by Not only was there a large number of summer anime, but the quality was also high.
The summer 2025 anime series are coming to an end one after another. You’re probably screaming with joy every day as your favorite series reaches its climax. This time, we will be looking at three amazing summer anime that are sure to leave a deep impression on anime fans.
“Takopi’s Original Sin” First up is “Takopi’s Original Sin.” This work revolves around “Takopi,” a man from the Happy Planet who descends to Earth to spread happiness, and “Shizuka-chan,” a human girl with a special situation.
The original manga of the same name by Taizan 5 was already highly popular among Japanese manga fans upon its release; however, its popularity skyrocketed with the anime adaptation. It’s particularly noteworthy that this work garnered incredible buzz and critical acclaim despite being released exclusively through streaming services rather than on television. The show’s harsh story and portrayal of the characters’ psychological state deeply resonated with many viewers.
This was true not only in Japan but also among anime fans overseas, with the English version, “Takopi’s Original Sin,” receiving the second-highest ratings on overseas anime review sites for both the summer season and the 2025 anime season, second only to “The Apothecary Diaries .” ” CITY THE ANIMATION,” an animated adaptation of Arawi Keiichi’s comedy manga, has astounded anime fans with its high-quality visuals.
While it’s a comedy series meant to be a relaxed watch, with nothing particularly spectacular happening, the animation, which faithfully recreates Arawi’s signature style, and the relentless yet imaginative movements often leave viewers feeling like they’ve just watched something incredible after just one episode. Particularly legendary is the “9-split screen” scene in episode 5. In this scene, the screen is divided into nine parts, with the stories of different characters progressing simultaneously, a technique that requires a considerable amount of animation effort.
The disjointed conversations left viewers unsure of where to focus, and some viewers had to rewind the video multiple times to try to understand everything. This viewing experience, which truly showcases Kyoto Animation’s commitment, is legendary and essential to any discussion of summer anime.
“Turkey!” Our final pick is the original anime “Turkey!” As many of you know, the series began as a youth club story about high school girls who belong to a bowling club, but at the end of the first episode, the characters travel back in time to the Warring States period, surprising anime fans with an unexpected twist.
The series then went on to tell a unique, somewhat eccentric yet somehow captivating story, in which bowling and the Warring States period, two elements that would typically have no connection, mysteriously intertwine. At the end of the series, the main characters finally return to the present day, but now that they’ve traveled back in time to the Warring States period once again, everyone is watching to see where they’ll end up, just like a bowling ball.
