Hope you’ve been watching anime on Netflix, because there’s plenty more coming this year. Since this weekend is AnimeJapan, the streamer pulled back the curtain on what it’s offering for spring and summer, which includes some returning favorites and fresh new works. Let’s dive in, shall we?
Devil May Cry
Studio Mir’s adaptation of the hit Capcom franchise premieres in a few weeks, and Netflix revealed more information about its voice cast. For the show’s Japanese dub, the roles of Dante, Lady, and Vergil will be Toshiyuki Morikawa, Fumiko Orikasa, and Hiroaki Hirata—the same actors from the games. Additionally, rock band Evanescence is working on a song for the series, so you can expect to hear them when the show premieres on April 3. Check out a new clip below.
Sakamoto Days
Sakamoto Days started airing in January, and its first half just ended today! Its second half will begin in July, and will introduce Gaku, a key member of X’s organization voiced by Koki Uchiyama in the Japanese dub. At the moment, there’s no word on if the anime will be renewed for a second season.

Moonrise
This one’s started getting a push by Netflix in recent weeks ahead of its release on April 10. Developed by WIT Studio (Spy x Family) with designs by Fullmetal Alchemist’s Hiromu Arakawa and written by Tow Ubukata (Fafner in the Azure), Moonrise is set in a near-future where an AI called Sapienta has created a program that sends Earth’s criminals to the Moon, which has since become a warzone and home to a rebel army. After losing his family to a terrorist attack, Jacob Shadow joins Earth’s army to scout the Moon and bring down the resistance leader.
The Summer Hikaru Died
Based on Mokumokuren’s horror manga of the same name, the anime focuses on high schooler Yoshiki, who feels there’s something…off about his friend Hikaru. Something about him changed after he went missing six months ago during a trip to the mountains, and now Yoshiki has to figure out what to do about his changed friend, particularly since supernatural stuff is starting to happen around them, too. Look for The Summer Hikaru Died to hit Netflix sometime in the summer.
One Piece
If you’ve been watching One Piece on Netflix, you won’t have to wait too long to keep current. The second part of the Egghead arc will start airing on April 12, with new episodes airing weekly going forward. Crunchyroll watchers already know the show’s coming back the week prior: April 5 will feature a recap of “Egghead Part I” and the first new episode since the series’ hiatus, followed by another episode on April 6, and a new one every week after.
