6Wind Breaker
Wind Breaker
In a world wherehigh school delinquentsrule the streets, Wind Breaker stands out as a unique blend of brawls, brotherhood, and personal growth. The story follows Haruka Sakura, a transfer student with a cold demeanor and an overwhelming urge to prove his strength. His arrival at Furin High, a school known for protecting the city rather than terrorizing it, sets him on a path he never expected, one where fights aren’t just about dominance but about justice and camaraderie.
Season 1 covered Haruka’s initiation into Furin and his clashes with the school’s strongest members, particularly Umemiya. With his fists doing most of the talking, Haruka slowly started forming bonds, despite his initial resistance.
Season 2 is set to dive deeper into the conflicts with rival schools and street gangs, particularly the arrival of new, more dangerous adversaries. The manga hints at intense battles that will push Haruka beyond his limits, testing both his physical strength and emotional walls. Fans anticipate more jaw-dropping fight sequences, fluid animation, and character development that cements Wind Breaker as a must-watch for action lovers.
5Hell’s Paradise
MAPPA’s adaptation of Hell’s Paradise (Jigokuraku) left viewers on the edge of their seats with its brutal combat and mysterious island setting. The first season introduces us to Gabimaru the Hollow, a legendary ninja sentenced to death who agrees to search for the elixir of immortality on a mysterious island in exchange for his freedom.
What made the first season so compelling was its unflinching portrayal of violence juxtaposed with beautiful, almost ethereal landscapes. The island of Shinsenkyo proved to be as much a character as any of the human cast, with its bizarre plant-human hybrids and inexplicable phenomena.
Season 2 is expected to continue exploring the island’s mysteries while escalating the stakes. Manga readers know what’s coming. Intense confrontations with the Tensen, deeper lore surrounding Tao, the life energy that dictates power in this world, and heart-wrenching sacrifices. The upcoming season will also highlight Gabimaru’s wavering resolve. Does he truly want to return to his wife, or has the island changed him irreversibly?

The self-proclaimed Knight King has always been an oddball, but his destiny collides with Dragon, the mightiest warrior under the Evangelist. This battle, which the manga hails as one of the most visually stunning encounters, will test Arthur in ways he’s never experienced before.
Season 3 will also dive deeper into the origins of the world, revealing truths about spontaneous human combustion and the apocalyptic past that reshaped civilization. With Atsushi Okubo’s ties to Soul Eater, expect some major surprises connecting the two series.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji isn’t your average high school protagonist. His cold, calculating mind has manipulated every major event at Advanced Nurturing High School, ensuring that Class 1-D rises to the top. But in Classroom of the Elite Season 3, his past is finally catching up to him.
The last season revealed more about the White Room, the facility that created Ayanokoji’s unparalleled intellect. Now with his father trying to force him out of the school, he must navigate new threats while continuing his climb to power. Class battles will intensify, new rivalries will emerge, and Ayanokoji will be tested like never before.
This season promisesmind games, betrayals, and psychological warfare at a level beyond what fans have seen so far. With more light novel material being adapted, viewers can expect shocking revelations about Ayanokoji’s true capabilities.
2My Hero Academia
Final Season
My Hero Academia
It all started with a boy who had no Quirk but carried the heart of a hero. Now My Hero Academia’s final season will conclude Izuku Midoriya’s long and arduous journey toward becoming the world’s greatest hero.
The stakes have never been higher. After the Dark Deku arc, which saw Deku embracing solitude for the sake of protecting others, the story is now set to enter its ultimate phase, the final war between heroes and villains. Manga readers know that this arc is a collision of ideals, pitting One For All against All For One in a clash that will determine the future of hero society.
Every major character will have their moment, from Bakugo’s growth as a hero to Shigaraki’s ultimate fate. Expect heartbreaking losses, triumphant victories, and the end of one of Shonen anime’s biggest modern franchises. For better or worse, this will be the last stand of Class 1-A.
1Demon Slayer
Infinity Castle
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer’s upcoming season will bring one of the most anticipated arcs in modern anime, the Infinity Castle arc. This isn’t just another season. It’s a full-scale war between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji’s forces, promising non-stop action, sacrifices, and the series' most stunning animation sequences yet.
Fans have been waiting for this moment. The showdown between Giyu and Akaza, Sanemi and Kokushibo, and of course, Tanjiro’s final battle against Muzan. Ufotable’s track record with animation suggests that the Infinity Castle’s shifting architecture, fluid combat choreography, and high-intensity battles will set a new benchmark for anime visuals.
For manga readers, this arc is one of the most emotional and unpredictable, with the fate of beloved characters hanging by a thread. Given how each previous season elevated the anime to a new level of hype, Infinity Castle is expected to be nothing short of legendary.
