ABEMA is turning every weekend of November into a mini anime festival. As part of its “Fall Anime Free Big Giveaway” campaign, the platform’s fourth weekend lineup brings nine currently airing shows together for free marathons from November 20–23, 2025. Headlining the slate is the first free marathon of Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, joined by titles like Gachiakuta, Gnosia and several new isekai adaptations that viewers in and outside Japan will want on their radar.
ABEMA’s Fall 2025 Free Anime Fest Hits Its Fourth Weekend
Under the “Fall Anime Free Big Giveaway” banner, ABEMA has been rolling out free catch-up marathons of new-season shows every weekend in November. The fourth round runs from Thursday, November 20 to Sunday, November 23, focusing on series from the Fall 2025 anime season. Instead of one or two highlights, ABEMA is putting nine different titles into rotation, with each block airing on either the main ABEMA Anime channel or the ABEMA Anime 3 channel and then sticking around for a limited free on-demand window afterward.
Nine Fall Anime Marathons and the Genres Behind Them
The headline pick this time is Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, the long-awaited anime adaptation of the Oguri Cap–focused manga spin-off. It shifts the horse-girl franchise into a more grounded sports drama tone, following a country track prodigy as she claws her way up to legend status—and this is the first time this cour gets a free ABEMA marathon.
Dark action fans get Gachiakuta, a gritty battle series set in a gigantic trash dump world where criminals are thrown away like garbage and monsters spawn from discarded things. On the lighter side, Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi 2 continues its comfy “salaryman with an online grocery cheat skill” cooking adventures, while Isekai Quartet 3 brings chibi versions of multiple hit isekai casts back into one chaotic classroom.
There’s also a cluster of fresh isekai and fantasy adaptations: Sozai Saishu-ka no Isekai Ryokouki, a healing-style travelogue about a resource-gatherer roaming another world; Mushoku no Eiyuu: Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakatta n da ga, where an overpowered reincarnated hero barely needs conventional “skills”; and Nageki no Bourei wa Intai Shitai Season 2, which follows an absurdly strong adventurer who just wants to retire. Rounding things out, Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! spins a gender-bent “I became my own raid boss” fantasy, while Gnosia adapts the cult hit social-deduction SF game into a looping space mystery.
Free Episode Ranges and Weekend Catch-Up Windows
Each title comes with its own free-viewing range. Gachiakuta airs episodes 1–19 in a pair of marathons starting November 20, with the latest episodes generally staying free for four days after broadcast. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray gets episodes 1–18 in noon and 9 p.m. slots on November 20; after the broadcast, episodes 1–17 remain free for one week.
Across November 21–23, Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi 2 and Isekai Quartet 3 each run blocks of their first six episodes, while Sozai Saishu-ka no Isekai Ryokouki, Mushoku no Eiyuu and Nageki no Bourei Season 2 offer between seven and nine episodes, with most of those staying free for about a week (two weeks in the case of Isekai Quartet 3). Gnosia airs episodes 1–7, and Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! goes up to episode 9, with that series also keeping all episodes up to the latest TV broadcast free every Saturday night. Exact time slots and links are listed on each show’s ABEMA program page.
ABEMA Access in Japan and Expectations for Overseas Viewers
For viewers in Japan, the setup is simple: ABEMA is a free-to-enter streaming service with multiple live channels and on-demand content, and these marathons are available without registration on the anime channels during their time slots, plus limited catch-up streams afterward. Upgrading to ABEMA Premium or ad-supported Premium unlocks even more titles and features, but the Fall Anime Free Fest itself is focused on no-sign-up access.
For fans outside Japan, things get trickier. ABEMA’s own help pages note that service availability and catalogs vary by country, and many TV anime streams are region-locked to Japan due to licensing. Some territories can access a subset of ABEMA’s library, while others will need to rely on local platforms—like Crunchyroll, Disney+ or HIDIVE—for these Fall 2025 shows instead. Rather than walking through workarounds, the safest approach is to check ABEMA’s official terms and your region’s legal services, then use this free marathon lineup as a handy watchlist of which new series Japanese viewers are buzzing about this season.
