Welcome to the Fall 2018 Anime OT, will this season somehow do the impossible and be worse than the summer season? Only time will tell! The following are some of the potential highlights for this Fall season of anime.
1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind
Director: Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo Part 4)
Studio: David Production
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll
Trailer
The 5th instalment in Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, this time we're going to Italy to be Gangsters!
2.IRODUKU : The World in Colors
Director: Toshiya Shinohara (Lull in the Sea and on Maquia as Assistant Director)
Studio: P.A. Works
Streaming Service (US): Amazon Prime
Trailer
We get to see Shinohara's directing chops with this romantic drama original project after having worked on Maquia which aired in theaters earlier this year.
3. Run with the Wind
Director: Kazuya Nomura (Joker Game)
Studio: Production I.G
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll
Trailer
Once again Production I.G whether by choice or not is unable to do another season of Haikyuu, so here is another sports anime from them to attempt to fill that void. This running focused anime is an adaption of Shion Miura's novel, who previously had her Fume wo Amu/The Great Passage novel animated two years ago.
4. Release the Spyce
Director: Akira Sato
Studio: Lay-duce
Streaming Service (US): HIDIVE
Trailer
Last year we had Princess Principal to fill our spy girl needs, this year we have been given Release the Spyce. While the director hasn't had any directing roles before, the rest of the staff onboard for the project and the trailer released shows the potential for this show.
5. Thunderbolt Fantasy 2
Script: Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Original Creator of Fate/Zero)
Studio: It's a show about Puppets, what studio?
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll
Trailer
The king has returned after 2 years of slumber, all hail the final form of anime Puppets.
6. Goblin Slayer
Director: Takaharu Ozaki (Girls Last Tour)
Studio: WHITE FOX
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll, Funimation (Dub)
Trailer
Best next thing to fill that Berserk hole in your heart left wide open after the last two CG disasters of the series. If you want violence, gore and other unnerving events then this may be for you depending on which version (LN or Manga) they decide to stick closer to.
7. Bloom Into You
Director: Makoto Katou (Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru)
Studio: TROYCA
Streaming Service (US): HIDIVE
Trailer
A serious Yuri manga that's more drama then smut focused, should be an enjoyable show if the adaption is done right.
8. SSSS.GRIDMAN
Director: Akira Amemiya (Inferno Cop)
Studio: Trigger
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll, Funimation (Dub)
Trailer
Maybe we all have Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to the subject of Trigger created anime. Even after the latest disaster they gave us just 9 months ago, we still have some hope somewhere deep inside that this show will be the one to capture that Gainex magic. Giant Mecha is all you need to know about this show.
9. Sword Art Online: Alicization
Director: Manabu Ono (The Irregular at Magic High School)
Studio: A-1 Pictures
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll, Hulu and Funimation (Dub)
Trailer
I'll keep this brief you either already know you like SAO and will watch this; or you already know you despise SAO and you will either hate watch it or ignore its existence.
10. Radiant
Director: Seiji Kishi (Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Asobi Asobase)
Studio: Lerche
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll, Funimation (Dub)
Trailer
French created Shounen Action Adventure manga, Vive la France!
11. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Director: Yasuhito Kikuchi (Infinite Stratos and Macross Frontier)
Studio: 8-bit
Streaming Service (US): Crunchyroll, Funimation (Dub)
Trailer
Why is an Isekai on this list? Because of the staff on this project, which includes Ebata who animated the train sequence from Princess Principal. Also, it seems that this is one of the better Isekai Light Novels, how good is good compared to the garbage pile that is the genre is a bit harder to say.
Karakuri Circus
Director: Satoshi Nishimura (Ushio & Tora and Ushio & Tora S2)
Studio: Studio VLON
Streaming Service (US): Amazon Prime
Trailer
Once again Nishimura is bringing another Kazuhiro Fujita manga from the tankobon to the TV. Will the same issues of cut content like with the Ushio & Tora Adaption appear again is yet to be determined; but don't be surprised if it does happen again especially if they are attempting to do a full adaption of the manga with just these 36 episodes.
