temi del danno che le emozioni represse possono causare, guadagnando ogni momento sincero e uso di elementi comici nel processo.

MOB PSYCHO 100 La stagione 3 è ipotizzata a premiere a volte nel 2022.
