Fall is here and things are definitely starting to open up. I feel like I am starting to meet up with other vaccinated people and go out and do things that I might not have done in the past few months. That of course leaves me with less time but I’ve always got time for anime.
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
86 EIGHTY-SIX
Studio: A-1 Pictures

Studio: Sola Digital Arts
Taking place in Los Angeles 2032, a new story in the Blade Runner universe unfolds in BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS.

Studio: ufotable
A brand new seven-episode series adapting the Mugen Train arc, including a never-before-seen episode featuring Rengoku!

Haven’t seen the first one.
Compared to Summer 32 shows 9 I really want to watch, 7 I’ll give a try and 3 if I have time (I watched a total of 16 shows in the Fall season and 3 of those I stopped watching. Out of the 13 shows I finished 11 were pretty good shows, and 2 more shows that were mediocre and could have been skipped).
I forgot to finish watching the Gloomy Bear show. I’ve been wanting to see what JoJo’s is about so I might check that out. I also want to check out Case Closed. My re-watch that I want to see is Outlaw Star and Haikyu. This is all basically what I said for what I was going to do during the Summer. Well, I guess I got distracted.
