Top 10 Upcoming Anime This Year 2025

 I’ve been waiting for these shows all year. From April onward, ten titles stand out. Some are new stories, some bring back heroes we know and like. I’ve kept things clear and friendly—no big words, just what each anime offers. Read on, pick your next watch, and let me know which one you’ll start with.

1. Fire Force Season 3 (Final Season)

This season picks up right after the big cliffhanger in Season 2. Shinra and his friends face a group of foes who use fire in strange ways.The first episode airs in early April. It moves fast, so you get straight into the action. Over about a dozen episodes, you learn more about the Fire Soldier squads and their secret ties.

I like how the show mixes serious scenes with lighter moments. You see characters joke around, then switch to tense fights. It keeps you on your toes, but never feels too heavy.

Fire force season is scheduled to premiere april 4 2025 on crunchyroll and Netflix

2. Moonrise

When: April 10, 2025

Who: Wit Studio and Netflix

What to expect:

A fight between Earth forces and Moon colonists.

Designs by Hiromu Arakawa, which give it a warm, hand‑drawn look.

The story follows two main groups. One side wants to protect people on Earth. The other side thinks life on the Moon needs its own rules. Each episode shows both points of view. You’ll meet soldiers, scientists, and civilians caught in the middle.It’s not full of giant battles.

 Instead, it focuses on small moments: a tense meeting, a quiet hope, a single choice that can change things. That makes it feel more human.18 Episodes are already on netflix and the animations are incredible so if you are a person who loves overpowered characters anime i think this is for you .It has one of the greatest fighting scenes in a military based Anime.

3. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle (Movie Trilogy)

Demon Slayer fans, get ready for three films that pick up right after Season 4.

The first movie comes out on July 18, 2025 in Japan. It covers the start of the “Infinity Castle” arc, where Tanjiro and his friends face the strongest demons yet. The second and third movies will follow, each one building on the last.

What I like here is how the story pauses between movies. You get time to think about what happened, then return for more. The art stays faithful to the manga, with clear lines and smooth motion. Ufotable keeps the fight scenes sharp but not too dark.

Each film runs around two hours. You can treat them like a short trip: one weekend for the first, another for the next. It’s a neat way to spread out the story without losing the flow.I just cant wait to see how ufotable will be cooking this anime ,I just love how they go all out sometimes you can even be confused is this anime or CGI.If you have never watched demon slayer you are really missing out 

4. Zenshu

Zenshu is an original story by MAPPA. It follows an artist who wakes up inside her own drawing.

She finds she can change the world by sketching new lines or erasing old ones. That power feels fresh. Instead of swords or spells, the hero uses art tools.

The animation looks smooth, with bright colors and clean shapes. The episodes run at a calm pace. You watch her learn the rules of this drawn world. She meets creatures that feel real, even though they came from pencil and ink.

5. Utano☆Princesama Maji LOVE Film

This one is a short film, not a series. It hits theaters on May 9, 2025.

Fans of the idol franchise will feel right at home. You see familiar faces and new songs. The plot is simple: our idols chase a new stage dream. Along the way, they face small hurdles—like choosing the right song list or dealing with stage fright.

The film runs under two hours. It keeps a friendly tone, with bright backgrounds and catchy tunes. I smiled more than once at the interactions. If you want a light watch, this is it.

6. Dandadan Season 2

Season 1 of Dandadan mixed ghosts, aliens, and high school life in a fun way. Season 2 picks up a few weeks later, in July 2025.]

You still get Momo and Okarun solving odd mysteries. One episode might have them chasing a phantom, the next could be a strange creature from another planet. The humor stays sharp, and the action scenes feel quick and clear.What I like most is how the show never takes itself too seriously. Even in a tense moment, a silly joke breaks the tension. That balance makes it easy to watch.

And i really want  to know what happens after the last episode remember the pool cliffhanger scene they left us with 

7. Spy x Family Season 3

Here’s a quick look at what’s new this fall:

Anya’s growth: She starts school again, but with new tests and rivals.

Yor’s secret: She faces a mission that might put her family at risk.

Loid’s plan: He works undercover once more, with more rules to follow.

Season 3 begins in October. Each episode mixes family scenes with spy work. You laugh at Anya’s faces, then hold your breath when Yor steps into danger. It feels like home and a thriller at the same time.

8. Witch Hat Atelier

This series brings a calm feel. No loud battles here. Instead, it shows a world of magic that needs careful study.The main character finds a book of spells and wants to learn them. She studies words and hand moves.

 Each spell has its own rule, and one small mistake can make it fail. That detail makes each lesson feel real.The art looks like a moving picture book. Soft lines, gentle colors, and small details in every scene. It’s the kind of show you watch when you want to slow down.

9. Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers

Based on the game, this anime brings fast fights to your screen.

The first episodes set up the world: a place where fighters gather for grand battles. You meet heroes and villains with unique styles. One hero uses magic, another fights with a giant sword.

The action scenes are short but clear. You see each punch, kick, and magic blast without too much blur. The show moves at a steady clip. If you like quick fights and bold designs, this one fits.

10. One Punch Man Season 3

Saitama is back, and he still ends fights with one punch. But there’s more to this season than just a quick win.

Season 3 covers the Monster Association arc. Here, heroes work in teams to face groups of foes. You see different hero ranks, from C to S class. Each hero has a moment to shine, even if Saitama ends the big fight.

I like how the show keeps the fun tone. Saitama stays laid‑back, cracking jokes when things get tense. The other heroes react to him in real time: surprise, relief, or a mix of both. It makes each scene feel natural.I just cant wait to see the fight between saitama and cosmic garou

vjrThere you have it—ten shows and films to watch from April through the end of 2025. Some bring back favorite heroes. Others start fresh with new worlds and rules.Take your time. Pick one that fits your mood: a quick film, a calm magic story, or a series full of fights. Share your thoughts with f

riends or online. Anime is best when you talk about it.

Which of these will you watch first? I’ll be tuning in, one episode at a time.
