Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
I've highlighted ***The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X***, and ***WITCH WATCH*** in my roundup of Spring 2025 anime dubs coming to Crunchyroll. However, there are several other notable picks from the list above that you should consider adding to your watch list.
***Devil May Cry*** is Netflix's latest animated video game adaptation, and with its Limp Bizkit-soundtracked trailer and a newly composed Evanescence track, it's clear the creators understand the tone they need to strike for their audience. Netflix has had a mixed track record with anime and anime-style game IPs, ranging from hits like *Castlevania*, *Arcane*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* to misses like *Tekken: Bloodline* and *Dragon’s Dogma*. Fortunately, creator Adi Shankar, known for *Castlevania*, *Guardians of Justice*, and *Captain Laserhawk*, along with Studio Mir, the team behind *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and *Korra*, are at the helm. Even if you're not familiar with the *Devil May Cry* universe, fans of anime like *Trigun* will appreciate the adventures of the quintessential '00s edgelord, Dante.
***Moonrise*** presents a unique concept where the moon fights for independence. This original net animation (ONA) boasts impressive talent, including animation by WIT Studio (*Attack On Titan, Vinland Saga*), character designs by manga icon Hiromu Arakawa (*Fullmetal Alchemist*), and direction by Masashi Koizuka (*Attack On Titan* Seasons 2 & 3). Despite the limited information available about the story, the involvement of such high-caliber creators suggests we're in for something extraordinary.
Lastly, ***YAIBA: Samurai Legends*** might be less known outside Japan or among younger audiences, but it has maintained a cult following since its manga debut in the late 1980s. Created by Gosho Aoyama, famous for *Case Closed*, this samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane as he battles an arch-nemesis with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio handling the animation and Aoyama directly involved in production, this second anime adaptation promises to blend the style of *Detective Conan* with the humor of early *Dragon Ball* and numerous Japanese historical references.
