Subj : Im gutted theres no One Piece episode this week, but I cant wait To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Mon Jul 21 2025 14:15:06 Im gutted theres no One Piece episode this week, but I cant wait to stream these 3 unmissable shows on Crunchyroll instead Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:03:36 +0000 Description: If youve not realized already, theres no new episode of One Piece coming out this week. To fill the gap, Ive picked three unmissable anime shows you need to catch up on. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Its only Monday and weve already started the week with disappointing news theres no episode of One Piece coming out this week. Why? To make space for coverage of the Japan elections, which has a knock-on effect for what international fans can see too. Dont panic just yet, though. Its the perfect time to catch up with any previous episodes youve not yet seen on Crunchyroll , or switch over to Netflix for the live-action version before further One Piece season 2 announcements start to roll out. But what if youre not in the mood for more of the Straw Hats shenanigans? Even though One Piece is undoubtedly one of the best anime shows of all time, it isnt the be all and end all. New anime shows are also paving the way for unmissable TV this year, and I think theres three you absolutely cannot miss this week. The Apothecary Diaries Having just wrapped up its explosive second season, The Apothecary Diaries is a must-see anime you might not have heard of. First airing back in 2023, the show follows Maomao, a young pharmacist kidnapped and forced into servitude in the emperor's palace. That sounds pretty bleak, but even though the story is inspired by ancient China, what we see on screen is all about unravelling conspiracies. Maomao uses her medical knowledge to solve the mysteries haunting the palace, where a dangerous political landscape begins to be revealed. By the end of season 2, the suspicion turns on Maomao herself, embroiled in a kidnapping case she had nothing to do with. No spoilers here, but theres also a huge identity reveal you need to keep your eye out for, and its directly related to Maomaos romantic relationship with Jinshi. The Beginning After the End If youre looking to start a series thats brand-new in the 2025 release slate, look no further than The Beginning After the End . Our leading man King Grey dies and is reincarnated as Arthur Leywin, essentially beginning a second life again as a baby. Its this kind of off-the-wall narrative thinking that I really love in an anime series, and this one strikes the perfect balance between unique intrigue and taking things too far. Season 1 is only made up of 12 episodes, so you can easily binge it within a week while One Piece is AWOL. Theres a great balance between plot action and anticipation. It also scratches a little deeper under the surface than other new anime shows have tended to. If youre looking for endless epic fight sequences, though, you wont find them here, but that is far from a bad thing. Dr. Stone Science Future Dr. Stone Science Future is the ideal choice for anime fans who want to jump into the same level of pre-existing lore that One Piece has built up over the years. Rather than functioning as a spinoff from the main series, Science Future is just another title for the main shows fourth and final season. Weve already seen half of it and the second cour premiered on July 10. This time around, our gang of misfits is focused on establishing a new nation with a million inhabitants, called Corn City. The Perseus crew and the Americans, led by Brody, are working together to build it, with Senku and Stanley playing their ideologies off against each other. Its likely that future episodes will show the pair working harmoniously together, but its going to be a messy and chaotic ride in order to get there.
