These titles are worth adding to your watchlist.

Watching an ongoing title means waiting for the release day every week, discussing the new episode with friends and knowing all the latest memes. We watched the most interesting anime of spring 2025 and tell you which ones are worth your attention.

1. Lazarus, 2025-...

Release Date: April 5, 2025

A brilliant doctor creates a drug that relieves humanity of pain. But after several years, the drug turns out to be a toxin that causes mutations.

Now people have only one month to find the mysterious doctor and obtain an antidote. This mission is entrusted to a team codenamed Lazarus.

Perhaps the most anticipated project of the season from a star-studded team. Produced by MAPPA, the studio that brought us Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe – the creator of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.

2. Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey, 2025-...

Release Date: April 7, 2025

The main character, Chika Suzugamori, is a talented manga artist on the verge of burnout. She truly loves drawing, but publishers keep refusing to buy her work.

One day, Chika decides to take a break and go in search of inspiration, letting her social media followers choose her destination. Thus begins her journey through Japan, where she learns to see beauty in simple things.

A leisurely and sweet series, similar in atmosphere and concept to Laid-Back Camp. It does not show the perfect Japan, but ordinary provincial towns, modest villages and places where tourists do not go.

3. To Be Hero X, 2025-...

Release Date: April 6, 2025

In this world, anyone can be a hero, as long as people believe in them and want to see them as a savior. However, public opinion also determines abilities, such as the ability to fly or teleport.

Therefore, every hero has his own PR team, which is responsible for his media image and reputation.

Lin Ling worked in such a team until he accidentally witnessed the suicide of the hero Nice. In order not to disappoint the public, Nice's PR team offers Lin Ling to be his replacement. Now the young man can fulfill his childhood dream – to be the best of the best, Hero X.

4. Anne Shirley, 2025-...

Release Date: April 5, 2025

The coming-of-age story of the dreamy and cheerful Anne, who has had her share of hardships. The girl is mistakenly taken in by a brother and sister: they need someone to do the housework, but they get an energetic dreamer.

Anne's irrepressible imagination is both her greatest asset and her greatest liability, but she learns to live with it. And she eventually finds the family and friends she has been missing.

Another interpretation of Anne of Green Gables, made with love for the original and respect for other adaptations of the novel. Compared to the Netflix series, the anime has a faster narrative pace, but this does not spoil the story at all.
