As we wind down the Summer cours it's time to look towards the final quarter of the year, Fall. Typically Fall is were some of the heavy hitting shows drop but the past few years its been more of a mix bag across the entire year. Here are the titles I have on my radar.
Kiss Him Not Me: A romantic comedy about a fujoshi who wants her suitors to get it on with each other instead of her. Why not, worth a shot at least for a few episodes and seems to be somewhat popular.
Sengoku Choju Giga: This is a short form anime depicting various figures and events of the Sengoku (Warring State) era of Japan with cats!
Occultic;Nine: New paranormal supernatural tale about kids with abilities by the creator of Steins;Gate. I never had any interest in Steins;Gate, but I'll give this one a spin and see if its interesting or not.
March Comes in Like a Lion: From the creator of Honey & Clover a slice of life possible romance about a shogi player. Could be good, worth a shot. Can't help comparing the main character with Arima from Your Lie in April. This one is one of the most anticipated anime of the season by the masses.
The Great Passage: A slice of live drama about employees at a publishing companies dictionary department. The live action movie from a few years ago did pretty well with the crowds, so who knows?
Miss Bernard Said: A gag manga series, I love gag manga. Definitely worth a shot, even if it ends up sucking, I always checkout the gag manga ones.
Nyanbo: Probably the closest thing we will get to a Yotsuba!? anime. Adventures of the lives of the Cat Danbo characters that popped up last year. This should be a good replacement for Bananya.
Ajin 2: Ajin is an interesting and fun look at immortality, so it's highly welcomed that the anime is returning to continue the manga...but for how long? The manga comes out rather slowly and in some ways it could be nearing its end game.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blood Orphans 2: The first season of Iron Blood Orphans was one of the best Gundam TV series' in a loooong time. Maybe the fact it has nothing to do with UC helped, but maybe that's just me not being a die hard Gundam fan talking. It was rather surprising when this second season was announced because the original ended in a place that worked well for a conclusion. It will be nice to see these characters again and hopefully it won't fall to pieces.
Stella no Maho: School age slice of life comedy about a group of home-brew video game makers. If this doesn't collapse under the weight of meeting otaku expectations it might be good. I keep looking for something to match Genshiken in depicting otaku in their natural habitats.
Natsume's book of Friends Season 5: I should probably catch up on Natsume and his adventures with Nyanko-sensei. But it's great to see the return of this average quality super natural series.
All Out!!: I really don't do sports anime, but since its about rugby I'll give it a few episodes before allowing it to collapse under the weight of shonen formulaic story telling.
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari: Super natural slice of life show about a guy who ends up befriending a small tanuki(?) child.
