I suppose most if not all anime fans are familiar with the MyAnimeList website. One of my otaku friends introduced this site to me around 15 years ago. I used to have an account, but I could no longer find it. So, I created a new one two years ago. I still need to organize my list because there were tons of anime I've watched in the past that I still haven't listed.
Anyway, I want to share some screenshots of the 2025 animated movies and series that are already on my list. I may add more next year.
✩ Winter 2025 - Series ✩
Dr. Stone: Science Future: It's the first installment of Dr. Stone's final season! I have already read the manga, but this arc is also really exciting! <3
Medalist: I chose it because it seems interesting and it's sports! hahaha
✩ Winter 2025 - Movies ✩
Mononoke: Hinezumi: I just watched the first installment of this movie earlier this month, so knowing that there's a continuation made me excited.
Shinran: Jinsei no Mokuteki: I find this interesting since I'm into Japanese culture and history. Another good thing is that it's set in the Heian period which is my favorite era in Japan.
✩ Spring 2025 - Series ✩
- Wind Breaker S2: I just re-read and caught up with the latest chapter of the manga recently, so I'm really looking forward to watching this. I miss Sakura and the gang... and I guess the fight with Keel and the collab with Roppo-Ichiza will be included in this season. <3
✩ Spring 2025 - Movie ✩
- Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Movie: Taboo Night Kisses: I don't know exactly, but I'm hoping that it's a concert movie starring Quartet Night. The previous Uta-Pri Kingdom movie was such an amazing concert movie, so I hope this one is the same. <3 I like Quartet Night's songs and Ranmaru is my bias! I wonder if Starish would guest in their concert. hahaha
I haven't selected any movie or series for summer 2025, so it's still to be updated.
✩ Later in 2025 (plus possible release in 2025) - Series ✩
On this list, there are mostly sequels to the anime series that I'm following.
- Boku no Hero Academia: Final Season
- Boukyaku Battery S2
- Dia no Ace Act II: Zoku-hen
- Jigokuraku S2
- Mairimashita! Iruma-kun S4
- Sk8 S2
Among them, I'm most excited to watch Dia no Ace Act II: Zoku-hen. I recently rewatched the prequel and I'm aware of the upcoming matches since I also read the manga. It's going to be amazing.
I'm thinking of rewatching HeroAca from the beginning before watching the final season. I haven't watched the prequel yet, so maybe I'll just binge-watch everything once the final season is completed. :)
The only anime that isn't a sequel to a previous series I've watched on this list is another historical Japanese anime called Shabake. I find it interesting not only because it's related to Japanese history, but my favorite Japanese singer Tegoshi Yuya starred in a drama based on the same novel. I wasn't able to watch it, but it would be awesome to see the animated version.
✩ Later in 2025 (plus possible release in 2025) - Movies ✩
These two movies don't have a specific release date, yet. However, I'd surely watch them. Of course, I love Haikyuu! and I just can't miss this movie... and as for Tsurubamiiro no Nagiko-tachi, it's also another historical Japanese anime. I'm learning a lot of information from anime and my students, so it's really fun. It's a great topic for conversation in some of my classes as well.
There aren't a lot on my list yet, but they'll surely grow in the coming days. hahah I just hope I'll have enough free time to watch all of them.
Thanks for reading and see you around! (^^,)/
