List of previous predictions: (https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=899138)

Upcoming/unreleased anime with potential to be absolute bangers and even game changing for the medium.

Basic Criteria:
- not a sequel
- Remakes are eligible
- Spinoffs are eligible if they are loosely related enough to the original.

This will be an endlessly ever growing and changing list being updated regularly, adding in new promising releases once announced and removing ones that have already started or finished airing.

This stack is dedicated to new or simply other works of famous authors that do not fall under spin-offs, alternative timelines or stealth sequels. I will indicate the author and what they are famous for for each included anime, I hope this will help you expand your knowledge about the works of your favorite or interesting authors. I also tried not to include works for which famous authors simply wrote the script for someone else's idea, but if you want, I will include that in the future.

Shows that are on their way to bless our eyes and move the most, judging from the staff involved (movies and sequels excluded)

(costantly updated, entries will be removed once their respective broadcast ends)

Anime to look forward to

[Watchlist]

Shinichirou Watanabe is a Japanese anime television and film director, best known for directing the critically acclaimed and commercially successful anime series Cowboy Bebop (1998), Samurai Champloo (2004), and Space Dandy (2014). Considered an auteur of Japanese animation by film and television critics, Watanabe's work is characterized by evocative uses of music, mature themes, and the incorporation of multiple genres.

Spring 2025 is getting closer, so I decided to make this list to celebrate this new season of anime adaptations.
The list is based on how much I am hyped for the series. so you may have your own ranking.
#1 - #6: You must watch them no matter what!
#7 - #11: they can be good like the first six, but there are somethings that may ruin this shows.
#12 - #14: they may be good but I will say that with a grain of salt since I am not sure!
#15 - #22: They have nice premise, that's why they are on the list so maybe they can be a banger or miss!

like always One Piece is not included

A curated list of the hottest anime releasing in Summer 2025—get ready for new adventures, mysteries, and action

Anime openings and endings are typically in Japanese, but this isn't always the case. This unspoken rule is sometimes broken by these anime, some of these songs are understandable , and some others are cataloged as "engrish" (term used to describe songs sung in english but with a thick japanese prononciation).

Only songs sung entirely in English will be included on this list.

List of titles dubbed into Latin Spanish for the Spring 2025 season. Enjoy! 🦄🩷

[Please translate this. I don't write English fluently, so I prefer to write in Portuguese!]

Compilado de títulos de obras que, eu brasileiro que sou, gosto de chamar de 'Animes de trambiqueiros' (ou seja, com personagens criminosos, caóticos, sagazes e/ou com uma quantidade grande de personagens não japoneses / estrangeiros. Além de citarem o Brasil ou conterem personagens brasileiros.)

AVISO: Esses animes contém GATILHOS. Se assuntos mais sensíveis te incomodam, não assista antes de ver uma lista de Trigger Warnings.

Não assisti todos os títulos daqui, essa lista é um compilado e não uma indicação (mas todos os títulos que eu já consumi valem MUITO A PENA!)

This stack only includes non-sequel TV anime—no movies, OVAs, or continuing series here.

This isn’t a list based on MAL scores, popular opinion, or what the hive mind thinks is "objectively good." These picks are entirely my personal favorites, based on what I’ve actually watched and enjoyed this season.

The list is ranked by enjoyment—top = most enjoyed, and it goes down from there. That said, I still consider everything here worth checking out. Just because something is lower doesn’t mean it’s bad—it’s just a relative ranking of what clicked with me.

Also, for full transparency: the ranking isn't necessarily tied to the scores I've given each show. It’s purely about how much fun I had watching them.

One more thing: Spring 2025 has been a pretty rough season for anime overall. If you've got older shows sitting in your PTW, honestly, I'd recommend diving into those first. But if you're curious about what (new) stood out for me this season, here’s the list.

I’ll update this stack if I come across anything else this season that deserves a spot, or if anything here ends up becoming disappointing thus gets removed.
