10. Anime: Clevatess

Based on the novel Yusura Kankitsu, this anime features Clevatess, an archdemon whose presence puts the balance of the world in check.

This was one of the most anticipated premieres by fans of the manga. Tougen Anki brings with it the eternal struggle between humans and descendants of the onibut it does so with a modern and violent air reminiscent of classics like Tokyo Ghoul.

7. Anime: City

The original project that has most surprised this summer. City Mix absurd comedy with an urban slice of life that reflects the chaotic life of a group of young people in a great metropolis.

The supernatural drama that no one expected has become one of the most talked about titles of the season. the story of Yoshiki and Hikaru, marked by friendship, mystery and a background of terror, plays with summer melancholy and adolescent tension. Visually, it is beautiful and its atmosphere is reminiscent of works such as ANOHANA, but with a much more disturbing turn.
5. With You And The Rain

Based on an indie cut manga, this anime is pure sensitivity. It follows the life of a girl who finds company in a rather peculiar dog during rainy days. It is minimalist, melancholic and visually relaxing, like an animated poem. For those who enjoy contemplative animes with a slow rhythm, this is the essential premiere of the summer.
4. Gachiakuta

of all new shonen, Gachiakuta It’s probably the one that makes the most noise. Its punk aesthetic, its chaotic world full of garbage and danger, and a protagonist fighting against an unjust fate have caught thousands of fans. The animation is vibrant and the art direction is reminiscent of the best of Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man, but with a very own identity.

The school romance that came to refresh the season. The relationship between Kaoruko and Rintaro It has been received with great affection for its authenticity and the natural way in which it evolves. It does not fall on forced clichés, but it feels genuine and delicate. A sweet story, but with enough heart, that is earning the place of “summer romance”.

Inspired by the successful Chinese web novel, this anime combines elements of mystery, occultism and steampunk.

1. Takopi’s original without

The most painful and commented premiere of the season. This short-lived manga had already left its mark on its publication, and now its adaptation is stirring emotions everywhere. The Alien’s Story Takopi And the children he finds on earth is as innocent as it is heartbreaking, and his treatment of abuse, depression and loneliness makes it a work that leaves no one indifferent. Hard to see, but impossible to forget.
The summer of 2025 will be marked as one of the richest seasons in variety. From intimate stories like with you and the rain to the brutal impact of Takopi’s original without, passing through the endearing romance of The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity and the madness of Gachiakuta, it is clear that the industry did not leave anything to chance.
