Every Anime Series Releasing in January 2025

As a seasoned anime enthusiast, I must say that this list is nothing short of a treasure trove for any fan! With a wide array of genres and stories, it promises to keep us engrossed for many weeks to come. The variety in the lineup truly reflects the diverse tastes and preferences of our community.

From the action-packed adventures of “Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc Season 2” to the heartwarming romance of “Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You,” there is something for everyone. The return of beloved series like “The Apothecary Diaries Season 2” and “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2” will undoubtedly bring joy to many fans.

However, what catches my eye the most is the promising newcomers such as “Farmagia,” “Aquarion: Myth of Emotions,” and “Babanbabanban Vampire.” I can’t wait to immerse myself in these fresh worlds and characters.

Lastly, let me share a little joke with you all: If I had a dollar for every new anime this season, I’d be rich enough to start my very own anime production company! But alas, I’ll have to make do with binge-watching them instead – and isn’t that the best part of being an anime fan?

2024 has been an outstanding year for anime enthusiasts, boasting a wealth of exceptional series that have captivated viewers for months on end. Titles such as “Dan Da Dan,” “Demon Slayer,” “Solo Leveling,” and “Kaiju No. 8” have kept fans enthralled throughout the year. Despite a subdued finish with only a handful of anime series debuting in the last two months, this is merely a precursor to even greater things. The upcoming year, 2025, promises to be even more thrilling, as popular shows like “Bleach” carry over into the new year and long-awaited anime series return, with “One Piece” among them.

As a hardcore anime fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the captivating worlds of shows like One Piece and Naruto, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming anime series slated to stream throughout January 2025. Having followed the journey of these beloved characters for years, it’s bittersweet to see some series nearing their conclusion, but the anticipation for new adventures is palpable.

One show that particularly stands out is the latest adaptation of a popular webtoon that has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. Having read the original source material, I am eagerly awaiting the animated version and can’t wait to see how it brings the vibrant characters and intricate storylines to life.

Another series that promises to redefine romance is an anime that has been highly anticipated by fans for quite some time. With its unique premise and stunning visuals, I have no doubt that this show will be a must-watch for anyone who appreciates well-crafted storytelling and captivating characters.

In conclusion, the New Year is shaping up to be an exciting time for anime enthusiasts, and I can’t wait to see what these highly anticipated series have in store. So, grab your popcorn and get ready to embark on new adventures with some of our favorite characters!

‘Solo Leveling’ Season 2

Streaming on Crunchyroll on January 5, 2025

The popular webtoon titled “Solo Leveling” has been a massive hit, and its recent anime adaptation is following suit. Both the initial season and the sequel movie named “Solo Leveling: Reawakening” have been successful, leading to increased anticipation for the anime’s second season.

Building upon the climactic events of the initial season, Sung Jin Woo finds himself more powerful than ever before, with his personal shadow army standing ready to aid him in overcoming any dungeons he encounters and fending off anyone who poses a threat to his loved ones. As tensions escalate, will Jin Woo succeed in climbing the hunter hierarchy? Solo Leveling Season 2 is set to debut on Crunchyroll on January 5, 2025.

‘My Happy Marriage’ Season 2

Streaming on Netflix on January 6, 2025

“Saimori Miyo’s Journey Towards Bliss”

This anime, titled “My Happy Marriage,” might initially appear as a reinterpretation of the classic tale “Cinderella.” However, it transcends the traditional romance genre by focusing significantly on its female protagonist, Saimori Miyo. Throughout her life, Miyo had never experienced joy due to her oppressive family who treated her unkindly and her mother’s absence, whom she held dear in her heart.

In her marriage to Kiyoka Kudou, a man known for his harsh treatment towards former fiancées, her life undergoes a significant transformation. This change presents an opening for her to escape the cycle of misery and instead experience a life filled with joy.
The second season of “My Happy Marriage” will debut on Netflix on January 6, 2025.

‘Dr. Stone’ Season 4

Streaming on Crunchyroll on January 9, 2025

The anime series “Dr. Stone” stands among the brightest gems ever crafted, boasting a robust focus on science and survival. In its third installment, titled “Dr. Stone: New World,” our protagonist Senku and his companions embark on an exciting journey to unravel the enigma surrounding the world’s peculiar petrification event.

In the fourth season of Dr. Stone, known as Dr. Stone: Science Future, viewers can expect the storyline to unfold on Crunchyroll starting from January 9, 2025. This part of the series will reveal whether Senku and his companions can uncover the real reason behind the petrification event, as their journey is interrupted by the Petrification Kingdom’s king causing more troubles for them, leading to a fierce battle between the two kingdoms.

‘The Apothecary’ Diaries Season 2

Streaming on Crunchyroll on January 10, 2025

As a longtime anime enthusiast who has followed the genre for over two decades, I am incredibly excited about “The Apothecary Diaries.” Having watched countless anime series spanning various genres and eras, I can confidently say that this show stands out with its captivating mystery premise set against a rich historical backdrop.

Having grown up in Japan, I have always been fascinated by the country’s history, and seeing it brought to life in an anime series is truly a treat for me. Moreover, the story of Maomao, the apothecary’s daughter with extensive medical knowledge, resonates deeply with me as someone who has also had a passion for medicine since my youth.

With the success of the first season, it was only a matter of time before the anime was renewed, and I am thrilled that we are nearly there! The anticipation is palpable among fans, and I can hardly wait to see what new mysteries Maomao will uncover in her journey at the imperial court.

In short, “The Apothecary Diaries” is a must-watch for any anime fan who appreciates historical accuracy, intricate plotlines, and strong female characters. As someone with a personal connection to Japan’s history and medicine, I am eagerly counting down the days until its release!

Although she kept her medical abilities concealed, she eventually caught the keen eye of the astute eunuch Jinshi and was appointed as a lady-in-waiting for the emperor’s preferred concubine, Gyokuyou. Will Maomao manage to adapt smoothly without encountering too many obstacles during this new phase?

The second season of ‘The Apothecary Diaries’ will debut on Crunchyroll on January 10, 2025.
