Anime has gone mainstream. If you need proof, then look no further than Sony’s $1.175 billion acquisition of the anime streaming service Crunchyroll in 2021. While Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Max have all expanded their selection of Japanese animation content, no service can really compete with Crunchyroll when it comes to the number of shows and movies. With that in mind, here’s everything new on Crunchyroll for the summer 2025 season.
Some of the popular anime TV series returning in summer 2025 include Dan Da Dan, Kaiju No. 8, Rent-a-Girlfriend, and The Rising of the Shield Hero.
Among the most exciting premieres this season is Bones Film’s Gachiakuta. Based on a manga written and illustrated by Kei Urana, Gachiakuta is a dark fantasy show about an orphan named Rudo who has to fight for survival in the slums beneath a floating city.
There are also plenty of TV shows continuing their runs from spring 2025, including One Piece, Case Closed, Witch Watch, To Be Hero X, and Summer Pockets.
