Episodes released so far – 12
The sixth season of My Hero Academia was technically released in Fall 2022, but it still qualifies for the Winter 2023 line-up since it’s still ongoing.
My Hero Academia’s sixth season might be the most epic season out of all the previous seasons, since it covers the Paranormal Liberation War Arc. The showdown between an army of villains led by an ‘evolved’ Shigaraki and some top heroes of the series will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.
2Blue Lock

Release date – 9 October 2022

Blue Lock was a part of the Fall 2022 line-up as well, but it’s still ongoing and will finish airing in Winter 2023.
Soccer is a team sport, but Blue Lock twists all the sportsmanship and team spirit ideals by pitting 100 gifted strikers against each other in an enclosed facility. This unique take on sports gives Blue Lock a Squid Games-like vibe, making the series one of the most entertaining sports anime of the season.
3Vinland Saga Season 2
Studio – MAPPA
Release date – 10 January 2023
MAPPA is coming back with yet another legendary title after Chainsaw Man.
The first season was emotionally charged, and we witnessed the huge character development in Thorfinn. The Vengeful Thorfinn inside him dies after he witnesses Askelaad’s death, which turns him into an empty husk without a sense of purpose.
The second season will cover the Ketil’s Farm arc, as Thorfinn is enslaved for attacking Canute, the new king.

Release date – 19 January 2023

6 Tomo-chan Is a Girl!
Studio – Lay-duce

The second cour will focus on the events that occur after Bell and Ryuu get trapped with White Palace’s 37th floor.
