A date-first, story-focused look at every anime premiering this summer, complete with context, highlights, and official sources for the most reliable updates.
Summer 2025 is shaping up to be a mix of returning fan favorites, long-awaited climaxes, and a healthy wave of brand-new shows. Big-name sequels promise to deliver on cliffhangers from last year, while fresh titles aim to grab attention with striking visuals and unique hooks.
Weekends will be stacked with heavy-hitting shonen and sports anime, while weekday slots will lean on comedies, slice-of-life, and experimental stories. Mid-season, expect surprise announcements and a few stealth drops from streaming platforms looking to grab late-summer attention.
How this guide works
The schedule is arranged by premiere date, from early July through late September, so you can quickly see what’s next. Each entry lists the key art, title, genre, season number (if applicable), and release date. Official “Watch” links will take you straight to the streaming platform’s title page when available.
Some shows only have a season window without a confirmed date. We will update those as official announcements come in, and move them into place once they’re locked in by broadcasters or streaming partners.
Action fans will find plenty to love, from the return of high-stakes battle arcs to the continuation of long-form sports dramas. Fantasy and isekai remain strong, with a handful of darker, more political storylines joining the usual adventure fare. Romance titles are leaning toward comedy this summer, with several adaptations of popular web novels and manga.
For something different, keep an eye on late-night mystery series, horror anthologies, and original productions from smaller studios. These often debut mid-season and can be the hidden gems of the summer lineup.

Where to watch and verify
Most global simulcasts land on Crunchyroll . Some territories may carry select titles on Netflix Anime or Disney+ . For production and schedule bulletins, check studio and distributor hubs such as Aniplex USA and TOHO animation .
If a premiere time shifts, the most reliable source is the official show page on your platform. Search the title directly, add it to your watchlist, and enable notifications so time zone changes do not catch you off guard.
Notes on dubs and availability
Simulcast subs arrive first, with dubs rolling out on separate weekly tracks. Catalog moves can happen mid season when licenses expand or rotate. If your region lacks a title, try the platform’s help pages or the studio’s news feed for status updates.
