What anime releases are you most excited about in 2025?
My Sugesstions Are there any upcoming series you think will become classics or redefine certain genres?
What are some hidden gems from recent seasons that flew under the radar but are totally worth watching?

So far if I had to decide
Villainess Beurocrat
Shangri la s2
Kinikkuman s5
Kuroiwa Medaka

I mainly chose them because they were solid each week.

Tongari Boushi no Atelier
Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku
Guimi Zhi Zhu

I didn't read any of them, but from what I heard they're the upcoming anime adaptations with the highest potential.

@perseii my thread as well XD.

@danielbrown8998

But yeah for me it be Gquuux,



It just looks so good, and with Anno involved it'll at least be visually stunning for the mecha fights.

Strange Fake



I'm a fate fan so it's gonna be on my most anticipated list

Madoka Magica



and One Punch Man Season 3. Don't know why I missed this one last time, but yeah last season got me excited for what gonna happen for this season.



Finally Hathaway Flash 2, no trailers but if the first one anything to go off its gonna be great.

For me, it's:

-City The Animation: I'm excited to finally get more Nichijou-style humor

-Go For It, Nakamura!: I'm not usually a yaoi fan, but I've heard this series is extremely cute and funny. I also love the retro art syle.

-Gundam Gquuuuux: I'm going to watch the preview movie today! There are so many brilliant writers working on this show, and although I'm not the biggest Gundam head ever or anything, even I know that it's almost guaranteed to be a banger

-Lazarus: It has the potential to have some of the best action animation this year.

-Madoka Magica Walpurgisnacht Rising: bro I've been waiting so long for this

-Witch Hat Atelier: The manga for this is absolutely beautiful, and I hope the anime ends up being just as stunning

I'm mostly hyped for sequels

New stuff i'm quite curious about Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu

and gotta try Witch Watch since it'll be my birthday anime for this year :3

Gachiakuta if it gets a great adaptation might have the potential to do so, i'm reading the manga and loving every minute of it and the breathtaking art

So far... nothing

S-rank started of cute then turned to utter shit

Medalist was horrendous

and Sakamoto Days didn't in any way live up to the hype

2025 is off to a just as shitty start as 2024

The last anime i was truely impressed by and didn't drop off in later eps was Apothecary Diaries all the way back in fall 2023, and that was acconpanied by another great Frieren

Just saw the preview movie for Gundam GQuuuuuX at the cinema and it was absolute cinema! Definitely my #1 must watch for 2025 and looking forward to see where the story goes.
