As Spring 2024 has ended, the Summer 2024 anime lineup is now underway. As always, the season contains over 40 shows, including newcomers and a few notable sequels. While not as stacked as its immediate predecessor, Summer 2024 has quite a few big names like [Oshi no Ko], Tower of God, Fairy Tail, Monogatari, and Suicide Squad Isekai.
If someone would like to watch every 2024 Summer anime, they will need to pick up a bunch of streaming service subscriptions; even then, they will almost certainly miss out on a few shows that will not be available on North American platforms. To simplify the process as much as possible, here are all the Summer anime 2024 lineups for Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Hulu, and a few other names.
The following information is accurate as of July 2, 2024, and focuses solely on North America. Moving forward, the data will be updated as necessary.
Crunchyroll has announced two more Summer 2024 anime: My Wife Has No Emotion and My Deer Friend Nokotan.
Crunchyroll has announced its Summer 2024 anime, with more than 25 shows confirmed to be streaming on the service. And, the lineup is far from complete and will likely welcome a few more series in the lead-up to the quarter's full launch. Along with Spring 2024 continuations such as My Hero Academia and That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime, Crunchyroll's Summer 2024 anime lineup contains Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season, Senpai is an Otokonoko, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Mayonaka Punch, and NieR:Automata Ver1.1a Part 2. So far, the selection has quite a bit of variety, despite leaning quite a bit into romance territory.
Overall, Summer 2024 is probably not as exciting as its predecessor, but the season nevertheless has its share of potentially fun shows, many of which can be viewed with a Crunchyroll subscription. Variety is also the spice of life in this case. For instance, romance fans can check out Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Days with My Stepsister, and Love Is Indivisible by Twins. Meanwhile, the isekai theme is covered by series like A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring, No Longer Allowed in Another World, Quality Assurance in Another World, and The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human.
Crunchyroll even has its share of comedies thanks to VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream, My Deer Friend Nokotan, and Mayonaka Punch. Sci-fi is represented by NieR:Automata Ver1.1a, while non-isekai fantasy is covered by Tower of God Season 2, Wistoria: Wand and Sword, The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible, and Bye Bye, Earth. There is even a Boys Love anime called Twilight Out of Focus, along with a rare high-stakes game story courtesy of Tasuketsu -Fate of the Majority-.

HIDIVE cannot compete with Crunchyroll in terms of quantity, so quality is the only way to go. Unquestionably the biggest show of Summer 2024, [Oshi no Ko] Season 2 is a HIDIVE exclusive, just like its predecessor. The first season was both popular and highly regarded, and the follow-up should be just as good.
Moving away from that sequel, HIDIVE's Summer 2024 anime lineup features a few more confirmed series, nearly all of which focus on fantasy. Plus-Sized Elf will likely be an acquired taste, but Dungeon People seems like it could be a fun twist on the fantasy genre. I Parry Everything could be a typical "zero to hero" story, and 2.5 Dimensional Seduction should offer a mix of humor and fanservice.

From battle shonen shows to philosophical adventure series, these are the best HIDIVE anime across multiple genres.
While general streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and Max do not prioritize seasonal shows, they occasionally have a couple of exclusives. Hulu and Max will be showing Suicide Squad Isekai, arguably the strangest series of Summer 2024. Still, it should be entertaining. Hulu also has three Spring 2024 leftovers, and they are all pretty solid.
Netflix has things set for an exciting August 2024, with Kengan Ashura Season 2 Part 2 and Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You Season 3 supposedly dropping during this period. The former has been constantly awesome, while the latter has been coming for more than a decade. Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc is also streaming on Netflix.

While not lacking in movies, Max has very few anime shows. Still, Warner Bros' streaming service has some good stuff.
Without fail, every anime season has a couple of series that stay away from North American streaming services. Summer 2024 is unlikely to be an expectation, and a lot of its shows are currently without homes. Now, to be clear, some of these anime will announce platforms over the coming weeks, so anyone interested in watching Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest or The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies should not give up hope.
