How Are Overseas Audiences Reacting to Summer 2025 Anime? Jump Manga Adaptations Gaining Ground

As we enter September, the summer 2025 anime season is reaching its climax. Japanese anime continues to be a hot topic overseas, exhibiting various characteristics such as series that are highly rated both domestically and internationally, as well as some that are even more popular abroad than in Japan.

This article compiles overseas reactions to new anime series that premiered in July, based on rankings from various sites as of September 12, 2025.

This week, "DANDADAN", known for its occult battle action, continues to gather overwhelming popularity. It is ranked first on both "reddit" and "Anime Corner", maintaining its solid reputation.

Last week, we reported on the high praise for "My Dress-Up Darling" as a contender to "DANDADAN". However, this week, "Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku" matches the acclaim of "My Dress-Up Darling", forming a triad of leading titles.

"My Dress-Up Darling" is a romantic comedy featuring cosplay, and "The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity" is a story depicting high school romance and youth. Both are highly rated romance-themed works.
