Spring 2025 Anime

Witch Watch is coming to Crunchyroll.

@MahoTenshi this looks like it is licensed by Gkids and they’re also going to stream it on Netflix. Seems like Gkids strategy is any big licenses they acquire they’ll stream it everywhere

@paulchaested Indeed. Seems like it's similar to DanDaDan from last season. Maybe due to them (GKids) being acquires by Toho, certain big title might get shared between big service, but not HiDive though.
HiDive is not doing to well, even with there partnership with MBS, they don't get many things, not even the mass shared title.

Your Forma is licensed by Remow. Will likely be on Amazon, not sure about CR.

I thought I heard that Pass the Monster Meat, Milady was delayed past the spring season...

This season is looking pretty light for me, other than continuing The Apothecary Diaries. Any word yet on the streaming platform(s) for Kowloon Generic Romance or Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey?

Apparently Sentai got Yandere Elf based on a leak from an official Discord server. Probably true and not surprising.



Lazarus is streaming on Max and Your Forma is most likely Remow's Youtube channel (and maybe Amazon). CR is streaming Once Upon a Witch's Death.

According to some sources among others livechart.me Amazon Prime got Dinner Table Detective.

Sentai got Yandere Dark Elf, which is a bit of a surprise seeing that it's a show produced by WWWave, which consists mostly of ecchi short series that were never streamed on one of the usual platforms. Episodes are half-length for this series.

ADN (french and recently german streaming service) have The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All the Mysteries (only France) and Me and the Alien MuuMuu (both). There is chance CR will get both but only in United States, Canada, Oceania, Latin America and United Kingdom. Also many european anime services have Your Forma: ADN (France), aniverse (Germany), Anime Generation (Italy)

So with that update, that means these shows are left without an official announcement, not including shorts.

Miru: Paths to My Future
Princession Orchestra
Umamusume: Cinderella Gray
The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei
Hana Doll
Me and the Alien MuuMuu

While Dinner Table Detective doesn't have an official announcement, the fact that neither Crunchyroll nor HIDIVE have it at this juncture is a strong indication that it's going to be exclusive to Amazon worldwide. As for the rest, it could be a late add by Crunchyroll. In any case, that's quite a number of shows without streaming deals if that's all there is, but I don't think so.

So, where can those in the West watch Your Forma? I don't see it on It's Anime's Youtube page, or will it be put up there later?

This has just been a messy situation with Remow this season. At the very least they only picked up one or two shows and even though it wasn't ideal, at least with Amazon regaining is prominence and now getting exclusive licenses after not having one for over four years that it was workable, which is going to be the case with Cinderella Gray. But I would like to know what Remow was thinking by putting Your Forma on services that nobody knows of, and in the case of North America, it's only on Samsung TV Plus, which is a service only available on Samsung TVs and devices at this point. At least those other services you can pay a subscription fee for that, but that's not even an option here as you need to actually have a Samsung device to watch it. Remow's presence is certainly starting to become more concerning.

I think it's safe to say Dinner Table Detective is indeed worldwide for Amazon even though we still haven't had any confirmation from Amazon themselves. Apparently some people outside US and Japan are seeing the show listed on Amazon and it's seemingly streaming tomorrow even though it already aired on Japanese TV.

As for Remow... these guys are starting to remind of Daisuki. Founded and established by a bunch of Japanese industry veteran and publishers only to go defunct after few years. Same deal with Remow, and I'm getting the same kind of vibe here. The difference is Remow doesn't have their own dedicated platform like Daisuki did.

HIDIVE got the censored version of Yandere Dark Elf. It kind of figures knowing that WWWave shows have heavy duty ecchi content in them.

And in another crazy development I should mention, Amazon is now doing dubs and releasing them the same day as in Japan. But in the case of The Dinner Table Detective, that show is being dubbed in South Africa. Seems to me that Amazon uses a bidding process rather than using partnerships or in-house studios.

@GridironOtaku Isnt Amazon prime who got heavy drama regarding dubbing done by AI ? I do remember seeing that a platform was going to adopt AI dub to many series, but I can't recall ?

AS for Hidive, not getting the Uncensored version is rare, since they advertise themselves as having those kind of version.
