CBR’s Official Fall 2025 Anime Series Power Ranking (Week 6)

by

The Fall 2025 anime season, running from October to December, got off to a strong start with popular returning series like My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, and Spy x Family. But what really stood out was the release of two major anime films – Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc – creating an unprecedented double feature for fans.

Chainsaw Man Continues to Make Its Mark on Anime History With the Reze Arc

This season’s biggest surprise hit has undoubtedly been Chainsaw Man. Though the series, created by Tatsuki Fujimoto and following a poor young man who merges with a Devil, was already popular after its initial anime season, many worried the three-year wait for new content would dampen enthusiasm. Instead, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc proved to be a massive success, earning widespread critical praise and surprisingly strong ticket sales.

After its debut in Japan almost two months ago, Chainsaw Man is still performing strongly at the box office, both domestically and in America, where it consistently ranks among the top three films, following Black Phone 2 and Regretting You. This success seems to be inspiring creator Fujimoto, as the second part of Chainsaw Man manga is receiving high praise and achieving impressive results.

My Hero Academia’s Explosive Final Season Keeps Fans Talking (and Debating)

While Chainsaw Man is gaining attention in cinemas, My Hero Academia remains the most popular anime on television. The sixth episode of its final season continues a trend of high-quality installments, making it some of the best the 8-season series has ever produced. This has sparked a friendly rivalry between My Hero Academia and Chainsaw Man fans, recently focused on a debate about which series has the more powerful and dynamic character: Bakugo or Reze.

It’s always fun to debate who would win in a fight, but anime fans are truly benefiting right now with both My Hero Academia and Chainsaw Man delivering incredibly high-quality stories. Just as My Hero Academia begins its major showdown between Deku and Shigaraki, it’s become the most popular anime on Anitrendz, and continues to be a hit on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Breaks More Records Ahead of Its China Debut

With all the buzz around Chainsaw Man, it’s easy to overlook that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle recently became the highest-grossing anime film ever. Though its initial success slowed after months in theaters, Demon Slayer is about to see another surge in popularity. The movie is now being released in China, where it’s already proving to be a big hit.

The new film, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, is expected to earn over $1 billion worldwide, especially if it performs well in China. As of today, pre-sale tickets in China have already brought in almost 6 million dollars. This makes Infinity Castle the best-selling foreign film release in China’s pre-sale history, surpassing Avengers: Endgame. Just like Tanjiro Kamado swiftly defeats demons to protect his sister Nezuko, the movie is quickly breaking box office records.

One Piece Makes Waves on Multiple Fronts – From Manga to Live-Action

One Piece is currently the most popular anime series globally, and it continues to thrive. A recent announcement of a three-month pause in production next year hasn’t slowed it down. The anime is still going strong, especially now as it enters the exciting Egghead Island Arc.

The popular anime One Piece is currently generating a lot of buzz, and there’s been exciting news about its live-action Netflix adaptation recently. Netflix has announced several key actors for the show’s third season. Adding to the excitement, the One Piece manga is also captivating fans with its ongoing flashback arc, the God Valley Incident, which is revealing important details about a pivotal moment in the story’s history.

Spy X Family Season 3 Gives the Right Blend of Heart and Humor to Offset All The Recent Anime Hype

Even without the big, viral moments of shows like My Hero Academia or the massive popularity of Demon Slayer, Spy x Family has consistently been a popular anime this fall. It’s impressive that this heartwarming and funny series about the Forger family has kept viewers engaged, even with so much excitement happening in other action-packed shows.

Spy x Family remains incredibly popular, holding the number 2 spot on Anitrendz’s top ten anime list, just behind the final season of My Hero Academia. After a dramatic and emotional arc focusing on Loid’s past, the latest episode of Spy x Family Season 3 has returned to its familiar, lighthearted slice-of-life style. While fans are enjoying the return to comedy, the impact of Loid’s backstory still adds emotional depth and reinforces the show’s focus on family connections.

Ranma 1/2 Splashes Cold Water in the Faces of It’s Doubters This Fall

With so many popular returning shows and hit anime movies, a remake of a classic series quietly launched at the start of the Fall 2025 anime season. Now, after six weeks, Ranma 1/2 Season 2 is finally starting to gain attention. This remake has reintroduced the beloved martial arts comedy to a new generation of anime fans.

The anime centers around Ranma, a boy who gets turned into a girl whenever cold water touches him. He can change back to being a boy if splashed with hot water. Recently, the series became a top 5 hit on the Anitrendz chart. Within the show, Akane is currently the most popular female character, and fans are most invested in a romantic pairing between Ranma and Akane.

May I Ask For One Final Thing? Fights For Its Honor as a Top Anime Just Like Scarlet Would

Despite a slow start, the anime May I Ask For One Final Thing? has become a popular hit this Fall. The show, a funny and exciting blend of action and romance, follows a determined woman getting revenge on her former fiancé. As it approaches its seventh episode, May I Ask For One Final Thing? is now a top trending anime on Anilist.

The anime May I Ask For One Final Thing? is quickly gaining popularity and has climbed to the #3 spot on Anitrendz! It’s only behind two other massive hits, My Hero Academia and Spy x Family. Fans of the series are thrilled with its success.

Solo Leveling Season 3’s Confusing Delay May Have Finally Been Explained By Recent Rumors

Earlier this year, Solo Leveling was the most talked-about anime of the season, and it continues to be incredibly popular on Crunchyroll even after the final episode aired. After taking a break to allow other shows to shine, Solo Leveling is back in the spotlight. Recent rumors suggest a movie adaptation may be coming soon, generating a lot of excitement.

Although there’s been no official confirmation, rumors are strongly suggesting that a Solo Leveling movie is being developed. It started with a statement from the series creator, Chugong, indicating he knew about potential plans, and has been fueled by recent leaks and reports. While fans should still be cautious about unconfirmed information, the lack of news about a third season of the anime could be because a movie is in the works.

My Status as an Assassin Steals The Fall Season’s Isekai Anime Crown

The anime My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s is shaping up to be the most popular isekai of Fall 2025. Though the story itself isn’t groundbreaking, Studio Sunrise is consistently producing beautiful animation and artwork, making Akira Oda’s adventures with Amelia and Night a visual treat.

With its striking animation, My Status as an Assassin is consistently one of the most popular anime online as fans await Episode 6 on November 10th. It’s currently trending on Anilist and is among the most-watched shows on Crunchyroll. The series has also climbed to #6 on Anitrendz’s top 10 list, beating out other popular Fall anime like This Monster Wants to Eat Me and Season 3 of To Your Eternity.

One-Punch Man Season 3 Isn’t Even Funny Anymore

Watching Season 3 of One-Punch Man, I’m not seeing things get any worse after episode 4, but unfortunately, they aren’t improving either. There was a lot of anticipation for this season to address concerns people had before it even aired, but so far, it’s just not delivering. Each week seems to bring a new issue – like the strange way Garou slid down a hill in episode 2, or the changes made to Royal Ripper’s character in episode 3 that didn’t align with the original material. It feels like there’s no clear path to a satisfying resolution.

Usually, a lack of major controversy surrounding an episode of One-Punch Man, like in Season 3, Episode 4, would be a good sign. However, it seems fans have become disillusioned and lost interest in the series. It’s disappointing to see a show with so much potential fade into the background of the anime community. Unfortunately, what was once a highly anticipated parody of battle manga is now often seen as a letdown.
