The new scenes include Suzu crossing paths with Rin in the fall of 1944 and the winter and spring of 1945. Time will tell. At the end of the day, the show's novelty is still there. This change to the isekai formula, though simple on the surface, actually manages to accomplish quite a bit. But when I went through the premiere for a second time, and I rewatched the scene where Adele describes how her only wish was to "make normal friends and live a normal life," it clicked. — I envisioned the comedy to just be the amusing character banter seen in almost all modern iterations of Sherlock Holmes, paired with the usual serious undertones of an urban mystery. Anime made for advertising aren't bad by default, but I doubt this will make the game appealing to anyone. This was a tough pick, but I have to hand to the school drama Stars Align for taking the … Stand My Heroes: Piece of Truth isn't horrific. No. The first three episodes of this show were released simultaneously, and I had to really hold myself back from moving on to the second episode before getting around to writing this impression. I found this development to be rather confusing at first, particularly because of how meta and unoriginal this show actually is. Many of the designs are cool though, I'll give the show that. Summary: Comedy is hard to recommend due to disparate senses of humour, but Africa no Salaryman (TV) is comfortably one of the most gratifyingly shameless and surprising shows this season whether you enjoy its bestial brand of entertainment or not. This concept, though outlandish to say the least, has actually worked out quite well for the Azur Lane mobile game. Cookie We went and watched the first episode of nearly every single anime this season so you don't have to! If it's bubbly jokes don't fit your sense of humor, and if the show's cutesiness doesn't charm you (but how could it not? If that sounds rather "meh" to you, don't worry—you definitely aren't alone. Actions are shown with more weight than I feel like they deserve, and the cities in this world exist within the bulbs of a gigantic candelabra (yes, literally), with street lamps providing the only source of light in the absence of a sun. There's just so much that you could watch... and to help you make the best selections for your Fall 2019 watchlist, we went through the premieres for 29 of this season's shows and provided our detailed first impressions here. Despite how lazy this character intro is, it's actually quite efficient—right off the bat, I knew exactly what kind of MC we had on our hands, that he was going to be edgy, aloof, overpowered, and very popular with the ladies. None of this is much different from the norm, and I was struggling to put a finger on why exactly I was perceiving the show the way I was. But that's not to say Africa no Salaryman (TV) doesn't have potential in its visuals: its tail feathers, the outrageous artstyle contrasts and switches, are still something to gawk and squawk at (just ignore the Fortnite dances in the opening theme). So to that end, Phantasy Star Online 2's anime adaptation has proved quite interesting to me, because it gives me a deeper look into a game I've been well aware of—but never able to play—for a good number of years. Sadly, once I took off the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia, I found a few other little issues to pick at. Ready for humor and novelty that isekai stories rarely manage to deliver, ready for a wholesome tale of a pet shop owner in a comfy isekai world. The simple art style leads into that initial illusion of ordinariness with visibly plain character designs, but by no means are the visuals completely generic. However, what I got instead was a distasteful comedy wearing a tattered layer of mystery that I had to grimace my way through. Isaiah is a student at the University of Western Ontario. Our heroine, Adele von Ascham, died in her last life after she saved a little girl from getting hit by a truck. 's premiere is an exceedingly pleasant affair. But the setup basically goes like this: cute inventor girl creates a robot that has the same personality as her deceased sister. The character designs are strong, certainly. Maki Katsuragi, a transfer student, catches Toma’s attention due to his quick reflexes. The first episode of Babylon is filled with palpable suspense, all of which culminates in an unexpected kill shot at the very end of the premiere that left me desperate for more. In a world where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are both found abandoned at a church on the same day. Summary: An otherwise decent moe club sports show that's greatly hindered by a sport that doesn't translate well from manga to anime. While the season has a few weeks left, these are the 10 best anime so far. I'm by no means a professional writer, but I feel like the premiere started too far into the story.

Kemono Michi or Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru than this disappointment.

Privacy Settings This isn't to say the show is without fault, of course. Summary: If you aren't a fan of shipgirls, there's really not much for you here. Of course, our reviews won't be able to tell you the whole story (shows can get better or worse over time, after all). A show like this lives and dies by the way it handles its intrigue. It feels at times like the show is trying to romanticize the idea of being a chuuni, as if it's trying to evoke nostalgia of some kind. Get ready to laugh, because 2019 has a ton of awesome new comedy anime titles in store. Sure, sounds like an easy, enjoyable watch each week. Summary: Hataage! The public prosecutor it centers around, the levelheaded Zen Seizaki, provides a source of much-needed hope amidst all the dark. The fanservice in that regard is also rather concerning, because the first episode alone swings between anime-standard boob jiggles and sloppy mouth-to-mouth feeding right out of hentai, so it's pretty unpredictable in that department. While the thematic and comedic material is some of the most entertaining this season so far, it's hard to ignore the roughly drawn character designs and hazy overlay that feel like I'm watching the whole show in 480p when it's in full high definition. Mairimashita! It's actually pretty good. Finally, I can't help but feel the need to point out how big of a year this has been for Kenjirou Tsuda: his iconic voice has popped up everywhere from police shows to isekai across every season in 2019. There's simply no context for the setting, characters, or even the comedy — it immediately jumps into boring gags that have zero setup to make them remotely amusing. There's apparently an uncensored version of this show. There seemed to be a lot more focus on bouncy "plot" as well, and actual plotting took the backseat; Rin and Aoi are rapidly shoehorned into a race with students from a rival school, dramatic buildup and ironing out plot holes be damned, and when the race began, it took me far longer than it should have to fully process how the show had managed to get to that point at all. Where it fails, however, is providing a reason for people outside the target audience to stay along for the ride. Because Seiya isn't enthusiastic about the whole summoned hero thing, the standard opening sequence of summoning -> entering new world -> fighting first monster gets changed enough that it doesn't feel stale at all. Around eight minutes in—when the level of chuuni reaches a boiling point while Mizuki is visiting the boys' clubroom—the humor actually clicked. Stars Align is a pretty fun sports anime about a high school tennis club. However, the show isn't able to escape from the "dumbfounded main character" trope, which is only made worse by the fact the main character is meant to be a massive bookworm. Welcome to a futuristic world where technology has evolved to the level where an … However, Natsuki, Itsuyo, and Mutsumi are just a scrambled mess of harem tropes and inconsistent character traits. As a result, there simply wasn't a very strong sense of setting. Urano is reincarnated in the medieval era as Maine, a five-year-old. It's a classic tale, and if Ahiru no Sora can maintain the momentum of its "flat-arc" approach and deliver well on the basketball itself (the animations we've seen so far of Kurumatani dribbling are eye-catching without being over the top)... this could become the first sports anime in a long time to really draw me in. He is working on a case with his assistant Atsuhiko Fumio involving a false advertisement around a pharmaceutical company’s new drug. As such, I've had a reasonable amount of interest in the game for a while—enough to get excited when a Western release was finally announced this year, but not enough that I know anything about its story or world beyond what's readily available on the surface. No one would have faulted you for expecting it to be vapid and filled with moe. Seasonal anime chart for Fall 2019. MyAnimeList has got you covered!

Kufa Vampir, a cold and overpowered assassin who's been hired as Melida's tutor, but is actually there to kill her. The Jet Racing isn't bad at its core, either, and could have made for some truly high-octane sequences had it been presented without the stripping aspect as its central draw. For now, my impression of this show can be summed up with a simple "pretty okay." Look, I get it. Over the last few years, more and more anime with episode lengths of 10 minutes or less have been coming out. I wouldn't mind a mystery comedy series and I could forgive the misuse of character naming if the first episode's humour wasn't so unfunny and out-of-place. One is bright and bubbly, the other cold and reserved. Although, to be fair, the senseless execution is also a pretty major factor. Though it didn't exactly blow me away, Babylon's thoughtful and poignant atmosphere definitely pulled me in. And not just funny, but laugh-out-loud hilarious. If I were to describe the first episode of Assassins Pride in a single word, I would choose "extra." Day in and day out he trains to be the best.

It's a concept that's been done enough times before, but Val x Love does its best to set itself apart with a Norse mythology tie-in, which it downright disregards aside from appropriating Norse terms like Valkyrie and Hrugnir. All the Allied ships present, from the Unicorn to the Laffey, quickly leave their now-burning harbor to try and fend off the Axis attack. Summary: Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia is a tricky watch due to a lack of necessary context, but its technical merits, intriguing world, and mildly interesting characters are still worth checking out for non-game fans. RANKED: 10 Best Fate Series Cosplays That Look Exactly Like the Characters. Notice at Collection It really depends. Summary: The first episode of this cyberpunk noir focuses, to its detriment, more on advancing plot than building a world that the audience can truly get invested in. However, leaving the poor girl like that for such an uncomfortably long time was completely unnecessary. However, for me at least, Mairimashita! The content itself isn't quite worth 1/5 in my book, but the jarring presentation literally gave me a headache. Because I've never played the game and didn't have the luxury of already knowing who the characters were, the majority of the premiere was, to me, little more than a revolving door of similar-looking bishounens that I was never given enough time to develop even the smallest trace of interest or investment in. Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious is 12 episodes and aired for one season. Of course, as far as I can tell, this show isn't about being realistic or having a truly compelling story. However, the visual comedy still contributes to Oresuki's inherent humour, particularly through extreme facial expressions and tone shifts. After leaving Beastars for second-to-last on my watching list, I started to worry that I wouldn't see anything worth more than a 4/5 out of Fall 2019. And when shots land, the piece of clothing that gets hit is "purged." It has just the right amount of over-the-top that occasionally leaks into the absolutely baffling, so much so that I had to pause the episode more than once to wheeze in both amusement and disbelief. He expresses his thoughts and deductions in the form of amatuer rakugo, which does line up with the original character's brash personality and odd mannerisms. As someone who labelled Aggressive Retsuko (ONA) as their favourite anime of 2018, I was both keen and hesitant about Africa no Salaryman (TV), which visually follows the same premise of anthropomorphised animals in an office environment. Their stated goal is "helping people," and the first episode mostly seems to be about helping the so-far friendless Mizuki make some friends. In a world where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are both found abandoned at a church on the same day. As someone who grew up on board games, I was greatly appreciative of and completely entranced by the unexpected level of detail put into every single board game — I was particularly ecstatic to spot Ticket to Ride and Codenames in the background. I'm pretty sure she's not going to attract a harem (which, I might add, is a trope I absolutely despise). Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy didn't start off on a great foot, and it took me a few minutes to get in on the joke. "Valkyries grow stronger as long as they are in love" — provided you ignore the actual meaning of Valkyrie and define "being in love" as stripping in the middle of a battlefield to commit sexual assault. Summary: Extremely fuwafuwa. There's no angst, no pent-up frustration. We went and watched the first episode of nearly every single anime this season so you don't have to! The persistent imagery of the turning water wheel (which now haunts my dreams) perfectly captures their predicament and the endless cycle of violence that will continue to turn as long as blood flows through it. Watson first meets with Sherlock to persistently ask him for help on a case, but whatever issue he had is quickly disregarded and left unanswered as the first episode rushes through its setup to deliver a case conclusion out of nowhere.

The world of five years ago was a much simpler time for the anime branch of the Fate media franchise: you watched Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, and maybe Fate/stay night, then you'd be set. I like the art. The story so far goes like this: Rei Izumi, the heroine and audience self-insert, is unaffected by a number of drugs, including chloroform. Every story beat felt out of order or completely disconnected from each other like it was a demo reel containing five different ways to start the same episode. Literally pounces on him, pushes him down, and starts scritching and scratching in an act of assault. Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun is 23 episodes and aired for one season. The fantasy-comedy anime follows Seiya Ryuuguuin, a hero who was summoned by the goddess Ristarte to a fantasy world. The show is likely going to fall very, very flat for anyone without a vested interest in Azur Lane or at least the concept of shipgirls. It also features a female main character that gets reincarnated into a younger girl's body, rather than the standard teenage guy that gets transmigrated as himself. The occasional pantyshot is fine, if a bit tasteless.

Again, the characters are really cute. Mugen no Juunin: Immortal is about as arthouse-y in style as you can get for a mainstream TV anime. Tokunana is very much in the same vein (it even has Kenjirou Tsuda as a main character and similarly jazzy music), but throws in some Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin for good measure, resulting in a decently fun mix of police action and entertaining characters. Summary: Honzuki no Gekokujou is a breath of fresh air for the isekai genre in many ways, but its niche concept and mellow pacing won't be for everyone. Sadly, "interesting" does not always go hand in hand with "compelling." Keep in mind that IMDb doesn't separate a show by seasons, meaning sequels will be excluded, but spin-offs will be.
