What was the first anime you watched in 2025?
For me, it was Dragon Ball Daima. How about you?

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte.

Which I can already say will probably end up as my favorite of the winter season, at least among new non-returning/continuing series, or maybe just favorite of the season in general.

Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season (2024)

Monogatari is back with a venegance. Including production hell showing in shaky release schedule, missing OPs to be added later (I hope) and incomplete coverage of the novel material. Shaft being Shaft. The stories and visuals, however, are up there with Bake and 2nd Season, instantly made my top 3 of the franchise, as did the Nademonogatari arc for arcs. In the MAL ranking lists the show is buried in the ONA section, so it was a bit overlooked.

The first episode I watched was of Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku. The first anime I completed regardless of whether or not all episodes were watched within the year was the same.

However, the first anime I completed with all episodes watched of within the year was Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau.

Continue watching Genshiken, or Genshiken 2, to be more precise.


I watched the first season last year in December and really liked it, so I decided to continue the series this year with its second season. Surprisingly, it got even better in my opinion. Currently, I'm on the third season, and I'm even considering it to become one of my favorite anime. It's pretty mundane and has a nostalgic feeling to it just watching a group of friends sharing similar hobbies and interests. 2025 started off strong for me.

I was watching the first episode of The Vision of Escaflowne with a friend of mine, who has celebrated the new year with me. I don't think we're ever going to continue watching it together, because he's rarely visiting me and he didn't seem to like it much.

The first anime I'm watching on my own this year is Maison Ikkoku.

...if the past is any guide then that level of psychedelic horror whimsy seems an entirely appropriate way to start the new year in the eternal Now Times.
