Now that the new season's in full swing, I'm curious to know what you guys watched last season.
What are your thoughts on the shows of Winter 2025?
Which shows would you recommend to others?
Does the South Asian community tend to prefer some shows to others?

---

I'll start!
Personally, my studies have kept me rather busy, and I couldn't watch as much as I normally do. Still though, I try to sneak in a little anime-time here and there whenever I get the chance.


  • Orb: On the Movements of the Earth: This is probably my favourite show from Winter 2025. It began airing the season prior. This show didn't get nearly the attention it should've gotten. Initially, even I didn't show much interest in this show. BUT BOI WAS THAT A MISTAKE! The cover photo reminded me of Vinland Saga, so it sort of made an impression on me the first time I saw it, be it however small. I didn't try to look further until recently. It's a show about the discovery of heliocentrism. It's an alternate history show (albeit based on truth), depicting the struggles of establishing the theory.
    I'm not doing this show justice by trying a half-baked attempt at explaining the premise. All I'll say is, this show's probably not what you think it is, it's much more than that. Give it a try if you can. I highly recommend it.

  • Re:Zero Season 3: I LOVE THIS SHOW!! This season blew past my already high expectations! Every EP felt better than the previous. Everything's perfect, from the plot to the animation. I JUST LOVE IT!

  • Dr. Stone: Science Future: This season was a banger to say the least. It's very refreshing to see the story take a major turn after the Treasure Island Saga and finally pick up the pace.
    The 2nd cour to this season will release later this year. (Summer-2025 by the looks of it) So, if you haven't had the time to catch up, it's the best time to do so.

  • The Apothecary Diaries Season 2: I haven't actually watched the 2nd Season yet. I'm still watching the 1st season. So far, I'm loving it. I did want to catch up to the latest EP, but I just couldn't. The hype surrounding the last couple of EPs was too intense. Sadly, I couldn't join in on the hype, though ...can't believe I fought my FOMO for once.

  • Sakamoto Days: It's good, ig, but I've seen better. I felt this show to be a bit on the overrated side. Reminds me a lot of Spy Family, which I absolutely ADORE!!! Shin's basically Anya. Heck! He's even just as dopey as her!
    Overall, I had to drop this show. However, I would recommend this show to newcomers to anime.

  • Solo Leveling Season 2: Bit of a controversial take... Solo Leveling's overrated. Haven't watched the anime, not even the first season. I have read the Manhwa, not to completion, but quite a bit. It's just not for me. It's a bit too overhyped. I usually don't care about stuff like this, but it's to the point where this show being talked about everywhere this much deters me from being interested in it. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a great show deserving of every bit of the love it gets. The animations look AMAZING! Of course it does! It's animated by A-1 Pictures, after all.
    But even so, for some reason, I just can't bring myself to watch it.


Well, that's my take. I'd love to hear your opinions!

I loved it to bits. The production and direction was chef's kiss, and don't even get me started on the animation. A-1 Pictures did one helluva job. One of their finest works yet.


Despite the storyline being bereft of any novelty, Solo Leveling manages to make up for it via seamless animation and intense fight scenes. Arguably the finest anime adaptation of a manhwa—this, in tandem, paved the way for many other promising manhwas that might come into life one day.

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth isn't a Winter 2025 show. That being said, it's peak. AOTY 2024 for me.

Winter 2024 and 2025 best, that's where I got deep into anime and manga.
Started from Dandadan. Slowly to One Piece, Bleach, Death Note (i watched it a long time ago but here I am continuing it again), Mob Psycho 100, One Punch Man, Sakamoto Days and more.

Currently addicted to One Piece a bit. Will try Solo Levelling.

I won't lie, part of the reason why I saw this thread but didn't respond until now is because I didn't watch anything that came out last season... or really any seasonals for a while. If I did, probably Medalist since itwasn't one of the many sequels to shows I haven't seen on the list, and one of my friend circles keeps hyping it up to me.
Though even then I'll probably read the first volume of the manga before I watch it, a local library has a copy of that.

What I actually watched during the last season was P&S and Milky Holmes :P

@Fario-P Apparently, you're only into Mahou Shoujo and the likes. It goes without saying that you're missing out on a lot of gems.
