Anime: New Shows To Watch This Spring

3 Minute Read
Mar 18 2022

It’s almost time for a whole new season of anime! These are the shows we’re looking most forward to watching next month.

Seasons are wrapping up and Spring’s collection of anime are right around the corner. There’s a lot to look forward to, but these are some of our most highly anticipated new shows of the season. As always, my picks are entirely new animes. So even though we’re excited for Tiger & Bunny 2 and Ultraman, I’ll instead be highlighting these promising newcomers.

Summertime Render

Shinpei goes back to his hometown after the death of an old friend, but something isn’t right. This supernatural mystery anime promises to be brutal with enough twists to keep us guessing. Show’s like this can be a lot, but if you’re looking for a murder mystery with some otherworldly elements, Summertime Render looks like it will be a good one.

Tomodachi Game

Yuichi and his friends all receive mysterious letters asking them to meet up. Then they wake up on the set of a defunct children’s game show to play a “friendship game” and prove who in the group is a real friend and who is a traitor. The synopsis reads like SAW for high school students and caused by missing field-trip money. Are you ready for something a little tense and psychological?

 

Estab-Life: Great Escape

In the future Earth population is on the decline and AI are there to preserve what’s left. Through genetic engineering, a diverse array of people now exist, including animal hybrids and magical beings. But everyone is clustered into unique groups by the AI, unaware of the outside world until the group Nigashiya helps some escape. This looks so weird and has a ton of potential to be something very cool.

Spy x Family

“Twilight” is a secret agent living his secret agent life with his fake wife and daughter who don’t know anything about his secret identity. Accept his wife is an assassin and his daughter has psychic powers. Turning from fake family into something much more real, Spy x Family is one of the upcoming animes I’m most looking forward to. I can’t wait to see what twists and antics are instore for Twilight, Yor, and Anya.

 

Love After World Domination

What if the leader of the Power Rangers and one of Rita’s minions fell in love? They, of course, would have to battle it out. But when they’re not on the super-clock, they’d be pretty darn cute. That’s basically the plot of Love After World Domination. This romantic comedy looks like some of the most fun imaginable, and is an anime that I’ve been looking forward to for months now. Will these two crazy kids make it work? I honestly hope so.
