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 watchlist from the list above too.

***Devil May Cry*** is the latest animated video game adaptation from Netflix, and if its Limp Bizkit-soundtracked trailer and the inclusion of a newly composed Evanescence track are anything to go by, its makers know exactly what kind of tone they need to hit for their target audience. From stunners like *Castlevania*, *Arcane*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* to duds like *Tekken*: *Bloodline* and *Dragon’s Dogma*, Netflix is a very mixed bag for anime or anime-style game IPs. Luckily, creator Adi Shankar has the aforementioned *Castlevania*, as well as the wacky *Guardians of Justice* and *Captain Laserhawk*, under his belt, while animators Studio Mir are the folks behind the *Avatar: The Last Airbender, Korra* and a raft of other incredible east-west fusion cartoons. Even if you're not familiar with the *Devil May Cry* world, fans of anime like *Trigun* should get a kick out of the mercenary escapades of peak '00s edgelord Dante.

The moon is fighting for independence in ***Moonrise***, a name and concept the creators of 2021's *Moonfall* are no doubt kicking themselves for not capitalizing on for a sequel nobody but me is asking for. Blockbuster talent has gone into the making of this ONA, including animation from WIT Studio (*Attack On Titan, Vinland Saga*), original character designs from manga icon Hiromu Arakawa (*Fullmetal Alchemist*), and direction from Masashi Koizuka (*Attack On Titan* Seasons 2 & 3). Scant information is available about the story despite it originally being slated for release in 2024. Hopefully, the tight lips mean we're in for something special.

Lastly, those outside Japan or under a certain age may not have heard of ***YAIBA*** before, but it has remained relatively popular since the manga's initial publication in the late 1980s. Created by the legendary Gosho Aoyama, better known for *Case Closed*, this samurai comedy series follows Yaiba Kurogane as he battles against an arch-nemesis who is armed with a magical katana and a demon army. Helmed again by WIT, *Yaiba: Samurai Legends* is only the second anime adaptation after a year-long TV run in the early '90s, and this time, Aoyama is taking a hands-on role in production. Definitely check this one out if you like the style and feel of *Detective Conan* mixed with the goofy martial arts of early *Dragon Ball* and a plethora of Japanese historical cameos to boot.
