The Summer 2025 anime season has come to a close with the start of October. It was undoubtedly the best season of this year, with many great anime series, such as Dandadan, Gachiakuta, and Lord of Mysteries, all airing at once. Now it is time for anime fans to head into the fall 2025 anime season in full swing. Here are our curated picks for the final anime season of the year that are easily the must-watch fall anime in 2025.
10. Sanda
- Release Date: October 4, 2025
- Where to Stream: Prime Video
- Studio: Science SARU
Last season, Science SARU delivered one of the best anime adaptations, Dandadan. Now, they are back again with another adaptation of Sanda by Paru Itagaki, the creator of Beastars. Sanda sounds much like Santa, right? You are not wrong, as this anime revolves around a descendant of Santa, and it takes place in a dystopian Japan.
While Beastars is well known in the animanga communities, Sanda is relatively underrated. But it’s time for Science SARU to transform its popularity status. The first episode was promising, and we do not doubt that Sanda is the dark horse title of the fall 2025 anime season.
9. This Monster Wants to Eat Me
- Release Date: October 2, 2025
- Where to Stream: Crunchyroll
- Studio: Studio Lings
Hinako Yaotose is a High School girl who leads a depressed life. One day, she decides to become prey to a mermaid monster to end her life. However, the mermaid Shiori Oumi changes her mind to protect Hinako until she becomes an exquisite meal for her. Now, that perfectly sums up the strange title of this anime.
Although the plot sounds like it’s a mystery/thriller anime, it isn’t the case, as this anime is actually a Seinen Yuri (aka Girls Love) anime title. Reina Ueda (Reze in Chainsaw Man), Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa in AOT), and Ai Fairouz (Power in Chainsaw Man) play the main characters in this Girls Love anime. So, if you feel like you haven’t watched a Yuri anime in a while, This Monster Wants to Eat Me will keep you hooked.
8. Dusk Beyond the End of the World
- Release Date: October 3, 2025
- Where to Stream: HIDIVE and Prime Video
- Studio: P.A. Works
Tired of the same old-school romance or high school romance stories in anime? Then try picking up Dusk Beyond the End of the World, a sci-fi romance anime this fall season. Akira Himegami, a high school student, suddenly wakes up from cryogenic sleep after years and finds himself in a dystopian city torn by war.
In the future, romance between humans and robots becomes the norm, and Akira also finds a machine just like his girlfriend. What awaits Akira in this unpredictable future? P. A. Works is known for famous titles such as Charlotte, Buddy Daddies, Ya Boy Kongming!, etc, and this sci-fi romantic tale is shaping up to be one of their best adaptations now.

Scarlet el Vandimion’s (MC of this anime) life gets turned upside down when her fiancé cancels their long-awaited marriage. On top of that, the fiancé, Kyle, blames Scarlet and labels her as the villainess behind the failure of their relationship. The false accusations alter Scarlet’s life, and now she is on a revenge path against Kyle and his family.
Thus, this revenge drama is packed with enough comedy and action to entertain anime fans in the Fall 2025 season. It’s high time you start watching the beauty’s vengeance against her ex. This manga is known for its incredible art, and Lidenfilms is committed to bringing the best out of the source material.

Uma Musume: Cindrella Gray debuted earlier this year and already cemented its place as one of the best sports anime of this year. The first cour ended in June, and the anime made its much-awaited return in the fall 2025 season. Therefore, it’s time to watch Oguri Cap’s training to become the greatest horse girl she aspires to be every day.
This anime about horse girls has exploded in popularity since its release this year. If you haven’t watched this anime earlier this year, it is the right time for you to start this anime and catch up with the second part, which is going to be as amazing as the first.
5. Ranma 1/2 Season 2
- Release Date: October 5, 2025
- Where to Stream: Netflix

MAPPA Studios, known for Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and many other titles, brought back one of the classic anime Ranma 1/2 with a remake last year. The second season follows the life of Ranma as he struggles to lead a life after being cursed to turn into a girl upon touching cold water.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t watched the OG version of Ranma, as MAPPA Studios is remaking Ranma from scratch. This remake was the talk of the town when it aired last year, and it is time for Ranma 1/2 to get the fans excited with fantastic episodes in the second season. As the hype grows, this could be one of the best fall 2025 anime to come out this year.
4. To Your Eternity Season 3
- Release Date: October 4, 2025
- Where to Stream: Crunchyroll
- Studio: Studio Drive and Massket
The tale of an orb that became a young boy has been moving millions of fans since 2021. The second season of To Your Eternity ended adapting up until the Rentril arc. Now, the anime is making a comeback after two years to adapt the second act arcs. Studio Drive picked up the baton from Brain’s Base and made the second season.
For season 3, Drive teamed up with Studio Massket to faithfully adapt the manga, starting with the New World arc. If you are a fan of To Your Eternity, I don’t need to say anything. However, if you are new to this series, Yoshitoki Ooima’s supernatural drama will turn you into a fan instantly. To Your Eternity manga ended in June this year, so it is the perfect time to catch up to witness the conclusion soon in the anime.
3. Spy x Family Season 3
- Release Date: October 4, 2025
- Where to Stream: Crunchyroll and Netflix
- Studio: Wit Studio and Cloverworks
Spy x Family does not need any introduction, as Anya is known worldwide for her hilarious expressions at this point. The wait for Spy x Family season 3 was longer than the waiting period between the first seasons. But it was worth it in the end, as the Forger family is back in style to amuse us.
Picking up from the series left, the third season adapts the Friendship Schemes and Red Circus arcs. Thus, the most anticipated reveal of Twilight, aka Loid’s backstory, will happen in the ongoing season 3. Without a doubt, Spy x Family is a must-watch anime of the fall 2025 season, as it will end up as the best comedy anime of the year, as it has done time after time before.
2. One Punch Man Season 3
- Release Date: October 12, 2025
- Where to Stream: Crunchyroll and Netflix
- Studio: Studio J.C. Staff
One Punch Man season 3 is the most anticipated anime of the Fall 2025 season, out of all the other titles we have here, as OPM is finally returning after six long years. Everyone remembers the controversy surrounding the second season after Madhouse Studios passed the baton to J.C. Staff.
While fans expected a new studio to continue adapting the adventures of the superhero Saitama, J.C. Staff is back to continue adapting the Monsters Association arc. Everyone is worried about how the OPM third season will turn out next week, but let’s hope we get a good season full of satisfying action sequences and this could be the most anticipated fall anime of 2025.
1. My Hero Academia: Season 8 (Final Season)
- Release Date: October 4
- Where to Stream: Crunchyroll and Netflix
- Studio: Bones Film
My Hero Academia, one of the greatest modern shonen anime, will be concluding this year with its eighth season. Izuku Midoriya, aka Deku, has come a long way from being a quirkless kid, and the weight of the entire world is on his shoulders. MHA season 8 will continue the ongoing heated war between the superheroes and the villains.
As My Hero Academia season 8 is the final season of the series, fans can prepare to bid goodbye to our favorite superheroes who entertained and inspired us for a decade. If you still haven’t watched MHA, I wholeheartedly recommend you begin watching this series, as there is no other anime that offers unparalleled superhero drama on par with Marvel and DC.
And these titles are our best picks for the fall 2025 anime season that the fans should not miss watching at any cost. Having said that, let us know the list of anime you are planning to watch in the fall 2025 season in the comments below.
