The list of worst anime of 2025 is something none of us want to see, but the truth is often harsh. This year, the Otaku community has experienced emotions ranging from anticipation to extreme outrage. Let's take a look at these titles!
One Punch Man Season 3: "Caped Baldy" falls due to PowerPoint
Once an action icon, J.C. Staff's return was an unforgivable disaster. The animation was unbelievably choppy, making the fight scenes feel incredibly disjointed. The image of Garou sliding on grass as if moved by a computer mouse has become a legendary meme. The cutting of important content from the manga made loyal fans feel betrayed. This truly deserves the top spot on the list of worst anime of 2025.
Your Forma: Great potential, painful stumble
Since the beginning of the year, fans had high hopes for this detective and sci-fi masterpiece due to its extremely engaging plot. However, for some unknown reason, the entire content of Volume 1 of the Light Novel was adapted into the anime. The beginning was confusing, leaving viewers unable to understand the Your Forma technology and character relationships. A deep film was turned into a chaotic mess, lacking soul and narrative drive.
The Beginning After The End: Endless still frames
Based on the popular Manhwa, The Beginning After The End should have been a captivating story about a king's reincarnation. The animation was so stiff that the online community nicknamed it "The Still Frame After The End." The transition effects looked like they were hastily made with mobile video editing apps. Additionally, the formulaic script made the main character bland and lacking the necessary appeal.
The Shiunji Family Children: Only good at Fanservice
Penned by the author of Rent-A-Girlfriend, everyone expected an interesting psychological romance. However, the anime deviated by focusing too much on fanservice, making the story disjointed and lacking humanistic value. The deep psychological elements viewers hoped for never appeared. This is definitely one of the worst anime of 2025.
#Compass2.0: Animation Project: Mobile vase
This anime looks like a game commercial trailer stretched out for an entire season. Everything happens at a dizzying pace, but the content within is completely empty and illogical. The vague world rules make the battles, however visually appealing, lack any weight. The studio indulged too much in flashy visual effects and neglected the core value of the script.
Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru: The boundary of offensiveness
This is undoubtedly a controversial title due to its extremely sensitive theme of love between humans and animals. Instead of exploring social messages like fighting discrimination, the anime indulged in offensive fanservice scenes. Placing the characters in high school further earned this work countless "bricks and stones" from public opinion. An anime lacking educational value and going against the aesthetic standards of enthusiasts.
The list of worst anime of 2025 above is a valuable lesson for studios that underestimate the script. Hopefully, next year, we will enjoy more quality works to satisfy our passion. Do you agree with this list? Let Hobiverse know your thoughts!
