KADOKAWA has unveiled its financial performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, shedding light on the anime titles that spearheaded net sales during the highly anticipated Spring 2025 season.

A surprising standout, "The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl," ascended to the coveted position of the leading anime-only revenue generator. This title impressively eclipsed even juggernauts like the globally celebrated "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-".

Re:ZERO's Overall Success and Anime-Only Standing

While "Re:ZERO" commanded a robust $3.4 million in anime-only revenue, securing its place as KADOKAWA's top-performing title overall, it remarkably landed in fifth place when focusing strictly on anime-only earnings. This distinction highlights the unexpected strength of other series in this specific category.

The titles that surpassed "Re:ZERO" in anime-only earnings were: "The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl," "Once Upon a Witch’s Death," "The Shiunji Family Children," and "Please Put Them On, Takamine-san." This diverse list underscores the varied successes within KADOKAWA's anime portfolio for the Spring 2025 season.
