Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night
| Release Date | April 7, 2024 |

Delicious in Dungeon
| Release Date | January 4, 2024 |
| Writer | Ryoko Kui |
Dungeon Meshi has been continuing on from the Winter 2024 season and it’s only in the second half that it’s become one of the best anime airing in May 2024. With unexpected plot twists, raw characterization, and brutal action, this anime has come into a lot of spotlight after Frieren and The Apothecary Diaries ended last season. This is not your usual fantasy cooking anime and that’s all we’ll tell you.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 3
| Release Date | April 5, 2024 |
| Writer | Fuse |
This sequel of this series specifically has been dubbed “reincarnated into a meeting” as a joke after the first 6 episodes mainly dabbled in worldbuilding that happened through politics and discussions in large table meetings. But the wait is over as we’re about to jump headfirst into some action starting the next episode and fans are hyped for one of the best anime airing in May 2024.
Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2
| Release Date | April 8, 2024 |
| Writer | Rifujin na Magonote |
After the first half of Season 2 dealt with Rudy’s depression and ED, the second half manages to give Rudy a brief period of respite with his newly married wife Sylphie, and his bonding with his little sisters Aisha and Norn. But all that’s over now as he’s once again forced apart from his current family and a baby on the way to go help his father Paul rescue his mother. Things are about to get real dark, real soon so stay seated for one of the best anime airing in May 2024.
KonoSuba Season 3
| Release Date | April 10, 2024 |
| Writer | Natsume Akatsuki |
If Mushoku Tensei made you worried, sad, and anxious, KonoSuba Season 3 is back to lift your spirits up with its usual brand of comedy and the shenanigans of Kazuma and his crew. Despite the tension of a conspiracy within the royal family and more new Demon King’s forces, Kazuma and his merry band of misfits still manage to keep things hilarious and is one of the best anime airing in May 2024.
Wind Breaker
| Release Date | April 5, 2024 |
| Writer | Satoru Nii |
One of the best anime airing in May 2024, Wind Breaker is the delinquent anime we all needed and deserved instead of the overhyped and irritating Tokyo Revengers. If you’re just here for some great characters having a good slugfest, then this is your jam.
One Piece
| Release Date | October 20, 1999 |
| Writer | Eiichiro Oda |
One Piece has to be the only anime competing for relevancy with its manga counterpart. Despite the star-studded names in animation animating some of the coolest and cleanest sequences in One Piece and anime overall, the One Piece manga is also going toe-to-toe with groundbreaking, series-defining reveals. It’s safe to say that this is the best time to be a One Piece fan.
My Hero Academia Season 7
| Release Date | May 4, 2024 |
| Writer | Kohei Horikoshi |
My Hero Academia Season 7 started off with Star & Stripe- one of the greatest heroes in MHA history, the top hero of America, the strongest female hero, and the bearer of one of the strongest quirks- New Order. It’s safe to say that she is taking over the internet to make MHA S7 one of the best anime airing in May 2024, but this is just the beginning of the Final Arc- there’s more to look forward to.
Demon Slayer Season 4
| Release Date | May 12, 2024 |
| Writer | Koyoharu Gotouge |
Demon Slayer Season 4 has been one of the most anticipated sequels of modern battle shounen and it’s finally airing. The first episode was a 48-minute banger and the animation is again, as usual, off the charts. While this season isn’t going to be heavy on fights and antagonists, this is the final arc before the Final Saga of the story so of course fans are hyped for one of the best anime airing in May 2024.
Kaiju No. 8
| Release Date | April 13, 2024 |
| Writer | Naoya Matsumoto |
The hottest new battle shonen adaptation, Kaiju No. 8 has taken over the internet like the kaiju it is. Its presence and influence are monstrous with people already calling it the successor of Attack on Titan or Jujutsu Kaisen. It also has a fresh feel because, unlike any other show in this line-up, the protagonist of this one is a 32-year-old so we have some representation for our veteran anime fans who are also about that age.
So these are the hottest, most popular anime airing in May 2024 and they come packed with punch, class, and character. Which of these shows will you be following?
