Okay, admittedly this upcoming season will not be as exciting as the previous one. That is no surprise considering how jam-packed Winter 2021 was with eagerly anticipated sequels and adaptations. Don’t be discouraged though. If you take a quick look at the complete anime season schedule below, you are more than likely to find something that will tickle your fancy. For example we have My Hero Academia returning for a 5th season, Zombieland Saga, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun are getting their sequels and Fruits Basket will reach its conclusion with its final season. There are also some new titles that will be well worth your precious otaku time such as Edens Zero, Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san as well as the new Shaman King adaptation. There’s a lot to like about Spring 2021 anime season so have a quick read and clear your schedule.
