Fall 2021

Anticipation of Crunchyroll Fall 2021

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

The battles of Lena and the Eighty-Six continue as they try to find a safe-haven in Season 2 of 86 EIGHTY-SIX.

The first season was really good and I am pretty hyped for the next season of this.

Blade Runner: Black Lotus

Studio: Sola Digital Arts

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

This looks pretty good and I am excited to check this one out. I thought this already came out but perhaps it was on another platform or just some really early previews.

BUILD-DIVIDE -#000000- CODE BLACK

Studio: Liden Films

In Shin-Kyoto, people battle to become the new governing lord in a battle of intense card games!

I like a lot of the card game shows so I’ll check it out.

I haven’t seen any of this so will not start here.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc

Studio: ufotable

Tanjiro and his comrades fight fierce demons in a new mission within the Yoshiwara Entertainment District!

Demon Slayer is a pretty good show. This arc is suppose to air in December so not sure if it is a Fall or Winter show. I’ll watch it either way.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc

Studio: ufotable

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

I was able to see the movie when it released on Crunchyroll and it was good but not sure what they hype was about. I’ll definately watch it and Rengoku is a character I would like to learn more about.

Digimon Ghost Game

Studio: Toei Animation

A brand new Digimon story is arriving, this time with ghosts and holograms entering the mix!

I don’t really want to watch this one.

GANBARE DOUKICHAN

From the creator of Miru Tights comes a new anime about three coworkers and their everyday lives.

This what looks to be slice of life looks good. I’ll give it a try.

Not going to watch this one.

The Muv-Luv story continues as the Tactical Surface Fighters continue the fight against the extraterrestrial species BETA.

Probably not.

Platinum End

Studio: Signal.MD

From the creators of Death Note, a young boy must fight against 12 other humans to become the next god of the world!

I can’t say I really like Death Note but I have to give this one a try as Death Note is really popular with probably the majority.

POP TEAM EPIC REPEAT

Studio: Kamikaze Douga

Probably not.

Restaurant to Another World 2

Studio: OLM

Another great show I am excited that got a season two. Good food is always good.

takt op.Destiny

Studio: MAPPA, Madhouse

Interesting plot tag line. I might give this a try.

Can’t tell if this is part two. Do I need part one first.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride OAD

This show had it’s moments and I would be ok to check this one out.

This tag line sounds good. I’ll watch it.

Not super sold on this one. Maybe.

Two girls chase after their dreams in the ancient capital in this healing slice-of-life anime about an aspiring maiko and the house chef!

What an amazing show.

One Piece is killing it! Let’s Go!

I really like the story progression.

Turned out better then expected. I like it.

TROPICAL-ROUGE! PRECURE

Studio: Toei Animation

A brand new PreCure series is on Crunchyroll, and now it’s time to get tropical!

Haven’t seen the first one.

Out of 34 shows 13 I really want to watch, 5 I’ll give a try and 5 if I have time.

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 have the most hype for One Piece, Fena: Pirate Princess, Let’s Make a Mug 2, Kiyo in Kyoto and 86.Comparing last Summer to this Fall season it looks like I am going to be watching about the same amount of shows. That is a lot. I was also able to watch Demon Salyer Mugen Train the movie. I might be going out on a limb here but I’m not sure what all the hype was about. It was definitely a good movie for sure but not sure how it passed Spirited Away.
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.
