Top Spring 2025 Anime Recommendations
From the lineup, I've highlighted ***The Apothecary Diaries, Once Upon A Witch’s Death, The Beginning After The End, To Be Hero X***, and ***WITCH WATCH*** as must-watch series on Crunchyroll. Here are some additional gems to add to your watchlist:
***Devil May Cry*** on Netflix is a must-see for fans of video game adaptations. With a trailer featuring Limp Bizkit and an Evanescence track, it promises to deliver the right tone for its audience. Netflix's track record with anime-style game IPs varies, but with creator Adi Shankar and Studio Mir behind it, expectations are high. Even if you're not familiar with the *Devil May Cry* universe, fans of series like *Trigun* will enjoy the edgy adventures of Dante.
In ***Moonrise***, the moon fights for its independence, a premise that has blockbuster written all over it. With animation from WIT Studio, character designs by Hiromu Arakawa, and direction by Masashi Koizuka, this ONA promises to be a visual and narrative treat. Despite limited story details, the talent involved suggests a special experience awaits.
Lastly, ***YAIBA: Samurai Legends*** on Netflix might be a hidden gem for those unfamiliar with the original manga by Gosho Aoyama. This samurai comedy follows Yaiba Kurogane in his battles against a formidable foe. With WIT Studio and Aoyama's direct involvement, this adaptation blends the charm of *Detective Conan* with the humor of early *Dragon Ball*, making it a must-watch for fans of both genres.
