New anime to watch in winter 2025
Let’s take a peek at some of our most-anticipated winter anime.

ZENSHU
Famous animator Natsuko Hirose is working on a tight deadline to finish the storyboards for her next project—until she reincarnates in the world of her favorite childhood anime. She may be from the faraway kingdom of “Real World,” but that doesn’t stop her from interfering in the film’s events. Natsuko quickly learns that she has the power to change the story with her lightning-fast animating skills (which maybe pushed her to her death in the first place…)
ZENSHU airs Sundays starting January 5 on Crunchyroll.

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Season 2
In this long-anticipated sequel season, the friendly ghost Hanako-kun continues to lead human girl Nene through a terrifying world of the supernatural.
If you run out of episodes, also give After-school Hanako-kun a try. It’s the slice-of-life companion series with lower stakes.
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun airs Saturdays starting January 11 on Crunchyroll.
