While other podcasts did their end of year retrospective two months ago, why rush when you can take 3 months? In this episode, Sarah, Austin, Tori, and Bill break down the "best" anime of 2025, and by "best" we mean "the stuff we got around to, whether we liked it, finished it, or not". We've got Kowloons, we've got Kaisens, and do you finally want to know what the deal with Solo Leveling is? Well, I can't promise we'll tell you, but maybe we do! What were some of your favorite anime of 2025? Let us know by sending us an email at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com and we'll discuss it on the show. Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Opening check in about how 2025 treated us despite everything and our aspirations for 2026 00:20:41 - Sarah hosts a game where we guess what anime were at the top of the popularity lists on various websites 00:55:28 - What anime did we just dabble in this year and not finish? Titles include things like Anne Shirley, New Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Gachiakuta, Ranma 1/2, The Dinner Table Detective, This Monster Wants to Eat Me, Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!, City, The Summer Hikaru Died, etc. 1:39:53 - Sequels!~ My Dress Up Darling, The Apothecary Diaries, Solo Leveling, Dandadan, etc. 02:10:19 - Lupin the IIRD: Zenigata and the Two Lupins & Lupin the IIIRD: Immortal Bloodline 02:22:08 - Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc 02:30:46 - Chainsaw Man: The Movie -Reze Arc- 02:46:44 - Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise 02:54:28 - Let's Play 03:05:01 - May I Ask for One Final Thing? 03:20:15 - 100 Meters 03:38:16 - Kowloon Generic Romance 03:53:23 - Apocalypse Hotel 04:01:27 - What anime are we looking forward to for 2026? Note that we talk a lot more about various other anime that were brought up in the lists/comments submitted to us from members of our Discord, so the timestamps above are not exhaustive (the list provided in the show notes on our website is exhaustive, though).
