Of the 80 anime series that will be broadcast in the fall of 2024, more than 30 are sequels. Fans who have watched the previous series look forward to this season, but keeping up with the story will be challenging if you start watching it now.
Some people may feel reluctant to catch up from the beginning. However, among the sequel anime series that will be broadcast in the fall of 2024, there are some works that you can enjoy even if you start watching this season.
“Dragon Ball DAIMA” First of all, there is “Dragon Ball DAIMA,” which has the world view of “Dragon Ball” (original work: Akira Toriyama ) and depicts new episodes. “Dragon Ball” has various episodes, such as “Dragon Ball Super” and “Dragon Ball GT”. The above episodes are difficult to understand because you need to know the original work or start watching from the beginning to understand the relationship between the characters.
However, “Dragon Ball DAIMA” is different, and the story begins immediately after the “Majin Buu Arc,” which is also popular in the original work. It’s okay even if you don’t know the contents of the “Majin Buu Saga” or only have a vague idea.
In the first episode, in a parallel world called “Great Demon World,” new characters “Goma (CV: Morikubo Shoutaro)” and “Degesu (CV: Enoki Junya )” use something like a monitor to peek at the fight against Buu on Earth and look back on famous scenes from the past.
The basic setting is explained in retrospect, so even viewers who are watching for the first time should be able to enjoy Goku and friends’ exploits. Also, because the timeline is earlier than “Super” due to Trunks’ age, it will be easy to follow even for fans who stopped watching “Z.” “Dragon Ball DAIMA” is broadcast nationwide on Fuji TV every Friday from 11:40 p.m. It is also being distributed sequentially on various video distribution services such as “Amazon Prime Video, Anime Store,” and “U-NEXT.”
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II Next up is Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II, a spin-off of the Sword Art Online series that has been six years since the previous work was broadcast in 2018. In this work, the protagonist Karen Kohiruimaki plays the role of Ren (CV: Tomori Kusunoki) in the firearms-focused game Gun Gale Online.
The previous work depicted a survival game’s first and second tournaments with a prize. In the first episode, Pitohui (CV: Yoko Hikasa), a strong opponent in the previous work, invites Ren to participate in the third tournament, and they join forces.
The story looks back on the past and introduces the characters, so you can follow it even if you watch it for the first time. Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II is broadcast every Friday from 24:00. It will also be distributed sequentially on various video sites such as ABEMA TV, Amazon Prime Video, and the Anime Store.
