Among these, four series stand out, promising compelling stories and high-quality audiovisual content: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II, Sugar Sugar Rune, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, and GATE 2: Tides of Conflict. In this article, we review the planned dates, creative teams, and essential synopses to ensure you don't miss a thing about these highly anticipated releases. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II Revenge and redemption in Night City One of the big bombshells of Anime Expo 2025 was the confirmation of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II, an independent series that returns to the futuristic and dystopian universe of Night City. Produced by Studio TRIGGER, the second season features a renewed creative team with Kai Ikarashi directing, Masahiko Otsuka composing music, and Ichigo Kanno designing characters. This new installment, which will consist of ten episodes, will focus on a brand-new story that will explore themes of redemption and revenge, leaving behind the original narrative of the first season. Although it doesn't have a specific date yet, it's expected to premiere sometime in 2026, exclusively on Netflix. The overwhelming success of the first season, winner of the Best Anime of the Year 2023 award, confirms the popularity of the franchise and the high expectations generated by this sequel. Sugar Sugar Rune The magical return of Chocolat and Vanilla To mark the 20th anniversary of Moyoco Anno's original manga, Sugar Sugar Rune is back with an innovative and modern project produced by Studio Khara, famous for its work on Evangelion. The Anime Expo presentation included a special short film, Sugar Sugar Rune: Les deux sorcières, a prequel supervised by the author and created by Yusuke Matsui, who will also direct the upcoming series. This new anime is neither a direct sequel nor a remake, but rather a visually innovative reinterpretation in CG animation. The project aims to appeal to both the new generation and long-time fans, while maintaining the magical and enchanting essence of the protagonists Chocolat and Vanilla. The release date is planned for sometime in 2026. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run The wildest race begins The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime series continues with the long-awaited adaptation of the manga's seventh episode, Steel Ball Run, officially announced at Anime Expo 2025. Set in 1890, this saga tells the frenetic race across the American West starring Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli. David Production is in charge of the production, with Yasuhiro Kimura and Hideya Takahashi directing, and Toshiyuki Kato supervising the project. The script is adapted by Yasuko Kobayashi, and the music is by Yugo Kanno. The character designs, by Daisuke Tsumagari, were shown in the official promotional image. Although a release date is still unknown, a special global streaming event has been announced for September 23, 2025, where more details and, possibly, the official date will be revealed. GATE 2: Tides of Conflict A sequel to celebrate a decade Ten years after the first season, GATE returns with a new season titled Tides of Conflict. The official announcement came at Anime Expo 2025, where it was confirmed that the creative team will include Toru Takahashi as director, Tatsuhiko Urahata on script composition, and Shigeru Fujita on character designs. This sequel will delve deeper into the original story based on Takumi Yanai's novels, centering on the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the portal that connects Tokyo to a medieval world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and renewed conflict. Although there's no set release date, production is underway, promising to once again blend action, fantasy, and geopolitics in an expanded universe. Big and promising returns The Anime Expo 2025 reveals hint at promising years ahead for anime. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II returns with a darker, more mature tone; Sugar Sugar Rune revives magic with a modern twist; JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run continues its epic saga with new challenges; and GATE 2 revisits its blend of fantasy and action with renewed conflicts. Each project demonstrates the creative and technical diversity of Japanese anime, generating great expectations for 2025 and 2026. Do you want to watch any of these animes?

Anime Expo 2025 has proven that anime isn't just about big franchises: new titles based on webcomics, cult manga, or works by independent creators have grabbed headlines with specific dates, confirmed studios, and sneak peeks that have excited veterans and newcomers alike. Below, we review, with verified accuracy, four key announcements—plus a bonus of indie projects—coming to television, streaming platforms, and YouTube between late 2025 and 2026. BÂAN – The Boundaries of Adulthood — Gigguk's anime debut Producer: Garnt “Gigguk” Maneetapho Direction: Yoshimitsu Ohashi (Who also worked on Code Geass Rozé of the Recapture) Music: Kevin Penkin (who has participated in Made in Abyss) Studio: Studio Daisy Release date: August 24, 2025 (first in Japanese theaters; Gigguk's YouTube premiere will follow a week later, with a documentary) Voices: Haruna Mikawa (Rin) and Shōya Ishige (Daichi) Synopsis and news: Euthania and Japan are connected by a dimensional portal. Rin and Daichi, two young people who don't fit in their home worlds, cross the border in search of identity. The teaser shown at Anime Expo highlights a painterly style that blends digital watercolors with subtle 3D backgrounds and a melancholic string soundtrack. The project is part of GeeXProduction, the new division of the GeeXPlus agency for direct-to-Internet anime. Let's Play — contemporary romance and video games Original authorship: Leeanne M. Krecic (Mongie) Study and equipment: OLM; directed by Daiki Tomiyasu (who also worked on Pokémon Sun & Moon), written by Aya Matsui (who participated in Marmalade Boy), character design by Saki Ebisawa, and soundtrack by Cornish Featured Voices: Kana Hanazawa (Sam Young), Shimba Tsuchiya (Marshall Law), Yūichi Nakamura (Charles Jones), Tomokazu Sugita (Link Hudson) Release date: October 2025 (Fuji TV's +Ultra block, with simultaneous broadcast on Crunchyroll in Spain) Synopsis and news: Sam Young almost saw his dream come true: releasing his first video game, Ruminate. But a devastating review from a streamer—who happens to be his new neighbor—unleashes a torrent of social anxiety, professional challenges, and romantic entanglements. The new trailer confirms a romantic comedy tone with touches of realistic drama, modern animation, and the promise of exploring themes like self-acceptance and gamer culture without falling into clichés. The production has completed its dubbing phase and will enter musical post-production this summer. Soul Mart — Demons and Deadly Drinks in 3D Creator: DillonGoo Studios Format: 12 episodes, 3D animation in Blender Release date: January 2026 on DillonGoo's YouTube channel (with Spanish subtitles confirmed) Synopsis and news: In nearby Tokyo, graffiti artist Kieru Kamiya discovers his favorite energy drink will kill him if he falls asleep. Along with cashier Sarina and unemployed demon Reyk, he investigates the arrival of lethal products at his convenience store. The trailer dazzles with fluid celshading and cinematic lighting effects. DillonGoo opts for episodic narrative with cliffhangers and mobile-friendly editing. Junji Ito: Crimson — The master of horror manga returns to the screen Based on different stories by Junji Ito Study and equipment: Although the studio, among other details, has yet to be revealed, we know that the opening theme song "Karasuageha" will be performed by Yumi Matsutoya. Release date: Pending announcement ; although internal sources speak of April 2026 with a global simulcast on Crunchyroll. Synopsis and news: Following Collection (2018) and Maniac (2023), Crimson promises a standalone story format that delves into the more psychological elements of Ito's horror. At the Japan Expo in Paris, a teaser was shown with a reddish palette and an oppressive setting full of organic textures. Crunchyroll confirmed in Los Angeles that it will have simultaneous international rights and that the Spanish dubbing will be recorded in Madrid. Even though the cast has not yet been confirmed, the production has already completed the storyboard for ten self-contained episodes. Otachan! Rabbit Season — The 90s OVA Spirit Resurrected Studio: OtakuVersus Release date: August 2026 , free streaming on YouTube and DRM-free download for patrons Synopsis and news: Otachan and her camerawoman Cam agree to work at a bunny girl bar, but a run-in with the yakuza plunges them into an underworld of mad scientists, fight clubs, and ruthless killers. With only 24 hours to survive, the series promises stylized violence, dark humor, and references to late 1980s anime. The team will use paper-drawn layouts and digital coloring, reclaiming the classic OVA finish. News that keeps coming From the romantic comedy Let's Play to the visceral horror of Junji Ito's Crimson, Anime Expo 2025 confirmed that the anime scene is diversifying in both broadcast formats and themes. Major studios and independent creatives share the spotlight, and platforms like Crunchyroll and YouTube open the door to simultaneous releases for the Spanish public. 2025 and 2026 are shaping up to be years packed with fresh content connecting traditional industry and web-based projects.

Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai: psychological horror wi...
Japanese anime continues to surprise with original and disturbing offerings, and Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing titles of the season. This new series, developed by East Fish Studio, promises to combine the adorable with the creepy, offering an experience that blends psychological horror and kawaii aesthetics in a unique way. Aimed at fans of titles like Dark Gathering, the story introduces us to a world where the supernatural and the tender coexist in a disturbing way. A trailer that baffles and fascinates The first official trailer for Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai was recently released, and the reaction among horror anime fans was immediate. The trailer presents a contrast as stark as it is seductive: smooth and endearing animation, typical of the children's slice-of-life genre, accompanied by a murky and disturbing atmosphere that manifests through the protagonist's expressions and silences. The music, with innocent tones that gradually distort, increases the tension of a visual proposal that promises to be unique. This stylistic contrast has captured the attention of fans of psychological horror and alternative anime. What initially appears to be a tender story set in a kindergarten unravels into small details that suggest something sinister lurks beneath the surface. Synopsis: The mystery of a lonely girl Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai revolves around Kaya, a preschooler who, for inexplicable reasons, is shunned by her classmates. Although she appears to be a normal girl, her presence causes discomfort. Her new caregiver, Miss Chie, realizes that Kaya's behavioral problems are not simply a disciplinary issue: there is a strange energy around her, a kind of aura that transcends the rational. Soon, Chie will discover that the paranormal events surrounding Kaya are more real than they seem, and she will find herself immersed in a world where logic is not enough to explain what is happening. This story takes a different approach to horror anime, moving away from typical settings like haunted houses or cursed schools and placing fear in a seemingly harmless environment: a daycare. Childhood innocence serves here as a vehicle for a chilling narrative that plays with the limits of perception. Production and setting The project is being animated by East Fish Studio, a young studio that is committed to productions with high emotional and visual impact. Although the exact premiere date has not yet been revealed, the series is expected to debut in late 2025, likely during the fall or winter season, if the current promotion pace continues. The character design stands out for its charming simplicity, in stark contrast to the dark tone revealed in the trailer. This aesthetic strategy allows the viewer to let their guard down, only to be surprised by the intensity of the supernatural twists the narrative presents. A phenomenon anticipated by the anime community Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai has begun generating buzz on social media and specialized forums. Many fans are pointing to it as the next great psychological horror title with its own identity, thanks to its disruptive visual style and narrative potential. The work is in a similar vein to other recent productions that have challenged the conventions of horror anime, combining sweet visuals with disturbing plots. Terror with a face of tenderness The anime "Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai" is shaping up to be one of the most original offerings on the scene today. Its ability to intertwine adorable elements with a dark, paranormal undertone could make it a cult favorite among fans of the genre. With a trailer that has already left its mark with its disturbing tenderness, all that remains is to wait for the official announcement of its release date. For those who enjoy psychological horror with layers of emotional ambiguity, this will be a must-see. The promise of a narrative that combines tenderness and terror in a story that is equally unsettling and moving is, without a doubt, one of the big anime shows for the coming months.

Marvel Studios is investing heavily in the second half of 2025 with strategic releases that expand and redefine its audiovisual universe. From movie theaters to Disney+, it presents films, series, and adult animation that reinforce the legacy of its most iconic characters. A must-have calendar for fans of the MCU and contemporary superhero cinema. Fantastic Four: First Steps The long-awaited return of Marvel's First Family now has a date: "Fantastic Four: First Steps" opens in Spanish theaters on July 25, marking the beginning of their role within Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This new version, directed by Matt Shakman, unlike previous installments, omits the classic cosmic accident of origin: the heroes are already established as a team—Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss Bachrach). Their routine is disrupted when Galactus (Ralph Ineson), the world-devouring superhero, appears, accompanied by a female Silver Surfer (played by Julia Garner). The official footage has been adjusted to 115 minutes, trimming 15 minutes from the initially announced running time. This change responds to a creative decision to avoid secondary subplots and strengthen the narrative pacing, especially around supporting characters, to give greater cohesion to the overall story. Marvel appears to be taking note of previous criticisms about recent films being overstuffed with filler and is thus seeking a more condensed structure that maintains focus on the central threat and the group dynamics, without unnecessary digressions. Shot at Pinewood Studios in Oviedo and Atlanta, the film stands out for its practical effects, the use of physical models of the Fantasticar, real costumes, and a production design featuring pastel colors and retro architecture. The music, by Michael Giacchino, provides a nostalgic and heroic tone. Everything points to this film being a love letter to the Marvel legacy and classic superhero cinema. Eyes of Wakanda: The MCU's new animated series On August 6, Disney+ premieres Eyes of Wakanda, an animated miniseries from Marvel Studios that expands the Black Panther universe from a new perspective: The story follows the Hatut Zeraze, elite agents tasked with preventing Vibranium from falling into the wrong hands. Rather than focusing on Wakandan royalty, this production spans from the end of the Bronze Age to the present day, chronicling how various operatives infiltrated the world to reclaim what is theirs. Each episode offers a glimpse into a different historical era, revealing the technological evolution and geopolitical tensions surrounding Wakanda and its policy of isolation. Conceived by Ryan Coogler and directed by Todd Harris, the animation is by Flying Bark, with a visual style that fuses hand-drawn lines, African-American aesthetics, and graphic novel textures. Eyes of Wakanda will consist of four episodes (120 minutes in total) and integrates directly into the official MCU timeline. Marvel Zombies: Animated Horror and Infected Superheroes On October 3, Disney+ presents Marvel Zombies, a four-part animated miniseries directed by Bryan Andrews and written by Zeb Wells, which adapts Robert Kirkman's comic with a bloody, adult, and post-apocalyptic approach. Set after a quantum virus outbreak, the story sees former Avengers transformed into sentient zombies, while in Wakanda, a new resistance led by Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi and the Red Guardian fight to contain the plague and find a cure. The series features raw animation, dark humor, somber palettes, and a soundtrack by Laura Karpman that evokes classic zombie cinema, with shocking scenes and the posing of ethical dilemmas about heroic identity and moral corruption. Marvel Zombies is a brave and disturbing take on the MCU, perfect for the Halloween season. Thunderbolts: Available in digital and physical formats and coming soon to Disney+ Following its theatrical release in May, Thunderbolts is now available to enjoy at home, although it is expected to arrive on Disney+ in late July or early August. It has been available digitally since July 1st and its physical release will take place on July 29th, with a SteelBook collector's edition, deleted scenes, commentary from director Jake Schreier, and exclusive content about the Sentry, The Void and Bob. The story follows a group of MCU antiheroes assembled by the government for covert missions. With a dark tone, satirical humor, and moral exploration, the film offers a different take on traditional superheroes. With theatrical releases and Disney+, Marvel Studios is strengthening its global presence in 2025. Each release combines visual innovation, tighter narratives, and thematic explorations unprecedented within the MCU, demonstrating its ability to renew itself and maintain audience interest in superhero entertainment beyond the conventional.
