I am a simple anime fan – just like you. I wait for Anime Expo every year, hoping to get something that will shake up the entire fandom. And guess what? Anime Expo 2025 has changed the level of expectations this time!
From Black Clover’s comeback to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, and to new scenes from Chainsaw Man: Reze Movie – this time Anime Expo was a full-on emotional rollercoaster. If you missed the updates, don’t worry. I am covering everything here – a perfect fan-to-fan breakdown! New Seasons & Major Comebacks
Black Clover – The Magic Returns
The biggest blast that happened at Anime Expo 2025 Black Clover is officially coming back! Studio Pierrot is again taking the lead, and the teaser visuals gave fans goosebumps.
This is the same anime that inspired every viewer with Asta’s “never give up” spirit. Ever since the hiatus, fans had only one question “Will it return?” And finally, Crunchyroll’s Industry Panel announced that a new season is on the way.
No release date has been confirmed yet, and cast/staff details are also under wraps. But let’s be real just the confirmation is enough to set the fandom on fire!
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 – Darker, Bloodier, Wilder
Netflix and CD Projekt Red have officially announced Season 2 of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Director Kai Ikarashi (who previously made S1E6 “Girl on Fire”) is bringing a new 10-episode storyline with brand-new characters. And it’s supposed to be even darker, bloodier, and emotionally destructive than Season one.
Studio Trigger is back, and teaser artwork has also been revealed. No launch date yet, but fans are buzzing because this isn’t just a sequel—it’s a whole new cyber-nightmare.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 – Melancholy Continues
Madhouse dropped a beautiful teaser for Frieren: Season 2, with a January 2026 release. If you have watched the first season, then you already know that this anime is a soul-touching journey about life, time, and loneliness.
This time the teaser also had the same emotional pull a quiet promise that you will feel something for the first time, not just watch. It’s easily one of the most poetic anime stories being continued right now.
Bleach: TYBW Part 4 – “The Calamity” Is Coming… Slowly
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War ka Part 4 titled “The Calamity” has been officially confirmed for 2026. But let’s be honest fans were a bit disappointed because no exact date or trailer was found.
Still, Studio Pierrot’s track record is solid, and Ichigo’s final battles deserve cinematic-level animation. If you have watched the previous parts of TYBW, then you know that this finale is going to be massive.
New & Rebooted Anime Announced
Tougen Anki – A Bloody New Hero Arrives
Another highlight at Anime Expo 2025 was Tougen Anki, which first screened in the U.S. before its July 11 Japan release. This is a battle-heavy, fantasy-action anime with themes of demons, bloodlines, and destiny.
If you liked Jujutsu Kaisen or Blue Exorcist, then Tougen Anki is your next addiction.
Fist of the North Star – Rebooting an Icon
If you’re an old-school fan, then this news is for you Fist of the North Star is getting a 2026 reboot to celebrate its 40th anniversary!
The panel teased the cast and visuals, and OG fans were literally cheering. The original anime is known for its insane action, exaggerated expressions, and iconic one-liners. “Omae wa mou shindeiru?” Yep, it’s making a comeback!
Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show – Fresh, Freaky, Fantastic
Necronomico, an original anime by Cygames, premiered just before the Expo on July 1st but made waves during panels. It’s weird, creepy, and a gift for cosmic horror fans.
Think Junji Ito meets sci-fi humor. Definitely not your typical anime this is something totally new.
Panels, Premieres, & Insider Peeks
Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc – The Movie Is Coming!
If you thought Chainsaw Man ka Season 1 was wild, then wait till you see Reze. Anime Expo par movie announced ho gayi Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc is officially coming as a film, slated for October 29, 2025.
It’s explosive, romantic, and heartbreaking all in one package. Plus, studio MAPPA has confirmed that the animation quality will be movie-level.
