Winter 2025 Preview
With the changing of the leaves out and snow and chill in you’d think we’d be gearing up for a lazy season – but anime has other intentions. New year intentions. As 2024 gives way to 2025 we’ve got a strong suite of shows to look forward to, whether it be the hotly awaited Solo Leveling sequel, the return of everyone’s favourite Chinese apothecary in Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, the next Type Moon entry Fate/strange Fake, or the brand new upstarts in low-key hit-man adventure Sakamoto Days and sport-flavoured romcom Ao no Hako. Still rocking the isekai bug? Never fear because MAPPA original, animation meta Zenshuu, tokusatsu chique Sentai Red, the secretary themed Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, the reverse isekai Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san, and the next big reincarnated villainess story in Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan have all your bases covered. Prefer truer fantasy? Take a look at the gritty and provocative revenge tale Übel Blatt and Dr. Stone’s last great hurrah to whet the palate. And hey, if the hot chocolate hasn’t run out and the fireplace is still going leave some room for the cutesy romance Honey Lemon Soda, figure skating aspirant Medalist, and the blast from the past harem work 100 Girlfriends to keep the comfy feeling going.
Winters always suck for one reason or another, but anime is always around to keep the spirits high. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2025 Preview!
