The 2027 anime roster is filled with a number of titans, some of which have shaped the anime landscape in the past few years, and others which are new. From the revival of classics like One Piece to the debut of fresh shonen hits, the upcoming anime lineup is brimming with potential.
With 2026 already coming to an end, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the most captivating years for anime in a while. Some of the biggest modern classics of the anime world are returning to capture viewers in 2027, and they have all the hype in their favor.
Frieren Season 3 Will Mark the Anime’s Biggest Change in Tone

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has revived the fantasy genre with its beautiful storytelling and the journey of the reflective titular elf. However, the meandering pace that Frieren has maintained so far might be shattered in season 3, as it will adapt one of the most intense arcs of the manga, the Golden Land arc.
Additionally, Frieren Season 3 will feature the most dangerous antagonist of the series so far, Macht, the strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction, who has previously defeated Frieren. The season will shift its tone to a much grittier narrative while also diving deep into Denken’s past and tragic history.
Kagurabachi Is a Fresh Shonen Anime with Unlimited Potential
Kagurabachi is the only new anime release of 2027 that has received enough hype to stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren, and other well-established series. Being adapted from the beloved manga by Takeru Hokazono, Kagurabachi is a classic shonen tale of revenge, angst, and sword-slinging action.
Kagurabachi follows Chihiro Rokuhira, whose father is murdered for Enchanted Blades, which sets Chihiro on a blood-soaked journey of vengeance. The series takes the best tropes of the dark shonen anime world and executes them with finesse, making it one of the most hyped anime of 2027.

Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc Will Introduce With New Villains and Twists
After an ultra-successful Season 1 and follow-up movie, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, Chainsaw Man is ready to receive its second season in 2027. Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc is set to adapt the International Assassins Arc of the manga, where Denji has suddenly become an international target.
Chainsaw Man Season 2 is set to be one of the most action-heavy arcs of the anime, with many new foes being introduced for Denji to face, most notably Quanxi and Santa Claus. MAPPA has already maintained a respected standard of animation with the series and, following the masterpiece movie, things should only get better.
The One Piece Remake Will Revive the Classic Shonen Anime
Despite being a masterpiece anime, One Piece often scares away newbie anime fans with its huge episode count of 1100 and continuing. However, WIT Studio’s The One Piece remake is set to change everything with its compressed version of Eiichiro Oda’s classic shonen story.
The remake version will supposedly take away all the bothersome filler, leaving the crux of the story alive and rejuvenated with modern animation techniques. The One Piece is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix in February 2027.
Lord of Mysteries Season 2 Is the Most Hyped Release Scheduled for 2027

Adapted from an acclaimed Chinese web novel, Lord of the Mysteries serves up a Victorian-era-inspired steampunk world where occult and cosmic elements coexist with advancing technology. In Season 1 of the anime, Zhou Mingrui awoke in the body of Klein Moretti, merging with his memories.
Season 2 of Lord of the Mysteries will cover the second volume of the Chinese web novel, where Klein will move back to Backlund, a place that is both safe and dangerous. The upcoming season will introduce some of the most anticipated characters in the donghua, while raising the stakes even further.
