As a follower of seasonal anime, the speed at which subtitles are released directly affects my viewing rhythm. Official subtitles are usually much slower.
A good world-building not only makes a work enjoyable, but also makes people want to explore more of its details and settings.
If these were to be adapted into anime (or get new seasons), they would definitely be huge hits. Land of the Lustrous is a great example.
The number of new anime each season might decrease due to this policy, but the quality should improve. It's a worthwhile trade-off.
The example of "Odd Taxi" is very fitting. It gradually became a hit through word-of-mouth. In the current environment, it might not have that same opportunity.
When watching new anime each season, try watching it once without subtitles, then watch it again with subtitles. You'll improve very quickly.
As a seasonal anime follower, the overall quality of 2025 is better than 2024. There are highlights in all four seasons, making it really hard to choose.
The distribution of streaming platforms for new anime each season is becoming increasingly fragmented. As someone who follows anime, I need three different platforms just to keep up with everything.
Every season of new anime has the potential to produce a new KTV hit. Recently, Jujutsu Kaisen would definitely be on the list.
The competition for anime in the fall of 2027 will be very intense. With Makoto Shinkai's new work along with other major titles, viewers are in for a treat.
