October - December • 121 anime
This fall has a big lineup — 114 shows and a clear split between returning giants and originals trying to carve space. SPY x FAMILY Season 3 and My Hero Academia Final Season are the obvious anchors, while a few newcomers are already turning heads.
My quick take: Fall 2025 feels like a season built around familiarity with a few bold exceptions. SPY x FAMILY Season 3 leans into the family chemistry that made it popular, with a couple of quieter episodes that actually land emotionally and some timing-heavy comedy beats. My Hero Academia Final Season is all about finale stakes — the fights get intense and the animation stretches to match the scale.
On the lighter side, My Friend's Little Sister Has It In for Me! is nailing the awkward-romcom pacing and character chemistry, so it’s an easy weekly comfort. Zombieland Saga: Dream Galactic Paradise goes full theatrical — the musical numbers and production choices remind you why the franchise exists in the first place! There are a ton of originals this quarter; a handful pop immediately, while others need a few episodes to settle. Overall, it’s one of those seasons that rewards tuning in week-to-week.
