Crunchyroll’s Best Anime of Summer 2025 Has Been Decided (And It Signals a Change For the Industry)

Despite Takopi’s Original Sin breaking records for anime viewership, the announcement on September 30th, at the end of the summer season, showed that it was actually the new shonen anime Gachiakuta that became the most popular show on the platform. The official Gachiakuta account on X (previously known as Twitter) shared that the series reached number one in the July season’s viewing charts. Starting with its debut episode this summer, Gachiakuta consistently had the highest viewership in over 200 countries, proving to be the platform’s most consistent hit. This success is noteworthy and may indicate a future trend for the anime industry.
