2023 Fall Anime
This is honestly a loaded season full of new shows based on relatively new manga. Lots to look forward to
Spy x Family - Season 2
One of the most fun SJ series that have come out in a while. Season 1 was killer, high hopes for season 2.
Goblin Slayer 2
I didn't realize they were even making a second season. This was such a killer series. I'm really hoping they don't fall into the many mid-tier fantasy tropes out there in anime right now. I thought the appeal of the show was really Goblin Slayer himself and less about the lackeys along the way. So we'll see how it goes.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
This is definitely one of my highly anticipated series. It's about an elf who was part of the Hero's party and her life after he dies. (Since elves live longer) Definitely a darker take on fantasy but has some really solid fantasy and adventure vibes.
Rising of the Shield Hero - Season 3
Season 2 was pretty disappointing and slow. While this looks like it'll be more fast paced, it does look like a tournament arc of sorts. I know some aren't a fan of that kind of arc, but honestly I think it's exactly what this series needs to pick things up again. We'll see.
The Faraway Paladin - Season 2
This was legitimately one of my favourite fantasy series. I thought it was really well written and didn't rush things like other series. I'm looking forward to this season.
Sequels/Continuations:
Eminence in Shadow - Season 2
killer series with an anti-hero main character. Definitely worth checking out.
After-School Hanako-Kun
Hanako-kun spin off
Dr. Stone Season 3 - Part 2
One of the best novel concept series with nothing else in it's genre to compare to. Definitely didn't drop the ball on the recent seasons and still worth watching.
Dead Mount Death Play - Part 2
One that I didn't particularly enjoy, but has a decent sized manga following.
Tokyo Revengers - Tenjiku Arc
The continuation of the series. Might be just me but it feels like the series fell off after the first season.
The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent - Season 2
A more mature take on fantasy isekai that just started to get into romance at the end of last season. A solid combo of shoujo genres.
The Ancient Magus' Bride - Season 2 Part 2
One that I haven't had a change to check out yet but have only heard good things about.
Hypnosismic - Season 2
a weirdly addictive musical/rap series. Unique characters and honestly solid rap battles. One I'll be enjoying.
-- Related - Paradox Live - Music battle with what looks to be the same style of animation and solid character design. Definitely worth looking at if you're a fan of Hypmic.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse
A sequel of SDS. Looks like it could be a fun watch for the fans of the series.
New:
Shangri La Frontier
A new manga fantasy series. This may be a horrible way to describe but it is what it is - a new age SAO- full dive fantasy game. A gamer who only plays shit games, gets into a new massively popular MMORPG and is op.
One that I'm excited for because it ticks all the fantasy game boxes I like.
Undead Unluck
A relatively new manga series that gained a lot of traction in the last year or two. A gory action comedy that's super chaotic and a lot of fun.
Shy
Brand new hero manga series about a shy girl and her anxieties and struggles going into the hero world who grows and gains confidence as she becomes a better hero.
Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions
This is a manga series that I have kept forgetting the name of so never got a chance to read but all the covers for the manga look phenomenal. Likely the anime doesn't do him justice but it is what it is. Essentially sherlock in anime form. A PI with issues and the wholesome police detective work together to solve crime.
Other New Series:
Green - Fantasy
Pink - Romance
Red - Action
Purple - Drama
The Kingdoms of Ruins
A world where witches were hunted down by humans as science surpassed magic. A kid who was raised by a witch swears revenge on mankind.
This honestly looks solid. The animations are very cool looking and the mc seems to be an anti-hero. Will be looking at this one.
Under Ninja
A well known manga series about modern ninjas. Definitely a unique series for this season.
The Apothecary Diaries
A historical medical mystery show. I've heard the name before and I've also only heard good things. Will be worth a watch.
A Girl & Her Guard Dog
The granddaughter of a crime syndicate goes to highschool out of town and the current young boss lies his way into the same school.
Would be cute romance if it weren't for the fact she's 15 and he's 26..
Butareba - The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig
What the title says. A girl finds him and the story goes from there.
I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness
The usual light novel title. Honestly, doesn't seem as yikes as I initially thought, might just be harmless breaking the rules kinda thing. Could be fun, also a Capybara that strikes fear into people's hearts.
My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer
Looks like a wholesome series where an adventurer finds a baby, raises it and she becomes so strong she's busy working all the time. Just a cute father daughter relationship in a fantasy setting about her wanting to come take time to see him but being caught up in OP fantasy battles.
Ragna Crimson
Dragons vs Humanity - a human and a dragon team up to destroy all the dragons. Action fantasy series.
Berserk of Gluttony
I honestly added this because I thought it was hilarious. Looks like a combo of knock offs - the Gluttony skill from Tensura (reincarnated as a slime) and the mc being called Fate with the main girl who looks exactly like Sabre. I'll be skipping but its' here so you know.

Every year, I like to make my own anime meme awards for the important categories we really care about. Because who cares about best animation or anime of the year when we could find out who the biggest chad is?
Anyway, here are the nominations:
Prettiest boy
Shall Fen Shall (Sugar Apple Fairy Tale)
Every single character in Tsurune season 2

Well, there you have it: all the categories that really matter. I know I could have made this a poll or series of polls, but this is just something fun and silly I put together every year, so I didn't want anyone bitching about my choices or saying "you forgot ___!"
Can't wait to see what kind of bullshit Crunchyroll cooks up for their nominations this year!

After 2 years we’re back in this world! Felt like season 1 was very underrated when it aired, a lot of potential in this world, but it is a slow build up. Appreciate that they eased us back into the world in this first episode.
A very wholesome bonding experience between Bee and Will. Had a feeling the old man in the forest would end up being someone important, and of course he was the professor lol. That prophecy he gave seemed pretty ominous though.
Seeing a lot of praise for Will’s new Seiyuu, but man it’s been so long I honestly don’t even remember what he sounded like before lol. A voice change after a two year timeskip for a teenager makes a lot of sense though.
Overall pretty solid first episode back. LN fans been hyping this season up so got high expectations for it. Quality looks way better with the studio collab.

we always support nonbinary or possible genderfluid evil deities on this blog
to clarify the deity (named Stagnate) is the birb, or well represented by and speaking through the birb, or something
the guy is confused because the dragon he's fighting said wow dude you've managed to pull two divine chicks, when the birb previously looked like the figure on the right:
