| Since 2025 is coming to an end in 2-3 weeks, what were your favorite anime from this year? You can do it however you want, whether it be top 10, ranking them all, or ranking by season. I will do top 10 but this was a hard list, I may edit sooner or later. 1. Gachiakuta 2. Apothecary Diaries Season 2 3. Dandadan Season 2 4. Dr. Stone: Science Future 5. Ranma 1/2 (2024) Season 2 6. My Dress Up Darling Season 2 7. Sakamoto Days 8. SPY X FAMILY Season 2 9. Lazarus 10. Tougen Anki |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| 1. Beurocrat to Villainess 2. Grand Blue s2 3. Makina san It was an ok year. Not the strongest exactly. |
 |
| A very good year overall. Besides winter which was an off season for me, spring and summer had a lot of things to watch and fall isn't bad either. 1.Apocalypse Hotel 2.Hikanatsu 3.Gachiakuta 4.Chainsaw Man Movie:Reze Arc 5.Sanda 6.Dekin no Mogura 7.City the Animation 8.Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 9.Mono 10.cocoon: Aru Natsu no Shoujo-tachi Yori |
| I'm just going to copy this from the last thread that asked this :JosukeLaugh: --- 10/10 --- The Summer Hikaru Died --- 9/10 --- Medalist Chainsaw Man - Reze Arc --- 8/10 --- Witch Watch Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 Panty and Stocking S2 Apothecary Diaries S2 Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (cour 1) --- 7/10 --- Lazarus 100 GFs S2 Fwiw, there are a few Fall seasonals (Ranma, Sanda, maybe SxF although I'm waiting for that one to finish, CinGray cour 2, Yano-kun) which could all potentially hit this list (not to mention shows like Orb, Mikadono, and Summer Pockets I'm trying to catch up on this month) but this is my current list, ranked from top to bottom EDIT: Unless Summer Pockets or 100 Meters blow me away (I'm 10 episodes into SumPock and I have a feeling it's not cracking the top 10 although maybe Tsumugi will just be A Bad Arc... I'm not even sure I'll have enough time to get to Mikadono at this point), I have a strong feeling this is how the list will end up: --- 10/10 --- The Summer Hikaru Died --- 9/10 --- Medalist Chainsaw Man - Reze Arc --- 8/10 --- Sanda Ranma 1/2 (2024) S2 Witch Watch Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 Panty and Stocking S2 Apothecary Diaries S2 Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (tbh the cours are about equal to me. I guess I can remember more of cour 2 but is that an accomplishment when cour 2 just finished) Yano-kun kinda landed with a thud (not BAD but not great), This Monster sucked all the way through, Undead Unluck - Winter Arc was unfortunately just kinda eh, ditto for Cocoon, and Orb never really recovered after transitioning to Chapter Three and it only got worse from there Spy x Family S3 technically isn't done but so far (read: 12/13 episodes so pretty fucking far), it's the worst of the 3 seasons. Not bad by any means but it's got a big fat 7 in its future and 7 isn't good enough for the list. |

Do you mean “Actual Best” by MAL ratings?
| @Fukoku yes and no, i meant that they are objectively the best and opposed to my subjective best. |
| TO BE HERO X Dandadan was more fun, and the Chainsaw man movie was spectacular. |
| Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars. I've never even seen an eagle. |
| Here's what I rated 9 this year (sadly no 10s), in no particular order: My Dress Up Darling S2 Medalist Chainsaw Man Reze Yofukashi No Uta S2 Rent-a-Girlfriend S4 Silent Witch Apocalypse Hotel Ruri no Houseki Shoushimin Series S2 Fujimoto Tatsuki 17-26 Spy x Family S3* Shuumatsu Touring* Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru* *airing so rating subject to change |
| 1. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Season 2 2. Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru 3. Ore dake Level Up na Ken Season 2: Arise from the Shadow 4. Enen no Shouboutai: San no Shou 5. Spy x Family Season 3 6. Dandadan 2nd Season 7. Nukitashi the Animation 8. Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 9. Kakushite! Makina-san!! 10. Isekai Quartet 3 No 10s, one 9. Certainly not the best year of anime for me. |
| Standout anime from this year for me. It's been a good but not amazing year. Solid. Apothecary diaries My happy marriage s2 Dandadan s2 Anne Shirley Lord of Mysteries The Summer Hikaru Died The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Kowloon Generic romance City the Animation |

| Haven't watched many anime from this year but the Demon slayer movie was the best anime experience I have ever had and its hard for any anime to top it this year. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| In line with consistent policy on my part, not going to include any series which began in any previous year prior to 2025 and either ran continuously into 2025 or returned with a new season in 2025. If I were, then my favorite entries to the anime-verse as a whole this year would be Arknights season 3, The Apothecary Diaries season 2, and Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon season 2. Probably in that order. Also not including films as I don't like mixing them in the same lists with series and when it comes to anime I have in the past watched and actively still watching many and multiple times more series than I do of them, so don't want to muddy the waters by introducing that element (incidentally, I don't believe I've even watched any this year which were released this year - still waiting on an adequate subbed version of the fourth entry in the Princess Principal Crown Handler film series, which was originally released all the way back in May). I do create rankings of series from each and every individual season I watch them from, but sometimes if I have fewer than 10 for a season or just at 10 or over but very close like 11, 12, 13, I may even shorten it to a Top 5, or not, but the Top 10 sometimes feels a little meaningless when there are only 10 or 11 series watched and so every title or almost every title has to be included. I could post my ranking of each set from each season, but since this isn't a year where I either watched an extraordinary abundance of seasonals from each season compared to some years and seasons from other years, and because I found the year as a whole comparatively a little lacking and weaker than 2024 and 2023 (better than 2022 though) in terms of the amount and variety of series I watched and rated well as well as my individual top favorite choices from this year compared to those, I think for now I'll just make it a total Top 10 for the year as a whole and give an honorable mention to some close call ones. Maybe in the future if I end up watching more series released from this year I'll feel like I have enough to want a definitive Top 10 from each season. 1.) Tasokare Hotel 2.) Ruri no Houseki 3.) Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte 4.) Sorairo Utility 5.) Gnosia 6.) Kowloon Generic Romance 7.) Kijin Gentoushou 8.) Apocalypse Hotel 9.) Ballpark de Tsukamaete! 10.) Debu to Love to Ayamachi to! Runners-up/honorable mentions: See You Tomorrow at the Food Court, Leviathan, Uchuujin Muumuu, Shabake, Fermat no Ryouri, and A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace. Notes: *List, as always, subject to change and future revision as some series, like two on my Top 10 list, are still airing, some series I'm behind on, or I made a note of for later but have yet to get around to starting yet. *All titles on the list are or likely will be (for those still airing) rated 7/10 by me - no 8/10s or higher as my last one from a seasonal was AI no Idenshi in and from 2023. *As of now, Tasokare Hotel and Ruri no Houseki were the only two series I selected to be set aside as potential entries and contenders for my building and ongoing long-term project of a Top 50 of the 2020s Decade list construction - Last year, for comparison, I had triple that amount with six titles deemed fit for selection - T.P BON, The Fable, Girls Band Cry, Dungeon Meshi, Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai, and Raise wa Tanin ga Ii; the year before of 2023, five titles) *Still need to get around to starting/trying Takopii no Genzai, Necronomico no Cosmic Horror Show, Witch Watch, Wandance, Sanda, Lord of Mysteries, and Wei Miao Rensheng. Behind on Uchuujin Muumuu, 9: Ruler's Crown (can finish at any time really, as have only two episodes left, but this has been a rather weak series), Summer Pockets, Hotel Inhumans, Shirohiyo - Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother with Memories from My Past Life (this series could even make the top list as I only got three episodes in before I realized that I should probably prioritize finishing other stuff first - I probably wouldn't be behind on it if I had watched it as a seasonal when it aired in spring, but only tried it in October), Let's Play, and Ninja to Gokudou. Maybe there are even some titles (of prospective watches) which eluded my notice. |

| Good question. This year was rich in many great anime. If I were to name a few of them I consider the best, according to my specific taste and all, then these shows come to mind first (random order): Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 2 Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Shikabane no Yuusha Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie 1: Mugenjou-hen - Akaza Sairai Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 2nd Season Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Season 2 Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai Shuumatsu no Walküre III |

@tchitchouan I didn't watch takamine but I saw some scenes and I'm quite dissapointed with the adaptation. Her ass was designed pretty weird.
| @AuraStealeer yes her ass was weirdly shaped, but i'm not focused as much on the shape of the ass as i am on simply seeing women's asses in anime. |
| Apocalypse Hotel was the anime of the year for me personally. Objectively speaking, though, the best anime of 2025 was probably Takopi's Original Sin. To Be Hero X takes third place either way. |
| Far as a Top 5 for what I seen through this year: 1. Anne Shirley 2. Kowloon Generic Romance 3. The Apothecary Diaries (Season 2) 4. My Dress-Up Darling (Season 2) 5. Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus |
| 1) Solo Leveling season 2 2) The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity 3) A Star Brighter Than the Sun |
| My Favorite 5 Sequels/Remakes/Spin-offs 2025 1. My Hero Academia Final Season 2. Dandadan season 2 3. Umamusume Cinderella Gray (combining both cours since they aired 2025) 4. Apothecary Diaries season 2 5. Solo Leveling season 2 My Favorite 5 New Anime 2025 1. Takopi’s Original Sin 2. Kowloon Generic Romance 3. Medalist 4. Food for the Soul 5. A Ninja & An Assassin Under One Roof I still need to check out Sanda |

| Giving 10 or more things when being asked to list ''the best stuff'' in a year is a joke. You can't have more than 3 things as the best in a single year, that would be a worthless list and you have no standard. |
