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 other great picks that deserve a spot on your watch list from the lineup above.

***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 are aiming for a specific tone that resonates with their target audience. Netflix has had a mixed bag with anime-style game IPs, ranging from successes like *Castlevania*, *Arcane*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* to less successful efforts like *Tekken: Bloodline* and *Dragon’s Dogma*. However, with Adi Shankar, the mastermind behind *Castlevania* and other unique projects like *Guardians of Justice* and *Captain Laserhawk*, along with Studio Mir, known for *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and *Korra*, this series has a strong foundation. Even if you're new to the *Devil May Cry* universe, fans of anime like *Trigun* will appreciate the adventures of Dante, the epitome of '00s edgelord charm.

In ***Moonrise***, the moon is on a quest for independence, a concept that might have the creators of 2021's *Moonfall* wishing they had thought of it first. This original net animation (ONA) boasts impressive talent, including animation from WIT Studio, known for *Attack On Titan* and *Vinland Saga*, character designs by manga icon Hiromu Arakawa of *Fullmetal Alchemist* fame, and direction by Masashi Koizuka, who helmed *Attack On Titan* Seasons 2 & 3. Despite the limited information available about the story, which was initially slated for 2024, the secrecy suggests we're in for a special treat.

Lastly, for those unfamiliar with ***YAIBA*** outside Japan or among younger audiences, this series has maintained its popularity since its late 1980s manga debut. Created by Gosho Aoyama, renowned for *Case Closed*, *Yaiba: Samurai Legends* follows Yaiba Kurogane in his comedic samurai battles against an arch-nemesis wielding a magical katana and a demon army. This marks the second anime adaptation after a brief TV run in the early '90s, with Aoyama actively involved in production this time. If you enjoy the style and humor of *Detective Conan* combined with the martial arts antics of early *Dragon Ball* and historical Japanese references, this is definitely worth watching.
