News Otaku – Spring 2024 brings anticipated sequels and promising new anime series, making for an exciting launch season. Some anime become instant favorites, while others fall flat, leaving many fans disappointed. Here is a list of the 5 best and worst spring 2024 anime series:
5 Favorite Spring Anime Series This Season
The long-running sequels didn’t disappoint, while the new releases also took the cake.
1. Demon Slayer Part 4: Hashira Training
Despite some initial difficulties, Demon Slayer redeemed itself with the final episodes of the season. The Hashira Training story line, although somewhat slow, has been elevated by favorite characters to an impressive climax, marking the near end.
2. Kaiju No. 8
Anticipated from the beginning, Kaiju No. 8 has received as warm a reception as expected, even more so. With the manga being very popular, the anime does not disappoint fans, whether they are manga readers or just anime watchers. Kaiju No. 8 has had a steady rise in popularity from day one and continues to be successful.
3. Wind Breaker
Another popular manga adapted into an anime, Wind Breaker, had high expectations and did not disappoint. Adorned with beautiful visuals, catchy music, and interesting characters, this anime quickly became a hit. With fresh characters and fresh dynamics, it has quickly become a fan favorite.
4. KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3
Already a beloved series, KonoSuba success proves the strength of its fanbase. The third installment, despite an underwhelming spin-off, still surpassed the expectations of loyal fans, standing out among other highly anticipated releases.
5. My Hero Academia
With the final war in the manga over and the final war just beginning in season 7 of the My Hero Academia anime, fans are experiencing mixed emotions as they want to relive all that pain. However, with newly improved visuals and iconic manga moments recreated, fans can’t resist. My Hero Academia is also on a solid track for success this spring.
5 Spring Anime Series That Didn’t Meet Expectations
Season 3 of anime seems to be cursed as many third seasons of anime are disappointing. Some new anime also failed to meet expectations.
1. A Condition Called Love
Despite being one of the most popular shoujo manga today, A Condition Called Love cannot capture the hearts of viewers. The anime version fails to capture the essence of the manga, with many beloved scenes being cut out. This, combined with the not-so-great animation quality, caused viewers to lose interest.
2. The Irregular at Magic High School Part 3
When the time comes to hit the target list, this series has never clicked the series. The third season of The Irregular at Magic High School, while highly anticipated, failed to live up to the expectations of the previous seasons. That’s why I love you so much, so I love you so much that I love you so much When the time comes, the phone is closed, and the phone is closed.
3. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Part 3
As a highly rated isekai anime, the decline of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Part 3 in season 3 was truly surprising. The slow-burning plot, which focuses more on world-building than action, is testing the patience of many. Even though the dialogue episodes are important to the plot, the story is still too slow to engage the viewer.
4. Spice and Wolf
Remakes often have uneven success and unlike Hunter x Hunter or Fruits Basket, Spice and Wolf was a complete failure. The original anime has a special place in many people’s hearts. However, the remake doesn’t have the same effect and is just seen as a money-making ploy.
5. The Misfit of Demon King Academy II Part 2
The first season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy was extremely popular, while the second season quickly declined. The plot was bland and confusing, with events happening unexpectedly and everything being chaotic, the second season left audiences disappointed, feeling it lacked coherence.
