Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
Among the many titles releasing this season, several stand out as must-watches:
- The Apothecary Diaries
- Once Upon A Witch’s Death
- The Beginning After The End
- To Be Hero X
- WITCH WATCH
Additionally, Devil May Cry arrives as Netflix's latest video game adaptation. With a trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and a new Evanescence track, it promises to capture the edgy, action-packed tone fans expect. Developed by Studio Mir—known for Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra—and overseen by Adi Shankar (Castlevania, Guardians of Justice), this could be one of the more stylish and faithful anime-style adaptations yet.
Another standout is Moonrise, an ONA produced by WIT Studio (Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga) with character designs by none other than Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist). Directed by Masashi Koizuka, this mysterious lunar-themed story has been shrouded in secrecy since its original 2024 announcement. While details are scarce, the talent involved suggests something truly unique.
Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends marks a return of Gosho Aoyama’s classic manga, best known for Detective Conan. Following young swordsman Yaiba Kurogane in his battle against a demon-wielding rival, this new anime adaptation is helmed by WIT Studio and features direct input from Aoyama himself. If you enjoy Detective Conan but crave more action and historical flair, this series blends samurai drama with lighthearted martial arts comedy in a way that echoes early Dragon Ball.
Whether you're diving into epic sagas like One Piece, checking out fresh takes like Devil May Cry, or rediscovering cult classics like YAIBA, Spring 2025 offers a rich variety of anime content across Crunchyroll and Netflix. Make sure to mark your calendar and set those reminders—it’s going to be a great season!
