Even though Crunchyroll, the leading anime streaming service, experienced some issues with subtitles and delayed new releases this past week, the Fall 2025 anime season is proving to be very strong. Popular returning shows like *My Hero Academia* and *Spy X Family* have been particularly well-received despite the technical difficulties.
Beyond the highly anticipated new anime, some hidden gems from last season are finally gaining the attention they deserve. This week’s most popular anime are also considered the best, and are definitely worth watching for any anime fan.
One-Punch Man Season 3 Aims to Be The Anime’s Redemption Arc
While he might not get much recognition within his own universe, the hero known as Caped Baldy is currently a hot topic online. This is because a live-action adaptation of *One-Punch Man* has been officially announced, which is thrilling and a little scary for fans. For those unfamiliar, *One-Punch Man* is a funny superhero series that spoofs the genre. It follows Saitama, a man who became unbelievably powerful – able to defeat any enemy with just one punch – through a surprisingly simple daily workout of 100 push-ups and sit-ups.

Fans are excited for the return of *One Punch Man* on Hulu on October 12th, after a six-year wait since Season 2 in 2019.
