The first day of the year a new batch of Dubbed Detective Conan episodes are dropping on Netflix, I may be in the process of watching those already when I post this, or about to start them. And then we’ll get the Episode Zero special on Saturday with the first movie The Time-Bombed Skyscraper going up on YouTube that night as the climax of Cinema Saturdays. The first new Manga case we get in 2025 should be a new Kaito Kid appearance, but we can sometimes go over a month with only Anime Original episodes.
The Simuldubs for Watari-Kun and Spy x Family season 3 should be finished sometime in January.
For the Winter season the only show I know for certain I’ll be making an attempt to watch as it airs (or as it’s Dub airs) is Fate/Strange Fake. I’ve been hyped for it for over two years now. I’ve been holding off on doing any Fate/ rewatching so that I can do that while this airs like I did watching Gundam stuff while GQuuuuuuX aired. So I intend to make it a Fate/Full winter. And maybe I'll watch some other Narita shows too.
Frieren is a show I’ve already concluded I prefer binging by arc, and according to some rumors it sounds like the new season may have only one arc, so I’ll likely wait.
Spring is going to have 4th seasons for three shows Re:Zero, SlimeReincarnation and Classroom of the Elite. Each of these are ones I also know I tend to prefer Binged, especially with Slime’s penchant for doing multiple Council of Elronds. But I feel less dogmatic about it then I do for Frieren.
Liar Game looks like it could have the potential to remind me of why I loved Liar Liar back in Summer 2023.
Summer will have a new season for Magical Luimierre. I liked season 1 but I’m not sure I liked it enough for the show to maintain my interest.
The upcoming Detective Conan movie will be released in Japan in April but as usual we who need English Subs probably won’t be able to see it till between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
There is a lot of stuff that may or may drop this year, it’s uncertain. The new Raildex shows, Darkside Item and season 4 of Railgun, the new Nanoha project, new Code Geass project, new seasons for Mushoku Tensai, Boochie The Rock, Alya speaks Russian. Maybe new seasons for Skeleton Knight and Deadliest Assassin and MobuSeka, and for non sequels I’m interested in Girl Crush and Ruri Dragon.
It almost feels like "Looking Forward" is a misleading title when I’m mentioning so few truly completely new shows. But that’s the thing, the New shows I wind up liking are not usually what I was hyped for going in but something which catches my attention in the moment, or even after it’s done airing. That’s the point of being a New show, they’re the pleasant surprises while the sequels and spin offs to shows I already like are what I rely on.
Update January 6th: I forgot to mention the Gundam Hathaway sequel, that's something I've been excited for.
There is also the matter of Dubs for things that have been out in Japan, Girls Und Panzer Das Finale 4 and Lupin The IIIrd Immortal Bloodlines is confirmed to be getting a Dub already, I'm hoping Zenigata and the Two Lupins will as well.
Update January 18th: I had more or less given up on trying to follow anymore PreCure shows, I respect the franchise immensely but a stretched episode show to nail thing just right to engage me. But then I learned the new 2026 PreCure starting in February will be in part a Detective Show with a Detective Conan reference in the trailer, and so I figure I outta give it a show.
