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 winter 2025 season.
Some of the popular anime TV series returning in winter include Shangri-La Frontier, One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga, and Rurouni Kenshin -Kyoto Disturbance-.
That said, the most anticipated release has to be the second season of Solo Leveling, which will pick up as Jinwoo continues to master his necromancy abilities “while keeping them hidden from other hunters, all while racing against the clock to save his mother.”
I am also excited to see the rest of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- season 3, which is raising the stakes significantly over the previous season in 2021.
