2. The end of “Attack on Titan”
“Attack the titans”of hajime isayama, says goodbye to television with part 3 of its season 4. Although it still does not have an official date, the anime will be one of the most anticipated farewells of the year, especially due to the highly questioned ending of the manga. Will it replicate exactly or will there be any changes?
Until now, the end of “Shingeki no Kyojin” It has remained faithful to the manga, leaving the exception of the change in the moment of Mikasa’s memory about the question that Eren asked her: what it meant to her. Now that the Rumble is close to destroying everything, the closing of this story is one of the most anticipated moments of the series.
In order not to go into major spoilers, great fights are expected from the outcome, Eren’s decision, more painful deaths and truly epic moments, especially with the captain levi and the commander hange zoë. The last part of “Attack on Titan” condenses his entire proposal and poses a predictable but realistic stance.

1. Luffy’s Gear 5 in “One Piece”
For the followers of “One Piece”2023 is the year of Monkey D. Luffy’s Gear 5 animation. The great moment of Wano Kuni Arcwhich will probably be seen between April and May, will surely raise the dust of the discussion, especially due to the animation proposal that the series raises.
Why Luffy’s latest great power is not only epic but so much fun. And this last feature was a point of complaint from some followers against the mangaka Eiichiro Oda. Far from it, Luffy will manage to be at the level and even surpass kaido in a fight where he is knocked out up to four times.
The Gear 5 will also give more details about the gomu gomu fruit, like his real name, and other details that, if you haven’t seen the manga, you shouldn’t look for yet. This ability will also give rise to a new stage for Luffy in the series. With the expectation and uncertainty, the Gear 5 will undoubtedly be one of the most incredible moments of this year.
