A futuristic city where body morphism is as natural as putting on nail polish and a dystopia of technologically obsessed, CyberPunk has quite an interesting storyline if the initial leaks are anything to go by.

Granted that the game had quite a few glitches and was not so well received by the public as probably the creators would have wanted to, do not judge this series by the game and definitely give it a try once it comes out.

There has been a lot of anime series where a modern protagonist is transported to a medieval period and has to adjust according to the new way of life. However, what if the complete opposite happens? What if a figure from the past is brought into the modern world?

Release Date- TBA

Even if we’re not movie geeks, Pacific Rim is surely a title that has stuck around more than we expected it to. And for a good reason. Giant robots operated by humans battling extra-terrestrials? Now, who wouldn’t want that? This one’s going to be unique with a kaiju rising from the shores of Australia and a teenage boy Taylor, along with his sister, embarking on a search for their parents.

Given that the last Pacific Rim movie was not such a massive hit, it is a tactical decision by Polygon Pictures to extend the universe into an anime series. This is a series one from which we can expect massive action sequences with an interesting plotline.

10) Dota: Dragon’s Blood-

Release Date- TBA

Let’s face it. DOTA 1 was not such a massive hit, and its series, despite having its moments, lacked a bit in plot and character development. So when Studio Mir decided to extend it into a new season, it probably came as a surprise for many. Granted that this anime was not what we expected from the hugely popular gaming franchise, maybe we’ve judged it too harshly, and it deserves a second chance.

11) Record of Ragnarok (Season 2) –

Release Date- TBA

This is one anime series we could not get enough of. The best of Gods against the best of mortals? Well, that’s a definitive ticket seller.

When divinity and mortality go head to head in a battle to determine the future of humanity, these 1v1 battles are really something. Packed with jaw-dropping action sequences and extraordinary character development, and with serval more battles to be fought, no doubt that it has been renewed for a new season.
