11 Fall Anime 2025 Releases You Can’t Afford to Miss

After Spring and Summer 2025, the anime world is ready to witness the power-packed line-up for Fall 2025. Several popular titles, such as One Punch Man, My Hero Academia, To Your Eternity, etc., will be returning with new seasons, with the fans’ expectations skyrocketing. While there are multiple anime that are scheduled to be released in the fall of 2025, it becomes difficult to watch every one of them. So, here is a list featuring the most popular titles of Fall Anime 2025, which have the possibility of winning everyone’s hearts, along with awards.

1. One Punch Man Season 3

• Creator(s): ONE, Yusuke Murata
• Release Date: October 5, 2025
• Animation Studio: J.C. Staff
• Where To Watch: Crunchyroll

One Punch Man Season 3 has already hyped up the fans since it will be returning after six years since Season 2. It will feature the Monster Association arc, which encompasses the entirety of the evil organization and how the Hero Association will deploy its best heroes to fight against them. Even though Saitama is not one of the top ten heroes, it will be interesting to see how the parody characters get into the scene, whether he can find someone worthy of his time, especially since Garou will have a major upgrade and will be a menace to the heroes.

One Punch Man Season 3 replaced Chikara Sakurai with Shinpei Nagai as the director of the series. The series airs right around the 10th Anniversary of One Punch Man. Season 3 could also be treated as a redemption arc because Season 2 failed to carry on Season 1’s standards, and now fans will be watching Season 3. Nonetheless, One Punch Man Season 3 is one of the main attractions of Fall 2025 and a potential candidate for Anime of the Year.

5. Ranma ½ Season 2 (2024)

• Creator: Rumiko Takahashi
• Release Date: October 5, 2025
• Animation Studio: MAPPA
• Where To Watch: Netflix

Ranma ½ (2024) was the reboot of the original Ranma ½ anime, with season 2 scheduled to release in Fall 2025. The reboot has been faithful to Rumiko Takahashi’s magnum opus and is following everything in order. Ranma’s bizarre male-to-female and vice versa transformation will continue in season 2, with lots of comedy, chaos, and romance. Unlike the 1989 anime adaptation, the current director and animation studio are hopefully about fully adapting the manga, bringing it to a close.

The fans have praised Ranma ½ (2024) for its attention to detail, animation, and respect for the artwork of the manga. The old cast has returned once again, including Kappei Yamaguchi as Ranma (male), Megumi Hayashibara as Ranma (female), Noriko Hidaka as Akane, etc. Without a doubt, Ranma ½ Season 2 (2024) has the potential to steal the spotlight of Fall 2025, with its chaotic Rom-Com.

6. 3-Z Ginpachi Sensei

• Creator(s): Hideaki Sorachi, Tomohito Oosaki
• Release Date: October 7, 2025
• Animation Studio: Bandai Namco Pictures
• Where To Watch: NA

3-Z Ginpachi Sensei is the spin-off of Gintama, with Ginpachi Sakata returning as the teacher of class 3-Z, which is the most unruly class of the school. The anime will bring back the laid-back Ginpachi Sakata that everyone adores, but instead of a bizarre setup, it will feature a parody of school life along with all the eccentricities. When it comes to the trio of Ginpachi, Shimura, and Kagura, anything and everything can happen, and the fans are expecting a rollercoaster journey ahead.

The anime will have a new crew with only Tomokazu Sugita (Ginpachi) and Daisuke Sakaguchi (Shimura) reprising their roles. Most of the characters will be returning in 3-Z Ginpachi Sensei, creating a ruckus that often exceeds everyone’s expectations. 3-Z Ginpachi Sensei might not be a candidate for Anime of the Year, but it can provide fans with a once-in-a-lifetime comedy experience.

7. SANDA

• Creator: Paru Itagaki
• Release Date: October 4, 2025
• Animation Studio: Science SARU
• Where To Watch: Prime Video

SANDA is one of the hidden gems of Fall 2025 and should be on everyone’s watchlist. In a dystopian world where everyone has forgotten about Christmas and Santa Claus, Shiori Fuyumura’s unorthodox method helps her awaken a muscular Santa Claus within her classmate Kazushige Sanda. In the hopes of finding her best friend, Ono Ichie, Shiori and Sanda explore a restricted world where children are considered precious, yet they have no freedom. SANDA’s emotional aspect, along with action and mysteries, easily makes it a great watch.

With a renowned cast and crew, SANDA Episode 1 has already premiered during Anime Expo 2025, but will be available for streaming in the first week of October 2025. SANDA’s cultural theme on steroids makes it one of the most unique anime of Fall 2025, and could easily overshadow others if it lives up to its expectations.

• Animation Studio: P.A. Works, Zexcs, Lapin Track, Studio Kafka, 100studio, Studio Graph77
• Where To Watch: Prime Video

Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 is a collection of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s oneshots he created between the ages of 17 and 26. The anime will have eight episodes, with each episode featuring one of the oneshots. Originally, there were two manga, 17-21 and 22-26, but the anime has combined them both. The eight stories are as follows:

• A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin’ in the Schoolyard (Niwa ni wa Niwa Niwatori ga Ita) – The story follows two girls who are trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world amidst all the chaos they have to face.

• Sasaki Stopped a Bullet (Sasaki-kun ga Juudan Tometa) – It features the emotional aspects that a person goes through during adolescence.

• Love Is Blind (Koi wa Moumoku) – With a cosmic set-up, the manga ventures into an one-of-a-kind RomCom.

• Shikaku – It has a romantic set-up where the girl is a deranged assassination.

• Mermaid Rhapsody (Ningyo Rhapsody) – Mermaid Rhapsody explores a unique love story between a human and a mermaid.

• Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome (Me ga Sametara Onnanoko ni Natteita Yamai) – The oneshot is all about finding one’s true identity beyond the gender.  

• Nayuta of the Prophecy (Yogen no Nayuta) – The story explores Nayuta, a young girl with horns, who is prophesized to destroy the world. Even though she only wants to enjoy an ice-cream, people are trying to get rid of her at every chance they get.

• Sisters (Imouto no Ane) – The story explores two artistically inclined sisters, their character growth, rivalry, and emotional depth.  

Being an ONA (Original Net Animation), Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 will not broadcast and will directly released on Amazon Prime Video. Since there are eight stories, each story will be directed by different directors and animation studios, bringing different combinations of animation, which are all visually quite pleasing.
