10 Best Anime to Binge on Crunchyroll in November 2025
November is a great time to settle in and watch anime, and if you prefer binging to waiting week by week, Crunchyroll has a deep library to explore. Here are ten picks well worth your time this month.
10. Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf
This 2024 reboot brings fresh life to the classic light novel series by Isuna Hasekura. A traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence meets Holo, a wolf deity who once blessed a village’s harvests. Now forgotten and ready to move on, Holo joins Lawrence on his journey north in exchange for her wisdom. The series has a warm and unhurried tone with a genuinely charming dynamic between its two leads.
9. Horimiya
The 2021 adaptation of the long running manga delivered on years of fan anticipation, and the companion series Horimiya: Piece filled in the chapters that were skipped. Kyoko Hori is the school’s popular student who hides her home life completely. Izumi Miyamura is her quiet classmate who looks totally different outside school. When he unexpectedly brings her injured brother home, the two begin sharing sides of themselves no one else gets to see.
8. To Your Eternity
Season three arrived in the Fall 2025 lineup, continuing the deeply emotional journey of Fushi, an immortal being that can take the form of anything it has encountered. Starting as an orb placed on Earth to observe life, Fushi slowly builds a sense of self through bonds with humans across centuries. The series is honest about loss and memory in ways that linger long after each episode ends.
7. Wistoria: Wand and Sword
A second season is coming in Spring 2026, making now a good time to catch up. Will Serfort is determined to become a Magia Vander, one of the five greatest magicians in the kingdom, despite having no ability to use magic at all. He makes up for it with extraordinary physical strength and sheer determination. The worldbuilding is creative and the animation is widely praised.
6. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
A second season of this spin-off is arriving in Winter 2026. Set five years before the main My Hero Academia story, the series follows Kouichi Haimawari, a college student whose minor quirk left him ineligible for hero status. When he crosses paths with an unlicensed hero named Knuckleduster, the two start working in the shadows to track down the source of a dangerous drug causing chaos across the city.
5. Mashle: Magic and Muscles
In a world where magical ability determines your worth and those without it are hunted, Mash Burndead lives quietly in hiding with his adoptive father. When his secret gets out, the only way to protect his family is to enroll in a top magic academy and fight his way to the highest rank, all without a single spell. The comedy is broad and energetic and moves at a genuinely fun pace.
4. Fruits Basket
The 2019 through 2021 remake covered the complete manga story and remains one of the most emotionally satisfying anime of its era. Tohru Honda, a warm and earnest high school girl, ends up living with the Sohma family after losing her home. She soon discovers that many of the Sohmas carry a hereditary curse that transforms them into animals of the Chinese zodiac under certain conditions. Rather than turning away, Tohru simply opens her heart, and the story that follows is about healing in the gentlest and most genuine way.
3. My Hero Academia
The final season is currently airing and being praised for some of the strongest animation and most emotionally charged moments in the show’s run. If you have not seen it yet, now is a great time to work through all the seasons before the finale arrives. The series follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without powers in a world where most people have them, on his long journey toward the hero he always dreamed of becoming.
2. Haikyu!!
One of the finest sports anime ever made and an enduring comfort watch for a huge number of fans. Shoyo Hinata is a short but fiercely driven high school student who wants to follow in the footsteps of a legendary small volleyball player known as the Little Giant. After a brutal first match against a prodigy setter named Tobio Kageyama, the two end up as teammates at Karasuno High School and have to turn their rivalry into something that works. The storytelling is deeply human and the matches are exhilarating.
1. The Apothecary Diaries
Another season is on the way, and if you have not started this series yet, there is no better time. Maomao is a girl with deep knowledge of medicine and poisons who gets sold into service at the imperial palace. She plans to keep her head down, but she cannot stop herself from solving every mystery she encounters. The series is sharp, funny, beautifully performed, and keeps getting better as it goes. It has fully earned its reputation as one of the best anime in recent years.
My take: The Apothecary Diaries is the clear standout on this list, and I think the gap between it and most other shows is wider than the ranking suggests. But honestly any of these ten would be a worthwhile way to spend a November evening.
