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, but there are some great additional picks that should be on your watch list from the list above too.

Devil May Cry is the latest animated video game adaptation from Netflix, 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. However, with creator Adi Shankar, who has worked on Castlevania, Guardians of Justice, and Captain Laserhawk, and Studio Mir, known for Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra, behind the project, Devil May Cry promises to deliver. Even if you're not familiar with the game, fans of anime like Trigun will enjoy the mercenary escapades of the iconic Dante.

The moon's quest for independence is the central theme of Moonrise, a project that has attracted blockbuster talent. WIT Studio, known for Attack On Titan and Vinland Saga, handles the animation, while original character designs come from manga icon Hiromu Arakawa of Fullmetal Alchemist fame. Directed by Masashi Koizuka, who worked on Attack On Titan Seasons 2 & 3, Moonrise is shrouded in mystery, but the involvement of such high-caliber creators suggests a special treat is in store.

Lastly, YAIBA: Samurai Legends might be less known outside Japan or among younger audiences, but it has maintained a cult following since its manga debut in the late 1980s. Created by Gosho Aoyama, famous for Case Closed, this samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane in his battle against a formidable foe with a magical katana and a demon army. With WIT Studio at the helm and Aoyama's direct involvement, YAIBA: Samurai Legends promises to blend the humor and action of early Dragon Ball with the detective flair of Detective Conan, all while paying homage to Japanese history.
