10 Upcoming Anime You MUST Watch

10. EX-ARM - エクスアーム

EX-ARM has been an incredibly popular Manga series since its debut in 2015, and throughout its run, it published 14 volumes. Those volumes are getting an anime adaptation, which is set to premiere in Japan in July 2020.

Sadly, that means, it may take a little time for English subtitles, but if the show is anything like the books, it's well worth the wait. The series revolves around high school student Akira Natsume, who dies in a horrible accident.

The story continues in the year 2030, which is 16 years after the accident, a policewoman and her android partner find and activate an advanced artificial intelligence superweapon called EX-ARM. They install it into their ship as a last resort, but it turns out the AI is none other than Akira's brain!

EX-ARM concluded in August 2019, but a sequel series, Ex-Arm EX was launched the same month. There's no word yet if that will also be adapted into the anime series, but HiRock, the writer of both, is set to work on the adaptation alongside Shinya Komi who provided the artwork for the books.
