Other noteworthy mentions include “Spy×Family Season 2,” which promises bombastic action scenes and further exploration of the characters’ dynamics, and “The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You,” a harem anime that pushes the boundaries of the genre with its unique approach to love and relationships.

Additional series to keep an eye on include “Yuzuki-san Chi no Yon-Kyōdai,” a heartwarming slice-of-life story about four orphaned brothers, and “Pluto,” a highly anticipated adaptation of Naoki Urasawa’s manga. “I’m in Love with the Villainess” offers a fresh take on the isekai genre, focusing on a lesbian protagonist’s unconventional romance with the game’s bully.
