The Winter 2025 anime season means new anime series to check out, but it also means the continuation of existing series. There are quite a lot of Fall 2024 anime series that are heading into their second cours with the Winter 2025 season. Here are the best continuing anime in the Winter 2025 season that you should start now if you haven’t already.
Blue Box
Don’t worry, as I won’t provide any spoilers for the first halves of these series. That said, Blue Box is one of the more underrated series from 2024 that is continuing into 2025. It follows a high school badminton player and basketball star that develop feelings as they train to be the best at their sports. Even if you aren’t a sports anime fan (I know I’m not), the romance is still worth checking out.
Re:Zero Season 3
While Re:Zero Season 3 got off to a rough start with its bloated premiere, it is starting to find its footing in its new setting and story arc. I expect Season 3 to be a lot like Season 2 and only get much better in the later episodes. The story of Subaru trying to survive and learn from constant deaths against mysterious forces in a fantasy world is still worth watching.
Dragon Ball Daima
Dragon Ball Daima took a surprising approach for this new series, opting out of a Super continuation for a return to the younger character style. If you can get past this odd character choice, you will find this is still Dragon Ball through and through. It is only getting better, too, as the new villains push the heroes in some fascinating directions. And don’t worry, the action is still peak.
Blue Miburo
Anyone eager for a period piece or some great sword-fighting should check out Blue Miburo. It is starting its second cour in the Winter 2025 season, following a young man who joins a group of despised ronin. It has the solid action you would expect from a series like this, but there is a lot of heart, too, in the relationships between the Miburo group.
