List of previous predictions: (https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=899138)

Upcoming/unreleased anime with potential to be absolute bangers and even game changing for the medium.

Basic Criteria:
- not a sequel
- Remakes are eligible
- Spinoffs are eligible if they are loosely related enough to the original.

This will be an endlessly ever growing and changing list being updated regularly, adding in new promising releases once announced and removing ones that have already started or finished airing.

This stack is dedicated to new or simply other works of famous authors that do not fall under spin-offs, alternative timelines or stealth sequels. I will indicate the author and what they are famous for for each included anime, I hope this will help you expand your knowledge about the works of your favorite or interesting authors. I also tried not to include works for which famous authors simply wrote the script for someone else's idea, but if you want, I will include that in the future.

Shows that are on their way to bless our eyes and move the most, judging from the staff involved (movies and sequels excluded)

(costantly updated, entries will be removed once their respective broadcast ends)

Anime to look forward to

Last update 02/03/2025

Spring 2025 is getting closer, so I decided to make this list to celebrate this new season of anime adaptations.
The list is based on how much I am hyped for the series. so you may have your own ranking.
#1 - #6: You must watch them no matter what!
#7 - #11: they can be good like the first six, but there are somethings that may ruin this shows.
#12 - #14: they may be good but I will say that with a grain of salt since I am not sure!
#15 - #22: They have nice premise, that's why they are on the list so maybe they can be a banger or miss!

like always One Piece is not included
