Crunchyroll has had a generally great year in 2025, with even Spring's duds being outshined both by returning favorites like Fire Force and Wind Breaker. Although the prevailing popularity of Solo Leveling led to an incredible second season, only one anime boasting two cours has led the charts across two seasons. This year,that honor goes to Gachiakuta .

Gachiakuta is the most exciting new property on the platform. It subverts classic anime tropes while itself not feeling like a departure from shonen concepts. It's another excellent offering from Bones Film, and has even regularly outpaced the favored contender for Crunchyroll's Fall 2025 crown, My Hero Academia season 8 , ushering in a new era.
