I started watching seasonal anime in <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/season\/2015\/fall\">the autumn of 2015<\/a>, which makes this a decade of keeping up with seasonal anime for me, for better or worse. That season had a bit of a controversy as there were two series starring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r9Q_Q2UoB5A\">a black haired Kirito clone accidentally surprising their pink haired room mate undressing herself, leading to her dueling him<\/a>. Imagine that, two series with the same setup airing in the same season. Couldn&#8217;t happen these days.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMAL is showing <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/season\/2025\/fall\">over sixty new series this season<\/a>, so what I thought I would do is highlight the ones that look interesting to me, either from their description or because I know the source material. There will inevitably be <a href=\"\/wissewords2\/2025\/07\/03\/naro-slop-summer-first-impressions\/\">a lot of naro slob<\/a>, but I&#8217;m going to ignore those.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1622\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oh7bd-CDY6U\" title=\"Official Trailer | One-Punch Man Season 3 | VIZ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<cite>One Punch Man 3<\/cite><br \/>\nA decade too since the original <cite>One Punch Man<\/cite> aired, the biggest show that season. The sequel came out in 2019 and everybody hated it because it wasn&#8217;t done by Madhouse. Nevertheless it was a perfectly cromulent series, still faithful to the original manga, just slightly less impressive than the first. Six years is a long time between series, but it&#8217;s not as if there&#8217;s a lot of complicated plot you need to dreg up to enjoy this. Of all the high profile sequels (<cite>Spy x Family Season 3<\/cite>, <cite>My Hero Academia<\/cite>, <cite>Fumetsu no Anata e Season 3<\/cite>, etc.) this is the one I will be watching week to week. Most of the others I first have to finish the previous series for anyway.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1622\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bR0w9yqLLcA\" title=\"My Friend&#39;s Little Sister Has It In for Me! - Official Main Trailer\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<cite>Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai<\/cite><br \/>\nHapless nerd is unpopular with girls, but has to to play the boyfriend to his uncle&#8217;s daughter to get his uncle&#8217;s support for his gaming business. Btu what about his best friend&#8217;s younger sister, who always teases him? Sounds like a classic (harem) romcom and depending on how well the fake relationship is handled, may be fun. The studio responsible <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/producer\/1547\/Blade\">started out as a maid cafe<\/a>, but has done similar series, some of which I&#8217;ve enjoyed, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/53421\/Dosanko_Gal_wa_Namara_Menkoi\">Hokkaido gal one<\/a> a few seasons back.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOther hetero romances\/harem series this season: <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/60531\/Bukiyou_na_Senpai\">Bukiyou na Senpai<\/a><\/cite> (awkward girl gets kind, nerdy kouhai), <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/61209\/Kao_ni_Denai_Kashiwada-san_to_Kao_ni_Deru_Oota-kun\">Kao ni Denai Kashiwada-san to Kao ni Deru Oota-kun<\/a><\/cite> (easily bored dude tries to get a reaction from his expressionless classmate), <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/60254\/Yano-kun_no_Futsuu_no_Hibi\">Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi<\/a><\/cite> (kind class president has to take care of her clumsy classmate) and <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/60933\/Chanto_Suenai_Kyuuketsuki-chan\">Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi<\/a><\/cite> (the transfer student is a vampire, but our protagonist is just an ordinary boy) all look interesting enough to try.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1622\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HintXCQ2G5M\" title=\"Chitose Is in the Ramune bottle | Teaser Trailer\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<cite>Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka<\/cite><br \/>\nToo handsome for his own good, Saku Chitose is regularly attacked online for being a womaniser. Dude is fine with it until his teacher tells him to get a classmate to come to school, a classmate who has bought into all the slander and really, really hates him. I&#8217;ve read part of the manga this is based on, which was a bit cringe with its talk about &#8216;normies&#8217; and otaku and light and dark sides of the class, but it looks interesting at least.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1622\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U75Y7FX78WA\" title=\"May I Ask for One Final Thing? | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<cite>Saigo ni Hitotsu dake Onegai shitemo Yoroshii deshou ka<\/cite><br \/>\nWhen Scarlet&#8217;s engagement to the country&#8217;s second prince, Kyle, is publically called off and she&#8217;s accused of bullying the woman Kyle actually wants, she has only one request: &#8220;may I sent this stupid bitch flying&#8221;? Ever since she got engaged she tried to behave how a true royal fiancee should, but she wasn&#8217;t called the &#8220;mad dog princess&#8221; for nothing. Her favourite activity beimg beating the shit out of corrupt nobles. I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animenewsnetwork.com\/review\/may-i-ask-for-one-final-thing\/volume-1\/.229089\">the manga version of this<\/a>, so I hope the anime will up to this. LIDENFILMS is a decent enough studio but the director hasn&#8217;t got that much experience, so let&#8217;s wait and see.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1622\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pr_hQrXH_Bw\" title=\"This Monster Wants to Eat Me - Official Global Visual Trailer\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve come to eat you,&#8221; so softly utters the mermaid Shiori as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<cite>Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi<\/cite><br \/>\nOh good, we&#8217;ve got the toxic yuri sorted out this season.
