What upcoming/recently announced series are you guys most hyped for? My list is probably something like this:

  • City The Animation, Summer 2025: Loving Nichijou right now, and I'm digging the vibrant color palette we saw in the trailers!
  • Grand Blue S2, Summer 2025
  • Frieren S2, Winter 2026
  • You And I Are Polar Opposites, Winter 2026: I'm reading through the manga, which is pretty good, but I'm curious to see how they'll adapt the admittedly basic and simple art style.
  • Bocchi the Rock S2, unknown: Bocchi's S1 really went above and beyond with all the fun animation sequences that can't be done in manga, so I'm really excited for S2.
  • Dungeon Meshi S2, unkown
  • Medalist S2, unknown: The CG for the ice skating was actually pretty good in S1, especially all the dynamic camera angles. The manga's brilliant, so I'm excited to see the next couple storylines in animation.
  • Skip And Loafer S2, unknown: Skip And Loafer quickly rose up the ranks as probably my favorite romance manga of all time, and the anime adaptation perfectly captured its charm.


I'm curious on knowing what you guys are looking forward to! Might give me some stuff to put on the Plan To Watch list :)

Right now, just Jigoku Sensei Nube. The '90s anime adaptation made me so damn jealous I never had the ability to watch it as a kid, so the idea of it coming back with a new adaptation makes me very very happy.

We're jumping to the rest of 2025 and even into 2026 now?

Presently I'm just focusing on getting started with the spring...

As in, seeing how many new spring series I'm trialing with a sample of the first episode I wish to continue with or drop straight away.

I will say though that the main prospective future anime series I'm thoroughly invested and committed to seeing through the continuation of and the ones which I'm most looking forward to and have been for a long time are Dorohedoro season 2, Arknights season 3, and Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon season 2. But dates are all uncertain and up in the air.

Witch Hat Atelier (2025)
Leviathan (2025) from Orange
Frieren S2 (Jan 2026)
Ghost in the Shell (2026) from Science SARU

@Hexis Witch Hat Atelier's definitely looking like it's gonna be one of the highlights of 2025. I've been reading it and it's absolutely stunning, so I'll probably check in on a few episodes to see how the art style's adapted. Not sure if I'll fully watch it though.

The second season of The Angel Next Door Spoils me Rotten came to mind first but I'm also looking forward quite a bit to:
Summer Pockets' (because I played the VN and loved it), the 2nd season of My Dress-Up Darling, Watanare, Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai, Roshidere 2nd season, Spice & Wolf remake 2nd season and Mayonaka Heart Tune.

Basically, as someone who likes romcoms/romances, I believe that the next few months should be fun :)

There's dozens of shows I'm going to watch over the next year... but only a handful I am genuinely looking forward to that haven't started yet (i.e., I expect to enjoy them, not that I hope they'll be good):

Lazarus looks beautiful and I love Watanabe's work. I saw GQX Beginning in theatres and loved every minute of it, looking forward to watching the first episode with a few friends next week.

  2. Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX

I used to want a 2nd season so bad but it's been so long I lost interest. I'm not sure why he won't sign off on one, I heard whisperings about plagiarism but I have no idea if that's true.

9: Ruler's Crown. 2025. The visual novel is great, wonder how it will adapt into anime

Fate/strange Fake. 2025. Pilot episode was great, can't wait for the series.

Re:Zero Season 4. Unknown. Season 3 ending was such a cliffhanger!! Need S4 ASAP.

Dungeon Meshi Season 2. Unknown. Really liked season 1 and curious of what to come next.

Mahotsukai no Yoru. Unknown. Been waiting for an adaptation since the VN released and didn't have translations, and when this movie actually announced of course I'm excited.

  • The Chainsaw Man Reze Arc Movie
  • Dandadan S2
  • Frieren S2
  • Dungeon Meshi S2
  • Witch Hat Atelier
  • Gachiakuta looks promising
  • Kaiju No. 8 S2
  • The Undead Unluck Special
  • Spy X Family S3


I'd say One Punch Man S3, but I'm not setting my expectations too high after S2 and what little they've shown of S3 thus far.

@Serafos I hope not. It's much more fun to see them gently tease each other. But then there is the question of whether or not Kobayashi will ever get a piece of tail. LOL

I am interested in so many things it's going to take too long to list them all so I am only going to make a top 20. I am not going to include any sequels as that will take up a huge amount of my list as well but the new seasons of Medalist, Mashle, Dungeon Meshi, Haikyuu, Kaiju, Frieren etc. just to name a few. Idk the release dates on some of these so they could be later than 2026 but oh well.
