Speaking of anticipated returns, Blue Exorcist is back with Season 3 of the Shimane Illuminati Saga. It’s been about seven years since the Kyoto Saga, so it’s great to see Rin and the gang again with yet another UVERworld opening theme. For those new to the series, Blue Exorcist follows Rin, a half-demon who also happens to be a son of Satan. Using his demonic powers, he trains to be an exorcist to eventually defeat his father. Studio VOLN, which is known for Ushio & Tora and Karakuri Circus, is taking over animation production for this third season. We look forward to seeing how the new season shapes up after all these years. Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga is available now on Crunchyroll and Funimation.

This original series follows Rouge, an android on a mission that brings her to the planet Mars to take down a group of people known as the Immortal Nine. Bones, the studio known for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Mob Psycho 100, is producing this series so we expect to see some slick action-packed visuals as the season goes on.

Are you looking for a fun fantasy show that just happens to have very well-animated food? Delicious in Dungeon is the series to check out this winter season! As the name suggests, our protagonists are eating well as they progress through monster-filled dungeons to save a party member. Although the source of the food is questionable, they look very appetizing. We’re talking Food Wars-level of visually astounding food! Studio Trigger is at the helm of this hilarious series so we can expect amazing scenes, apart from the mouth-watering food. Delicious in Dungeon is now available on Netflix.

Speaking of dungeons, one of the most anticipated anime of 2024 is finally here with Solo Leveling!

After seeing the first couple of episodes, we can start to see where this is going as it escalates quickly and violently. A-1 Pictures, which is known for Sword Art Online and Erased, is heading this series so we look forward to possibly seeing some amazing action sequences alongside the darker themes that we’ve been teased so far. Solo Leveling is shaping up to be one of the biggest shonen anime this year, so check it out if you’re even just a little bit interested. The series is available now on Crunchyroll.
