The Best New Anime On Crunchyroll

Gachiakuta-13

Gachiakuta is a brand new anime that officially dropped in 2025, and it's safe to say that it is easily one of the year's best anime releases.

Fans have been stunned by the level of quality that it has managed to deliver. The series is still pretty new, but fans are already in love. The story of Gachiakuta is darker than one would expect, but that only adds to its charm. It is a tale full of death and a quest for revenge that fires up the protagonist, and should fire up fans’ weekends as well.

The anime currently has 13 episodes, which is the perfect amount to binge over the weekend while waiting for more content to be released on a weekly basis.

Dr. Stone is no new series, and anime fans have been obsessed with it for quite some years now. The science element of the series makes it one of the absolute best, and it also serves as a breath of fresh air in a medium that is oversaturated with traditional battle shonen.

At the moment, the anime has 3 completed seasons, with a fourth and final one on its way to conclusion. The fourth season is split into three cours, with two already done. The final part of the anime is coming in 2026, but until then, fans still have 81 amazing episodes to watch.
