It might be a bit too soon to say anything about a full-fledged season 2, but just recently, it was confirmed that a new sequel anime film of ‘Given’ will be premiered in 2020. Hopefully, season 2 will also be announced after the release of the film.
The delay has meant fans had to be incredibly patient for the latest seasons of their favorite shows. Some anime with a new season coming out in 2022 hasn't released any new episodes for years. There are many new anime shows coming out that are highly anticipated.
Espionage, superheroes, and high stakes games are just some of what you can expect this spring anime season. There's a new season full of anime to check out for Spring like the highly anticipated SPY x Family, the hilarious Love After World Domination, and the latest Production I.G. led sports anime in Aoashi.
The manga for the anime has over 6 completed volumes, thus there is enough material for a Season 2! The producers had also worked on the anime series in 2019 which was a huge hit, they made its movie in the subsequent year 2020 and later a live-action television drama in 2021, and after all of this we still want more.
Here's your full preview at all of the exciting new anime movies & TV shows coming to Netflix in 2022 and beyond.
One of the most anticipated releases for 2022 must be the second part of Attack on Titan's final season. While Hajime Isayama's best-selling manga ended last year, the final episodes of the anime will start to release on January 9.
My Hero Academia 's immense popularity has led to several spin-off mangas, anime series, and films. It is rumored that a live-action film is in the works by Legendary Entertainment. There have also been two console video games: My Hero: One's Justice and a sequel titled My Hero: One's Justice 2.
Komi Can't Communicate is one of the latest animes based on the manga series by Tomohito Oda, which started in 2016 for Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday. The anime was first released on Netflix with weekly episodes from October to December last year.
Rent-A-Girlfriend started as a manga series written and illustrated by Reiji Miyajima in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine. It later turned into an anime, with its first season released in July 2020. The series centers around the life of recently single Kazuya Kinoshita, a college student living in Tokyo.
The popular romantic comedy anime began as a manga series in 2015, before receiving an anime adaptation in 2019. Since its anime release, a live-action film has been created and two more seasons.
Uzaki-chan Wants To Hang Out! started as a manga series by Take in 2017, before getting an anime adaptation in July 2020. The series is another great addition to the slice-of-life anime genre, which focuses on the life of Hana Uzaki, an outgoing high school student.
Princess Connect! Re:Dive began as a Japanese role-playing game for iOS and Android devices in 2018 and also the sequel to the discontinued game, Princess Connect!. The anime adaptation aired its first season with thirteen episodes in April 2020.
It's been a long time coming, but Made in Abyss is also getting its second season in 2022 after the first season premiered back in 2017. There was a sequel anime movie that was released sometime after, but another serialized continuation of the story will be welcomed by fans.
It's another technicality like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in terms of release window, as it also releases during the "winter 2022 " anime release time, but this December--and at least partly on Netflix--but will bleed into 2022 proper as episodes release. Jolyne Cujoh and her crew will finally see an adaptation, with this Joestar member being another fan-favorite protagonist. Fans will also see the return of Jotaro Kujo in another supporting role capacity akin to Diamond is Unbreakable.
2020 was massive for MAPPA, with the likes of Attack on Titan season 4 and the underrated Dorohedoro, but Jujutsu Kaisen proved to be one of the next big mainstays in the shonen anime arena. The supernatural and horror-themed action series was praised in large part for its beautifully smooth animation and art style. Narratively, it effectively takes the best parts of previous shonen hits like Naruto and Bleach and focuses on them, while cutting the excess fat and avoiding certain anime tropes that hampered them with bloat. In terms of horror, it also takes the borrows from the best of the Tokyo Ghoul manga.
Attack on Titan became one of the recent generation's breakout manga and anime series, as it became the go-to anime for audiences that have little to no prior knowledge or interest in the medium altogether. It's a shonen series, but one that tends to go a bit deeper, is more complex, and is more intense than some other typical series of that demographic. Season 4 was released last year to thunderous hype, jumping ahead in the timeline to a psychologically warped Eren Jeager who's now gone rogue toward his own allies.
Some of the biggest studios in the industry are up to bat, with MAPPA dominating the slate. On top of the usual TV format for most of these 2022 anime, a couple will be movies along with a TV limited series for an interesting change of pace.
Made in Abyss made an impression in the manga and on a wider audience in anime form for being a series with a deeply emotional premise with excellent worldbuilding, namely in the mystery behind the titular Abyss and what lies deeper in it. It uses character designs that look innocent and playful, but manage to convey heavy themes mixed with intense, and even terror-inducing action, all the while maintaining a wonderfully adventurous atmosphere.
It seems MAPPA is taking a page from Ufotable's Demon Slayer approach by continuing Jujutsu first with a movie before season 2. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was a one-shot manga that served as a prequel to the entire series, introducing future key characters like Yuta Okkotsu. The movie releases in the "winter 2022 season" in December of this year, but in Japan. Given anime movies still typically have staggered releases worldwide, 2022 will likely also be Jujutsu Kaisen 0 's actual release window elsewhere.
2021 saw the live-action adaptation of Mami Tsumura’s manga, and 2022 will see the long-awaited anime adaptation.
But, we now know that Japan’s greatest Tokusatsu warrior is returning in Spring 2022, three years after the first season debuted.
The film adaptation of the Spriggan manga was released over twenty years ago, and finally, we’re getting an anime series adaptation. It’s been a long time in the making, and we previously expected Spriggan to land on Netflix in 2021, so expect an early 2022 release.
Thermae Romae Novae was announced a long time ago, and we fully expected the anime to land on Netflix sometime in 2021. However, the anime won’t be available to stream until 2022. It should certainly be worth the wait, and we expect it to make many subscribers laugh.
Army of the Dead has been one of the biggest releases on Netflix in 2021, and with its release began a new expanded universe for creator Zack Snyder. The animated series will take place before the events of the heist of Army of the Dead, and will take place during the downfall of Las Vegas as Scott Ward, and his team of mercenaries tries to evacuate civilians from the zombie-infested city.
Winner of Shonen Jump+’s “Million Tag” competition, manga author Naoki Fujita’s breakout manga serialization is being adapted into an anime for Netflix. Very little else is known about the adaptation but we can’t wait to learn more soon.
Not only will Blood of Zeus be returning for season 2, but it has already been confirmed that the anime will also receive a third season at Netflix.
