Wondering what some of the best new anime you can watch in April 2024 are? The spring season is here, so there are many new shows to watch. Here are some of the best new anime for April 2024.
Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night
The first episode has showcased this series’ promise, with many viewers already hooked. The show is animated by Doga Kobo, the studio behind Oshi no Ko. It’s an anime original so there’s no manga or light novel, which means watching the episode weekly will be a shared experience for all. It’s a coming-of-age story with interesting commentary.
The synopsis from HIDIVE states:
“Four young women—an artist who quit drawing, a retired idol wishing to prove her worth, a hotheaded V-tuber, and a mysterious composer—band together on the late-night streets of Shibuya to form an anonymous artist group called JELEE.”
Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night is streaming on HIDIVE.
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Season 3
Most anime fans should be able to find something to enjoy while watching Konosuba. It’s a great series for those looking for something with comedically chaotic energy. Fans of fantasy settings and role-playing games will surely enjoy the party of Kazuma and the silly adventures they get into.
The synopsis from Crunchyroll reads:
“After a traffic accident, Kazuma Sato’s disappointingly brief life was supposed to be over, but he wakes up to see a beautiful girl before him. She claims to be a goddess, Aqua, and asks if he would like to go to another world and bring only one thing with him. Kazuma decides to bring the goddess herself, and they are transported to a fantasy world filled with adventure, ruled by a demon king. Now Kazuma only wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of this world’s problems, and the demon king will only turn a blind eye for so long…”
KonoSuba is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf
Spice and Wolf is a great choice for fans of more old-school anime. The first adaptation was in 2008, though fans never saw a third season. The 2024 version is a reboot, with the old cast reprising their roles. Old fans will feel nostalgic, while new fans will find the story interesting.
The synopsis from Crunchyroll reads:
“Lawrence is a traveling merchant selling various goods from a horse-drawn cart. One day, he arrives at a village and meets a beautiful girl with the ears and tail of an animal! Her name is Holo the Wisewolf and she brings bountiful harvests. She wishes to return to her homeland, and Lawrence offers to take her. Now, the once-lonely merchant and the once-lonely wisewolf begin their journey north.”
