Among these, four series stand out, promising impactful stories and high audiovisual quality: 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 so you don't miss any details of these highly anticipated releases. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners IIRevenge and Redemption in Night City One of the biggest bombshells at 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 revamped creative team with Kai Ikarashi as director, Masahiko Otsuka on musical composition, and Ichigo Kanno on character design. This new installment, consisting of ten episodes, will focus on an untold story that will explore themes of redemption and revenge, moving beyond the original narrative of the first season. Although it does not yet have a specific date, it is 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 franchise's popularity and the high expectations for this continuation. Sugar Sugar RuneThe Magical Return of Chocolat and Vanilla To mark the 20th anniversary of Moyoco Anno's original manga, Sugar Sugar Rune returns to life with an innovative and modern project produced by Studio Khara, famous for its work on Evangelion. The presentation at Anime Expo 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 be at the helm of the future series. This new anime is neither a direct sequel nor a remake, but a visually innovative reinterpretation in CG animation. The project aims to captivate both the new generation and long-time fans, maintaining the magical and charming essence of protagonists Chocolat and Vanilla. The release date is scheduled for sometime in 2026.

David Production is in charge of the production, with Yasuhiro Kimura and Hideya Takahashi as directors and Toshiyuki Kato supervising the project. The script is adapted by Yasuko Kobayashi, while the music is by Yugo Kanno. The character design, by Daisuke Tsumagari, was shown in the official promotional image.

Projects announced at Anime Expo 2025 Anime Expo 2025 has shown that anime doesn't just thrive on big franchises: new titles based on webcomics, cult manga, or works by independent creators have made headlines with specific release dates, confirmed studios, and previews that excite veterans and newcomers alike. Below, we rigorously review four key announcements—plus a bonus of indie projects—that will be coming to television, streaming platforms, or YouTube between late 2025 and 2026. BÂAN – The Boundaries of Adulthood — Gigguk's anime debut Producer: Garnt “Gigguk” ManeetaphoDirector: Yoshimitsu Ohashi (also worked on Code Geass Rozé of the Recapture)Music: Kevin Penkin (participated in Made in Abyss)Studio: Studio DaisyRelease Date: August 24, 2025 (first in Japanese cinemas; Gigguk's YouTube premiere will be one week later, with a documentary)Voices: Haruna Mikawa (Rin) and Shōya Ishige (Daichi) Synopsis and updates:Euthania and Japan are connected by a dimensional portal.

But a devastating review from a streamer—who turns out to be her 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. Production has completed its dubbing phase and enters musical post-production this summer.

Kaya-Chan wa Kowakunai Japanese anime continues to surprise with original and disturbing proposals, 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 chilling, offering an experience that mixes 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 cute coexist in an unsettling 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 has been immediate.The preview presents a contrast as striking as it is alluring: 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 psychological horror and alternative anime followers.What initially appears to be a sweet story set in a kindergarten gradually 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 preschool-aged girl who, for unexplained reasons, is shunned by her peers. Although she appears to be a normal child, her presence causes discomfort.Her new caregiver, Miss Chie, perceives 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 involved in a world where logic is not enough to explain what is happening. This story offers a different approach within horror anime, moving away from typical settings such as haunted houses or cursed institutes, and placing fear in a seemingly harmless environment: a daycare.Childlike 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 release date has not yet been revealed, the series is expected to debut in late 2025, probably in the fall or winter season, if the current pace of promotion is maintained. The character design stands out for its charming simplicity, in clear contrast to the dark tone that is revealed in the trailer. This aesthetic strategy allows the viewer to lower their guard, only to be surprised by the intensity of the supernatural twists that the narrative presents. A phenomenon anticipated by the anime community Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai has begun to generate conversation on social media and specialized forums. Many fans point 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 similar to other recent productions that have challenged the conventions of horror anime, combining sweet visual elements 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 proposals in the current landscape. Its ability to intertwine adorable elements with a dark and paranormal background could establish it as a cult series among genre lovers. With a trailer that has already left its mark with its disturbing tenderness, all that remains is to await the official announcement of its release date. For those who enjoy psychological horror with layers of emotional ambiguity, this will be an unmissable event. The promise of a narrative that combines the tender and the terrifying in a story that disquiets and moves in equal measure is, without a doubt, one of anime's big bets for the coming months. Don't forget to visit our online store, with a wide variety of anime, manga, games, movies, series and much more.

Marvel 2025 Calendar: MCU-changing releases in ...
Marvel News 2025 Marvel Studios is going all in on 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. An essential calendar for MCU fans and contemporary superhero cinema. Fantastic Four: First Steps The awaited return of Marvel's First Family has a date: “Fantastic Four: First Steps” premieres in Spanish cinemas on July 25, marking the beginning of its role within Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This new version, directed by Matt Shakman, unlike previous installments, omits the classic cosmic origin accident: 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 devourer of worlds, appears, accompanied by a female Silver Surfer (played by Julia Garner). The official footage has been adjusted to 115 minutes, cutting 15 minutes from the initially announced duration. This change is a creative decision to avoid secondary subplots and strengthen the narrative pace, especially around secondary characters, to give greater cohesion to the whole. Marvel seems to be taking note of previous criticisms about recent films with excessive filler and thus seeks a more condensed structure that keeps the focus on the central threat and group dynamics, without unnecessary deviations. Filmed at Pinewood Studios, 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 with pastel colors and retro architecture.The music, by Michael Giacchino, provides a nostalgic and heroic tone. Everything indicates that this film will be a love letter to the Marvel legacy and classic superhero cinema. Eyes of Wakanda: the new animated MCU series On August 6, Disney+ premieres Eyes of Wakanda, an animated miniseries from Marvel Studios that expands the Black Panther universe from an unprecedented perspective: The story follows the Hatut Zeraze, elite agents tasked with preventing Vibranium from falling into the wrong hands.Instead of focusing on Wakandan royalty, this production spans from the end of the Bronze Age to the present day, recounting how different operatives infiltrated around the world to recover what is theirs. Each episode offers a glimpse into a different historical era, revealing the technological evolution and geopolitical tensions surrounding Wakanda and its isolationist policy. Conceived by Ryan Coogler and directed by Todd Harris, the animation is handled 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 is directly integrated into the official MCU timeline. Marvel Zombies: animated horror and infected superheroes On October 3, Disney+ presents Marvel Zombies, a four-episode 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 shows former Avengers turned conscious zombies, while from Wakanda, a new resistance led by Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, and Red Guardian fights to contain the plague and find a cure. The series offers raw animation, dark humor, somber palettes, and Laura Karpman's soundtrack that evokes classic zombie cinema, with impactful scenes and the posing of ethical dilemmas about heroic identity and moral corruption.Marvel Zombies is a bold and disturbing venture by the MCU, perfect for the Halloween season. Thunderbolts: available in digital and physical format and soon on Disney+ After its cinema release in May, Thunderbolts can now be enjoyed at home. While it is expected to arrive on Disney+ in late July or early August, it has been available in digital format since July 1, and its physical release will be on July 29, with a SteelBook edition for collectors, deleted scenes, commentary from director Jake Schreier, and exclusive content about Sentry, The Void, and Bob. The story follows a group of MCU anti-heroes assembled by the government for covert missions. With a dark tone, satirical humor, and moral exploration, the film offers a different approach to traditional superheroes. With cinema releases and Disney+ content, Marvel Studios strengthens its global presence in 2025. Each release combines visual innovation, more compact narratives, and unprecedented thematic explorations within the MCU, demonstrating its ability to renew itself and maintain public interest in superhero entertainment beyond the conventional.
