From eccentric characters to bizarre plotlines, the upcoming season is packed with titles that blend humour, surrealism, and offbeat storytelling.
To those people who have watched tons of the generic shounen and isekai anime and are seeking something different, fall 2024 had quite a few anime to offer, many of which fall under the Slice of Life category. So brace yourselves as we explore the world of oddities: the quirkiest anime of 2024.
Ranma 1/2
Ranma 1/2 is a remake of a popular 1989 comedy anime that has made so many people laugh that it would be a shame to let the current generation miss it, hence the remake.
This slapstick anime has quite an interesting setting: A man named Ranma Saotome had his marriage arranged with Akane Tendou. However, Ranma faces a small issue. While he was training in China, he accidentally fell into a hot spring and got cursed. He would turn into a woman if he were splashed with cold water and would conversely turn into a man if he is splashed with hot water!
This rom-com anime follows this concept, and it airs on the 5th of October, so rom-com fans, mark your calendars as you cannot miss this!
How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer
“How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer” is a rom-com manga written by Aokawa Nana, and it is scheduled to get its anime adaptation on the 30th of September.
The story follows Tokiwa, a college student and his two friends who got invited to a mixer. However, they were greeted there by three handsome men instead. What makes the anime get even more weird is the fact that all six of them actually get close despite being men who got tricked into joining a mixer.
Still not convinced enough? What if the three handsome men were actually cross-dressed women? This anime is definitely one of the most unique shows to air this fall, so mark your calendars, fans!
A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!
“A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School” is a supernatural comedy manga written and illustrated by Tanaka Mai, and it is going to receive its anime adaptation on the 8th of October.
The story follows a school teacher, Abe Haruaki, who is newly assigned to teach students. However, this novice teacher is timid and a big crybaby. This isn’t the selling point of the anime though; it’s the fact that Haruaki got assigned to teach a class full of ghouls. Will the cowardly teacher be able to handle a class full of mischievous students who always try to prank him? Or will he continue being nothing but a novice? The anime airs in October, so we’ll find out soon enough.
I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History
Is there anyone that dislikes the typical shojo anime protagonist? The innocent, prim and proper heroines? The main character of this series got reincarnated into her favourite dating simulator as the villain of that world!
Is being a villain an issue for her, though? Our heroine, or rather villainess, Williams Alicia, hates the typical shojo manga protagonists so much that she decided to make her mark on history by becoming the world’s greatest villain. This isn’t easy, though, because the more she tries to be evil, the more the prince falls in love with her! Mark your calendars fans, as this banger of an anime releases on the 1st of October.
If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student
“If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student” is a Slice of Life manga written by Murata Yayu and is scheduled to have its anime adaptation released on the 6th of October.
