No preview for Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu (Komi Can’t Communicate)? Or is that in the pipeline?

Episode 1 already aired in Japan (October 7), but streaming starts October 21.


They never preview a show if an official stream isn't available. It probably will be in the preview guide once it is though. Jahy was in the guide even though it started nearly a month after the summer season started.

Kagi-Nado is a short that seems to be a group of parodies of all kinds of stuff, but seems to start by doing each parodie's ending first -- I guess? The characters are chibi-extra short, kind of like Isekai Quartet. The little segments in it are blink and you will miss it short, but I liked them. I just want more, much more.

On Crunchyroll and Funimation both, for now.

In case anybody wants to say how ridiculous Rit's sword is in episode 2 of Banished from the Hero's Party, I just want to point out that it is a very real weapon called a shotel, and not something the designer's dreamed up.

Watched the first Ep. of Komi' and it was OK, nothing great and I felt it lost something in the adaptation, still one of the better new shows this season.

86 & MT are going well - as expected.
Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu - is still looking promising
Takt Op. Destiny - borderline dropping this, style over substance, no surprise she was his sister.
Shin no Nakama - at least it's started off better than the last drugstore show.

I'm hoping "Saihate no Paladin" doesn't go "wise man's grandchild" on me as it's got potential...

These are easy drops for me, some are just plain terrible:-
Ancient Girls Frame
Build Divide
Deep insanity
Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire
Muteking the Dancing Hero
Tesla Note
Visual Prison
Worlds end Harem

Yep as someone who is disabled, and has had issues with hearing and speech Kings ranking absolutely gets it.

The one thing I would prefer not to see is for his swords play to be good just because he is deaf and effectively mute because magic bull&@$.

If they just want to go with no everyone ignores him and its the only thing he has so he devotes himself to it, and put in a lot of time and effort into it that's great, and actually is extremely common for disabled people.

Somewhat surprising that there are not media only preview streams available (as is done elsewhere) so reviews could be published prior to the release date to generate more interest.

Ranking of Kings has the best premiere from this season. Looking forward to seeing Bojji overcome all the barriers in order to become the strongest king! His bond with his father is sweet. I'm so glad one of the parents cares about him

Fantastic first episode. I especially loved the sparring scene between Domas and Daida. Beautiful, fluid animation!!!

I finally got around to episode 0 of Lupin and yeah, it was a solid way to send of Jiigen's OG seiyuu. It was definitely a visually conservative episode but considering the most important part of it is the scripting and prefomances that's perfectly fine.

Love that my two standout seasonals by a wide margin were the first (Heike Story) and last (Ranking of Kings) to premiere. It’s like eating a pretty mediocre sandwich overall albeit with artisan, high quality bread.

Is The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! guaranteed to continue in the streaming reviews? I see it isn't in the poll despite being aired over two cours like Aquatope.

The second cour of any show isn't guaranteed Daily Streaming reviews if it ranks too low. We've got limited resources, unfortunately.

If you are referring to ranking in the poll, then Jahy is missing from the poll. If you are referring to page views on the reviews, that's too bad then.

Ah ok, added Jahy. I didn't know it was a continual run instead of a split.

And after 3 weeks into the season, here's what I stuck with (so far):

Selection Project: A pretty good original by Doga Kobo and by their better team, which shows a lot: it's beyond pretty and it has great character acting. It's an idol reality show, but I think it has an appeal beyond the core idol fans. I've heard Idoly Pride is similar, I haven't watched that one yet but I intend to. Hopefully it gets voted in, it has certainly got mine.

86 II: 86 was one of my favorites this spring and it continues to be.

Let's Make a Mug 2: Finally we can vote for it, please do, I'll shill it 'till the end of times. Despite being a touristy iyashikei anime, it treats the characters and its subject fairly and after 2 episodes (I haven't watched episode 3 yet), it looks like it's going to be even better than the first season.

Primagi: The show would worth a watch for Myamu alone, she makes a lot of good expressions. But it's much beyond that, it's a great anime for kids that can be enjoyed by adults alike. I also have fondness for Miruki who's been introduced in episode 2, she's an obnoxious brat who's up to no good but I can't hate her for her mannerisms alone. It's also the first of the Pretty Series to be simulcasted so I believe it absolutely has a place among the weekly reviews.

Faraway Paladin: This show wasn't even among the ones I planned to watch but Rebecca convinced me and I've heard good things about it. I worried about the studio, they don't have a good track record, but after the first episode, my worries have been tempered, it looks like it's going to be a good adaptation.

I haven't watched Sakugan and the Isekai Restaurant beyond their first episodes; I can't judge the former yet and I don't think there would be much to talk about in the weekly reviews about the latter, so I haven't voted for it. I still haven't got around Heike Story and the Vampire Astronaut show yet, but I still intend to. I might check out Ranking of Kings as well, it sounds promising.

I have also voted for Aquatope among the continuing shows. Looks like the second cour has the potential to be even better than the first, at least so far.
