Top 10 New Anime Premiering Spring 2025 You Can't Miss

Your Ultimate Guide to Spring 2025's New Anime

If you're the kind of anime fan who loves the thrill of discovering fresh stories and bold debuts, Spring 2025 is shaping up to be your season. While sequels usually dominate, this season is bursting with standout original and first-time adaptations that are turning heads. Let’s dive into the 10 most anticipated non-sequel anime arriving this spring!

🔥 Devil May Cry

The hype is very real. After years of hope and speculation, the Devil May Cry anime is finally slashing its way onto the scene. Produced by Adi Shankar (yes, the same genius behind Netflix’s Castlevania), this series aims to blend high-octane demon-slaying action with that cheeky, campy charm fans adore about Dante. Expect slick animation, brutal combat, and enough swagger to fill a cathedral. Capcom is directly involved, which means loyalists can rest easy—it’s gonna be faithful and fire.

The 2025 storyline follows a younger, rougher-around-the-edges Dante as he runs a demon-hunting business with zero budget and infinite attitude. When a new breed of hellspawn starts surfacing across the human world, Dante gets pulled into a deeper plot tied to his family's dark legacy—and the return of an ancient demon king. Along the way, we’ll see iconic characters like Lady and Vergil, all while the series builds toward a showdown that could rewrite the rules of both realms.

Season 1 will feature 12 episodes, packed with cinematic action, iconic one-liners, and just the right amount of blood-splattered style. The first episode drops March 11, 2025, and fans are already counting down the days.

⚔️ Renki: Sword of the Demon Hunter

Feudal Japan meets full-blown supernatural carnage in Renki: Sword of the Demon Hunter—and it might just slice its way into the top spot of Spring 2025. This dark fantasy thriller brings intense samurai action, chilling yokai designs, and some of the most fluid swordplay animation you’ll see all year. Fans of Demon Slayer but craving something grittier? Yeah, this one’s for you.

The story follows Renki, a lone warrior bound by a cursed blade and an oath to vanquish demons terrorizing a world where folklore and reality bleed together. As his journey unfolds, he crosses paths with vengeful spirits, haunted villagers, and secrets buried beneath the ashes of war. Think cinematic duels in moonlit forests, and a protagonist with more scars than smiles.

The series is set to run for 12 episodes, each packed with blood, blade, and heavy emotional swings. Premiering March 15, 2025, Sword of the Demon Hunter is gearing up to be the dark horse anime of the season.

🧊 Super Cube

What happens when a bullied schoolboy stumbles upon a mysterious cube that turns him into a superpowered beast? You get Supercube—a kinetic, coming-of-age banger that blends heart, humor, and high-octane action into one of the freshest anime concepts this spring. The animation? Sharp. The fights? Wild. The energy? Off the charts.

The series kicks off when protagonist Jiwoo, trying to escape a gang of thugs, finds a glowing cube that literally flips his world upside down. Suddenly blessed (or cursed?) with supernatural abilities, he’s thrown headfirst into a hidden war between rival factions, ancient powers, and elite cube wielders. Imagine Solo Leveling meets Mob Psycho 100—but with Chinese-donghua flair and a twist you won’t see coming.

12 episodes are confirmed for Season 1, with each promising cliffhangers, explosive battles, and a surprising amount of character growth. It all starts March 18, 2025—and trust us, you’ll want to be there when that cube activates.

Ready for a rom-com with spells, ogres, and absolute chaos? Witch Watch is your ticket to whimsical, weird, and wonderfully wacky anime storytelling. From the creator of Sket Dance, this light-hearted supernatural series brings charm, comedy, and a whole cauldron of trouble.

The story follows Niko, a young witch fresh out of training, who defies magical norms by choosing Morihito—her ogre childhood friend—as her familiar. The catch? A curse forces him to say yes. Now the two live under one roof, trying to dodge disasters (both magical and emotional) while contending with prophecies of doom. It's cozy, comedic, and full of heartwarming nonsense.

Season 1 will consist of 12 episodes, perfect for fans who love their magic mixed with slice-of-life humor. Mark your calendars for March 20, 2025—this is your feel-good anime pick of the season.

🛡️ From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman

We love a good “washed-up legend gets dragged back into the game” arc—and From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman delivers just that, with elegance and edge. Beryl Gardinant once shook kingdoms, but now he’s just trying to enjoy retirement in a sleepy village... until the Knights of the Liberian Order come knocking.

Beryl’s former student returns, begging him to train a new generation of warriors to face a growing threat. He resists, but fate (and plot armor) have other plans. What follows is a high-stakes return to form, where Beryl’s rusty blade still cuts sharper than most. The series mixes mature storytelling, brutal sword duels, and a deep emotional core that makes this more than just another fantasy romp.

Expect 12 episodes of master-level swordsmanship, quiet intensity, and character-driven arcs. It swings into action on March 22, 2025—get ready for a serious hit of grown-up anime goodness.

⚔️ Shin Samurai Den Yaiba

Classic anime fans, this one’s for you. Shin Samurai Den Yaiba is bringing back the legendary ’90s series with a fresh coat of paint and a modern twist. Created by Gosho Aoyama (yes, the mastermind behind Detective Conan), this reimagined version of Yaiba is part action adventure, part nostalgic blast—and it’s about to slice through Spring 2025 like a katana through bamboo.

Raised in the jungle and trained as a samurai, Yaiba returns to Japan and quickly finds himself clashing with the corrupted kendo prodigy Onimaru, now possessed by a legendary demon blade. To stop him, Yaiba must embark on a wild journey to find a holy sword that can turn the tide. Think Shonen energy with Saturday-morning hero vibes, but layered with modern animation and a deeper emotional edge.

12 episodes will retell (and reinvent) the original story beats, making it perfect for both OG fans and newcomers. The reboot premieres March 25, 2025, and if the trailers are anything to go by, this remake is going to hit hard.

🧠 Your Forma

If you’ve been craving a cerebral sci-fi anime that blends mystery, tech, and psychological drama, Your Forma might be the sleeper hit of Spring 2025. It takes a high-concept idea—recorded memories as digital files—and spins it into a gripping detective thriller with massive world-ending stakes.

Set in a near-future society where “Your Form” technology stores every experience a person has, elite memory diver Echika partners with an android named Harold to solve cases by entering the memories of the dead. But as they dig deeper, they uncover a vast conspiracy tied to a looming catastrophe. It’s sleek, philosophical, and pulse-pounding—a blend of Psycho-Pass and Ghost in the Shell with a modern twist.

The series will run for 12 episodes, starting March 28, 2025. If you like your anime with brains, heart, and a touch of existential dread, don’t sleep on this one.

🏙️ Kowloon Generic Romance

Step into the neon-lit maze of an alternate Kowloon Walled City—where time stands still, and mystery hangs in the air like humidity. Kowloon Generic Romance is one of the most unique offerings this season, with a noir-romance aesthetic and world-building so textured you can practically smell the street food.

In this version of history, Kowloon hasn’t been demolished—it’s become a living time capsule of Hong Kong’s forgotten soul. Reiko Kujirai is a driven real estate agent who dreams of modernization, while Hajime Kudo clings to the past. Their chemistry is undeniable, but beneath their routine lives is a deeper secret that slowly unravels the truth about their world—and themselves.

Expect 12 episodes of slow-burn romance, mystery, and visual storytelling that hits like poetry. Premiering April 1, 2025, this one’s for the grown-up anime fan who loves atmosphere and emotion.

👑 The Beginning After The End

Webtoon readers, rise up. One of the most beloved English-language manhwa is finally making its anime debut, and The Beginning After The End is poised to dominate Spring 2025. With magic, monsters, and monarchs, this isekai tale throws the rulebook out the window—and reinvents the genre while it’s at it.

King Grey had everything—power, wealth, and glory—but no one to share it with. After his untimely death, he reincarnates as Arthur Leywin in a mystical world of beasts and spellcraft. Armed with the wisdom of a former king and the body of a growing boy, Arthur sets out to live life differently this time—while facing battles that test his strength, resolve, and heart.

The anime will span 12 episodes in its first season, capturing the early arcs of Arthur’s new life and explosive awakening. Catch the premiere April 4, 2025, and prepare for a rare Western-origin isekai that stands tall among the best.

Last but absolutely not least, we’ve got Lazarus—a sci-fi action-thriller that screams '90s anime revival in the best possible way. Stylish, philosophical, and high-stakes, it dives into a future where humanity's miracle drug turns out to be its curse.

After saving the world with his miracle cure “Harpuna,” the elusive Dr. Skinner vanishes. Three years later, he resurfaces with a chilling revelation: everyone who took the drug has exactly three years to live. A special task force is formed to uncover the truth, confront Skinner, and stop a global extinction event—before time runs out.
