I didn’t expect the editorial staff to put Muv-Luv Alternative on the list, and am neither surprised nor disappointed by its absence, but I do think there’s an interesting story here for non-fans to follow.
The source material has long been considered impossible to adapt — Alternative is the final entry in a three-part visual novel series, which relies on lore and character building from the 50+ hours spent in Muv-Luvs Extra and Unlimited — and even fans of the franchise are wary. On Reddit, I’ve seen users basically disown the anime before it even premieres, insisting that interested parties should steer clear of the anime until they’ve put in their time on the VNs (for the record, I strongly disagree with and discourage this type of gatekeeping). However, fans in Tokyo who went to a screening of the first two episodes last week were quite impressed, and from what’s been disclosed of episode 1’s contents, the producers may have actually figured out how to adapt this unadaptable VN. I can’t wait to see if they’ve pulled off the impossible. |

I'm not the biggest fan of K-On myself (can't get myself to finish it). Sound! Euphonium was entertaining. A Silent Voice was decent for me, so was Liz and the Blue Bird. I would say that I have some problems with Naoko Yamada's overall directing, which I can mostly tolerate as I did enjoy some of her works. But one thing I can't argue is that she has a distinctive visual direction that is unique and pleasing. It seems to haven't been really mature in her earlier works, and I personally just started to appreciate it since A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird. Honestly her framing and visual language alone would make me dismiss the other problems I have with her. I suppose I'm also looking forward to Heike Story if not only to please my eyes with some beauties. |

My three picks for this season: Platinum End, mostly because of the Death Note guys' attachment to it; Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu (official English title when?), because it stands out as the most interesting to me; and Blade Runner: Black Lotus, because as a regular Toonami watcher, of course I'm going to. If not for being only familiar with half of the works featured and having only seen one of them in full, I'd have given Kaginado a shot too.

I'm annoyed that Lupin the 3rd Part 6 is not available for streaming where I live.

Pleased to see that 86 was brought up multiple times, as it's certainly my most-anticipated for the upcoming season, too. While I've long thought that the series' first novel is its strongest, anime-only viewers probably won't find the second season (which should adapt the second and third novels) coming up short on impactful content, especially given how well the first season was adapted.
Among other titles, Tsuki to Laika no Nosferatu is probably my next most-anticipated, as the concept intrigues me and the early trailers look well-made. Faraway Paladin (based on Rebecca's review of the first novel), the new Yuki Yuna series, and the returns of Restaurant to Another World, Demon Slayer, and Mushoku Tensei round out my list of top picks, but a few others look to have some potential, too. Overall, the season looks stacked, so I'm expecting one of my fullest viewing cards ever. |

The ones I’ll be watching are Lupin, 86, and PuraOre. Thieves, war, and ice hockey for me this season.

Interesting lists. I already started watching Heike Story, which is gorgeous and I hope remains accessible for people unfamiliar with its source material. I am planning to watch a few sequels, including 86 and Yashahime (the first season disappointed me but I still want to know what happens next, and how they’ll resolve the plot holes.) Most of the titles mentioned weren’t on my radar at all, but Sakugan, The Ranking of Kings and Faraway Paladin are now.

The anime starts just before the Genpei War kicks off...Neither The Clan nor the War lasted for 800 years.[/quote] |

Lupin's the only one I know of and am looking forward to... but it's on HIDIVE? Darn it. I'm not subscribed to that and didn't even know it existed anymore TBH.

Mostly excited for Mieruko-chan! I still haven't seen the Demon Slayer movie, but if they're recapping it for the new season I guess I'll watch that, too.

The shows I'll be watching this Fall in order of excitement:
1) Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - read the LN so looking forward to this bit 2) Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu 3) 86 4) Komi Can't Communicate - read it so interested to see how they adapt it. 5) The Faraway Paladin 6) Platinum End 7) Worlds end Harem - uncensored if available 8) Sakugan Alarm bells are already ringing for deep insanity, takt op, slow life pharmacy, build divide, megaton-kyuu & Digimon - so I'll avoid starting them. Might pickup selection project, visual prison & kings ranking if they get good reviews. |

Mushoku Tensei for me, no contest.
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat comes as a strong runner-up, just hope they don't botch the production values... |

I hope more people decide to try PriMagi. And as I've said a ton before, y'all should try Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure too.

It's possible you missed the ENTIRE sales pitch of the series, but not...the gross creepy horniness is NOT going anywhere. Want a similar series without the gross creepy shit, watch Faraway Paladin which is FARAWAY the better of the two.[/quote] |
