Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations

I’ve highlighted The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X, and WITCH WATCH in my roundup of Spring 2025 anime dubs coming to Crunchyroll. However, there are several other noteworthy picks from the list above that deserve your attention.

Devil May Cry is Netflix's latest animated adaptation of a video game, and with its Limp Bizkit-soundtracked trailer and a newly composed Evanescence track, it's clear the creators understand the tone they need to strike for their audience. Netflix has had a mixed track record with anime and anime-style game IPs, ranging from hits like Castlevania, Arcane, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to misses like Tekken: Bloodline and Dragon’s Dogma. Fortunately, creator Adi Shankar, known for Castlevania, Guardians of Justice, and Captain Laserhawk, along with Studio Mir, the team behind Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra, are at the helm. Even if you're not familiar with the Devil May Cry universe, fans of anime like Trigun will enjoy the adventures of the quintessential '00s edgelord, Dante.

In Moonrise, the moon is fighting for independence, a concept that the creators of 2021's Moonfall might wish they had thought of for a sequel. This original net animation (ONA) boasts blockbuster talent, including animation by WIT Studio (Attack On Titan, Vinland Saga), original character designs by manga icon Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist), and direction by Masashi Koizuka (Attack On Titan Seasons 2 & 3). Despite the limited information available about the story, which was originally slated for release in 2024, the secrecy suggests something special is in store.

Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends might be unfamiliar to those outside Japan or younger audiences, but it has maintained a cult following since its manga debut in the late 1980s. Created by the renowned Gosho Aoyama, known for Case Closed, this samurai comedy series follows Yaiba Kurogane as he battles an arch-nemesis armed with a magical katana and a demon army. WIT Studio is behind this second anime adaptation, following a year-long TV run in the early '90s, and Aoyama is actively involved in production. If you enjoy the style and humor of Detective Conan mixed with the martial arts antics of early Dragon Ball and a host of Japanese historical cameos, this series is a must-watch.
