Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
In addition to spotlighting The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X, and WITCH WATCH, there are other gems worth considering from the list above.
Devil May Cry is Netflix's latest venture into animated video game adaptations. With a trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and a new Evanescence track, it's clear the creators are aiming for a specific vibe that should resonate with fans of similar adaptations like Castlevania and Arcane. Adi Shankar, known for Castlevania and Guardians of Justice, along with Studio Mir, who animated Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra, are behind this project. Even those unfamiliar with the Devil May Cry franchise might enjoy the adventures of the edgy protagonist Dante, reminiscent of Trigun.
Moonrise offers a unique premise with the moon seeking independence. This original net animation boasts an impressive team, including WIT Studio, known for Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, character designs by Hiromu Arakawa of Fullmetal Alchemist fame, and direction by Masashi Koizuka from Attack on Titan. Despite the limited information available, the talent involved suggests a promising series.
Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends brings back a classic series from the late 1980s, created by Gosho Aoyama, famous for Case Closed. This samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane's battle against a formidable foe with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio at the helm and Aoyama's direct involvement, this adaptation promises to blend the humor of early Dragon Ball with the intrigue of Detective Conan, complete with historical Japanese cameos.
These titles are sure to make the Spring 2025 season a memorable one for anime enthusiasts on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
