Upcoming Anime Sequels Confirmed for 2021

The Anime Series industry was altered due to the Pandemic of COVID-19, maybe even more than any other stream in the entertainment sector. Yes, we saw lots of Hollywood and Animated movie premiers delayed due to cinemas’ unstable work and fears of poor showings at the box offices. Still, the Anime industry has suffered on so many other levels.

The Pandemic endangered both the creation and production of Anime series. Therefore the release of Anime Sequels in 2021 might be even more anticipated today than those from famous Western studios. However, there is some good news for Anime fans worldwide – new seasons will come this year. But let’s not press the luck and talk about Anime sequels that have been solidly confirmed for 2021. The 25 Best Anime List of 2019

Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World

Taking about sadly canceled premiers, the Re: Zero sequels’ delay might have been the most devastating news for Anime fans worldwide. While fans saw only the first part of the second season of Re: Zero in the Summer of 2020, the number of new characters and a slight sneak peek at Satella gives us hope that the sequel will be full of stunning plot twists. While the show seems to have finished the Sanctuary arc, we see that the plot is only gaining momentum, and creators have lots of cards in their sleeves.

Fruits Basket: The Final

Those who remember how crazy popular Fruit Basket was at the beginning of the 2000s will definitely appreciate the efforts creators took to adapt the series several years ago. However, the delay of the final third season was pretty devastating. All the previous episodes were pretty predictable and contained the missing Zodiac members. However, the creators promise that in 2021, the series will go deeper into the manga’s darker story twists. Most of them have never been screened before. Therefore the anticipation of Anime fans towards this particular series sequel is pretty understandable.

Attack on Titan: The Final Season

This series might have been the most popular in the overall history of Anime. This success is pretty understandable as what originally started as a pretty standard horror stream eventually turned into a complicated, multilayered narrative that combined policies, and conspiracies and kept viewers in constant tension. No wonder the sequel of Attack on Titan might have become the most anticipated anime release today. Of course, the creators don’t reveal any reliable information on the plot and development of the series. However, we know for sure that the season that will come out in winter 2021 will be the final one. Rumors have it that those who follow the series from the very beginning might be shocked and maybe even devastated by the development of the plot, its twists, and conclusions.

The Promised Neverland 2nd Season

The original manga was suddenly wrapped last summer, leaving us with a bittersweet feeling from the conclusion. However, the anime series sequel promises to bring some unexpected plot twists and solutions the readers never saw in the manga version. We just want to remind you that the first season left us with a tingling anticipation feeling when children left the farm, escaping the monsters that were trying to harvest them. But will the forest bring salvation, or are we about to witness an even more cruel twist? Creators promise that in 2021 Neverland will not leave us indifferent and even force us to glance beyond the original plot.

Reincarnated as a Slime 2nd Season

This Anime is an example that the plot of an animated series may be even more thrilling, multilayered, and sophisticated than the most successful telenovela franchise of our time. Technically, it is following a pretty common isekai formula. However, unlike traditional patterns dictate, the main character comes back as a slime, which is pretty unconventional for the stream. Absorbing and gaining powers of various forms, Rimuru finally finds a world where monsters can live in peace. But the creators of the Anime claim that it is not as easy as it seems, and 2021 will bring us a lot of food for thought through the anime series sequel.

My Hero Academia 5th Season

In many ways, it is not a habitual anime series we all know and love. But mostly because it hardly runs non-stop and tends to roll out slowly, releasing new seasons unevenly, there is so much hype and anticipation behind every new season of Academia. So, the sequel dated 2021 might not be that high spot for the Anime. But anticipation around it has already reached its boiling point. The creators warn us not to expect that the fifth season will be anything like we are used to seeing in the Anime. However, they give us hope for a fascinating experience, claiming that in 2021 we shall witness some extraordinary super-heroic action.

Beastars 2nd Season

The original Netflix anime gives us a lot of food for thought about topics beyond the seemingly plain plot of Beastars. Various animals going to school together in a somewhat utopic universe are apparently not that far from their original prehistoric stigmas. The inevitable conflict eventually leads to a tragedy – a murder. The series explores the darkest corners of our souls, revealing fears and passions most of us would prefer to hide away. So, no, this series is not about bunnies and wolves, like most of us might have thought from the very beginning. The development of the story seems to take us even further from the metaphors and turn the sequel of this anime series into a complicated psychological thriller, spiced up with each other’s personal perceptions.

Log Horizon 3rd Season

Hard to imagine today that Log Horizon started more than seven years ago. Mostly because it is one of those “unsteady” animes that presented only two seasons throughout such a significant time period, that is why the release of the third season announced for 2021 brought some mixed feelings of anticipation and uncertainty. The creators promise that the series will pick up at the third season exactly where the previous season left off. However, there is a solid chance that the overall atmosphere of the series will change tremendously, bringing us a sense of more sophisticated and “mature” storytelling while preserving the traditional “trapped in the game” genre.

The Rising of the Shield Hero 2nd Season

It is another anime series that takes the famous isekai concept but interprets it in an original manner, granting fans unusual plot twists and unexpected developments. It may seem pretty grotesque from the very beginning that the main hero has such a seemingly vulgar and useless piece of equipment as an ordinary shield. However, thanks to talented writing and animation art, this series forces us to think about the real nature, origin, and purpose of things that may seem ordinary at first glance. Along with its original plotting, The Rising of the Shield Hero is a series that holds viewers’ attention through original fun characters, unexpected plot twists that seem to come out of the blue, and, of course, original breathtaking visuals, which look like ultimate art pieces as they are. The Rising of the Shield Hero is an anime series that goes beyond visual satisfaction, making us think, explore, and find satisfaction in unconventional concepts.

Zombie Land Saga Revenge

Another pretty unconventional anime series, Zombie Land Saga, is technically a comedy series that has instantly won the hearts of numerous fans through its dynamic plot and fresh humor. Of course, the story about young pop singers and their adventures also would never leave anyone indifferent. No wonder viewers were waiting for the sequel of Zombie Land Saga sequel just as much as any epic anime series. According to the plot, six girls come back to life as zombies with a greater mission to protect and secure the Saga region of Japan. Their adventures, conflicts, and confusions they have to overcome, learning to cooperate and survive in their unconventional embodiment, are spiced up with the charismatic character of their manager, booking them for the ridiculous singing jobs you could imagine.

Dr. Stone: Stone Wars

As long as the popularity of the Apocalyptic genre is only growing today, the story of Dr. Stone simply had to continue in 2021. And here it comes. Several millennia after the whole world has been turned into stone, this year, we shall witness the development of the story while the power of science will abound Dr. Stone. The creators promise some unexpected plot twists and innovative storytelling solutions that are supposed to take the whole idea of the post-apocalyptic genre to a whole new level.

The Quintessential Quintuplets

The plot of this comedy anime series is as entertaining as it is smart and unconventional for a classic harem anime genre. While a young boy takes a side hustle job tutoring four quintuplets from a wealthy family, the viewer immerses into the world of social conversion and deep psychoanalysis through the seemingly weightless humor and lightheaded plot. However, in 2021 we have a solid chance to continue our journey in the joyful and colorful world of The Quintessential Quintuplets.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgement

This critically acclaimed anime is on its fourth season, and Netflix has the exclusive streaming rights to The Seven Deadly Sins (2014-) series. This shounen anime takes place in a world reminiscent of the European Middle Ages. The Holy Knights of Britannia used to be heroes but now serve as the tyrants of this world. The story focuses on Elizabeth, the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones, who is searching for the “Seven Deadly Sins,” a band of legendary heroes that betrayed the Holy Knights years ago, to take back her kingdom and bring justice to the world

World Trigger 2nd Season

During Jump Festa ’20, it was announced that the series would receive a second season, with the cast reprising their roles. Toei Animation is returning to produce the anime. Morio Hatano is the new series director, while the rest of the staff are reprising their roles

Majutsushi Orphen Haguretabi

Majutsushi Orphen Haguretabi season 2 will be titled Majutsushi Orphen Haguretabi Kimluck-hen and premiere on 20 January 2021.   As you see, 2021 looks like a pretty promising year for the Anime industry.
