As an avid anime watcher, I am very excited for this upcoming fall season, as many anime shows are set to be released. While the pandemic has postponed the release dates of numerous shows, directors and animators have worked hard to successfully release content. I hope that even if you aren’t infatuated with the genre, you can try watching these shows for the first time!
Below, are the five soon to be released anime shows that are sure to captivate the hearts of watchers:
After a long-awaited six years since its first release date, the last season of Haikyuu is finally out. Starting from October 2nd, new episodes are being released every week. Haikyuu!! is a volleyball anime famous for its intense plot and compelling backgrounds of each character as they compete in a high school volleyball tournament?
Though I admit that at first, I was hesitant to click the play button due to my lack of interest in sports, I was completely blown away from episode one. Not only are the detailed animation and high-energy theme songs captivating, the humor and relatability that I watched, despite not having similar characteristics to the protagonists, engrossed me. Haikyuu!! is a universal anime that anyone can watch, and I promise that all 74 episodes are well worth it.
With the trailer released on September 30th, this new skateboarding anime has already swooned the hearts of 148,547 people on YouTube. Though not much about the plot has been released, many fans are excited not only for the charming characters but also its production team, as the directors were responsible for the infamous Free! and Banana Fish. Follow the journey of Reki as he hones his skateboarding skills and experiences the thrilling sides of the sport in this exciting anime.
Noblesse, written by Son Jeho and illustrated by Lee Kwangsu, is a South Korean manhwa released as a webtoon in December 2007. From being updated weekly on the app until its finale in June 2014, the story is finally getting more recognition, and news of its animation was announced to the public just this past August. The story follows Raizel, a vampire over 820-years-old who starts a new life as a high school student.
However, his peace doesn’t last for long, as a group of attackers called the “Union” pursues him. Noblesse follows Raizel and his loyal servant Frankenstein in their trials to constantly protect and save Raizel's new human friends from supernatural threats.
The genre is action and supernatural, so if you like vampires or other fantasy and thriller genres, I suggest you first read the webtoon and then move on to watching the newly released anime.
Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima: Though there are only two episodes released so far, this anime is slowly gaining fame for it being music-based. Hypnosis Mic is a breath of fresh air for those who are unfamiliar with the action and sci-fi genre. The story takes place in a world where women dominate the government and forbid the use of weapons.
Instead, war is waged through words, with fierce rap battles as the weapon in the constant clash for territory. Not only is it refreshing to see rare female representation in animation, but it is also interesting to see the action take place in a nonphysical way!
In Hokkaido, Sugimoto—nicknamed “Sugimoto the immortal”—survived the Russo-Japanese war and seeks riches promised by the Gold Rush in hopes of saving the widowed wife of his now deceased comrade.
During this hunt for riches, he discovers hints of a hidden stash of gold by corrupt criminals. Partnering with an Ainu girl that saves his life from the harsh climates of the north, they venture into a survival adventure to race against the criminals in their search.
Since the anime coalesces the genres of action, adventure, historical, and seinen, it is great for those who love action-packed anime. Not only do the cool main characters quickly engross the watcher’s attention, but the plot in itself is also a great historical adventure that ventures into the Meiji era of Japan.
Lastly, please remember to grab a water bottle and some food when starting an anime. I know how quickly time passes when infatuated with an anime, but it will be meaningless if your health deteriorates, so please remember to take care of yourself!

Honestly, I'm a bit worried about Noblesse. Sometimes webtoon adaptations can be hit or miss with their pacing.

I wasn't convinced about Hypnosis Mic at first but the concept of rap battles replacing actual weapons is pretty creative.

The manhwa community has been buzzing with anticipation ever since MAPPA Studio announced their adaptation of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. With a spring 2026 release date confirmed and 24 episodes planned for the first season, this adaptation represents one of the most ambitious manhwa-to-anime projects ever undertaken. But what makes this series so special that it warranted such a massive production commitment? If you're hearing about Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint for the first time or wondering whether the hype is justified, this guide will prepare you for what promises to be one of the biggest anime releases of the year. We'll cover the story premise, why it's captured millions of readers worldwide, what MAPPA's involvement means, and everything else you need to know before the first episode airs
Sports anime and manga have delivered countless memorable series over the decades, from Slam Dunk's basketball brilliance to Haikyuu's volleyball excellence. These stories typically follow familiar patterns: talented but inexperienced protagonist joins a team, forms bonds with teammates, faces rivals, grows through competition, and ultimately pursues championship glory. The formula works because it taps into universal themes about effort, teamwork, and self-improvement. The Boxer, created by JH, takes everything you expect from sports stories and systematically deconstructs it. The protagonist doesn't love boxing. He doesn't form deep bonds with teammates. He doesn't overcome challenges through friendship and determination. Instead, the manhwa presents one of the darkest, most psychologically complex examinations of combat sports ever created, wrapped in stunningly minimalist artwork that elevates the narrative to something approaching high art.
The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of manhwa as a medium. What started as a trickle of Korean comics receiving anime adaptations has become a flood, with at least fifteen confirmed projects bringing beloved manhwa to animated life. This explosive growth wasn't accidental but the inevitable result of Solo Leveling's massive success proving that manhwa adaptations can compete with traditional manga anime in quality, popularity, and profitability. Studios across Japan and Korea are investing heavily in manhwa properties, recognizing that Korean storytelling brings fresh perspectives, innovative premises, and built-in fanbases eager to see their favorite series animated. The diversity of genres receiving adaptations demonstrates that manhwa appeal extends far beyond action and fantasy into romance, psychological thriller, sports, and slice-of-life territories.
