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

As each work approaches its finale, the rankings are becoming more stable. However, "Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE" is gaining attention for its rising ratings, ranking fifth on "reddit".

The original comic, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", is a science adventure about rebuilding civilization in a post-apocalyptic world. This long-running series, now in its fourth season, has a strong fan base.

"Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE" is also popular in Japan. In particular, the latest episode "Until We Meet Again" broadcasted and distributed from September 11 brought a significant turning point, creating a buzz on social media. The ensuing whirlwind development may potentially lead to further rating increases.

This week's overseas reaction saw the "triumvirate" of "DANDADAN", "My Dress-Up Darling", and "The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity" chasing each other in popularity. The return of "The Summer Hikaru Died", which had a break this week, and the rise of "Dr. STONE", among other factors, suggest that there will be plenty to watch for next week, even as the season approaches its end.
