Considering how successful the manga has been for Shonen Jump, Dandadan was always going to receive an anime adaptation, but the teaser trailer blew everyone's expectations out of the water.

Created by Tatsuki Fujimoto

With how extremely popular Chainsaw Man's first season was, it was guaranteed that a sequel would be in the works. Although it was assumed that a second season would be announced, Mappa surprised fans by adapting the highly anticipated Rize arc into a movie. As one of the series' best arcs, a movie will surely do it justice given how much resources are put into films and how their animation quality is also better than that in seasonal anime.

By far the most shocking and unexpected news of this year's Jump Festa was that One Piece was confirmed to receive a ground-up remake spearheaded by Netflix and animated by Wit Studio. 2023 was one of the best years for Eiichiro Oda's iconic franchise: with the live-action being a massive success, the anime's Wano arc hailed as one of the best in the franchise, and the manga approaching its most exciting arc with all the major players duking it out. This remake has the potential to rid the anime of all its problems, paving the way for One Piece to become the most popular anime of all time.
