Crunchyroll Presents 2023 Summer & Fall Anime Titles
With the comeback of fan-favorite series like “Demon Slayer”, “Dr. Stone”, and “Tonikawa”, this spring has been a lot of fun. Oshi no Ko, Hell’s Paradise, and Skip and Loafer are just a few of the new hit series that were launched. There are still a few weeks left to take in all of them.

There are a number of anime on this list that deal with rebirth. Only two of them, thankfully, will be showing up in July. The other three, especially MF GHOST, have piqued my interest more. Is it possible that it may become as popular as Initial D?
