Summer 2025 Anime I’m Watching — hidden gems & big hits

I’m doing something a little different this time for my seasonal picks. See if you can spot it!

Here are the other shows I’ll be watching:

• Dandadan – 2nd season of the hit show, there was the one big issue I had with the first season, how Okarun losing his balls were funny when in reality he got castrated by the pervert turbo granny. Yet people kicked up a fuss about Momo
• Dr Stone Season 4 2nd cour: I don’t need to say anything on that
• The Summer Hikaru Died – This looks really interesting, could be the summer horror we’ve been waiting for. However, the BL fangirls are going to hi-jack this, like it’s their wet dream
• Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood – this looks interesting, based on a manga, a candidate for episodic review
• Reborn as a Vending Machine S2 – hell yeah! enjoyed the first season
• Clevatess – this looks really interesting and is a candidate for episodic review. I love the opening as well

And there you have it, the shows I’ll be watching. Give or take, heheh

Something been on my mind…

When I first started scribbbleanime, I was interchanging my posts, from an episode review to a first impression. This gave a nice pace for me, just posting once a week. However, lately I decided to do 3 posts a week. This has come at a bit of a price, as I haven’t really kept up with that cadence. In comparison to my peers, who smartly focused on just one aspect either just episodic reviews, whether singular or as a larger post, but shorter thoughts on them. Either way, it frees up their time, allowing them to do other types of posts.

Whilst I strongly suggest not doing too much other types of posts as it loses or dilutes your blog primary focus, the worst thing is having too many categories that ends up bloating your blog. I’m digressing a bit..

Anyway…

In short, I’ve lost sight of that pacing. In trying to keep up with the cadence. I did think about taking a small break from episodic review, or first impressions – I’ve also lost sight of that as well. Instead of just in season, it was meant to do any season, in or out. After thinking long and hard, I came to the conclusion that it is possible to pump out 3 posts a week, if I go back to how I first approached scribbbleanime – interchanging episodic, first impression even mini review on a week by week. This does mean that my episodic reviews will be staggered.

Enough of me blathering

Spring 2025 Anime I’m Watching — hidden gems & big hits

Spring is in the air, everywhere I don’t want to look around, Spring is in the air…yeah, I’ll stop there. As you guessed it, the winter season has come to an end and so begins the Spring season. I’ll admit I didn’t watch as many shows for the winter season (there are leftovers). Spring has some that had caught my eye. As usual, not all will be mentioned here.

Spring 2025 Picks

So, without further ado, here are the shows for this season:

The Beginning After the End

The beginning after the end looks interesting, it’s based on a web novel, not sure if it is a manhwa. Anyway, on my final post of blue lock season 2, I said I’ll be covering this, after finding out it has 24 episodes and I’m thinking of upping my sports episode review section, so I switched. Will still watch it

Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu Suru? (Iya, Shinai!!)

After skipping out on Makine losing heroines and Honey lemon soda, time to get back on to the romance scene and this one being adapted by J.C Staff, which I enjoyed their adaptation of days with my stepsister, looking forward to this “can boys and girls really remain friends” take. Could be the standout romance show, there could be some competition. And yeah, it’s based on a light novel

Wind Breaker Season 2

Watched first season, so continue on with 2nd

The Catcher in the Ballpark!

The catcher in the ballpark has been picked to be covered, although I could change again to another sports show – all before airing. I do like watching baseball show, with ace of diamond being the biggest name. It says ecchi on AP tags (no ecchi hasn’t put me off), though on MAL and even wiki it says comedy and sports. Will be interesting to watch

• Uma Musume: Cinderella Grey is the other series being considered

Summer Pockets

Summer pockets is based on a visual novel, so I’m going in complete blind as to how good the VN is. I will say summer pockets has a more, excuse the pun summer vibe than spring for some reason, maybe because VN adaptations come out during the summer. This could be the competition for Danjo

Your Forma

Your Forma (I keep thinking fomo for some reason) is an interesting one. The synopsis of the show is really intriguing. This could seriously be a sleeper hit of the season.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Disciples Are All Grown Up Now, and They Won’t Leave Me Alone

From the length of title, yup, you’ve guessed it a LN adaptation. Couldn’t help myself in throwing in another novel based series (mainly because I’m getting into LN’s). Could surprise me, this could be a surprise hidden gem of the season, based on the synopsis. Or fall into the LN graveyard like most have

Zatsu Tabi

Zatsu Tabi, I suspect will be the hidden surprise gem of the season. Mainly because it has laid-back camp vibes (will have stiff competition from the author of laid-back camp new series). From the synopsis, going wherever on whim sounds pretty fun, checking out the food and scenery too. So can’t say no to that, plus it’s a wind down from all the other series

There are the odd shows that are left overs from winter:

• I left my A-ranked party
• Daily life of a middle-aged shopper

And there you have it, those are my picks, as I wrote above there are shows that caught my attention that aren’t being mentioned, either a first impression post or be posted on my socials – give a follow, I’m active on mastodon. By following on mastodon or threads, you’ll also get my ani midpoint thoughts – any series I’m watching that has hit its mid-point (epi 5-7) I give my thoughts on it, regardless of whether I’ve done a first impression or not

• Mastodon
• Threads

What are you watching? what shows has piqued your interest for this spring, let me know in the comments!
