This season ended up being better than fans initially expected it to be.
As the Winter 2024 anime season is ending in a few weeks, it’s time to look at the series. While it is obvious which ones are the popular hits, fans often wonder if there’s something they missed out on.
Here are some less popular series you might want to check out if you haven’t yet.
Ninja Kamui started airing very late into the season, so many people completely missed the fact that it even exists.
However, those who did pick the anime were pleasantly surprised: the animation is outright insane, and the whole premise of a 21st century cyborg-ninja is as cool as you might imagine.
The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu) is the kind of fantasy anime we don’t get that often nowadays. It has a unique magic setting which combines urban fantasy and a more classic European style.
The series has a very strong mystery aspect, but also features a lot of cool action. The way the witches are shown in the anime is not something you usually see in anime — without spoiling it, you can go and see it for yourself.
Ishura
If you can get through non-linear storytelling and are able to memorize over 20 characters with different abilities and motivations, Ishura might be up your alley.
An incredibly complex series following a giant cast of overpowered characters in a fantasy world, it requires a lot of patience and an ability to follow the plot closely. If you do get into it, it is very rewarding — the plot lines come together perfectly.
Brave Bang Bravern!
We don’t get mecha anime very often nowadays — and most modern fans don’t seem to like them that much. That said, Brave Bang Bravern! (Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern) is an original anime that became a hit despite that.
The series, which wasn’t expected to perform very well, became a huge hit after the first episode because of how crazy it is. It gets even more insane after that, which is extremely funny, considering most of Episode 1 is a bait that deceives the viewer into believing the anime is about something else.
Weakest Tamer
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash (Saijaku Tamer wa Gomi Hiroi no Tabi wo Hajimemashita) falls into the niche of anime which are technically isekai, but don’t follow most of the standard tropes of the genre. Despite that, it is slept on because of its seemingly generic name and premise.
The series follows Ivy, an eight-year-old girl who is starless — and in her world, the amount of stars reflects your strength. While she is technically a reincarnation from another world, that rarely comes up and doesn’t influence the plot that much. The anime is surprisingly wholesome and cute, but it also has very strong worldbuilding and great animation.
