The Spring 2021 anime season is here, a few shows have already premiered and more have yet to come. We’ve got you covered on new series and premieres here at Nicchiban.

Spring 2021 offers anime fans a smorgasbord of action, sports, and a few slice of life series. Compared to last season which featured shows like Wonder Egg Priority, Horimiya, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, and more; there’s a lot more action this season, including the return of My Hero Academia.

The synopses below are all from MyAnimeList.

Odd Taxi

Premiere: April 6th

In a city which should be familiar, there is the feeling of something a little different.

Odokawa is a taxi driver who lives an ordinary life, taxing some quirky customers around. A slightly eccentric stranger who has no relatives nor any relations with other people, Odokawa’s hobby is to listen to Rakugo on the radio before going to bed. For the time being, the only people he can consider as friends are his family doctor Gouriki, and his high school classmate Kakihana.

Kabasawa, a college student who wants a buzz, Shirakawa, a nurse who’s hiding something, comedian group Homo Sapiens, who isn’t selling well, the city hoodlum Dobu, and the rookie idol group Mystery Kiss—the conversations with these people, which should not have meant much, lead to a girl who disappeared.

The Slime Diaries: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Premiere: April 6th

“Dear diary… I got reincarnated as a slime.”

Even in another world, lives aren’t always on the line. There’s plenty of work to be done, from feeding the community and forging the items the community needs; as well as plenty of play …and hijinks throughout! Join Rimuru and friends as they kick back and enjoy their daily lives.

The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent

Premiere: April 6th

Sei, a 20-year-old office worker, is whisked away to a whole new world. Unfortunately for Sei, the ritual that summoned her—meant to produce a “Saint” who would banish the dark magic—brought two people over instead of one. And everyone prefers the second girl over Sei?! But this is just fine by Sei, who leaves the royal palace to set up shop making potions and cosmetics with her newfound magic. Business is booming, and this might not be such a bad life, after all…as long as her supposed Sainthood doesn’t come back to haunt her.
