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, but there are some other great picks that should be on your watch list from the list above too.
***Devil May Cry*** is the latest animated video game adaptation from Netflix. With a trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and a new Evanescence track, it's clear that the creators understand the tone they need to set for their audience. Netflix has had a mixed track record with anime-style game IPs, ranging from hits like *Castlevania*, *Arcane*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* to misses like *Tekken: Bloodline* and *Dragon’s Dogma*. However, with creator Adi Shankar, who's behind *Castlevania* and other unique projects, and Studio Mir, known for *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and *Korra*, this adaptation promises to be a thrilling ride. Even if you're not familiar with the *Devil May Cry* world, fans of anime like *Trigun* will enjoy the adventures of the ultimate '00s edgelord, Dante.
In ***Moonrise***, the moon fights for independence, a concept that could have been a sequel to 2021's *Moonfall*. This original net animation (ONA) boasts blockbuster talent, including animation by WIT Studio (*Attack On Titan, Vinland Saga*), original character designs by Hiromu Arakawa (*Fullmetal Alchemist*), and direction by Masashi Koizuka (*Attack On Titan* Seasons 2 & 3). Despite the limited information available, the anticipation for this series is high, suggesting it might be something truly special.
Lastly, ***YAIBA: Samurai Legends*** might be lesser-known outside Japan, but it has maintained a dedicated following since its manga debuted in the late 1980s. Created by Gosho Aoyama, the mind behind *Case Closed*, this samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane in his battle against a formidable foe with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio at the helm and Aoyama's active involvement, *Yaiba: Samurai Legends* promises a mix of the humor and style of *Detective Conan* and the martial arts flair of early *Dragon Ball*, with plenty of historical Japanese cameos.
