The year 2024 brought a lot of new anime, both new and sequels to previous releases. Bringing a diverse range of genres and storytelling styles, a number of 2024 anime have captivated worldwide audiences. While the year did introduce a lot of good anime, in this article, we will take a look at the best new anime of 2024. In this article, we are only going to discuss the new anime, meaning we are not going to talk about the sequels or prequels of other anime such as Tower of God season 2 or My Hero Academia.
Delicious In Dungeon
Culinary anime, such as Food Wars, has been a popular hit with the audience, but this time, rather than cooking food from our world, we follow the characters as they travel through the dungeon, killing monsters, and well, cooking and eating them. Delicious In Dungeon is one of the most unique anime of 2024 that blends culinary and fantasy delightfully.
Moreover, the anime is not only about cooking monsters in the Dungeon, it also has a fairly interesting storyline and a fair share of good fights. The anime also features well-written and likable characters. Delicious In Dungeon brings a humorous twist to the dungeon-crawling genre, making this a must-watch anime of 2024.
Suicide Squad Isekai
Although as its name suggests, it is an isekai anime where our group of heroes travels to another world. However, in this case, the group is not exactly one consisting of heroes, rather it has anti-heroes, such as Harley Quinn, King Shark, Deadshot, Clayface, and Peacemaker. This time the infamous group of villains aka Suicide Squad are sent to another world, a fantasy world. Suicide Squad Isekai is an action-packed anime with dark humor and morally complex characters, making it a must-watch anime of 2024.
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings In Russian
Who does not like a good heartwarming romance comedy anime, and the year 2024 has introduced one of the best romance comedy anime we have seen in a long time. The story of the anime is pretty straightforward, but there is a twist. Alya is already head over heels for the main character, and sometimes (yes you guessed it), she hides her feelings in Russian.
However, the twist is that the main character understands the Russian language, and of course, Alya is not aware of this. The anime is filled with charming misunderstandings, cultural nuances, and endearing characters, making it a delightful watch.
Wind Breaker
If you are a fan of the Tokyo Revengers anime, then you are absolutely going to love this entry. Wind Breaker is an action comedy anime, where our main character, Sakura is aiming to face the strongest of the strong. While Sakura is pretty capable when it comes to fighting but besides that he is pretty awkward in all other areas. Wind Breaker features a lot of characters each with their own motives and stories, and of course, fighting styles.
As straightforward as the story of this anime is, it also has good humor. As the story progresses, we get to know that physical strength can only take you so far. To know how Sakura is going to fight and become the strongest, you will have to watch the Wind Breaker anime.
Wistoria: Wand And Sword
We have seen a fair number of anime that feature a world where magic is absolute, one of the recent entries that comes to mind is Mashle. Although Wistoria: Wand and Sword also features a world where magic dominates everything, it is quite different from the ones we have seen previously. For starters, the main character of the show has a goal of his own and is not overpowered, at least not completely overpowered.
Wistoria: Wand and Sword also feature a good storyline along with characters, world-building, and a magic system. The anime has a good number of fights that are carried out beautifully and the music makes the fights even better. Wistoria: Wand and Sword is a great action fantasy anime and is one of the best anime released this year.

This anime features a high school student who aims to become an honest, humble, and ordinary citizen after enduring a bitter experience known as “wisdom work”.

However, inexplicable things and disasters keep happening around them and their plan to lead an ordinary life seems a difficult task. How to Become Ordinary is a mystery anime with a good storyline and characters that can keep you engaged for the whole run.

In a world where almost everybody is making loads of money through streaming, there is Hobin Yoo, a struggling high student who shoulders huge responsibilities.

As Hobin is always in dire need of money, he starts to learn martial arts and give live streaming a go.
