Welcome to part two of the April installment of GGA’s monthly anime roundup for 2023, where we give you a detailed list of what anime is coming your way. This month kicks off the spring anime season and is packed with new offerings to fill your watch time. With so many new shows releasing in April, we’ve split this list into two parts. Part one covered the first week of April, and this list covers the rest of the month.
Remember that due to the Funimation/Crunchyroll merger, there is no new anime debuting on Funimation. Funimation will continue to add episodes of current shows, but the new series will air exclusively on Crunchyroll. We will miss Funimation, but as we look to the future, we have everything you should be watching here.
