Best New Anime Series Premiering January 2022

The final stretch of 2021’s seasonal anime lineup still has a few gems to give for avid fans. With many great titles already available now through streaming services, fans still have something to look forward to as there are a few anime shows that are yet to go on-air.

Here are five of the best upcoming anime to round up the Winter 2021 lineup.

“Koroshi Ai”

For those who are looking for a more mature take on the action-romance genre, “Koroshi Ai,” or “Love of Kill” in English, is a story about a notorious hitman trying to find love in his line of work.

Though the premise might sound silly, “Koroshi Ai” takes itself seriously. Expect to see a fair amount of blood and violence as well as a mildly obsessive infatuation that hides a deep and intricate web of intrigue beneath the faces of the main characters.

“Teasing Master Takagi-san Season 3”

If romance mixed with seinen violence is too much to bear, “Teasing Master Takagi-san” might be the better show to watch. This incredibly wholesome anime is bound to return this coming January for its third season, giving viewers more of the adorable relationship between the stubborn Nishikata and the eponymous Takagi.

“My Dress-Up Darling”

While spending time alone in the home economics room after class, introverted Hina doll artist Wakana Gojou is suddenly interrupted by Kitagawa Marin, the boisterous beauty of the school, with one request in mind: help her with her cosplay hobby.

“My Dress-Up Darling” is a high school romantic comedy that delves into the wonderful world of cosplay, featuring lovable characters, relatable events and a few risqué moments that’s perfect for fans of the genre.

“Attack On Titan Final Season Part 2”

The grand finale of “Attack On Titan” will air this coming January and finally bring the saga of Eren Yeager to an end. Unravel the secrets behind the Titans and witness Studio MAPPA as they go all-out for the ending of this beloved series.

“The Case Study Of Vanitas Part 2”

The second season of “Vanitas No Karte” will pick up directly where the first one left off. The story will mark the beginning of the Beast arc and will delve deeper into the history of Jeanne, her family and the shady August Ruthven’s involvement in vampire politics.
