Ever wonder what makes an anime season truly exceptional? The secret lies in balance, and Spring 2025 is shaping up to deliver exactly that. Breaking from the typical isekai overload of recent seasons, Crunchyroll's upcoming lineup offers something genuinely refreshing—a harmonious blend of continuing favorites alongside bold new originals.
The highly anticipated Fire Force Season 3 returns after leaving fans dangling from that jaw-dropping Season 2 cliffhanger. If you've been following the subtle breadcrumbs connecting this series to Soul Eater, you're in for a treat as these connections finally start taking meaningful shape. Meanwhile, My Hero Academia fans can satisfy their heroic cravings with "Vigilantes," a spin-off exploring the grittier side of heroism through characters operating outside the sanctioned system—think of them as the Daredevils to All Might's Superman.
Among newcomers, "Beginning After the End" stands out despite animation controversies. This isn't your typical reincarnation story—our protagonist was already a ruthless dictator king in a fantasy world before getting his second chance. Two hidden gems deserve special mention: "Catch Me at the Ballpark" offers a charming slice-of-life romance between a weary salaryman and a beer vendor at a baseball stadium, while "Hero X" introduces a fascinating concept where heroes' powers are directly tied to public trust and perception.

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
