What Is The Best Video Anime To Watch In 2024?

The anime scene in 2024 is bursting with gems, and I’ve been glued to my screen trying to keep up. One standout is 'Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End'—this fantasy series has this melancholic beauty that lingers long after each episode. It’s not your typical adventure; it’s about an elf mage reflecting on life after her party’s victory. The pacing is slow but purposeful, like sipping tea while watching autumn leaves fall. Another must-watch is 'Oshi no Ko,' which I binged in one sitting. The mix of idol culture critique and dark twists had me gasping. And let’s not forget 'Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc'—Ufotable’s animation is still god-tier, and the emotional stakes feel higher than ever. For something lighter, 'Spy x Family' continues to charm with its spy-family shenanigans, and 'Delicious in Dungeon' is a hilarious fantasy cooking romp. If you’re into sci-fi, 'Pluto' on Netflix is a masterpiece—Naoki Urasawa’s take on 'Astro Boy' is hauntingly human. I’ve also got my eye on 'The Apothecary Diaries,' a historical mystery with a sharp-witted heroine. Honestly, 2024 might be one of those years where my 'to-watch' list never shrinks.

Prime Video has some hidden gems that anime fans shouldn't miss. One standout is 'Vinland Saga,' a brutal yet poetic Viking epic with stunning animation and deep character arcs. The way it balances historical drama with personal growth is just chef's kiss. Another must-watch is 'Made in Abyss'—don't let the cute designs fool you; it’s a hauntingly beautiful descent into darkness with world-building that lingers long after the credits roll. For something lighter but equally gripping, 'Banana Fish' delivers a modern crime thriller with emotional punches that hit hard. And if you’re into psychological twists, 'Psycho-Pass' remains a classic, offering a dystopian future that feels eerily plausible. Honestly, Prime’s lineup is stronger than people give it credit for—just gotta dig past the algorithm’s usual recommendations!

If you're looking for something fresh and visually stunning, 'Blue Lock' has been dominating conversations lately—it's like 'Haikyuu!' but for soccer with a psychological twist that keeps you glued to the screen. The animation studio nailed the intensity of each match, and the character arcs are surprisingly deep for a sports anime. Then there's 'Chainsaw Man,' which I binged in one sitting because of its chaotic energy and dark humor. The blend of horror and action is unlike anything I've seen before, and Denji's absurdly relatable goals (like wanting to eat bread with jam) make the insanity oddly grounding. For 2024, I’d also keep an eye on 'Oshi no Ko'—its mix of idol culture critique and mystery hooks you from the first episode.

Nothing beats the excitement of discovering a new anime series and binge-watching it over the weekend! I usually start with Crunchyroll because it’s got a massive library, from classics like 'Naruto' to fresh releases like 'Demon Slayer.' Their free tier is decent, but the premium membership is worth it for HD and no ads. Funimation is another go-to, especially for dubbed versions—their partnership with Crunchyroll means even more options. Netflix and Hulu also have solid anime sections, though they’re a bit curated. For older or niche titles, I sometimes check out HiDive or even YouTube—some studios upload episodes legally there. If you’re into community vibes, Twitch surprisingly hosts anime marathons occasionally, and Discord servers often share legal streaming links. Just remember to support the official releases when possible—it keeps the industry thriving!

Crunchyroll is my go-to for free legal anime streaming, and honestly, it’s a treasure trove. They’ve got a massive library, from classics like 'Naruto' to newer hits like 'Demon Slayer'. The free tier does have ads, but it’s a small price to pay for access to so much content. I love how they simulcast episodes shortly after they air in Japan—it feels like being part of a global fan community. Their app is super user-friendly too, whether I’m watching on my phone or TV. For a more niche selection, I sometimes hop over to Tubi. It’s ad-supported like Crunchyroll, but they curate older series and hidden gems you won’t find everywhere. I rediscovered 'Cowboy Bebop' there last year, and the nostalgia hit hard. The downside? Fewer simulcasts, but it’s perfect for binge-watching completed series. Between these two, I rarely feel the need to venture into sketchy streaming sites.

Man, 2024 has been a wild ride for anime fans already! The standout for me has to be 'Solo Leveling.' The adaptation did justice to the manhwa's insane artwork and hype moments—every episode feels like a cinematic experience with that god-tier animation. But don't sleep on 'Delicious in Dungeon' either; it’s this weirdly cozy mix of fantasy cooking and dungeon crawling, like 'Studio Ghibli meets D&D.' The character chemistry is chef’s kiss, and it balances humor with surprisingly deep lore. Then there’s 'Metallic Rouge,' a slick sci-fi noir with mecha fights that ooze style. It’s got that classic Bones studio flair, and the protagonist’s dry wit is golden. Oh, and 'The Dangers in My Heart' Season 2? Pure diabetes-inducing fluff, but in the best way—it nails the awkward sweetness of teen romance. Honestly, 2024’s lineup feels like a buffet where every dish slaps.

The anime lineup for 2024 is absolutely stacked, and I can't wait to dive into so many of these! One that's got me hyped is 'Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End'—it’s got this melancholic yet beautiful vibe about an elf mage reflecting on her past adventures after her party members pass away. The manga’s art is stunning, and if the anime captures even half of that, it’ll be a visual feast. Another standout is 'Delicious in Dungeon,' a quirky fantasy where adventurers cook dungeon monsters to survive. It’s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, with a unique twist on classic RPG tropes. Then there’s 'Oshi no Ko' Season 2, which I’m both excited and nervous for—the first season was a rollercoaster of emotions, blending idol culture with dark, psychological twists. The manga’s only gotten wilder, so I’m bracing myself. And let’s not forget 'Blue Lock: Episode Nagi,' a spinoff focusing on the rival character Nagi. If it’s anything like the main series, expect insane soccer action and intense rivalries. Honestly, 2024 might be one of those years where my watchlist is longer than my free time!

If your feed is starving for CoryxKenshin’s reactions to anime, the most reliable spot to check is his YouTube channel — that's where he uploads full videos and livestreams the stuff that really shows his personality. I usually search ‘CoryxKenshin reaction anime’ on YouTube and then click the channel filter so I’m only seeing his uploads. Don’t forget his Shorts and clipped moments; a ton of his funniest or most surprised faces end up in bite-sized clips that are perfect if you don’t have time for a full video. Outside of YouTube, I keep an eye on his other socials for teasers and clips: X (Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok often have short reaction highlights. Fans also compile reaction moments on Reddit and in Discord servers, so if you want curated sets or timestamped moments for a specific episode or scene, those communities are gold. One thing to note is that full-length anime footage can get copyright-taken down, so sometimes you’ll only find his commentary without the actual episode — still hilarious, though. I love catching his real-time reactions during a livestream; they feel like hanging out with a friend.

If you're looking for something fresh and mind-bending in 2024, 'Pluto' is an absolute must-watch. Adapted from Naoki Urasawa's masterpiece manga, it reimagines an arc from 'Astro Boy' as a gritty, psychological thriller. The animation by Studio M2 is stunning—every frame feels like a moving painting. What really hooked me was how it balances existential questions with a detective noir vibe. The way it explores themes like humanity, revenge, and AI ethics left me staring at the ceiling for hours after episodes. For something completely different but equally brilliant, 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End' is like a warm yet melancholic hug. It follows an elf mage reflecting on life after her adventuring party's demise. The pacing is deliberately slow, but in a way that makes every quiet moment feel earned. The character development is some of the best I've seen in fantasy anime—it turns tropes inside out without ever feeling cynical. Bonus points for that gorgeous watercolor-inspired art style during flashback sequences.

If you're into the kind of content that blends humor with a touch of absurdity, Selingkyh's early sketches are pure gold. I stumbled upon their 'Office Pranks Gone Wild' video last year, and it still cracks me up—especially the scene where the coworker slowly realizes the entire office is in on the joke. Their pacing is impeccable, and the way they build tension feels almost cinematic. Later, I binged their 'Travel Fails' series, which has this charmingly chaotic energy. The episode where they attempt to order food in a language they clearly don’t speak is both relatable and hysterical. What stands out is how Selingkyh turns mundane situations into something wildly entertaining, almost like a modern-day slapstick comedy.
