Enchanting romantic stories and historical dramas.

The anime industry knows no rest: fall greeted us not only with seasonal coolness, but also with hot new releases.

As always, among the fresh releases and new seasons of already familiar shows, there are also unique stories that do not hesitate to take anime to a new level.

1. Blue Box, 2024-...

Blue Box tells the story of a young athlete named Taiki who falls in love with a high school girl on the basketball team. This romantic drama explores the topics of first love, the complexities of adolescence, and the difficulties athletes face in balancing their feelings and ambitions.

The hallmark of this anime is its attention to detail and everyday atmosphere: each episode shows moments of life that seem simple, but in fact reveal the complexities of adolescence.

2. Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms, 2024-...

This project tells the story of a teenager named Hikaru who accidentally discovers a mechanical arm with its own will and consciousness. Together they enter a world where technology has taken on a whole new meaning.

The topic of the synthesis of man and machine is shown here from an unexpected side: the mechanical arm helps the main character uncover the secrets not only of the outside world, but also of his inner self. Animation, attention to detail and a philosophical subtext make Mechanical Arms more than just an action title.

3. Dandadan, 2024-...

The plot revolves around two high school students, Momo and Ken, who have diametrically opposed views on the supernatural. Momo is a ufologist and her favorite topic is aliens, while Ken is sure that the world is filled with evil spirits. After a strange deal, they find themselves on the edge of reality and the paranormal, encountering things they never suspected.

The series is a perfect mix of humor, lightness and truly intense scenes. Dandadan surprises with original visuals, an abundance of dynamic scenes and outstanding character development, making it one of the most outstanding titles of the season.

4. Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance, 2024

The return of the legendary swordsman Kenshin is a treat for fans of samurai action. In the new arc viewers will experience not only an epic battle, but also a psychological drama, as Kenshin must once again confront the horrors of his past.

The martial arts scenes are fascinating, and the deep dialogues and moral choices of the main character emphasize that the true samurai spirit is not only physical strength, but also the courage to admit one's mistakes.

5. Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, 2024-...

A historical drama that tells the dramatic fate of scientists from the Inquisition era who tried to prove the heliocentric system. The main character is a young astronomer who is persecuted and threatened because of his research.

The topics of science, faith and the search for truth are intertwined in this anime, making it an important work for those interested in history and philosophy. The gorgeous animation conveys the atmosphere of the time, and the plot makes you think about the price of progress and the place of science in the world.
