Here is a list of specially chosen list of Best Anime Spring 2023 to watch, budding with lots of excitement, hype and high quality.
Another season of growth and rebirth has graced our planet! Not the crops, but spring 2023 anime have ripened and will soon be available to pluck for all audiences to enjoy. Last season had some great shows like Vinland Saga Season 2, Tokyo Revengers Season 2 and Trigun Stampede—which offered some spicy conversations. This best anime spring 2023 list has been curated from some of the biggest anime streaming sites: Crunchyroll, Netflix, HIDIVE and Disney+.
These anime will have you warmed up from the cold winters and into your raincoats—some may make you cry in the rain. Also, a few of these are new seasons of returning series, so you can expect some spoilers if you have not started them yet.
1. Dr. Stone Season 3 (Crunchyroll)
Dr. Stone has been one of my personal favourite series for its ability to show off how modern-day people could live off the land if we were sent back to the Stone Ages, despite the fact that all that knowledge comes from one teenage boy. I cannot wait to see this season as the remnants of Tsukasa’s Empire of Might join forces with Senku and the Kingdom of Science to create a ship to sail to a part of the suspected origin of the global petrification.
2. TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You Season 2 (Crunchyroll)
This would not be a Best Anime Spring 2023 list without some love blossoming! The sweet story of Nasa and Tsukasa continues after surviving some awkward first nights together and recovering from their apartment fire. Against all odds, it seems like these lovers were just meant to be. The wedding plans are on, but as new friends come into their lives, their lives may get shaken up yet again.
3. MASHLE: Magic and Muscles (Crunchyroll)
This brand-new series is probably my number one recommendation for this season because I have been reading the manga for a while now, and it does not disappoint. It takes place in a fantasy world where pretty much everyone has magic except for one boy—Mash Burnedead. While he tries to remain secluded with his family, someone attempts to kill him, and he finds himself enrolled at Magic School. If you liked One Punch Man, this will be right up your alley.
4. Hell’s Paradise (Crunchyroll)
Studio MAPPA continues to ride their highs after animating some of the past seasons’ biggest series: Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan: The Final Season. I have heard great things about the manga for Hell’s Paradise, so I am confident it should be one to watch for this season of spring 2023 anime. It follows Gabimaru, a former shinobi on death row, who is told he can be free if he can bring back the Elixir of Life from a mysterious island. Of course, many trials and troubles await Gabimaru as he tries to accomplish his mission in hopes of reuniting with his beloved wife.
5. The Ancient Magus’ Bride Season 2 (Crunchyroll)
Season 1 came out back in 2017, so this was a long overdue one. This season brings back Chise, the Sleigh Beggy herself, as she is finally able to accept Elias and herself, along with her situation. With Cataphilus back in a slumber, Chise is able to go back to her regular life, only to receive an invitation from a mutual aid organization for mages called the College. This season will bring back characters as well as introduce new ones as this beautifully interesting world continues to grow.
6. Konosuba — An Explosion On This Wonderful World (Crunchyroll)
With a new season brings an awesome start to a spin-off series for this Best Anime Spring 2023 list. This show follows one of the fan-favourite characters from the main Konosuba series, Megumin. It is about how she studies to master her number one spell that saved her life: Explosion! Her antics know no bounds, and this series will be more focused on her adventures.
7. Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage (Crunchyroll)
Ranking of Kings had a great reception with anime watchers when it first began streaming. This is technically a whole new series but still has the same characters. Apparently, it is a story untold that will involve Bojji, Kage and the gang of friends around them. It was unclear if this would be in any way a sequel to the events of season 1.
8. OSHI NO KO (HIDIVE)
Another new contender joins the spring 2023 anime lineup—a supernatural drama! It has a little bit of a strange, confusing premise but bear with it. It follows a countryside doctor named Gorou Amemiya, who delivers the child of a famous idol, Ai Hoshino. However, he gets killed by Ai’s stalker, and he is reborn as Ai’s child, Aquamarine Hoshino. So, now he has to help his new mom as she returns to the entertainment industry, and he has to protect her.
9. Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (Netflix)
While the Black Clover anime series ended on Crunchyroll, fans can enjoy this film finale to the series on Netflix. Initially, this was supposed to come out in March but will be coming out at the tail end of the spring, on June 16. If you have already been deep into the series, witness the end. And if you have not started the series yet and you love some awesome action, check it out on Crunchyroll.
10. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc (Crunchyroll)
This would not be a complete list of spring 2023 anime without one of the biggest anime series of our times, Demon Slayer. The adventures of Tanjiro, Nezuko and friends continue as they head to the Swordsmith Village. This is also an arc that will introduce all the Upper Rank demons. If you have not seen the most recent movie special, it showed off episode 1 of this new season. But do not worry because the show will have a 1-hour premiere, so it will give fans a lot to see whether you have seen the film or not.
This is our list of highly anticipated Best Anime Spring 2023. We know there are a lot more shows starting on top of these, but let us know which ones you are excited about!
