As we move closer to the Summer 2023 anime season, fans are ready to watch the best anime sequels lined up for the season. Here’s a list of 5 anime sequels you need to watch this summer.

With the spring season coming to an end, anime lovers all around the world are already planning to watch the summer shows.

So far, 2023 has offered some outstanding releases. There’s no shortage of terrific series coming out this year, from brand-new hits to returning favourites. 

Every season this year has been a big hit, and with the line-up of anime scheduled to return this season, Summer 2023 appears to be the best yet.

Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the biggest anime of the decade. With the enormous success of the First Season and the Prequel Movie, fans have high expectations from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.

The series’ global popularity is understandable, given its brilliantly unique art style and intriguing cast of iconic characters. The upcoming season will adapt “Gojo’s Past Arc and Shibuya Incident Arc” and will release on July 6 2023. 

Bleach TYBW Part 2

Despite being one of the Shonen classics, Bleach ended halfway without adapting the final and the most intense arc, “Thousand Year Blood War.” Luckily, during the manga’s 20th anniversary in 2021, the anime adaptation of Bleach TYBW Arc was announced. 

The new season covered the same characters in the original storyline with much better animation and soundtrack — which is everything fans had wished for. Bleach TYBW Part 2 is set to release in July 2023, though the exact date has yet to be announced.

Horimiya: Piece

Horimiya is a popular romance manga which was adapted into anime back in 2021. Despite the beautiful animation and catchy soundtrack, the anime adaptation didn’t manage to live up to fans’ expectations. The series was 13 episodes long, yet it covered the entire story, missing most of the scenes from the manga. 

The missing parts and weird pacing completely ruined the essence of the story. However, CloverWorks announced a new Horimiya anime called Horimiya: Piece, which is lined up for Summer 2023. The series is set to release in July 2023, though the exact date has yet to be announced.

Bungou Stray Dogs 5th Season
