Although we are just a few days away from the end of 2024, this year has been very interesting for anime fans, and many works have come to impact in various ways, such as DanDaDan, which fascinated with its crazy story. But we also had other series that were already well established and that, this year, took the opportunity to release new seasons, such as Oshi no Ko, which with its second part returned to position itself as one of the best series of the year. The examples are many and below we share a list, in no particular order, where we will see the best anime of the year 2024.
DanDadan and Oshi no Ko were among the best anime of the year 2024.
With only a few days left until the beginning of the year 2025, which will bring us a great number of highly anticipated series, 2024 bids farewell after leaving us a great number of stories that have managed to enchant fans from all over the world, being that variety is one of the highlights of this year.
That’s why anime lovers could laugh (and even cry) with series like DanDaDan, continue to see the B-side of the entertainment world with Oshi no Ko, enjoy several romantic stories or more. And below we share with you a list of what are considered the best anime of the year 2024:
DanDaDan
Undoubtedly one of the biggest releases we had during this 2024 was DanDaDan, a story which surprised many for having a very bizarre humor in several parts of its plot, but which made more than one person cry with a particular chapter, which is considered one of the best of the year. It is undeniable that the success of DanDaDan is more than justified, being that, although its first season ended not long ago, it has already been confirmed that the adventures of Momo and Okarun will continue during 2025, when its second season will premiere in July.
Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Another anime that managed to gain a large number of fans and has even been placed, among the best, as one of the highest positions in specialized rankings is Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, a work that came to show us a group of girls who could have been heroines in any other story, but here they end up as “losers” in the game of love. This anime managed to enchant many, as it plays with all those clichés and clichés that can be seen in romantic stories, but seeing it from a humorous and very satirical side.
7th Time Loop
And if we have to focus on an anime where romance is the main topic we have to talk about 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!, a story that arrived at the beginning of the year and that, although many may have overlooked it or even forgotten that it came out during 2024, 7th Time Loop was one of the best anime of the year. It has many of its bases in love, but it also has a more than interesting spice, as it is full of intriguing twists where time travel and reincarnation are present, something that managed to place it as one of the best anime of this 2024.
Oshi no Ko Season 2
Although many series premiered this 2024 and that fascinated for being the first time they reach this medium, Oshi no Ko was one of the exceptions to the rule, in this case because it was the arrival of the second season of one of the anime that at the time had already been placed as one of the best.
Now with this new installment has returned to leave the bar very high, since continuing to see the B side of entertainment, more focused in this case in a play where the important characters act, was one of the reasons why Oshi no Ko returned to be placed as one of the best anime of the year.
Finally, and although Oshi no Ko finished its manga this year, anime fans still have plenty of content to enjoy, as it was confirmed that season 3 of Oshi no Ko is a reality, although it was not announced when it will officially arrive.
Kaiju No.8
Another anime that was highly anticipated by fans, but even more by those who love giant monsters, was Kaiju No.8, which since its announcement promised a lot of giant monsters fighting in battles full of excitement and adrenaline. And as many expected, Kaiju No.8 not only lived up to expectations, but it is considered by many as one of the greatest anime released this year and they are already waiting for the release of its second season, which is confirmed for July 2025, just like DanDaDan.
Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san
Another of the premieres of this year 2024 that had generated a great deal of expectation among its fans was Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go by Dereru Tonari no Alya-san (Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian), a story that might seem like just another student romance, but that has very interesting spices.
One of them is that our protagonist, who is secretly in love with the other protagonist, never declares herself to him, at least in his language, but rather in Russian, but what she doesn’t know is that he knows the language, so he has unknowingly declared himself in more than once. Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go has perfectly combined many aspects and has become one of the best of the year 2024.
Dungeon Meshi
Another anime that premiered during this 2024 is Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon), which takes us like many others to a fantasy world in which our characters must save a girl who is trapped inside a dungeon. So far it is just another story of the genre, but what made this series unique is that it has many elements that include gastronomy, something that is very interesting in this fantasy world and that is the central axis of this anime series considered one of the best of 2024.
The Dangers of My Heart Season 2
Another anime that premiered a new season at the beginning of 2024 was The Dangers in My Heart (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu), a beautiful love story that had already fascinated all fans with its premiere in 2023, but this year, with its second part, reached even higher points. And seeing how the relationship between Anna Yamada and Ichikawa Kyoutarou continues to flourish, even with some moments that appealed to the deepest feelings of the fans, has made The Dangers in My Heart one of the best anime of the year 2024.
Re:ZERO – Starting life in another world Season 3
Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World) is considered by itself as one of the best anime of all time, especially within the isekai genre, where it usually dominates or is at least in very high positions, so it always gives something to talk about.
And the arrival of season 3, a long awaited by fans, was no exception, which is why continuing to see this incredible story with a new part has fascinated many, especially because it maintained, and even surpassed, the quality of what has been seen so far, so Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World) is already considered one of the best anime of this 2024.
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Season 3
And another isekai that also premiered its third season after several years of waiting was KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!), a work that always stood out for its large dose of comedy and fanservice, which with this new installment did not disappoint any fan. By following the story of Kazuma and his group of adventures formed by Darkness, Megumin and Aqua, Konosuba! became one of the best anime of this year that is leaving us.
Look Back
Finally we are not going to talk about an anime series, but about a movie, Look Back, which came to surprise many with a beautiful love story that touches on very deep themes such as friendship, loss and personal growth, topics that have fascinated more than one.
In addition, what left many shocked is to know that this story is an adaptation of the work of the same name created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, who, for those who do not know him, is the mangaka creator of Chainsaw Man. That is why, seeing this much more passionate and personal side of a more “violent” author has placed this movie as one of the best anime of this 2024.
These were some of the best anime that were released during this 2024, with important names like DanDaDan or Oshi no Ko, in the same way many others could have been placed in the list, that’s why we ask you which is your favorite anime of the year 2024?
