What a Summer its been. So many things continue to happen in the world. Let’s look forward to the Fall season and hope that we get a few minutes of joy and excitement of your favorite shows to watch.
I am going to list the Crunchyroll titles of the Fall season in the category they are listed under and give a short thought.
New Simulcasts
Anime KAPIBARASAN
Snuggle up with this adorable series featuring Kapibarasan and their animal friends!
–Art looks not for me. Not watching.
Attack on Titan Final Season
The colossal final season of Attack on Titan approaches as the survey corps members find out what awaits them across the sea.
–I’ve watched Attack on Titan and there are so many things I don’t like about this show. The only thing good about it is that others seem to like it and it has definitely become a gateway show to some anime watcher. Not for me.
Burn The Witch
Get bewitched in Reverse London with this three-episode movie from Bleach’s Tite Kubo!
–This looks kind of good but seems to be a cheat as it is a movie. I’ll probably watch it.
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai
Based on the classic Dragon Quest series, follow Dai and his party in their grand adventure to defeat the demon lord Hadlar!
–I think this could be ok. I’ll give it a try.
D4DJ First Mix
Mix it up and groove with D4DJ, the new anime based on the Bushiroad game!
–This could be good. The art seems good and I like Bushiroad but I haven’t played this game. I’ll give it a try.
EAGLE TALON ～Golden Spell～
The classic Eagle Talon series returns after the organization uncover the “Golden Spell,” a mysterious power that controls people’s will!
–Art looks not for me. Not watching.
Genie Family 2020
The classic Tatsunoko Genie Family returns for the series’ 50th-anniversary anime series!
–Not sure. Probably not watching.
Golden Kamuy Season 3
The Immortal Sugimoto and Asirpa aim to reunite and find the hidden gold, even if that means teaming up with former enemies!
–This show is amazing! They have taken so many left turns when I thought they were going right and I don’t even know where this is going. I have really liked this show and can’t wait.
Grand Blues!
Get ready for some massive (joke) drops in this Granblue Fantasy spin-off comedy!
–Grand Blue Fantasy I saw at a Sakura-Con Convention showing a few years ago and I really like it. I heard there is some sort of game that I haven’t played. I’ll watch this one but I usually don’t like comedy so not sure if I’ll stick with it.
HAIKYU!! TO THE TOP
The Karasuno High School Volleyball team continues to reach TO THE TOP as the Nationals Tournament continues!
–Another continuing show that is amazing! Haikyu builds Dragon Ball Z tension but it is so much better and the art and scenes are just so good.
I’m Standing on a Million Lives
A lone wolf student is sent to another world where he must become a hero to save himself and his party!
–Looks like another isekai. The art looks good so I’ll give it a try.
Idolish7 Second Beat!
IDOLiSH7 tries to deal with their growing popularity as each member takes on new responsibilities and faces new hardships.
–Haven’t watched the others so probably won’t get to this one though it seems like it could be good.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III
The dungeon hero Bell returns for the third season of Danmachi with an encounter with a monster girl that will change Orario!
–There seem to be a lot of really awesome continuing shows and this is one of them. I can’t wait to see what happens to Bell next.
Iwakakeru – Sport Climbing Girls
Aim for the top (of the rock climbing wall)! These girls are gonna show what their core sport is all about!
–I am a rock climber and this show is hyped up to 1,000% for me. The art looks really good and the art looks like the director is a climber or knows a lot about climbing because it looks really realistic.
Is The Order a Rabbit? BLOOM
Get ready for more tea time at the Rabbit House as Is The Order a Rabbit? BLOOM is served!
–Seems like a continuing show that I haven’t seen. It looks pretty good but probably won’t get around to it.
JUJUTSU KAISEN
Get ready for JUJUTSU KAISEN, the next Shonen Jump hit only on Crunchyroll!
–Seems like they are really pushing this one. It looks good. I might try it.
Katana Maidens – Tomoshibi
Katana Maidens returns with an OVA adapting the Katana Maidens: Kizamishi Issen no Tomoshibi smartphone game!
–Haven’t seen the previous one’s so I probably won’t get to this one.
Mr. Osomatsu 3rd Season
Those wild and goofy sextuplets are at it again with the third season of Mr. Osomatsu!
–Haven’t seen this one and probably won’t get to it.
Noblesse
After awakening from an 820-year slumber, Raizel tries to fit in with modern high schoolers while protecting his fellow nobles!
–Another one they seem to be really pushing. Seems like it is continuing from a movie or show. I don’t remember. I watched a you should watch this before you watch this show and it was confusing and I had no idea what was going on. I might try this one but not really sure.
One Room Season 3
As the protagonist, follow the story that develops in your (one) room.
–The art looks really good on this. The title reminds me of a movie called room, where a mom and son were trapped in a room. I don’t get that from this art so I might try it.
Onyx Equinox
One young Aztec boy is summoned to act as humanity’s champion as a fight between gods breaks out.
–This looks like it could be pretty good. Not sure the audience it is gear towards. I think I’ll give it a shot. Looks like it could be Yu-Gi-Oh ish.
Rail Romanesque
All aboard Rail Romanesque, where one young man is set out to revive his small town of Ohitoyo with the power of railroads!
–This could be interesting. Might give it a try.
Strike Witches: Road to Berlin
That is the Bottleneck
Anything could happen at Hot Hot Mart, one suburban convenience store known for its hand-made dishes.
–Art looks intentionally bad due to budget or other. The write-up seems like it could be interesting. Might give this a try.
THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME OAD 5
The adventures continue for Rimuru and the Class S students in the fifth OAD of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!
–This show was good. Not amazing but your higher then average isekai. I’ll watch it.

–Did’t realize that Inuyasha needed more but I’ll watch it.
Continuing Simulcasts

Overview
Out of 38 shows, 8 I really want to watch, 10 I want to try and 1 maybe.
Compared to Summer 2020 which had 29 shows, 7 I really want to watch, 2 will try out and 9 are maybe’s.
Summer 2020 started off looking good but a lot of shows fell off for me. Many of the shows that I want to watch in the Fall are continuing shows that I am really excited for. One Piece, Fire Force, Dan Machi, Haikyu and Golden Kamuy. But the show that I am really hyped for is Iwakakeru Sports Climbing Girls. A climbing show is what I’ve been waiting for and if done right, it could be amazing. It could have all the aspects I like about anime, training, evolving, slice of life, tension, excitement and real climbing art that I’ve already seen. I can’t wait!
Other shows I want to see this season are re-watching shows and I want to see Yowamushi Pedal, Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Akame ga Kill! And, I know this is not anime but I am excited for Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Also, if I continue Boruto where I left off that is going to be a lot of watching as I’ve only seen a handful of episodes.
What are you excited for in Fall 2020? Leave a comment below.
