Anime to watch this weekend

If you haven't heard of The New Gate by now, allow us to introduce you to an anime that is sure to keep you entertained from sun up to sundown!

The New Gate tells a story about a society of people who are transported into a very difficult video game where survival is paramount. Where others quiver in fear of taking a stand, Shin rises to the occasion to beat the game and provide everyone with a way of getting out of the simulation. But just as he thinks he's finally about to escape from the nightmare, he gets sent into a brand-new journey with even more trials and tribulations.

Check out the official trailer for the action-packed 2024 release below!

After you finish checking out this anime, here are a few more titles worth catching up with this weekend:

• Dungeon Meshi - Netflix
• Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 3 - Crunchyroll

Lastly, we invite you to check out Wind Breaker, as it's one of those series that we believe everyone should check out before the Spring 2024 anime season is over!

The shounen series follows the life of Sakura, a boy determined to become number one at his new school. He's in for a rude awakening, however, since the boys at this school already have a leader that they love dearly. What's more, with Sakura having multiple people being far ahead of him in terms of physical prowess, he realizes he has a lot to learn before achieving his goal.

If this sounds intriguing to you, just wait until you see the trailer!
