This week’s anime schedule: One Piece 25th anniversary special, Dan Da Dan Ep 3, Blue Box Ep 3 and more

The fall season continues with the third week of October, equally packed with anime titles, if not more. Numerous Netflix shows, such as Blue Box, Ranma ½ reboot, and more, have already won over a loyal fanbase. Dan Da Dan and Dragon Ball DAIMA are on their way to becoming the biggest shows of the season with multiple streaming platform premieres on Netflix and Crunchyroll.

Meanwhile, Bleach’s new adventure is also streaming on Hulu / Disney Plus. However, the long-running pirate saga of One Piece will be taking a break, as per the latest announcement. Therefore, Episode 1123 will be coming out sometime in 2025. In the meantime, the Toei Animation production’s special episode celebrating the 25th anniversary of One Piece will be out this week, so fans won’t have to go fully without Eiichiro Oda’s creation.
