The 2025 summer anime season is about to begin, and streaming platform Crunchyroll has revealed the series you can watch weekly starting June 28. The list includes more than 40 titles, both premieres and new seasons of popular anime, spanning a wide variety of genres, styles, and animation studios.
Big returns and long-awaited premieres
Among the most anticipated sequels are titles like Dandadan Season 2, Hanako-kun Season 2, My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4, and Kaiju No. 8 Season 2. These aforementioned anime stand out for having a large fan base. This is due to their plot, excellent character development, and high-quality animation. Furthermore, these series will find their home on Crunchyroll.
One of the most anticipated returns is My Dress-Up Darling, which after its initial success returns with a new dose of romance and cosplay that has kept fans on the edge of their seats since 2022. Likewise, Rent-a-Girlfriend continues its story with a fourth season premiering July 1. It maintains the drama of rental girlfriends, all accessible on the Crunchyroll platform.
News for all tastes
The season also features a host of original productions and new adaptations. Takopi no Genzai, based on a popular Shueisha manga, will open Crunchyroll's Summer season on June 28. Produced by ENISHIYA and directed by Shinya Iino (Dr. Stone), this six-episode miniseries features an octopus-like alien. He arrives on Earth with the intention of making a lonely girl named Shizuka happy. The series combines emotional drama with soft science fiction.
Another intriguing offering is Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, scheduled for July 1. It blends cosmic horror with elements of absurdist comedy. Clevatess (July 2) and Lord of Mysteries (June 28) offer darker, more atmospheric alternatives. The latter is set in a steampunk version of the Victorian era. The protagonist must navigate between secret churches and hidden horrors, all available on Crunchyroll.
Between feline horror and culinary comedy
Renowned studios like OLM (responsible for Pokémon and The Apothecary Diaries) are presenting two interesting titles this season. Nyaight of the Living Cat, a horror comedy premiering July 6, revolves around a virus that turns any human who touches a feline into a cat. The protagonist, Kunagi, uses his feline knowledge to survive this "nyandemonic" apocalypse.
On the other hand, Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant! (July 3) takes us to a fantasy world. Here, Dennis, a disgraced hero, opens a restaurant for outcast adventurers. The culinary approach is mixed with comedy and slice-of-life. It's a formula that has proven successful in other series of the genre and will now be available on Crunchyroll.
More adaptations expected
The season also includes titles such as:
- Arknights: Rise From Ember (July 4), a sequel to the popular anime based on the mobile video game.
- Secrets of the Silent Witch (July 4), about a witch who must hide her magical identity while protecting a prince. Available on Crunchyroll.
- Turkey! Time to Strike (July 8), an absurd comedy with anthropomorphic birds and satirical humor.
- I Was Reincarnated As the Seventh Prince… (July 9), classic isekai with an overpowered protagonist and detailed magic.
What's next in the spring catalog
In addition to the new additions, several anime that began streaming in the spring season will continue their run in the summer. These include Anne Shirley, Summer Pockets, You and Idol Precure, and Witch Watch, all available in Crunchyroll's catalog.
