After we have already presented you with a ranking of the worst anime titles of 2025, today we are taking a look at the best series of the past few months. Who could secure the top position?
The highlights of 2025
The website MyAnimeList allows users to rate all the anime series that aired this year on a scale from 1 (disaster) to 10 (masterpiece). We then used the publicly visible average rating as the basis for creating the following list.
For a title to be included in the rating, it must not only have been broadcast this year, but also have at least 8,000 ratings. This means that anime that started last year but whose release extended into this year were also taken into account.
How do you rate the selection? Which series impressed you this year? Please let us know your opinion in the comments!
