TOP RETURNING ANIME TO WATCH: 2022 SEASON

  • Posted Dec 9th

1. BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA 6TH SEASON

First, the 6th season of Boku no Hero Academia is on this list. This series will be one of the best, adapting the Paranormal Liberation Front arc. If you’ve read the manga, you know this series will be filled with non-stop action as we see each character take on challenges from all sides. 

2. BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is the final arc. After the anime ended in 2012, fans waited for an adaption of the final arc, Thousand-Year Blood War. This series brings back our main characters as they face a new group called the Wandenreich. The series brings a modern facelift, promising amazing animation.

3. SPY FAMILY PART 2

Spy Family comes back with the second part of its first series. If you haven’t seen the series, the plot follows a family of a Spy, an assassin, and a psychic in this comedic spy series as the Forger family takes on the problems of daily life and international disputes, all while keeping their secrets from the other members of the family. 

4. BERSERK

As a new addition to the Berserk series, we have an adaption of the Golden Age Arc film trilogy. This series pays tribute to the amazing mangaka Kentaro Miura who sadly passed away last year. The series retells one of the most heartbreaking stories in the Berserk series. This is a great start if you want to get into the Berserk series. 

5. MARIMASHITA IRUMA-KUN 3RD SEASON

Iruma returns in the 3rd season of Marimashita Iruma-Kun. This charming adventure into the demon world is a great addition to this spooky season and adds a light-hearted experience to the other darker series this season. Iruma takes on a new term at school and tries to rise through the ranks while under further pressure from his celebrity status from the events of previous seasons. 

6. MOB PSYCHO 100 III

From the creator of One Punch Man, Mob Psycho has gained popularity with the psychic powerhouse Mob as he tries to fit in at school. Mob Psycho returns with a 3rd season, bringing us an expertly crafted combination of action and comedy. 

7. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM

Another addition to the ever-expansive Mobile Suit Gundam universe, this series follows Suletta Mercury as she transfers to the Asticassia School of Technology, run by the Beneritt Group, which dominates the mobile suit industry. This series brings us a sorely missed anime staple, the giant mech series. 

TOP 10 ANIME FOR FANTASY FANS

  • Posted Dec 9th

We all love a little escapism. There's something about fantasy which takes us away from our everyday world and submerges us in a world more magical than ours. Here is TRZNSTUDIOS list of top anime for fantasy fans. This list is in no particular order and is purely based on TRZNSTUDIOS opinions. 



1. THE RISING OF THE SHIELD HERO

Rising of the Shield hero isn’t for the faint of heart. It drops you right into the horrific reality of this fantasy world. Don’t get me wrong; this fantasy world is filled with magic, giant birds, and animal people. But it hits you where it hurts as you see the protagonist Naofumi Iwatani struggle to make it through this fantasy world. 


2. NANATSU NO TAIZAI

So this might be one of the few entries on this list with a fully adapted story. With four excellent seasons and two movies (and a third on the way), Nanatsu no Taizai takes you to a world of giants, fairies, demons and angels while bringing you the action and magic you crave from a show like this. The first season is centred on Meliodas, Elisabeth and Hawk as they search for Meliodas’ Holy Knight group, the Seven Deadly Sins. Then once you finish with that, you can read the follow-up manga, the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.   

3. MUSHOKU TENSEI: JOBLESS REINCARNATION

Mushoku Tensei is another Isekai, where our protagonist reincarnates into the body of Rudeus Greyrat, a spellcasting protege. Despite its controversies, Mushoku Tensei builds a massive and textured world that we, viewers, only get a taste of. Mushoku Tensei treats its worldbuilding like a labour of love, with a layered history, fanatical detail to the different kinds of magic and fighting styles and clues to a history I want to see more of. 

4. DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA

Demon Slayer is one of the few entries on this list that isn’t set in a fantasy world of dragons and magic. Demon Slayer is a story set in an almost pre-industrial era of Japan, where the magic of the old is at odds with the future technology. Demon Slayer is set in a world where blood-sucking demons plague the world, and Tanjiro Kamado is one of the people tasked to exterminate these demons. With films like Mugen Train and stunning animation, Demon Slayer has skyrocketed in popularity and is perfect for someone looking for an action-filled story with a great cast of characters.

5. BOFURI: I’LL MAX OUT MY DEFENCE

Bofuri is a cheat on this list; it brings us a story set in the world of an MMORPG. The protagonist, Maple, is a charmingly oblivious character who begins her journey into the game world by maxing out her defence and quickly becomes one of the most powerful characters in the game world. Bofuri is a comedic adventure into overpowered characters and just how crazy they can become. 

6. OVERLORD

Overlord is an Isekai with a twist. Our protagonist, Ainz Ooal Gown, reincarnates into a new world with the tomb of Nazarick, a dungeon filled with an army of completely loyal NPCs. But one of the biggest twists with Overlord is that it brings you the story of the world, told from the perspective of the people living in it. The second season of Overlord is told from the perspective of a tribe of lizardmen. Overlord works hard to present a world faced with the danger of a new powerful force. Overlord doesn’t shy away from the dark side either, the forces of Nazarick are truly evil while being directed by the titular Overlord.

7. BLACK CLOVER

Black Clover is a shonen that puts the magicless Asta in a world of action and adventure. We see Asta take on a cast of magical characters to reach his goal of becoming the Wizard King. It's a standard shonen story that brings you characters with unique personalities and magic. I’d recommend Black Clover to anyone looking for a new shonen to invest in. 

8. ATTACK ON TITAN

Attack on Titan is another story with a fairly unique setting, with a pre-modern level of technology where our protagonists take on giant beings known as titans with cannons and 3D manoeuvre gear. Attack on Titan brings us a world of mystery and politics, paired with action-filled scenes of people sailing through the air and taking on threats bigger than themselves. Attack on Titan has four seasons, with the final part of the series being released in 2023. 

9. THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME

Coming from the world of Isekai, That Time I got reincarnated as slime is a light-hearted adventure where the protagonist Rimuru, goes from salaryman to slime. With a cast of goblins, oni, dwarves and demon lords, That Time I got reincarnated as a slime brings you a charming adventure in a sorcery world. Don’t expect Rimuru to struggle through every fight, but That Time I got reincarnated as a Slime brings us a beautiful and lively world framed in an entertaining premise.

10. FULL METAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD

Full Metal Alchemist is a world that beautifully mixes magic and technology. The story follows Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse trying to find the philosopher’s stone. The world of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood brings us a world with a magical force called Alchemy, which lets people transform one thing into another of equivalent value; this is mixed with the world's technology, like Automail, which is a mechanical prosthetic.
