The anime release schedule for July and August 2025 promises a season packed with variety, talent, and intense excitement.
With new titles that not only stand out for their originality, but also for the backing of renowned studios and creators, below is a list of must-see anime this season.
Silent Witch
This new anime will premiere on July 4, 2025, on networks such as Tokyo MX, BS11, YTV, and TV Aichi; while in Spain it will be available on July 5 via Crunchyroll.
Based on the light novel Secrets of the Silent Witch by Matsuri Isora, the series follows Monica Everett, “the Silent Witch”: a shy mage capable of casting spells without uttering incantations.
After defeating a black dragon, the Seven Sages task him with secretly protecting the second prince in an academy filled with nobles, palace intrigue, and supernatural creatures; the mission blends mystery, humor, magical duels, and court politics.
The project is being developed by Studio Gokumi. Yasuo Iwamoto is directing, with Takaomi Kanasaki serving as chief director, scriptwriter, and sound supervisor. Cona Nitanda designs characters; Yoshinori Iwanaga creates monsters and artifacts; and the soundtrack is by Rina Tayama and Cygames, providing orchestration and ethereal pop.
Gachiakuta
It premieres on July 6 on Crunchyroll, with availability in Spain on the same day.
Based on Kei Urana's manga, this series combines intense action, punk aesthetics, social criticism, and dark fantasy.
Set in the Abyss, a brutal world where the marginalized are cast, Rudo—unjustly accused—is sent there and must fight to survive, uncover his past, and combat a corrupt system.
The production is being handled by Studio Bones, directed by Fumihiko Suganuma, with a script by Hiroshi and music by Taku Iwasaki.
The designs, by Satoshi Ishino, reflect a dirty, violent and visually unique universe.
Gachiakuta was born as a manga published in Spain by Norma in 2022 and is already an international phenomenon.
With wild battles, unique powers, and a message against discrimination and classism, it's shaping up to be a powerful anime.
Tougen Anki: Dark Demon Of Paradise
It's one of the most anticipated releases, with a July 11 release already confirmed. Its simultaneous streaming on platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, Prime Video, Anime Onegai, and Bandplay makes it one of the most accessible titles of the year worldwide.
Based on the manga by Yura Urushibara, this dark fantasy shonen tells the story of Shiki Ichinose, a young man who discovers his heritage as an Oni, a descendant of demons, and must face the Momotaro, ancient hunters.
Directed by Ato Nonaka and produced by Studio Hibari, the film features a script by Yukie Sugawara and music by Kohta Yamamoto. The character designs are by Ryoko Amisaki.
Tougen Anki reinterprets the Momotaro myth, reversing the roles of heroes and demons, and offers a story filled with action, revenge, darkness, inner conflict, and social commentary. It will also include an additional mini-anime, Onimomomomo.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity
It's Netflix's new high school romance anime, based on the manga by Saka Mikami. It premieres in Japan on July 5th and will arrive on Netflix globally on July 13th.
It tells the story of the silent relationship between Rintarō, a technical school student, and Kaoruko, a young woman from an elite school. United by their shyness and sensitivity, they discover love through small gestures.
Produced by CloverWorks and directed by Miyuki Kuroki, it features a script adapted by Rino Yamazaki and music by Moeki Harada. Its warm and realistic visual style, combined with a melancholic soundtrack, enhances the subdued emotion.
Two new gems from Yama Wayama:
“ Let's Go Karaoke! ” and “ Captivated, By You ”
Let's Go Karaoke! and Captivated, by You mark the highly anticipated anime debut of mangaka Yama Wayama, with two series set to air on TV Tokyo and affiliated networks, both produced by Doga Kobo.
The first, a slice-of-life musical yakuza comedy, premieres July 24 and follows Narita, a mobster who takes singing lessons from a high school student.
The second, arriving August 21, is an introspective school drama between two opposing teens who discover mutual acceptance.
Both adaptations are directed by Asami Nakatani, with character designs by Mai Matsuura and original music.
Based on manga by Beam Comics/Enterbrain, the series is looking to expand globally through simulcast and possible Spanish dubbing.
With a polished aesthetic, realistic setting, and great attention to emotional detail, they promise to be benchmarks for anime in 2025. They are human, tender, and original stories.
Presentations with the Doga Kobo and Beam Comics team are expected at Anime Expo in Los Angeles and at Comiket in Odaiba, Tokyo, in August.
With offerings spanning a wide variety of genres, this year's anime launches a new era in July rich in narrative and stylistic nuances.
