In Anime Trending’s September 2024 community poll, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 3 ranked as Fall 2024’s most anticipated anime, just ahead of DAN DA DAN. The ranking reflects the preferences of that poll’s voters—not a universal measure of excitement or a judgment of each show’s quality.
Anime Trending’s top 12 most anticipated Fall 2024 anime
Anime Trending published its results on September 22, 2024, after polling from September 6 through September 22. Voters could select more than one title, so each percentage is a title’s share of votes, and the percentages do not have to add up to 100%.

The polls used distinct methods and metrics, and the available reports do not establish that their percentages are directly comparable. What they do share is DAN DA DAN in second place. Read Anime Corner’s Fall 2024 poll report for its results.

What this ranking measures—and what it does not
Anime Trending’s list is a pre-season community snapshot of anticipated titles, spanning returning franchises and newer series. It is not a critical ranking, an audience measure taken after episodes aired, or a prediction of which show would ultimately be the season’s favorite. Anime Trending says its Anime of the Season result was determined separately, using votes collected during the season.
Crunchyroll also announced a Fall 2024 lineup in September 2024, and its October 4 episode of The Anime Effect promoted the season and named Dragon Ball DAIMA and DAN DA DAN. That is historical lineup context; it does not establish where every title in Anime Trending’s poll could be streamed or what is available in any territory today. See Crunchyroll’s Fall 2024 lineup announcement.
