As fans eagerly anticipate the release of these new series, discussions and speculations about their plots, characters, and themes are already underway on social media platforms. The buzz surrounding titles like "My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s" and "This Monster Wants to Eat Me" reflects the active engagement of the anime community and their excitement for upcoming content.
