2024 is ending! The last days of December predict a new year, did you get your Crunchyroll Wrapped? Regardless of the hours you spent watching anime this year, remember that there are always good series and other terrible ones, because of this, we are in charge of telling you which were the best installments of autumn 2024.
The best series must have a refreshing feel in terms of narrative and impeccable animation, so, of course, you won’t find Blue Lock on this list, no matter how much we love all the Eleven husbandos. However, we do have an article for you to spend more time with them, check it out here.
The best anime of fall 2024
Dan Da Dan — a 360-degree twist on the classic shonen genre
Dan Da Dan is a manga series written and illustrated by Yokinobu Tatsu. The anime adaptation was carried out by the Science Saru studio, and the story allowed us to follow a pair of marginalized teenagers who create a strong bond after going through a chaotic, very dangerous moment.
Momo and Okarun arrived in autumn 2024 to renew the shonen. It is a very serious installment, which has cruel overtones, the narrative focuses on the spirits and the way they became it. It also allows us to recognize extraterrestrials and their ways of coexisting with our world.
Dan Da Dan shows the growth of adolescents in an inhospitable world, in which the values of love, respect and companionship are important. Okarun not only grows and matures, trusting himself more, but he falls in love and becomes stronger.
Dan Da Dan is a gem that comes with comedy, action, ecchi tones, but also cheesiness. Simply: unmatched. One of the best anime of fall 2024.
TsumaSho — A new (old) love?
The aesthetics of loli are a very controversial issue, from Japan to the world, so this title reached and moved the audience quite a bit. The story of TsumaSho might be moving, but it should also raise some alert thinking.
The story is about a father who loses his wife and stays alive with his daughter, until one day, a little girl knocks on his door and tells him that she is his deceased wife, from this moment on they will be able to resume the conflicts that had not been resolved.
Although sometimes the filter of the woman is put on the girl, the idea continues to cause noise. It is interesting to note that TsumaSho was positioned as one of the most popular anime of the fall 2024 season.
Yakuza Fiancé — ¿Romance in the yakuza?
Yakuza-focused anime have been more popular lately, from From Yakuza to Househusband to Wind Breaker and Tokyo Revengers, all new titles. It is worth mentioning that Sakamoto Days is coming soon. However, this short and quite fresh story lets us see two fierce teenagers who will face more danger than they imagine and what it seems.
Yoshino and Kirishima are two boys who have arranged a marriage of convenience. However, there are too many mysteries to realize the true violence that will germinate. So it differs a little from the previous titles, since sensuality and passion intervene in a strange way in this fall 2024 anime.
Blue Miburo — More justice in the most classic format?
We said goodbye to The Elusive Samurai and another shonen protagonist arrived who rescues antiquity but maintains the values of our most beloved heroes. The orphan and albino protagonist will have several paths to travel while he develops his vertebrae and grows in his thoughts and morals.
The series gives us a look at a feudal space, with the heart of a young protagonist who has yet to learn about the real world. The delivery has deux cours format.
Nina, the Starry Bride — a two-tier romance?
Of course, fantasy is always necessary and the delivery of Starry Bride renews the air of classic romance, in addition to allowing us to delve into the action between the kingdoms, and the interesting hierarchies that they imply.
Nina came face to face with two romances, a pair of gentlemen with eyes of particular colors, these could help her see beyond what she expected and she will discover mysteries hidden between their eyelids. However, Nina’s heart chooses and is also committed to the stability of the nation, despite being a young impostor who takes the place of the true princess.
Nina’s story may sound very cliché, but in the fall, they get busy.
Ranma 1/2 remake — A classic in a new format
The best anime of fall 2024 were not limited to being debutants. The beloved and passionate installment of Ranma 1/2 returned with a remake that has different colors and textures. Ranma 1/2 always seemed sufficiently woke, despite the fact that in the 80s its main reading was perceived as a comedy, currently, it is revisited with more seriousness and the nuances of diversity can be absorbed in a more timely manner.
Ranma Saotome suffers a kind of curse or enchantment – it depends on your perspective – that makes him become a woman when he touches cold water, returning to his original male body after being wet with hot water. His father engaged him to his best friend’s daughter so that the Tendo dojo would remain among “family.”
Akane Tendo is Ranma’s fiancee, together they will meet different characters who also have problems with water… Slowly the boys will get to know each other and eventually fall in love.
