Prepare your calendars, anime buffs.
The spring anime season delighted us with funny comedies, series with dynamic action scenes, and even impressive 3D animation. Here are the most captivating and memorable anime series from the spring season.
1. Witch Watch, 2025-…
The mischievous witch Nico has decided that her familiar will be her childhood friend Morihito, not a black cat or a crow. Morihito comes from an ancient line of oni who, according to legend, used to be familiars of witches and could transform from animals into people.
In the modern world, familiars are also needed to protect witches. So, Nico and Morihito's parents decided the two high school students should live together. It sounds like the plot of a quirky rom-com – and it's partly true.
2. To Be Hero X, 2025-...
In this world, becoming a hero is like becoming a superstar. Sign a contract, and a team of specialists will help you quickly rise to the top and gain power. The more famous you are, the more people believe in you, and therefore, the stronger your superpower becomes.
Every two years, the most talented and worthy superpower holders compete to become the new Hero X.
Lin Ling finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of events that make him a contender in the tournament. After accidentally finding himself at the scene of a popular hero's death, he becomes his replacement.
3. Apocalypse Hotel, 2025-...
In 2057, the world was struck by a mysterious threat: the air became unbreathable, forcing people to seek salvation outside of Earth.
A hundred years later, the planet has fallen into disrepair. Buildings are destroyed, wild animals roam the streets of former cities, and plants have overtaken concrete buildings. The Gingarou Hotel in Ginza is the only remaining structure that has retained its original appearance.
Autonomous robots maintain order in the building and await the return of people, but a century later, real aliens become the first guests instead.
4. Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho, 2025-...
At first glance, the new series may seem similar to Demon Slayer, as it tells the story of an older brother and his younger sister, who was transformed into a monster. However, with its measured atmosphere, the series is closer to Dororo.
A swordsman named Jinta left his home village to exterminate demons. This occurred after his younger sister, Suzune, killed someone important to him, revealing her demonic nature. Since that day, Jinta has traveled the world protecting ordinary people from monsters.
5. Wind Breaker Season 2, 2024-...
The plot introduces us to the reckless students of Furin High School who act as defenders of the city. Local residents turn to them for help, and other gangs try to avoid them. However, sometimes conflicts cannot be avoided.
Then, fists and the desire to put opponents in their place are used to defend their territory and reputation. The second season begins with the adaptation of the 42nd chapter of the manga, in which the Furin High School students battle the Keel gang.
