Fall 2023 Anime Watchlist - The Season that Had Too Much

-

There's Too Much Anime Next Season

Where the hell do they expect me to find time for all this????? There's 36 shows airing next season that I want watch!! WTF???? That's more than 5 shows a day I'm going to have to plan all my time around. And this is during the time of peak holiday retail??? I'm going to be so damn busy. 

Bruh...

anyways...

MY TOP 4

--------


The Apothecary Diaries

This series reminds me so much of the TV series HOUSE, M.D. that It hooked me instantly. When you add in a smart gremlin-like girl, and pack it all into ancient China; this is a uniquely intriguing series that can keep everyone enthralled. I reread the manga from start to finish about every 2 weeks these days, because each time I crack it open I find a new page I love. Watch this, then go out and buy them books!!


FRIEREN: Beyond Journey's End

What's to say about Frieren? You're going to cry. A lot. Especially during the first episode. Go give your loved ones a hug, because they're not going to be there forever - that is what this show has to tell you. After the premier though, I'm looking forward to seeing Frieren and Fern on their adventures and Frieren being generally a goofball. The soundtrack for this show will be an insta-buy if I can find a CD for it, because it's done by the same genius that did Violet Evergarden. 



The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

We're getting part 1 of, what I hope to be, many, many parts of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, this fall. This series is PURE Parody - think Gintama, but for the Harem/Rom-com genre. I adore this manga; it was one of my favorites from last year when it made it's English debut. From the poster art though, it looks like we're only going to get 12 episodes at best, and probably only see maybe his first handfull of gals (he's over 40+ in the manga at this point i think on the JP side...). Go give this series a watch, support the release, and then hopefully, maybe we'll get to see the rest animated.


Shangri-La Fronteir

Shangri-La Frontier is Sword Art Online without all the Edginess and the Sexual Assault. The series is entirely players in a game, playing the game. This is Bofuri without the Parody. It's just straight up, super high adrenaline action, with a vast and interesting world, and fun characters to boot. There's no "if you die in the game, you die IRL" plot to this, but somehow I felt like the stakes were even higher than SAO or the like, because when the players risk they're items, or the NPC's risk their lives, there's no coming back for them - and the idea that one of the lovable NPC's in Shangri-La Frontier might bite the dust is WAY more believable to me than Kirito or Asuna actually dying in SAO. I will be counting the days till I get to see that Weathermoon fight scene. 


Beyond my top 4 though, there's a whole basket of new series I'm excited to watch listed below here in no particular order.

Hungry for Volume 3 Sorry, I couldn't resist the urge to pun. But for real. When is volume 3 coming out, cus I need another serving of this pronto. (again, I apologize for the food jokes). With that, my thoughts...   ...5/5 by the way. I'll say that up front.  There's your TL;DR if you only wanted to see a score. If you missed my review of volume 1, you can find it here. Manga Review: "She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat" vol. 1  Book 2 was great. Just great. There were a number of new and delicious looking dishes and each and every one of them made me hungry. Actually, physically hungry. This manga is a feast for the eyes. It's been years since I lived in Japan (I left in 2015 to return to the US for health reasons), but this has me hankering for Japanese cuisines I've not had in ages. Roll Cake, Character Bento, Stollen, Anko. Good lord I need to go order food....  Hopefully listing a bunch of the foods they eat in this volume didn't spoil anything,

Manga Review: "I Don't Know Which Is Love" vol.1

I don't know if this is the only harem yuri series that exists... but it's the only one I think I've ever read. I'm a sucker for cute romance series. So, when I saw that we were getting a light-hearted new yuri series from Yen Press I decided I had to pick it up. I'd say I'm a pretty big fan of the harem romcom genre to be honest, since I grew up on a steady diet of Tenchi Muyou and the like. So, the idea of a yuri harem series intrigued me. I did a quick google search for "yuri harem manga" and couldn't really find much - certainly nothing on my shelves. So, this would be a first for me. The plot for this one: In high school, Mei was in love with a girl who left her when she found a boyfriend, now in college, Mei is determined to get a girlfriend. I'd say the struggle in this is going to be making JUST ONE girl happy, because from her first day of school Mei already has a sea of admirers, each of whom falls for a differnet aspect of Mei based

Manga Review: "Run Away With Me Girl" vol. 2

I had Norah Jones's "Come Away With Me" stuck in my head after reading this for some reason I was on the fence about whether or not I was going to continue this series after the first volume, despite giving it five stars, but after reading the 2 nd book I’m glad I did. The ‘running away’ starts here and I definitely enjoyed seeing them escape. I’m very hopeful for the relationship between Maki and Midori and I wish them the best (reasonably sure we’re heading toward a happy ending now not some lovers’ suicide/tragic thing, but who knows). More than anything I just want Midori’s fiancé to disappear from existence. Dude is a scumbag. Hoping he’s not in book 3 much. This manga has this weird way of flittering between beautiful and depressing that it’s rather tough to read, but I think it’s worth it. When we see Midori from Maki’s perspective and she’s always sparkling it really hits me with a sense of wonder – but then you see the world from Midori’s side and things are rar
