Best New Anime to Watch (Summer Season 2025)\"ADan Da Dan Season 2 (Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan Da Dan finally returns this season after that wicked cliffhanger they left us on. Okarun and the gang have another supernatural event on their hands, but this time we see the newest addition, Jiji, shine in the first few episodes. Studio Science Saru is back for Season 2, so expect great character designs and more amazing action sequences. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how the rest of the season unfolds as the crew\u2019s little bubble seems to blow up. Dan Da Dan Season 2 is available now on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.<\/p>\n

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 (Crunchyroll)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The beloved rom-com My Dress-Up Darling is back with Season 2! For those not familiar, the series follows Marin, a cosplayer who develops a close relationship with Wakana, who is very skilled at making clothes. Cloverworks returns to helm animation for Season 2, and they really stepped up their game this season. Although subtle at times, some sequences just appear to be on a different level, so props to the team. My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 is available now on Crunchyroll.<\/p>\n

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (Netflix)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another highly anticipated romance series this season is The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. The series follows Rintaro, a seemingly delinquent student who meets Kaoruko, a student from an all-girls school, at the bakery where he works. The pair have a customer relationship at first, so we\u2019ll get to see how their bond grows over the course of the season. Cloverworks is also the studio behind this romance series, so expect some quality work for its anime adaptation debut. The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity will premiere on Netflix on September 7. <\/p>\n

Call of the Night Season 2 (HIDIVE)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Continuing on the great romance series train this summer, we have the return of Call of the Night with Season 2! The series follows Kou, a young boy who, due to his insomnia, meets a mysterious girl in the dead of night. Turns out this girl is a vampire, and meeting her changes Kou\u2019s perspective on life. LIDENFILMS, the studio behind Tokyo Revengers and Kotaro Lives Alone, is back leading animation production for the second season. If the new opening sequence alongside the latest music banger from Creepy Nuts is any indication, this second season will have an interesting development with some fighting action. Call of the Night Season 2 is available now on HIDIVE.<\/p>\n

Takopi’s Original Sin (Crunchyroll)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most talked about series this summer season is Takopi\u2019s Original Sin. The series follows a squid-like alien on a quest to spread happiness across the universe. Eventually it\u2019s rescued by a young girl, and so the alien, now named Takopii, hopes to understand more about the humans of this planet. Please note: This series deals with bullying and suicide and features disturbing images and behaviors. So please take the utmost care around this series. Takopi\u2019s Original Sin is available now on Crunchyroll.<\/p>\n

CITY The Animation (Amazon Prime)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On a lighter note, If you miss the likes of the Keiichi Arawi\u2019s Nichijou, there\u2019s a new series for you this summer. CITY The Animation follows a group of girls in their everyday lives, and is filled with some of the most ridiculous and hilarious situations you\u2019ve seen in any anime. Kyoto Animation, the studio previously behind Nichijou, is also taking point on CITY The Animation so expect some very entertaining sequences as the season progresses. City The Animation is available now on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n

Leviathan (Netflix)\"null\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you interested in alternate timeline stories? If so, then the new Leviathan series may be a good fit for you! Set in 1914 and depicting the start of World War I, the series follows Sharp, a young girl disguised as a boy in hopes of joining the military, and a young prince who flees his country after his parents\u2019 assassination. The kicker is that there are creatures that exist in this world that are used for military purposes, like a giant, floating jellyfish and weaponized bats \u2013 and these pop up among all the political drama. Studio Orange, known for Beastars and Trigun Stampede, is leading production for this series, so expect some amazing 3D animation. Leviathan is available now on Netlfix.<\/p>\n

The Summer Hikaru Died (Netflix)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Netflix anime, another talked about series this season is The Summer Hikaru Died. The series follows best friends Yoshiki and Hikaru, except this is not the same Hikaru that Yoshiki grew up with. It\u2019s a mysterious creature that took the form of Hikaru and Yoshiki accepts it for now as part of his grief. CygamesPictures, the studio known for Apocalypse Hotel and Brave Bang Bravern!, is behind this anime adaptation. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Yoshiki keeps up this facade as the season progresses. The Summer Hikaru Died is available now on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Gachiakuta (Crunchyroll)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most anticipated shonen this summer season is here with Gachiakuta. The series follows Rudo, a young boy who lives in the slums surrounding a somewhat perfect society. He is mistakenly accused of murder and it leads to him being thrown into a gaping abyss where all the trash in this society is dumped. Bones Film, the studio behind the recent My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, will be heading animation for this series. Gachiakuta has all you need for action-packed shonen, so expect some flash action sequences as Rudo seeks revenge throughout the season. Gachiakuta is available now on Crunchyroll.<\/p>\n

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 (Crunchyroll)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, the highly anticipated Kaiju No. 8 is back with Season 2! Last we saw Kafka and the Third Division, there was major destruction after the climatic battle. As rebuilding takes place, the crew is split up for what seems to be training opportunities. Production I.G. returns to helm animation production, so we\u2019ll see more glorious Kaiju battle action as the season progresses. Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is available now on Crunchyroll. <\/p>\n
