For me, it's Sakamoto Days, Lazarus (should [as] premiere it around mid-season), the second cour of Trillion Game, Honey Lemon Soda and I'm Living With an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!?.

Sanda and Anno's Gundam got my interest. I would say Frieren too but no trailer yet

I eventually got around to seeing all of 100 Girlfriends and, even as someone who normally likes its genre, still fail to appreciate the hype about that one. (And no, I'm not inviting people to explain it to me further in forums. If the enthusiasm of the writers in this feature didn't change my mind then you're probably not going to do it, either.) I'll probably follow it, but it might not even crack my top 10 for priority views this season.

My Most-Anticipated overall will, unquestionably, be the return of The Apothecary Diaries, which is one of my top picks of the year for both 2023 and 2024. Amongst new series, I'm probably most enthusiastic about Fate/Strange Fake, partly because I love how it's pulling from all across its franchise's spectrum. There are at least a dozen other titles that I'm at least mildly curious about, though, so as always, I'm fully expecting several others to either distinguish themselves or at least prove worthy of being one of the mindless fodder views which make my viewing list each season.

I went through the PVs recently and only really got Zenshu, Sakamoto Days and Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective into my watch list so it's gonna be a slow season. Of those, Zenshu definitely seems like the one with the most potential, being an original

For the second season in a row, I have approximately zero anime I am looking forward to. The only one I’m planning on watching so far is the new Bang Dream, but given that this season’s going to be focused on my least-favorite band in the franchise, I wouldn’t exactly say I’m looking forward to it -- it's more like a chore I'm obligated to do as a fan of the wider franchise.

To be fair I wasn’t looking forward to anything coming into this last season either, but ultimately found a few goodies. And on the bright side, looking ahead to spring, I already see a few that look promising.

Isn't Strange Fake just 1 episode? As far as I am aware, It's airing as part of the new/old years broadcasts.

I wasn't feeling very excited about the upcoming season based on the ANN PVs youtube vid, but we've got Frieren and Apothecary Diaries both? Even without something like Dan da Dan surprising me, I can't really complain if those two are around.

. Yep. The full show will air later. Rumours say probably spring based on it’s placement in a promo video of the studio and their projects. Probably the new years stream will confirm when

Sakamoto Days
100 Girlfriends S2

Others I'm hoping turn out well:
Red Ranger Adventurer
Guild Receptionist
Ubel Blatt
Bureaucrat to Villainess
Okitsura

For me, the Winter is mostly about sequels of Blue Exorcist, Solo Leveling, My Happy Marriage, Apothecary Diaries, Ishura, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun and Dr. Stone. Of the completely new titles, I'm looking forward to Doctor Detective, Tasokare Hotel, Sakamoto Days, ZENSHU and some others.

Another packed season for me but if I had to pick my most anticipated ones:

The Apothecary Diaries had an amazing first season and seeing the trailer makes it seem like more of the same quality is on the way.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 I am happy to see since it has been so long since the first season and while that had its issues I found it very charming.

Dr. Stone: Science Future will hopefully finally resolve the ''why man'' mystery and show science go even further in absurd ways.

Okitsura: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl the manga had me very interested in Okinawan culture and tradition thus the anime is a must see.

Solo Leveling is a guilty pleasure and the second season seems rather exciting.

Glad to see Hanako-kun S2 is getting the attention it deserves from the staff, although I expected The Apotechary Diaries S2 to be a bit higher. Anyway, those and Flower and Asura are the ones I keep an eye out on right now.

My beloved series like 100 girlfriends and Apothecary's Diaries will carry the season from sequel front for me, but looking at originals and new series there is less excitement this time around. I'll try Sakamoto Days (not sure if TMS studio is the good pick for this adaptation ), Zenshu, Fate/Strange Fake and some others that might stand out during the season, but main attention is directed towards the sequels.

Unfortunately, the next season of Frieren is not starting in the upcoming season. The only announcement regarding a second season of Frieren so far, was that its production was given the go ahead.

There has been no additional information on exactly when it will eventually air. ANN Article and Official Website Announcement regarding the approval of the production of the next season.
