Fans of animation in Japan have been waiting for the denunciation of the best anime for Summer 2024, and the anime lovers’ favorite web-site, animateTimes, presents the list.
The new season finally presents a combination of new shows and those that have been popular with the viewers in the past to give preference to all sorts of audiences. Below is the list of leading anime titles to watch this summer, according to the record of the initial reactions of the spectators.
Leading Anime Series
“Oshi no Ko” Sequel, Summer 2024, promising the second season has received the highest viewership result. They remain enthusiastic about this series because showbiz drama and supernatural themes are promised.
Currently, watch on HIDIVE. “Oshi no Ko” is an animation series that focuses on a young actress named Ai Hoshino who is killed by a fan and is reborn as a child; Aquamarine Hoshino. A bit darker compared to other shows while tackling more about the dark side of the entertainment industry, it offers a spin to the isekai genre.
In second place, we have “Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian“, a lovely series that is available on Crunchyroll. Subtlety and humor in the main female character’s search for emotions and corresponding feelings’ secrecy form the anime’s background against the background of cultural and, in the literal sense of the word, romantic interference.
The third ranked, “The Elusive Samurai“, has been relatively active throughout the year; however, it is still quite difficult for them to make an impact in the international scene. This series, although still not tied to any of the streaming platforms, is based on the author of “Assassination Classroom” and will appeal to fans of the show.
Additional Notable Titles
The summer anime is mostly filled with series’ sequels, and there are several brand new shows that also stand out. Notable mentions include:
- Senpai is an Otokonoko: Senpai is an Otokonoko is an anime that depicts the aspects of gender and romance by focusing on high school students.
- Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools

Audience preferences and trends
The rankings also show, for instance, that there is considerably more support for new series than for sequels this summer. A fresh generation of anime dominates the top lists, with seven out of the ten entries being first-season shows. Conversely, notable series such as “Fairy Tail:100 Years Quest” and Tower of God were left out of the top rankings.
Controversies and Production Notes
The industry is under ever-in-depth scrutiny and rumors, and this has not left Dahlia in Bloom untouched. Some recent idle gossip went as far as attributing the making of animations to North Korean animators. However, the anime’s production committee has talked and made these comments where they said, segments of North Korean animators will be altered domestically so that they are of high quality and do not offend anyone or violate any international laws.
Conclusion
As Summer 2024 gets closer, anime lovers will have a great choice of new series and shows, as well as the sequels.
