Fall 2025 First Episode Awards

Wooper: Fun fact for any longtime anime blog enjoyers out there: in just over a month, Star Crossed Anime will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Of course, its current incarnation bears so little resemblance to the blog’s original format that it might as well be a completely different site (and technically, it is), but I was feeling nostalgic. Not even nostalgia has stopped us from covering seasonal anime for all these years, though, so here’s another First Episode Awards post, this time with the new One Punch Man’s apparent shittiness as our great unifier. Personally, I’m waiting on the upcoming Star Wars and Tatsuki Fujimoto anthologies before passing judgment on this season – I’ll be covering both for the site in the coming weeks, along with whatever else tickles my fancy, so you’ll hear from us again soon!
