Top 20 Anime of 2021
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we are counting down our picks for the Top 10 Anticipated Anime of 2021. For this list, we’ll be looking at the confirmed series set to debut sometime next year! Originals, sequels, remakes, 2021 looks like it’s coming in hot! Unless you think it’s all going to be a cluster, in which case let us know in the comments.
#10: “So I'm a Spider, So What?” (2021)
Top 10 Anime of 2021
Hey, if it can work for slimes, it can certainly work for spiders. Especially for one this cute! While it might seem like another light novel isekai adaptation, at the very least it appears like we aren’t going to have another adorable yet overpowered isekai-er on her hands. Our titular spider is going to have to grind! Awakening in a cave and faced with a seemingly never-ending slew of monsters to contend with, survival of the fittest takes on new form here! If you’re an arachnophobe you may want to leave the room now.
#9: “To Your Eternity” (2021)
Top 10 Best Anime Songs of 2021
This is either going to be a tearjerker or an unexpected epic. Then again this is from the same person who gave us A Silent Voice so…maybe both. Descending to the Earth as nothing more than an orb, an immortal creature named Fushi wanders alone, taking on many shapes and forms, including that of a wolf, paving the way for it to encounter a lone child. Thus we have our bond, and if the animation is anything to go by, this looks like it might turn out to be rather magical.
#8: “The Promised Neverland” Season Two (2021)
Top 10 Anime Winter 2021
The original was a marvellous example of a modern fantasy thriller, excelling at weaving its tension as Emma and her fellow orphans attempted to escape their home before being sent to their deaths. Now free of the orphanage, they are faced with the terrifying unknown of the rest of the world. We can’t wait to see what awaits them, though we doubt they’re going to be living easy now, what with now having to protect a whole herd of preadolescents out in the open, with their demon overseers waiting in the wings!
#7: “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” Season Two
Let’s be honest, nobody liked the last arc from the first season. But that’s all over now! Rimuru is back, free of having to watch over those obnoxious kids, and free to get back to what he does best – tearing apart evildoers with his monstrously OP slime skills! With a much darker tone following the destruction of his stronghold, we’re hoping to see Rimuru and his crew go to war and devastate those looking for a fight! At the very least those new threads are on point!
#6: “Godzilla Singular Point” (2021)
The King of Kaiju has had quite a…interesting career when it comes to animation, and while not many were left smitten by the Planet of the Monsters trilogy, this upcoming project might be a saving grace. With the backings of studio giants like Bones and Orange, the idea of two geniuses taking on the threat of Godzilla and his fellow monsters has the potential to be both quirky yet give the atomic breathing beast the respect he deserves. Can’t get worse than Matthew Broderick’s version, surely!
#5: “My Hero Academia” Season Five (2020)
Top 10 Things to Remember Before Hero Academia Season 6
Eri’s safe, Overhaul has been left armless, and the concert is over. Now its time for the heroes of tomorrow to continue their training and tackle whatever the League of Villains have planned for them next. But first they’ve got classes to attend. We’ve got the long-awaited clash between classes as Deku and company take on Class 1-B, and while we’re hoping Monoma gets his face beaten in, the real draw here is setting what’s happening with Deku’s Quirk and his connection to the previous One for All users.
#4: “Dr. Stone: Stone Wars” (2021)
Top 10 Anticipated Anime of 2023
The dude created medicine and cell phones from scratch, you’re damn right he can win a war! With the Kingdom of Science set to take on the might of the Tsukasa Empire, this sequel looks to take the age-old concept of brains vs brawn to new animated heights. Tsukasa and his crew may hit hard, but we have no doubt that Senku and the rest will be able to science the shit out of any problem they come across! He created cola in a cola-less world, the man can do anything!
#3: “Edens Zero” (2021)
We know what you’re thinking – what are Natsu and Lucy doing in space? Well, turns out Hiro Mashima’s take on the sci-fi genre has landed itself an adaptation. While we can certainly make jokes about how the character models are reminiscent of past works, we’re still eager to see if they can bring the same heart and fun that Fairy Tail had. At the very least the fights should be flashy and fast-paced. Or was that the fanservice? Hard to tell. All we know is that Erza Scarlet apparently has a Space Pirate counterpart called Elsie Crimson. On the nose, don’t you think Mashima?
#2: “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” (2021)
Top 10 Bleach Resurreccions
Is it potentially overhyped? Could the infamous manga ending come to pass? Yes, and yet we can’t help but be excited by this. We’ve got Ichigo and the rest of Soul Society taking on the Quincy threat in its full force, with the foundation set for some truly outstanding fight scenes if the arc is adapted to its completion. While it was a standout shounen back in the day, we’re eager to see just how time and talent can elevate it to new heights.
#1: “Shaman King” (2021)
It’s the reboot that has every chance to become a monumental hit. While highly regarded as an unsung shounen back in the day along with its cataclysmically hilarious dub, the notion that we’re getting a complete rehaul of the original story, polished to a tee, with the actual conclusion animated this time around – yeah, we’re going gaga over this. If that sneak peak of Yoh using Oversoul against Hao was anything to go by, we’re in safe hands, and in for quite the nostalgia trip!
