Best Unfinished Anime that Need to Return

Despite having great stories and several viewers, several anime often remain unfinished while never completely adapting their source material. This often leaves a sour taste in the mouth of fans, but nevertheless, are still great shows worth checking out. In this list, we will be taking a look at the best among the huge bunch of unfinished anime.

7. My Little Monster

Shizuku is a serious girl who cares very little about those around her and only focuses on her studies. This changes after she meets the energetic and violent Haru, a boy with a bad reputation who immediately confesses his feelings for her. Despite the two of them not knowing much about human interactions, they gradually grow closer to each other and learn to explore their emotions. 

As a series that seemed to have a lot of potential, My Little Monster was a very enjoyable love story that seemed to stop in its tracks before any significant romantic development between its protagonists.

6. Hyouka

Oreki is a normal young boy who wishes to conserve as much energy as possible and live a relaxing school life. After being pushed to join the Classics Club, he meets the bubbly Eru Chitanda, whose personality is the exact opposite of his. Along with her, he gets dragged into solving many of the school’s mysteries while also building bonds with other classmates.

Hyouka is a charming anime with stunning visuals, likable characters and an enjoyable slice of life story. With a lot of content left to adapt but no further information about a sequel since the anime originally aired in 2012, fans hold very little hope for the anime to continue.

5. Gangsta

Set in the city of Egastalum, Nicholas and Worick are handymen who act as mercenaries carrying out the dirty work for everyone from the police to the mafia. With the danger of “Twilights”, people with supernatural abilities, our protagonists’ jobs just got much harder. 

With a unique premise that is both dark and filled with action, this is a series that has been on hiatus for a long which fans can’t wait to return.

4. Noragami

Yato is a minor deity who spends his days completing odd jobs with the hopes of having several followers one day. His life unexpectedly changes when a girl named Hiyori dies to save him and her soul leaves her body. Wishing to help her return back to her form, he enlists her help as an assistant. With the pair solving all sorts of problems and getting dragged into supernatural affairs, will Yato finally be able to achieve his dream? 

Despite the manga still going on, the Noragami seems to have gone into an indefinite break with fans eagerly waiting for its return.

3. The Promised Neverland

Set in an orphanage, Emma and her friends spend their days in happiness along with their caretaker – Isabella. However, one day, they discover a shocking truth regarding their world and the fate that awaits the children of the orphanage. With a tragic ending awaiting them, our protagonists will have to come up with a plan to escape and survive. 

The Promised Neverland anime was one with infinite potential that came crashing down with its second season rushing to an ending while skipping most major arcs. Due to this, fans of the series still consider the story unfinished and hope for a remake.

2. Nana

Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu are two drastically different people with the same name who end up living in the same apartment after shifting to Tokyo. With the former being an aspiring musician and the latter being a naive girl searching for love, they will learn to support each other while being a crutch to lean on whenever one of them faces difficulty. 

As a deeply complex story with brilliantly developed characters, Shoujo fans around the world cannot wait for the return of this series.

1. Hunter x Hunter

A hunter is a person who travels the world in search of mysterious relics and monsters. Gon is a young boy who wishes to follow the steps of his father and become a hunter himself. With the challenging hunter exams and an even more challenging world lying past him, he is in for the adventure of a lifetime. 

Hunter x Hunter features amazing world-building, a memorable cast and exciting battles. As a very influential shounen anime, this is a series that broke the hearts of many viewers when it went into hiatus.
