Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations

My spotlight for Spring 2025 includes The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X, and WITCH WATCH from Crunchyroll's dub lineup. However, there are several other gems from the list above that deserve a spot on your watch list.

Devil May Cry is Netflix's latest venture into animated video game adaptations. With a trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and a new Evanescence track, it's clear the creators understand their audience's vibe. Netflix has had a mixed track record with anime and game IPs, ranging from hits like Castlevania, Arcane, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to misses such as Tekken: Bloodline and Dragon’s Dogma. Yet, with Adi Shankar's involvement (known for Castlevania and Guardians of Justice) and Studio Mir's animation expertise (behind Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra), Devil May Cry promises a thrilling ride, especially for fans of edgelord characters like Dante from Trigun.

In Moonrise, the moon's quest for independence takes center stage. This original net animation (ONA) boasts a powerhouse team, including WIT Studio (Attack On Titan, Vinland Saga), character designs by Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist), and direction by Masashi Koizuka (Attack On Titan Seasons 2 & 3). Although details about the plot remain scarce, the caliber of talent involved suggests a potentially groundbreaking series.

Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends brings back a lesser-known gem from the late 1980s, created by Gosho Aoyama, famous for Case Closed. This samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane's adventures against a formidable foe equipped with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio at the helm and Aoyama's active participation in production, this revival promises to blend the humor of early Dragon Ball with the detective flair of Detective Conan, all while paying homage to Japanese history.
