Of all anime titles streamed on ABEMA in the first half of 2025, TV anime "The Apothecary Diaries" Season 2, which began airing in January 2025, recorded the highest number of streams. This series, with its intricate plot development and the protagonist Maomao’s intelligence and wit, has gained immense popularity. It took the number one spot in every category, including overall, new releases, and across the teens, twenties, and thirties-and-over age categories, demonstrating its unwavering popularity.

Among the new anime, "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" also received strong support, especially from younger audiences, placing second overall. It secured the second spot among teens and twenties, and achieved third place among viewers in their thirties and above, showing that its weighty "academics x conviction" theme resonated with audiences across generations.

Family anime series like "ATASHIn'CHI" and the "Crayon Shin-chan" franchise appeared in multiple rankings for both overall and age-group categories, reaffirming their steady popularity as "classic series enjoyed by the whole family." Additionally, the gourmet anime "Oishinbo," representative of the Showa and early Heisei eras, ranked fifth in both the overall and thirties-and-over categories, demonstrating its enduring appeal.

In the new anime category, "Bogus "Skill Fruitmaster" ~About that time I became able to eat unlimited numbers of Skill Fruits (that kill you)~" and "Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest," which were exclusively distributed on ABEMA, as well as "Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-"—already popular during its first season—garnered a high level of support, demonstrating strong interest in isekai-reincarnation and skill-based light novel titles.
