Do you smell that? A potent aroma laced with anticipation and with hints of nostalgia is on the horizon. That alluring scent that consumes the senses and makes the mouth water with expectation for the blooming fruit that the future will hold. Several anime sequels, spin-offs and continuations are upon us – so let’s talk about them.
With Berserk currently airing, there is still a lot to look forward to when it comes to anime continuations. With over 10 sequels and spin-offs confirmed for this year alone, chances are that one of your favorite shows is getting a much-deserved extra season, movie, or OVA. Here’s some of the most anticipated.
1. Owarimonogatari 2nd Season 2y404g

Ready for more superb art direction, fan service, and enough word porn to shake a metaphorical stick at? Ougi Oshino respectfully. Expect this sometime this summer 2017.
2. FLCL 2 o2j1l
In a surprise announcement sixteen years in the making, Toonami publicized that it will be co-producing two more seasons of The Pillows provide to the new series?
3. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection 20191e

Taking place several years after the end of the second season, last we left Code Geass everything was wrapped up neatly for better and for worse with only a few questions remaining. Apparently, that's no reason to not continue. With little information on the direction or plot as of publication, all we have is the lingering hype of having another season announced. Unfortunately, it may be a while, since the series is set to air after the three recap movies are released.
4. Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory 164f
It’s been about 12 years since angle in the season set to air sometime soon. Hopefully, they’ll manage to include high-school-hi-jinks somewhere in there too.
5. ReLIFE Kanketsu-Hen 3c3h25

Speaking of high-school-hi-jinks… ReLIFE is set to have another four episodes sometime in March 2018. ReLIFE takes place in a world where a special program sends disillusioned adults back to high school in an attempt to boost their self-esteem and reintroduce them into the working world. While sending a full-grown adult back to high school would be quite jarring, the show instead takes the sci-fi route and introduces a drug that regresses adults back to their high school selves. Kanketsu-Hen (final arc), as its name implies, is set to conclude the series, and hopefully determine if the program is a success. Let’s be honest though, what’s most important is if there will be some conclusion to the budding romance between the main character, Chizuru Hishiro.
6. Steins;Gate 0 3h654h
This interquel to Kurisu. She soon introduces him to a device that can store the memories of a person and create an artificial intelligence based off of them. Upon interacting with the machine and the AI inside, it brings back painful memories from Okabe's past.
El Psy Congoroo.
7. Prologue - Sakura to Futatsu no Kuma 6z3m5k

Almost 20 years later and we still cannot get enough about our favorite Clamp magical girl. The original Sakura mature through magical fights with the Clow Cards and this direct sequel seems to play off of that nostalgia. Vivid colors, fanciful music and clear emotion are present in the prologue OVA that will be released on September 13, 2017. Hopefully, holding us over until the series is released in earnest early next year.
8. One Punch Man 2 622s3y
ONE PUNCH!!!! Alright, now that it’s out of my system, the wildly acclaimed and Genos as the former continues his hobby of being a hero… even if it’s his official job now. Expect shounen parody and Saitama to dispatch each villain with a single punch later this year.
9. Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel Trilogy y34f

In an effort to not make this list completely about Fate/Stay Night and its many sequels, more movies to round off the trilogy.
