1) Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga (Season 3)
Blue Exorcist season 3 is a Winter 2024 anime series that needs to step up its performance. The series follows the story of the son of the demon lord who fights back against his father to save Earth from his rule.
The Blue Exorcist series made its return after 7 years, and some part of its anime fandom might have forgotten about the series, which is the reason it got demoted on the popularity ranking.
2) Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki 2nd Stage (Season 2)
Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki season 2 is a Winter 2024 anime series that had a very strong start but later fell apart in the eyes of anime fandom. The series follows a gamer who tries his best every day to level up in the real world and become a worthy man.
The series follows a decent animation style (animated by studio Project no. 9) but as it is adapted from a light novel, fans have noticed a slow pace in the series now and then.
3) The Dangers of My Heart Season 2
Dangers of My Heart season 2 is one of the best Winter 2024 anime series that needs to step up its performance in regards to the pacing. The story follows an introvert who starts to experience life as he slowly starts to express his feelings for the most beautiful girl in his class.
The only reason why this show slipped two spots could be because it was overshadowed by more popular shows. There is hardly anything wrong with the series, but if it needs to step up something, making the pacing of the show more fast would be the way to go.
4) Chained Soldier
Chained Soldier is a Winter 2024 anime series that started with high hopes, despite being an Ecchi anime series. The series takes place in a supernatural world where a man survives by killing monsters to save his world.
As mentioned before, this series made it to the top 10 most popular Winter 2024 anime series despite being an Ecchi series. Even though it didn’t get demoted from the top 10 most popular Winter 2024 anime series, it still needs to step up its game.
5) Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2
Tsukimichi season 2 is a Winter 2024 anime series that although didn’t get demoted that much, still needs to step up its pacing speed. The series takes place in a supernatural world where the protagonist builds his army to get revenge on the Goddess who harassed him.
The series has sleek animation, but just like the Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki season 2, this series is also based on a light novel. This has made its pacing a bit slow for fans, for that reason it is not as appealing as other shows airing this season.
