It’s exciting to see shows from years past return, but what about the actual brand new anime starting this season? That list seems just as stacked and there is more than enough out there to get excited for as well and these all start within the next few days and or weeks.
10Shaman King
Shaman Kingis a manga that started in 1998. It had a good run in Shonen Jump for awhile, but toward the end it went on several hiatuses before eventually ending. The anime ran for just sixty-four episodes and did not receive the same conclusion, sothis new animeis basically a reboot. It’s sort of like what they did withFullmetal AlchemistandFullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It is set to premiere on April 1.
9Godzilla Singular Point
Godzilla Singular Point, as the name might suggest, is an anime adaption of theGodzillafranchise. Although the story seems to focus on a group who created a robot to defend itself from other monsters which will probably turn into a final showdown with the lizard king himself.

For those that don’t know theirGodzillahistory, Jet Jaguar premiered in the movie,Godzilla vs. Megalonin 1973. This anime though is set to premiere on April 1.
8Mars Red
This vampire anime has an interesting history behind it. It started as a stage reading written by Bun-O Fujisawa. It was then adapted into a manga in 2020, which is still ongoing. This means this new anime may not have a lot of material to work with although if that stage reading was thorough enough,this anime maynot need to wait for the manga to continue being made at a steady rate. Either way it will debut on April 6.
7Odd Taxi
What anime listwould be complete without a series about anthropomorphic animals?Odd Taxistarted this year, in January, as a manga. It may seem like it’s too soon then for an anime addition, set to premiere on April 6, but maybe this was all part of the plan when the manga started in the first place. Either way the series seems to star a taxi driver who gets involved with the disappearance of a young girl along with the strange characters he is usually involved with through his job.
6Jouran: The Princess Of Snow And Blood
This is the only anime on the list that is not based on anything else be it a stage play, manga, or whatever. That being the case, there’s not much to go on ahead of its April 7 debut. Based on quick previews and trailers out there,Jouran: The Princess of Snow and Bloodlooks to be set in 1931 Japan and focuses on demon slayers of some sort. The anime art style certainly has a unique look to it making it stand out among others of its ilk.
5The Way Of The Househusband
The Way of the Househusband, orGokushufudouas the Japanese name, started as a manga in 2018. It has since produced seven volumes but is still going. This comedy series stars and ex-Yakuza member turned dedicated husband doing menial chores which can only be conveyed to theextreme through anime. Before this anime adaptation, set to debut on April 8, there was a ten episode live-action drama in Japan in 2020. It definitely has someGreat Teacher Onizukavibes to it.
4The World Ends With You
The World Ends With Youis a DS game that first launched in 2007 in Japan and a year later in North America. In that time this RPG got a few updates through ports but never a sequel. Now, in 2021, not only is the game gettingthis direct anime adaptation, but a sequel is also set to release on the Switch and PS4 titledNEO: The World Ends with You. The anime will premiere on April 9.
3Edens Zero
Edens Zerois the newest creation from Hiro Mashima. He also startedFairy TaleandRave Masterfor those unaware. This spacefaring manga started in 2018 and has fourteen volumes under its belt which means this might be one ofthose anime situationswhere production will either slow down between seasons, or the anime directors might want to go in filler directions. Only time will tell, but the anime is set to debut on April 11.
2Tokyo Revengers
This is based on a manga that began in 2017. It has since produced twenty-one volumes in its ongoing run in Weekly Shonen Magazine.
