What are you watching this summer?
Crunchyroll just dropped their summer lineup and my watchlist is overflowing 👀🍜 From new isekai to romance and sequels I’ve been waiting forever for this summer is about to be anime-filled. Let’s talk faves! What are you most excited to watch?
Wow, Crunchyroll really outdid themselves with the Summer 2025 lineup! It's always a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what to commit to, especially with so many exciting titles dropping. When I'm building my ultimate anime watchlist for a new season, I usually start by looking at a few key categories. First up, the highly anticipated sequels. This summer, 'Kaiju No. 8 Season 2' is definitely topping my list. The first season was fantastic, and I can't wait to see where the story goes next. And if I manage to clear some space, 'Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Season 2' is also on my radar – the art style and supernatural elements are just so charming! These are usually safe bets because you already know if you love the world and characters. Then there are the fresh, unique premises that just catch your eye. 'Solo Camping for Two' sounds absolutely adorable with its 'grumpy meets sunshine' dynamic – perfect for a cozy watch. And 'With You and the Rain' gives off such a sweet 'Lilo and Stitch setup' vibe, I'm already hooked! I'm also really intrigued by 'See You Tomorrow at the Food Court,' which promises a heartwarming story about two girls from different worlds becoming friends. These are the shows that often become unexpected favorites. For those who love a bit of magic and fantasy, 'Secrets of the Silent Witch' looks incredibly promising. The 'OP and magic, need I say more!' overlay from the poster really sold me! And if you're into delicious stories, 'Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!' is a must-add; I mean, who doesn't love a good food anime? And of course, romance and drama always have a spot. 'Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus' is giving us 'Christmas in July,' which is such a fun, unexpected twist for a summer release. And for something a little spicier, 'Betrothed to My Sister's Ex' sounds delightfully 'messy,' and sometimes that's exactly what you need for a binge-watch session! When I'm trying to narrow down my choices, I often check out trailers, read a few first impressions from early viewers, and see what my friends are buzzing about. Sometimes, it's about diving into a completely new world, and other times, it's about revisiting beloved characters. The key is to find what genuinely excites *you*. What approach do you usually take when curating your seasonal lineup?
