Top 10 Anime of 2025 (So Far)
2025 has already been wild for anime—from long-awaited sequels to unexpected masterpieces that snuck in under the radar. But instead of just going by hype or member count, we decided to dig into what fans are actually rating the highest on MyAnimeList. That way, we’re not just listing the ones everyone’s watching, but the ones they’re actually loving.

This list is ranked by user ratings, not total members or mainstream buzz—so you might just find a few hidden gems that aren’t blowing up on your feed (yet). Whether you’re in the mood for drama, action, or brain-melting twists, there’s something in here worth adding to your watchlist.

1. Takopi’s Original Sin
- MAL rating: 8.77
- Aired: June 28, 2025 – ongoing
- Episodes: 6 (planned)
- Genres: Dystopian, Horror, Sci-Fi
Takopi’s Original Sin is one of 2025’s most surprising heartbreakers. What starts off looking like a cutesy alien-and-kid story flips fast into something darker and deeply emotional.

Adapted from Taizan5’s short manga, it follows Takopi, a naïve octopus alien who tries to fix a bullied girl’s life using “happy” gadgets—but his good intentions go terrifyingly wrong.

The art is soft and innocent, which only makes the gut-punches hit harder. It’s ranking high (8.77 on MyAnimeList) not because it’s flashy, but because it’s honest, raw, and deeply human. Short but powerful, it’s a must-watch for fans of emotional sci-fi with bite.

2. Lord of Mysteries
- MAL rating: 8.77
- Aired: June 28, 2025 – ongoing
- Episodes: 13
- Genres: Action, Mystery, Supernatural, Suspense
One of 2025’s most hyped-up donghua, Lord of Mysteries earns this spot for good reason. Based on the insanely popular Chinese web novel by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, it finally made the jump to animation—and fans are already calling it a game-changer for fantasy lovers.

The story follows Zhou Mingrui, who wakes up in the body of Klein Moretti in a gritty, steampunk world full of secret organizations, supernatural artifacts, and Lovecraftian horrors. It’s slow-burning at first, but once the mystery unravels, it really hooks you. If you’re into occult stuff, tarot powers, or that classic Victorian horror vibe, this is totally your lane.

The animation by B.CMAY Pictures looks surprisingly sharp—people are comparing the quality to early Ufotable trailers. And with strong user ratings on MAL (especially from novel readers), it’s already getting tons of attention outside of China too. Best part? It’s streaming globally with subs and dubs, and Season 2 is already locked in.

3. Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow
- MAL rating: 8.71
- Aired: January 4, 2025 – March 30, 2025
- Episodes: 12
- Genres: Action, Supernatural, Fantasy
Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow has absolutely leveled up what made Season 1 shine—A‑1 Pictures cranks the action to 11 and doubles down on slick visuals, harder-hitting arcs, and a nearly perfect IMDb reception (9.7 for episode 12).

Jin‑woo stomps through iconic moments like the Red Gate Ice Elf battle and the Jeju Island raid with brutal intensity. Reddit fans are split—some feel it’s “fast‑food anime” with OTT power fantasy, while others call it “as good as it gets” thanks to show-stopping fights and pacing.

Critics also chimed in: Rotten Tomatoes and Sportskeeda praise the animation and storytelling polish, though they note a few transition episodes felt slower.

4. To Be Hero X
- MAL rating: 8.52
- Aired: April 2025 – ongoing
- Episodes: 24 (planned)
- Genres: Superhero, Comedy, Action
To Be Hero X drops you into a wild world from April 2025, where believing in heroes literally gives them powers. It’s the third entry in the To Be Hero franchise (after the 2016 and 2018 versions) and mixes slick CG with vibrant 2D for a truly eye-popping look.

Following Lin Ling and a mysterious #1 hero known as “X,” it turns the idea of fame and influence into literal superpowers. Reddit users are hyped about the animation—some preferring the 2D, some loving the CG—but everyone’s agreed it looks phenomenal.

Boasting an 8.3 score on Simkl and strong buzz on Crunchyroll, it’s perfect for fans craving explosive visuals, social‑powered abilities, and tournament-style drama.

5. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray
- MAL rating: 8.47
- Aired: April 6, 2025 – June 29, 2025
- Episodes: 13 (planned)
- Genres: Sports, Slice of Life, Drama
Kicking off in April 2025, Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray brings a fresh, grittier spin to the franchise. Instead of idols, you get Oguri Cap, a gray-haired “beast” from the countryside, grinding her way to the big leagues. The setup is classic underdog: rural kid joins a regional academy, overcomes rivals and even shoelace sabotage—only to absolutely crush it on the track.

The animation from CygamesPictures is sharp, especially during races, and the tone leans more serious thanks to Kenji Kawai’s music. Loved for the intense races and character depth, the series hits harder than past entries. Unsurprisingly, high MAL ratings reflect its emotional storytelling and stunning visuals.

6. Heaven Official’s Blessing Short Film
- MAL rating: 8.45
- Aired: Feb 12, 2025 (short film)
- Episodes: 1
- Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural
Heaven Official’s Blessing Short Film is a beautifully animated mini-donghua that dropped for the series’ fourth anniversary—about 7–10 minutes long, not a full movie. It gives us a tender, intimate scene between Xie Lian and Hua Cheng, with impressive visuals and atmosphere that fans loved—especially the chemistry and soundtrack.

Praised for its art and emotional beats, the animation felt a bit stiff compared to the main series, likely due to its short runtime. That said, the English-sub version finally showed the flags we hoped for—a more explicit tone to their relationship than in the TV seasons.

This short is perfect for TGCF fans craving more Xie Lian and Hua Cheng moments. Soaked in emotion and romance, it’s worth hunting down even if it’s not a full arc.

7. Ne Zha 2
- MAL rating: 8.45
- Aired: March 21, 2025
- Episodes: Movie
- Genres: Action, Fantasy, Adventure
Ne Zha 2 (aka Ne Zha 2: The Demon Child Storms the Sea) storms back into cinemas on Lunar New Year 2025, continuing the epic tale from the first smash hit. Directed and written by 饺子 (Jiao Zi) and produced by Chengdu Coco Animation, this sequel picks up after Ne Zha and Ao Bing survive the chaos—but their bodies are destroyed. Enter Master Taiyi Zhenren and the legendary Seven-Color Lotus that might rebuild them, all while they face off against the vengeful Dragon King and new threats.

Chinese audiences have embraced it, from an 8.5 on Douban to near-perfect scores on Maoyan and Taopiaopiao. It’s a visual spectacle with wuxia-level fight scenes and heart-tugging themes about destiny, loyalty, and selfhood. Globally, it’s shattered records—earning over US$2 billion and becoming the highest-grossing animated and non-English film ever. Reddit r/boxoffice data shows its sixth weekend pulled nearly US$40 million, placing it among the top global blockbusters like Avatar.

8. Medalist
- MAL rating: 8.38
- Aired: January 5, 2025 – March 30, 2025
- Episodes: 13
- Genres: Sports, Drama, Slice of Life
Medalist is a fresh sports anime that dropped in early 2025, and it’s been catching a lot of attention. It’s about Inori, a determined fifth grader chasing her dream of becoming an Olympic figure skating champ, with Tsukasa, her former pro skater turned coach, guiding her along the way. The show’s got this great mix of heartfelt moments and realistic sports action that feels genuine without over-dramatizing.

The anime adaptation, done by ENGI, aired from January to March with 13 episodes and is available globally on Disney+. Its success and relatively high ratings come from how well it captures the pressure, passion, and challenges of competitive skating, making it much more than just flashy routines. Thus, if you’re into sports stories that balance emotional depth with solid character growth, Medalist is definitely worth a watch.

9. Dr. Stone: Science Future
- MAL rating: 8.24
- Aired: January 9, 2025 – ongoing
- Episodes: 12 (planned)
- Genres: Sci-Fi, Adventure, Shonen
Dr. Stone: Science Future is the fourth and final season of the Dr. Stone anime series, premiering on January 9, 2025. The season is divided into three cours, with the first cour consisting of 12 episodes that concluded on March 27, 2025. The second cour is scheduled to premiere on July 10, 2025.

The anime adaptation continues to follow Senku Ishigami and his companions as they embark on a journey to the Americas to gather materials essential for their space program. The series maintains its focus on scientific innovation and character development, with Studio TMS Entertainment handling the animation production.

Dr. Stone teamed up with Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) for their 2025 White Paper on Science and Innovation. They even released a special visual featuring Senku to celebrate the collab, showing just how much the series has inspired interest in science and creativity.

10. Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc
- MAL rating: 8.23
- Aired: April 5, 2025 – June 28, 2025
- Episodes: 13
- Genres: Dark Fantasy, Mystery, Supernatural

15 Best Side Anime Characters That Stole the Show
Best side anime characters… sometimes the main character isn’t always the fans’ first choice. Some of the side anime characters outdo the main character in certain or multiple categories and win the fans’ favor, be it that their character build is more complex or they are just more likable. Here are 15 of the best side anime characters that are more famous than the main character of their respective series.

15. Rengoku Kyojuro (Demon Slayer: Mugen Train)

Rengoku Kyojuro might’ve only been around for a short time in Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, but he made a huge impact. The Flame Hashira is all about passion, strength, and unshakable will, which makes him impossible not to love. He’s got that over-the-top, larger-than-life energy, but there’s also a deep, sincere side to him that shows in his dedication to protecting others.

His death was gut-wrenching, but it cemented his place as one of the most memorable characters in the series. Rengoku’s not just about power — he’s what gives Mugen Train its soul.

14. Gilgamesh (the Fate series)

The self-proclaimed “King of Heroes” has an ego as big as his legendary vault of treasures. In the Fate series, he’s not your typical villain; he’s got charisma, style, and a twisted sense of superiority that makes him both infuriating and mesmerizing.

With his god-like powers and endless pride, he’s the kind of character who just oozes confidence. Whether you love or hate him, you can’t help but respect how unforgettable Gilgamesh is.

13. Killua Zoldyck (HxH)

Killua Zoldyck may have started as a seemingly cold, assassin-turned-friend, but he quickly became one of the most beloved characters in Hunter x Hunter. He’s got all the skills — super fast, incredibly strong, and highly intelligent — making him far more popular than the series’s MC, Gon Freecss. This is reflected not only on MAL (#6) but also in nearly every popularity ranking poll.

His bond with Gon is a huge part of the story, but Killua’s struggles with his family, his own fears, and finding out who he really is make him more than just a sidekick. With his humor, smarts, and occasional vulnerable moments, Killua’s way more than just Gon’s buddy — he’s a main character in his own right.

12. Roy Mustang (FMA)

Roy Mustang is the definition of cool under pressure. A flame alchemist with sharp eyes, sharper wit, Roy always has a plan simmering beneath the surface. In Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward may be the main character, but Mustang commands the screen with every snap of his fingers.

His iconic fire-based attacks are rivaled only by his rich character development, which shines brightest in moments of loss, vengeance, and sacrifice.

11. Levi Ackerman (AoT)

“Humanity’s strongest soldier” basically became the face of the franchise for many. Levi is certainly the coolest human in the entire series. People watched just for his fights and his no-nonsense attitude. His fanbase? Huge! Ranked #3 on MAL, he surpassed not only the protagonist but also fan favorites like Killua Zoldyck, L Lawliet, and Roronoa Zoro.

Despite a limited backstory at first, his presence was magnetic—every scene with the shortie carried weight, precision, and quiet intensity. From his iconic spinning slash to his ruthless efficiency against Titans and humans alike, he became the benchmark for badassery in anime.

10. Esdeath (Akame ga Kill)

Though technically a villain and side character, Esdeath often felt like the true center of attention whenever she appeared.
- Charisma? Off the charts.
- Power? Broken.
- Romantic obsession with the MC? Wildly unhinged but oddly captivating.
- Presence? Every time she showed up, you knew things were about to get serious.
She’s not just memorable — Esdeath became one of the most iconic female antagonists in anime. A lot of fans admit they were more emotionally invested in her than even Tatsumi or Akame.

9. Gojou Satoru (JJK)

“The strongest sorcerer alive” — Gojo Satoru doesn’t just enter a scene, he owns it. From the second he appears in Jujutsu Kaisen, his blindfolded swagger, absurd power level, and chaotic energy make him impossible to ignore. Fans were instantly drawn to his mix of goofy teacher vibes and terrifying combat dominance.

His fights are cinematic, his attitude unbothered, and his presence is electrifying. He’s the kind of character who turns a great series into a phenomenon. Even with Yuji as the MC, Gojo often feels like the heartbeat of the show — cool, mysterious, and infinitely meme-worthy. A true fan-favorite.

8. Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Many times, I even forget that Atsushi is the main character — the supporting characters in this anime are just so much more interesting! My personal favorite is Dazai, so I went with him.

He loves cracking jokes, but his humor is actually hiding something much darker. He used to be in the Port Mafia, and his past is filled with things that still haunt him. He hides all that pain behind his carefree attitude, but you can tell it’s always there.

His intelligence and unpredictable nature make him exciting to watch, but it’s his emotional struggle that really makes him interesting. Dazai isn’t just comic relief — his character is deep, and once you see that, you can’t help but find him fascinating.

7. Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index)

The MC of A Certain Magical Index may be Touma, but Accelerator’s character arc is way more complex and fun to watch.

Accelerator is the kind of character you love to hate at first. He’s known as the strongest esper in Academy City, with crazy powers that let him manipulate vectors, meaning he can control everything from force to speed.

At the start, he’s a real jerk, acting all cold and ruthless. But as the series goes on, you start to see a more human side to him. He’s not just a villain, and you can tell he’s dealing with some serious inner struggles. In fact, his transformation is one of the best parts of the Toaru series.

6. Yuno Gasai (The Future Diary)

When someone mentions Future Diary, the average fan doesn’t immediately think of Yukiteru Amano, the main character, but rather the female lead of the story — Yuno Gasai.

Yuno was elected to be the series’ most famous character by the show’s loyal fanbase. At some point, even people who have never heard of The Future Diary knew of the yandere Yuno meme. I think we all can agree that Yuno is the best Yandere, respectively.

5. Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia)

Yes, Deku is cute and a good character, but fans have shown more support and love to one of the side anime characters, Todoroki.

Shoto originally had a cold, aloof personality stemming from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. He reminds me of Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender so much. We need this precious cinnamon roll to keep gaining friends and learning to connect.

4. L Lawliet (Death Note)

The showdown between L and Kira, namely Light Yagami, was a masterpiece. An intellectual exchange between two young men left the fans completely dazzled. Fans were left glued to their screen and noses buried in the manga to see the battle of the minds between the two.

Despite being the second protagonist, his fame isn’t less than that of the main protagonist, Light Yagami. In fact, likely, L had already exceeded Light Yagami in the fans’ hearts. If you look at cosplays, L is certainly portrayed more. And fandom sites have more theories and headcanons for L than for other characters.

3. Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom)

Fans seemed to love Karma and gush over him more than the other characters, including the main character, Nagisa. He appears lazy and a troublemaker at first, but soon you see that he’s actually kind and hardworking.

2. Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler)

Black Butler follows Ciel Phantomhive, but the real star of the show is Sebastian, his butler. To be fair, they’re kind of co-stars, but Ciel is definitely the protagonist, while Sebastian mostly just does his bidding. But Sebastian is one hell of a butler—so of course, fans are going to love him!

1. Megumin (KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!)

I would be surprised if you didn’t at least recognize this character, Megumin, from Konosuba. Otherwise known as God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World. She is an icon in her red outfit and a waifu of many. The actual main character isn’t mentioned or seems to be beloved by fans as much. But Megumin, despite her flaws, is.

What do you think? Do you like these side anime characters more than the main ones? Who else should be on this list? Let us know in the comments below!

As always,

Keep Smiling!

10 Anime Cosplay Costumes You Can Do Right Now

10 Anime Cosplay Costume You Can Do Right Now Cosplay is an escape. So many talented cosplayers have shown off their skills. Us otakus have little hope of copying them and recreating iconic looks. But here you can find GREAT deals on some of the best cosplays and make them look complete!

Anime Cosplay Costume

1.
Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail Cosplay: Natsu

Natsu is one of my favorite characters in Fairy Tail. A friend of mine went ahead and did a gender-bend version of him and I went as Lucy to the Salt Lake City Comic-con. We had tons of photos taken and it was such a blast! Not to mention the range of characters to choose from are endless. There are so many ships, OTP’s, and characters that it makes this anime cosplay costume so easy to do!

2.
Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan: Levi

Of course, Attack on Titan has risen in popularity, especially with the release of the ~~second~~ third season. The music is fantastic, and the characters are well-developed. I can’t wait to see more, especially with the cliffhanger they left us with! This anime cosplay costume has remained a cult classic for years and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. It’s almost up there with One Punch Man and One Piece.

3.
Blue Exorcist

Blue Exorcist: Rin

Another favorite is Blue Exorcist. Rin reminds me so much of Gray Fullbuster (Fairy Tail) that I had to do a comparison piece. This is one of those anime shows that you expect to just be fluffy and it turns out to be one of those that makes me sob into your bowl of Cheetos.

4.
Vocaloid

Now I know Vocaloid isn’t an anime, but tons of people love to cosplay Miku Hatsune!

Personally, I just love the style. If I had more bravery, I would wear something like this daily out to the store or the park. Sadly, right now the only place I can wear it is to other anime cons or my backyard for photoshoots.

Hatsune Miku Cosplay

5.
Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran High School Host Club Cosplay: Haruhi Fujioka

And of course, Ouran High School Host Club. I LOVE this anime, and the manga is even better. Be on the lookout for the article: “Will Ouran High School Host Club Get a Second Season?”. Sidenote, the article was published! Go ahead and take a read at it.

6.
Seraph of The End

Another anime that I didn’t expect to hit me so hard. Epic in every aspect. I need to go find more fanfiction of this awesome show so I can get my fix.

Violet Evergarden

This is just one of those new anime cosplay costumes that people have just started to do. The anime itself is amazing and thought-provoking, the artwork is incredible and the soundtrack is something that you can listen to over and over again.

Black Butler

Who could forget the infamous scene where Ciel wore the pink dress? Though many of us were huge Sebastian fans, Ciel just has something about him that made him so likable.

Angels of Death

Seeing as how obsessed I am with Angels of Death, it’s only fitting that I put them in here as well. I love this anime that was made from an RPG game and the characters are so much to cosplay as!

Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir

And last but certainly not least, is Miraculous Ladybug! While technically not an anime, I include it since I have might have a slight obsession with this French Cartoon and see no reason to stop. The fanbase is huge and we are all desperately waiting for season 4 to come out. I made a DIY version of all of their outfits (civilian self and superhero self) if you want to find a cheaper, DIY version for these awesome characters! Link Here.
