We've arrived in 2023, and with it comes the certainty of several new anime series premiering in Japan this year. As we know, only a few of these series have a better chance of success, either because they're well-known works or adaptations of popular games. This list will highlight just that.
The list aims to bring the CONTINUES AND NEW animes that are being awaited by fans in this year of 2023, so we made the list.

He is bought as a slave by Ketil, a landowner, and begins to work the lands of his estate. There, Thorfinn meets Einar, a young man who was a slave like himself. Meeting Einar forces Thorfinn to face the sins he has committed and seek meaning in his life. This is the saga of a true warrior—a saga of redemption and salvation that follows the prologue.
