10Insomniacs After School
Release Date: April 11
Where to Stream: HIDIVE
Genre: Romance
This show is a dream come true for all the starry-eyed Moon nerds. Imagine starting an astronomy club with a cute girl because you both can’t fall asleep, and then you fall in love! It doesn’t get more romantic than that.
The school observatory is the perfect sanctuary for our insomniac duo Nakami and Magari, to catch up on some much-needed rest.
What I love about Insomniacs After School is its unique way to tackle real-life insomnia. It’s not just about getting some shut-eye for the characters but also about forming a connection through a shared disorder.
9The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2
Release Date: April 6
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video
Genre: Drama, fantasy, romance
The Ancient Magus’ Bride is not your cliché romance anime. Yeah, sure, the whole “mage’s apprentice” theme has been done before, but this show feels so unique and unlike anything else out there.
The first season was just a tease, a little taste of what’s to come. But now the second season is here, and I’m freaking stoked!
In the second season of The Ancient Magus’ Bride, Chise starts to accept herself and Elias, even if she can’t fully understand everything about her situation.
And Elias is not your run-of-the-mill handsome dude; he’s got depth and mystery and is constantly grappling with his emotions.
8TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You Season 2
Release Date: April 8
Where to Stream: Hulu, Crunchyroll
Genre: Comedy, romance
Can we talk about how adorable the first season of Tonikawa was? Every episode had me grinning from ear to ear with all the cuteness. And now, I finally get season 2 to give me my weekly dose of fluff.
Nasa confessed to Tsukasa, but she’d only date him if they got married. Years later, she shows up on Nasa’s birthday to marry him. And just like that, Nasa becomes a newlywed.
Season 2 of Tonikawa shows even more of their cute relationship as husband and wife. Get ready for many heartwarming and charming moments because this anime will surely deliver!
7Mashle: Magic and Muscles
Release Date: April 8
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Netflix
Genre: Action, comedy, fantasy
This show takes all the typical magic school story tropes, flips them on their head, and even throws a few jabs at Harry Potter for good measure.
The protagonist in Mashle, Mash, is a jacked dude who’s like Saitama, completely overpowered and indifferent to it all. But he has no magic! Instead, he just uses brute strength to beat up all the magic users.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Oh great, another Harry Potter or OPM rip-off.” But this anime is so much more than that. If you’re a fan of OPM or Mob Psycho, trust me, you will fall in love with Mashle.
6Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage
Release Date: April 14
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Funimation, Prime Video
Genre: Adventure, fantasy
Our sweet, adorable Prince Bojji is back! This show was my ultimate mood lifter, and watching Bojji work his butt off to become king was just too precious for words.
The second season of Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage will feature a new adventure with Bojji and Kage. Plus, there will be a bunch of flashbacks to Kage’s childhood with his mother in the Bo Kingdom.
And there will be some cute moments that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans Bojji and Kage get into this time.
5Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku
Release Date: April 1
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Netflix, Prime Video
Genre: Adventure, fantasy, action
This anime is a wild ride, giving you both heaven and hell in one sitting.
There is an evil protagonist who’s somehow still a hero and a whole lot of insane action that’ll leave you questioning your sanity.
The story in Hell’s Paradise follows a group of prisoners and their guards who get stranded on a mysterious island filled with all kinds of monstrous creatures, and they must work together to survive.
It’s not exactly the freshest plot in the book, but the way this anime executes it is something else.
Now, fair warning, this anime isn’t for the faint of heart. The fight scenes can get pretty gory, and the setting is eerie and creepy.
But if you’re into that kind of thing, then it is a must-watch. Get ready to have your mind blown (and maybe your stomach churned a bit).
4 Oshi No Ko
Release Date: April 12
Where to Stream: HIDIVE, Crunchyroll
Genre: Drama, supernatural
The art in Oshi no Ko is like a magnet for my eyeballs. And those star-shaped lights in Ai’s and the twins’ eyes? Freaky, but in a totally cool way.
Oshi no Ko is like a backstage pass to the world of Japanese pop idols and acting. It’s emotionally tense, honest, and sometimes brutal. And the way it weaves multiple storylines together is just chef’s kiss.
This anime makes the idol industry interesting in a whole new way. It’s done with this modern anime flair that’ll leave you wanting more.
3KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
Release Date: April 6
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Disney+
Genre: Comedy, fantasy
This is the anime that made isekai cool again, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s like a giant ray of sunshine, spreading joy wherever it goes. And honestly, who doesn’t need a little more of that in their life?
KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! is a spin-off series all about Megumin, and it takes us back to a time before she joined forces with the other dysfunctional characters we know and love.
Forget about all those other shows trying to be deep and philosophical – KonoSuba is all about having a damn good time! So, get ready to laugh, cheer, and maybe even shed a tear or two (of joy, of course).
2Dr. Stone: New World
Release Date: April 6
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll
Genre: Comedy, sci-fi, adventure
Hold on to your lab coats because Dr. Stone is back, and it’s better than ever. In the third season, we’re getting a ship, we’re getting answers, and we’re getting excited!
In Dr. Stone: New World, Senku and his Kingdom of Science might team up with former foes to build a ship and set sail across the open ocean. But before embarking on this journey, they must gather some key resources.
The writers outdid themselves with this one, creating an entertaining, fun, and educational masterpiece.
You’re seriously missing out if you haven’t watched Dr. Stone yet. I’m ten billion percent sure that you’ll love it!
1Demon Slayer Season 3 – Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc
Release Date: April 9
Where to Stream: Crunchyroll, Netflix, Prime Video
Genre: Action, fantasy
This anime is hotter than a sizzling skillet on a summer day! With a new movie and season coming out, it’s the talk of the town.
Each arc is even better than the last, and the story of Tanjiro and Nezuko is heartbreaking but hopeful at the same time.
In season 3 of Demon Slayer, we dive deeper into the mysterious Yoriichi and witness the dream team of Love and Mist Hashira take on some top-tier demons.
The emotions in this show hit harder than a wrecking ball, and the visuals are so beautiful they’ll make you want to cry. It’s like a rollercoaster of feels and eye candy, and I’m here for every second of it.
