As of yet, 'My Daemon' and 'Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure' haven't been added to MAL. The former is probably because it's a studio (IGLOO STUDIO) that's got too few anime projects, they've done CG work for 'So I'm a Spider, So What?' and that the 'KIDS SEE GHOSTS' Animated show preview. For Gudetama's case, it'll mainly have to do with it being a CG hybrid with live-action, but hey! 'Gal & Dino' and 'Pop Team Epic' both have live-action segments so if we stretch that logic it'll be added... eventually?

Currently being updated...

Anime that have been announced a long time ago and have had no new future information due to their indefinite delays, possibly abandoned or unlikely to be released.

Anime not in the database:

- Roman Album: Taishou Dennou Dadaism Emaki - Despera
- Girls' Work (Ufotable)
- Sadon Desu (Gainax)

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.

While 2022 and 2023 both gave us an outstanding amount of new and original anime, what will 2024 bring us? Fortunately I'm here to create a list of shows and movies that I believe will define this year for new anime. I have not read the sources for anything I'm listing, meaning no manga insights, light novel spoilers, or visual novel validations. Everything listed below is based on whether the entry synopsis, poster, or title intrigues me, or whether I know of something that has made me excited for this show.

Criteria:
- The entry has to be a newly airing franchise (specifically not a sequel/prequel season), remakes are fair game though.
- The entry has to start airing within 2024 (meaning Frieren is going to miss this list unfortunately).
- The entry has to end it's season/cour by the end of Winter 2025.
- The entry has to be listed on MAL.

This list will be updated throughout the year as shows get release dates and new series are added.
