Dandadan
The finale of the first season of Dandadan, which stopped right at the threshold of a new arc, left viewers on edge. Splitting the season into two parts was a strategic decision by Science Saru to maintain the impressive animation quality that has become the show's hallmark. This approach allowed the team to avoid risks that often lead to a decline in quality due to staff overload.
In July 2025, Dandadan returns with a new arc, focusing on the mysterious character Jiji and the incredibly powerful yokai named Evil Eye.
Chainsaw Man: Reze
The new spinoff of Chainsaw Man will center on Denji, who falls in love with a mysterious café worker named Reze. He faces a choice: remain loyal to his boss Makima or give new relationships a chance. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is set to be released in 2025 as a feature-length anime.

One Punch Man – Season 3
The third season of "One Punch Man" is set to premiere in 2025 in honor of the tenth anniversary of the manga's adaptation, which took place in 2015. The new episodes will be produced by J.C.Staff.
