As the Summer 2024 season is slowly approaching its end, it’s about time we looked forward to the fall anime, i.e., the October-December anime. Rest assured, this upcoming season packs a way bigger punch than the current one.
The Fall 2024 lineup has a few new anime as well as sequels to other popular anime. There are a number of genres to pick from, too, ranging from Slice of Life, to isekai to action and sci-fi series. Regardless of what kind of anime watcher you are, Fall 2024 has an anime for you.
10Ranma 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!
9Natsume’s Book of Friends Seven
Natsume’s Book of Friends is an anime about a boy named Natsume who can see and fight Yokai(which are basically ghosts). One day, he stumbles upon his grandmother’s notebook to see the names of all the Yokai she had defeated and realizes that the notebook gave him control over them.
The story follows Natsume and Madara, a powerful cat spirit he accidentally freed. According to a mutual agreement, Madara now serves as his protector, and the story progresses as Natsume helps build relationships with people and yokai alike.
Although it may not immediately seem like it, Natsume’s Book of Friends is a popular anime that belongs to a category called “Iyashikei” (which means the healing kind) as it grows on the person who watches it.
8Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 5
Danmachi (short for the anime name) is a popular fantasy anime adapted from the light novel written by Oomori Fujino. In a world where gods have nothing better to do, they descend to the human realm, to Orario, beneath which lies a dungeon that is crawling with monsters.
However, as a result of their entering the mortal world, they have to give up on the power but can bestow it to some mortals, who become their “Familia”.

His fateful encounter with the infamous first-class adventurer Ais Wallenstein causes him to fall in love with her and take on the path of being an adventurer.
This is a hilarious harem anime with a lot of action (both types) and it is a must-watch for anyone who is a fan of adventure-based anime. Stay tuned as the latest season comes out on the 5th of October.
7Dragon Ball DAIMA
The entire anime community is currently shaken by Dragon Ball’s author, Toriyama Akira’s death earlier this year. However, this is no reason not to let the current generation understand the greatness of this series!
This new season of Dragon Ball is quite different from the previous ones, as Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and everyone else seem to have regressed as kids. This is quite the refreshing look for Dragon Ball fans from the initial days as they might find this to be a nostalgic sight.
While we may not be sure about when Dragon Ball Super may be back to our screens, Dragon Ball DAIMA, which will be released on the 11th of October, will surely be able to pacify Dragon Ball fans.
6Uzumaki
Uzumaki will definitely be the most bizarre about you will watch. This is an anime based on the popular horror manga written by Itou Junji. Itou Junji is popular for his works in horror as he is capable of producing manga with insanely captivating art and a story that is just as insane.
This four-episode adaption of the manga revolves around a peculiar town named Kurozu-cho, specifically two teenagers, Kirie and Shuuichi, who start noticing that the town is being haunted by… spirals? Yes, not a person, not a monster, spirals.
As we see the different inexplicable phenomena occurring around Kirie, we will realize that no one but Junji Itou can make the very simple concept of spirals into something horrific that will keep you up at night. A word of warning though: this anime isn’t for the average light-hearted person.
5BLEACH: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3
Bleach TYBW’s new cour must be one of the most awaited anime of this season. It’s been around a year since the last part aired, and fans just can’t wait for the next season.

With the story in its final arc, we see a risk of the boundary between the human and soul realms depleting due to the hollows crossing over to the human realm. Ichigo and his friends must try their best to put a stop to this in order to maintain order in their world.
4Dandadan
This is a popular sci-fi anime adapted from the manga written by Tatsu Yukinobu. The story follows a high school girl, Mono, who saves a boy, Ken, from being bullied.

When they both individually tried to prove the other wrong, to their surprise, they both were exposed to extremely inexplicable paranormal events and also mysteriously awakened powers that helped them overcome these dangers.
3Overlord: Holy Kingdom Arc
After the fourth season of Overlord was aired in 2022, the anime is finally getting its sequel… as a movie. No need to be in the dumps, though as regardless of whether the anime airs as a movie or series, the anime will still be a masterpiece.
After twelve years of playing his favorite MMORPG game, when Momonga logged in one last time, he found himself transported within the game as the avatar who gained the title of sorcerer king: Ainz Ooal Gown.
