After a chill April season, things are heating up this July with a stacked set of new anime releases from MUSE. If you’ve been waiting for big sequels, offbeat fantasy worlds, and chaotic romances, this summer’s lineup might be the most loaded yet. Here’s what’s coming—and why your watchlist is about to overflow.
Dan Da Dan Season 2 Brings More Chaos, Ghosts, and Gorgeous Animation
Fans of Dan Da Dan finally get their wish this July as Season 2 kicks off. Momo and Okarun’s bizarre adventures continue when they visit Jiji’s house to exorcise spirits—only to stumble into something way more disturbing. The story promises a creepy twist on local customs, paired with even wilder visuals. Spanish director Abel Gongora, who handled the stunning Season 1 opening, joins the team to raise the animation bar even higher. Expect energy, weirdness, and some serious cosmic chaos.
Marin Kitagawa Is Back (and Can’t Handle Her Feelings)
My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 follows up on one of the most beloved romance anime of recent years. Marin and Wakana Gojo are back in the world of cosplay—and Marin’s heart is about to burst. As their bond deepens, expect plenty of awkward moments, gorgeous costumes, and slow-burn sweetness that fans of the first season already love.
Three Fantasy Series to Watch for Wildly Different Reasons – MUSE Summer Anime Lineup 2025
- I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince: Lloyd heads to a magical church after his last arc’s showdown, hungry to learn even more spells in his quest to master magic at his own pace.
- Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: A terminally ill gamer wakes up in the world of a strategy game and decides to build a kingdom with his favorite NPC, Atou. It’s a high-concept isekai with some serious world-building.
- The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses: Toto has godlike strength but is too timid to form a party—until three gorgeous girls ask to join him. The twist? They’re all secretly out to kill him. Peak rom-com chaos.
