Filmarks, Japan’s largest movie, drama, and anime review service with over 100 million total reviews, has announced the ‘Top 10 Winter 2025 Anime Satisfaction Ranking.’
This ranking targets new anime that began broadcasting or streaming in the Winter 2025 season (December 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025). It compiles Filmarks data as of April 1, 2025, and ranks titles based on their average score out of 5 stars, rather than a voting system. So, which anime claimed the top spot?
*Note: This ranking includes titles with over 500 reviews (Mark! counts).
While popular domestic anime such as ‘Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-‘, which started airing in the first half of January 2025, ‘Medalist’, and ‘The Apothecary Diaries Season 2’ ranked high, the top spot went to ‘Spider-Man: Friendly Neighborhood’ (10 episodes), a Marvel Studios anime series exclusively distributed on Disney+ from January 29th.
This work features the familiar and beloved hero from Marvel Comics, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, as the protagonist. It depicts the story of Peter awakening to his powers and becoming the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, with respect paid to the early comics. Yuma Uchida (known for roles like Megumi Fushiguro in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ and Reo Mikage in ‘Blue Lock’), who is a big Marvel fan himself, voices the Japanese dub of the protagonist, Peter.
‘Spider-Man: Friendly Neighborhood’ also features villains well-known from the live-action films, such as Norman Osborn, his son Harry, and others like Doctor Octopus, Unicorn, Chameleon, and Scorpion. Although this series is independent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which features crossovers of various Marvel heroes, popular heroes like Doctor Strange, Daredevil, and Captain America also make appearances, earning praise from Marvel fans.
‘The story’s composition, with Doctor Strange involved, is well-done, and the final episode was ‘Wow!” ‘I’ve seen several Spider-Man anime adaptations before, but this one is completely different!’ Reviews like these abound. ‘Spider-Man: Friendly Neighborhood’ is currently exclusively streaming on Disney+.
