‘My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s’ (2025–)

Okay, so there’s this anime about an entire class getting transported to another world, which is a pretty common setup, right? But here’s the twist: one of the students, Akira, is secretly way more powerful than the chosen Hero. It’s cool because he’s growing in strength quietly, and the battles are totally unbalanced in his favor. It actually premiered in October 2025, and Crunchyroll is streaming it. They gave us a heads-up beforehand about who was working on it – it’s the team from Sunrise, and thankfully, they’re doing a simulcast, so we can watch it as it airs in Japan.

‘Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill’ (2023–)
