Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
Among the numerous titles slated for Spring 2025, 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-watch series on Crunchyroll. However, there are several other gems worth your attention 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 that the creators understand the tone they're aiming for. Drawing from successful adaptations like *Castlevania*, *Arcane*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners*, and learning from less successful ones like *Tekken: Bloodline* and *Dragon’s Dogma*, Netflix is setting the stage for another potentially thrilling series. Adi Shankar, the creative force behind *Castlevania* and *Guardians of Justice*, along with Studio Mir, known for *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and *Korra*, bring their expertise to this project. Even if you're not a fan of the *Devil May Cry* games, the action-packed adventures of Dante should appeal to fans of anime like *Trigun*.
***Moonrise*** presents an intriguing concept of the moon seeking independence, a theme that the creators of *Moonfall* might wish they had explored. This original net animation (ONA) boasts top talent with animation from WIT Studio, character designs by Hiromu Arakawa, and direction by Masashi Koizuka. While details about the plot remain scarce, the involvement of such a stellar team suggests a high-quality production. Keep an eye out for this one on Netflix.
Lastly, ***YAIBA: Samurai Legends*** might not be well-known outside Japan or among younger audiences, but it's a beloved series by Gosho Aoyama, the creator of *Case Closed*. This samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane in his quest against a formidable foe armed with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio handling the animation and Aoyama actively involved in production, this series promises to blend the humor and action of early *Dragon Ball* with the detective intrigue of *Detective Conan*, featuring numerous historical cameos. Be sure to catch this on Netflix for a unique anime experience.
