The Anime We're Most Hyped to Watch on Crunchyroll This July

From cursed crushes to nyandemics, July's anime lineup is stacked.

If you needed a reason to cancel plans and stay inside this winter, Crunchyroll just gave you eight. July is packed with sequels, strange new stories, and absolute chaos (in the best way). Here’s our pick of the most exciting anime dropping this month:

DAN DA DAN Season 2 – July 4

The chaos continues! If you love aliens, ghosts, awkward teen crushes, and kinetic animation that makes your eyes do a little happy dance, DAN DA DAN is back for round two. Momo and Okarun dive deeper into supernatural weirdness to help Jiji, a friend haunted by ghosts. Expect exorcisms, powers that keep leveling up, and enough bizarre energy to rival a UFO convention.

Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant! – July 4
A fantasy anime where the real weapon is a well-seasoned wok. When adventurer Dennis gets kicked out of his party, he says “goodbye dragon slaying, hello dumpling making.” This heartwarming (and hunger-inducing) series blends slice-of-life with fantasy flair. Come for the monster customers, stay for the emotional food moments.

Secrets of the Silent Witch – July 5
She may be the world’s most powerful magic user… but she’s also cripplingly shy. Monica Everett can take down dragons but would rather evaporate than speak in class. Equal parts magical drama and awkward teen comedy, this one’s for the introverts with world-saving potential.

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 – July 6
The cosplay couple of our hearts is back! Marin and Wakana return with more fabric, more feelings, and more friendships. If season one had you squealing over their chemistry, prepare for even more adorable moments, upgraded outfits, and emotional growth.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 – July 6
The ghostly chaos of Kamome Academy ramps up in this beautifully stylised supernatural romp. With traitors among the Seven Wonders and mysteries unfolding, Hanako, Nene, and Kou are in for a wild second round of curses, secrets, and bathroom hauntings.

Nyaight of the Living Cat – July 7
You’ve heard of zombies. Now get ready for… cats?! In this dystopian furball frenzy, touching a cat turns you into a cat. Humanity’s downfall? Our inability to resist a fluffy tummy. Cute, campy, and kind of terrifying, this one’s a must-watch for feline fanatics.

Solo Camping for Two – July 7
Introverts unite… separately! Gen just wants to enjoy his quiet camping time, but fate has other plans in the form of Shizuku, an overly eager beginner. Cozy, comedic, and perfect for anyone who likes nature and a little bit of chaotic energy.

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 – July 20
The monster brawls are back, and they’re bigger than ever. With Kafka wrestling his Kaiju identity and an even greater threat looming, season two promises more epic battles, emotional stakes, and a deeper look at the Defence Force’s toughest fighters. If you're into monster transformations and military drama with heart, this is the pick.

TL;DR?
Whether you’re into cursed romances, camping hijinks, or cat apocalypses, July’s anime lineup is proof that Crunchyroll is thriving and we are feral. Now, excuse us while we update our watchlist and prepare our snacks; we've got a lot of bingeing to do.
