Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
Among the exciting new releases, I've highlighted The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X, and WITCH WATCH as must-watches on Crunchyroll. Here are some additional recommendations from the list above that you should definitely check out.
Devil May Cry is Netflix's latest animated venture into the world of video games, and it looks set to capture the hearts of fans with its edgy tone, as showcased in the trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and Evanescence. With Adi Shankar, the mind behind Castlevania and Guardians of Justice, at the helm and Studio Mir, known for Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra, handling the animation, this series promises to be a thrilling ride even for those unfamiliar with the Devil May Cry games. If you enjoy anime like Trigun, you'll find Dante's mercenary escapades highly engaging.
In Moonrise, the moon is on a quest for independence, a concept that could have been a blockbuster sequel to Moonfall. With top-tier talent involved, including WIT Studio, Hiromu Arakawa's character designs, and Masashi Koizuka's direction, this ONA is poised to be a standout. Despite the scarcity of plot details, the anticipation is high for a unique and captivating story.
Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends brings back the beloved manga by Gosho Aoyama, creator of Case Closed. This samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane in his battle against a formidable foe. With WIT Studio's animation and Aoyama's involvement in production, fans of Detective Conan and the lighthearted martial arts of early Dragon Ball will find this series both nostalgic and refreshing.
