I suppose most if not all anime fans are familiar with the MyAnimeList website. One of my otaku friends introduced this site to me around 15 years ago. I used to have an account, but I could no longer find it. So, I created a new one two years ago. I still need to organize my list because there were tons of anime I've watched in the past that I still haven't listed.
Anyway, I want to share some screenshots of the 2025 animated movies and series that are already on my list. I may add more next year.
Dr. Stone: Science Future: It's the first installment of Dr. Stone's final season! I have already read the manga, but this arc is also really exciting! <3
Medalist: I chose it because it seems interesting and it's sports! hahaha
Mononoke: Hinezumi: I just watched the first installment of this movie earlier this month, so knowing that there's a continuation made me excited.
Shinran: Jinsei no Mokuteki: I find this interesting since I'm into Japanese culture and history. Another good thing is that it's set in the Heian period which is my favorite era in Japan.
I haven't selected any movie or series for summer 2025, so it's still to be updated.
On this list, there are mostly sequels to the anime series that I'm following.
Among them, I'm most excited to watch Dia no Ace Act II: Zoku-hen. I recently rewatched the prequel and I'm aware of the upcoming matches since I also read the manga. It's going to be amazing.
I'm thinking of rewatching HeroAca from the beginning before watching the final season. I haven't watched the prequel yet, so maybe I'll just binge-watch everything once the final season is completed. :)
The only anime that isn't a sequel to a previous series I've watched on this list is another historical Japanese anime called Shabake. I find it interesting not only because it's related to Japanese history, but my favorite Japanese singer Tegoshi Yuya starred in a drama based on the same novel. I wasn't able to watch it, but it would be awesome to see the animated version.
These two movies don't have a specific release date, yet. However, I'd surely watch them. Of course, I love Haikyuu! and I just can't miss this movie... and as for Tsurubamiiro no Nagiko-tachi, it's also another historical Japanese anime. I'm learning a lot of information from anime and my students, so it's really fun. It's a great topic for conversation in some of my classes as well.
There aren't a lot on my list yet, but they'll surely grow in the coming days. hahah I just hope I'll have enough free time to watch all of them.
Thanks for reading and see you around! (^^,)/
