Solo Leveling – This one has been highly anticipated, especially since the webtoon was so popular. The premise of leveling up in a game-like world with epic fight sequences seems like it's going to translate really well into anime form. If the animation quality and pacing hold up, it might indeed be one of the biggest titles of the year, especially given the global fanbase it has already amassed.
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic – This sounds like a refreshing twist on the isekai genre. Healing magic usually isn't the focus of combat, so the way it's used here could add a lot of comedic and strategic elements. It definitely has the potential to be a standout, especially if it blends humor and action well.
The Witch and the Beast – I agree with you here. It has strong potential to become a mainstream hit, especially with its darker, grittier tone. If it captures the same aesthetic and emotional intensity that popular series like Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan have, it could very well become a fan favorite.
Fluffy Paradise – This one seems like a wholesome escape! Shows like this often balance a lineup, giving viewers something light-hearted and feel-good. Plus, "cute" anime can build dedicated fanbases just from their charm, so this could end up as a sleeper hit.
A Sign of Affection – I haven't seen this one yet, but if you're into romance and slice-of-life, this sounds like a strong entry. It deals with hearing impairment, so it might offer a more emotional and nuanced story that focuses on relationships and personal growth, which can resonate deeply with audiences.
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil – This one sounds like it could be a wild ride, mixing comedy and fantasy elements with potential romance. If it balances humor and plot well, it could attract fans who enjoy quirky supernatural dynamics.
Overall, your list spans a variety of genres, which is a good way to keep your anime experience fresh! I've heard of most of these titles, though some, like A Sign of Affection and Fluffy Paradise, might be newer to mainstream attention.
I haven't gotten around to watching all of these yet, but based on what you've shared, I'd say Solo Leveling and The Witch and the Beast are the most likely to reach mainstream popularity :DD
