I haven't done anime centered posts in awhile now, as animes as a medium ceased to excite me for a few ears now. It's the start of a new season, and due to my having less time for trying out new games I have almost abandoned looking for new games. Now, it seems like the right time to watch a few shows as the year is almost at an end.
Let's restart a old tradition, shall we?
PS: I will mostly avoid sequels in this list of mine, as they are a bit difficult to fllow regarding the amount of backlog. Well, the new 'Jojo' show might be worth the time I guess.
Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken / That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
"Rimuru Tempest" is the new name of a slime in a fantasy world taken by a former 37-year-old human Satou Mikami after he is killed by a passing robber. Broken free from ordinary, stale past life, his fresh adventure in a fantasy world as a slime monster with unique abilities begins.
[ Well, the 'life in a fantasy world' setting is quite overdone already to be honest. But a series featuring the main protagonist as a slime does intrigue me a lot. ]
Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru / Run with the Wind
Kakeru, a former elite runner at high school, is chased for stealing food. He is saved by a Kansei University student Haiji, who is also a runner. Haiji persuades Kakeru to live in the old apartment "Chikuseisou" where he plans to team up with fellow residents to enter Hakone Ekiden Marathon, one of the most prominent university races in Japan. Kakeru soon finds out that all of the residents except for Haiji and himself are complete novices.
[ 'Sports' centered anime is always a safe bet for entertainment. This one promises to focus on marathon running, which is a new concept. ]
Goblin Slayer
A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It's the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue—a man who's dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there's no telling who might come calling next...
[ This might be something good, I am taking a chance with this one actually. ]
Hinomaruzumou
It is a divine ritual, a martial art, a combat sport—it's sumo!!
A "small" new student, Ushio Hinomaru, appears before the weak little sumo club of Oodachi High School! The words "big" and "heavy" are the rules to this sport, which does not fit this newbie any inch, but this guy goes and does what...?! Ushio and the small sumo club climbs its way to the top!
The goal is Hinoshita Kaisan! (a title for the highest rank in professional sumo, equivalent of Yokozuna)
A fired up high school sumo tale—no retakes allowed!!
[ Another sports/martial arts anime that I am quite hopeful for. This one has a successful manga which has been running for awhile now. ]
Karakuri Circus
The protagonist, Masaru, has just inherited a big fortune after the death of his father. However, people are trying to get their hands on it by any means necessary, even if it means killing him. Narumi helps Masaru from being kidnapped after fighting strange figures. He finds out that they're not humans, but wooden puppets with amazing strength. After a hard fight, Narumi is forced to admit that he's no opponent for them; and just when he starts to think that Masaru will be captured, Shirogane, Masaru's watcher arrives from France with a weapon, the puppet Arlequin. Here begins the story of Karakuri Circus.
[ A manga, which ended more than 10 years ago, has 40+ volumes is finally getting adapted. I am in, obviously. ]
These are the five shows that I am most definitely going to check out this fall. I might also check out continuing shows like 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind', 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' and 'Attack on Titan Season 3' or returning shows like 'Toaru Majutsu no Index III', 'Golden Kamuy 2nd Season' and 'Tokyo Ghoul:re 2nd Season'. Then again, I am also quite hopeful for some other new shows like 'Double Decker! Doug & Kirill', 'RErideD: Derrida, who leaps through time' and 'Gakuen Basara'.
This seems like a season of anime with lots of promises, let's just stay hopeful for now.
