Anime Expo 2025 (AX2025) was the place to show off new, upcoming anime series, and Viz Media knows that perfectly well. That’s why they were eager to show off all the anime they have at AX2025. Their list boasted quite the range of high-profile anime series. Bleach is one of the most famous ones on their list, with the new Thousand-Year Blood War getting all that attention, of course. However, a surprise appearance from RWBY also lent their fame to the show. Even in spite of the show not quite being an anime, but that’s just a technicality at this point.

But that’s enough out of me for now. Mayhaps you might be curious as to what anime Viz Media showed off at Anime Expo 2025, and the details they unveiled? Well, read on below:
