2. Attack on titan the final season part 3
Centuries ago, humanity was slaughtered to the brink of extinction by fearsome humanoid creatures known as the Titans, forcing humans to hide behind massive concentric walls in fear. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their hunger for human flesh is not caused by hunger, but by apparent pleasure.
To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began to live within the protective walls, which lasted a hundred years without meeting a single Titan. However, this fragile peace is soon shattered when the colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impenetrable outer wall and begin anew the battle for survival against the cannibal horrors.
After witnessing terrible personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to destroying them by joining the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that fights the ruthless humanoids beyond the protection of the walls.

Similar to how Attack on Titan went, Studio MAPPA has now passed the torch to Studio WIT to bring this epic Vinland saga to life.

While details are currently scarce, the first two official trailers for Vinland Saga Season 2 reveal that several new acquaintances will play a key role in the upcoming trials that Thorsfinn must undertake.
With clear hints of the legendary Wine Country also on the horizon, we look forward to seeing how far Thorsfinn will go on his journey. Mark your calendars because Vinland Saga Season 2 will premiere on January 9, 2023, with 24 episodes planned for this season.

6. One punch man season 3
The seemingly ordinary and impressive Saitama has a rather strange hobby: being a hero. To fulfill his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years - and lost all his hair in the process. Now Saitama is incredibly powerful so no enemy can defeat him in battle.
In fact, whatever it takes to defeat the villains on one hand has caused an unexpected problem - he can no longer enjoy the excitement of the battle and is bored. That all changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg who wants to become Saitama's disciple after seeing what he can do.
Genos suggests that the two join the Hero Society to become certified heroes, recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, upset that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees.
Thus begins the story of One Punch Man, an action comedy that follows an eccentric man who yearns to fight against powerful enemies who can hopefully give him the thrill he once had and perhaps make him popular.
