Genre:<\/strong> Crime, Cyberpunk<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Studio Pierrot<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> October 8, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> A civil war tore Japan in two as the Osaka region in the west fought the Tokyo region in the east. At the end of the war, Tokyo stood triumphant and Osaka was turned into a conquered state. This created the perfect environment for crime and corruption. Akudama Drive<\/em> is the story of seven criminals fighting to pull off jobs and heists to survive in a retro-cyberpunk take on Japan.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> This one is 100% a \u201cpedigree pick.\u201d This anime is penned by Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of Danganronpa: Tigger Happy Havoc<\/em> (along with all its spinoffs and sequels). Likewise, its character designs come from Danganronpa<\/em>\u2019s Rui Komatzusaki\u2014meaning the only thing that could make it more Danganronpa<\/em> is a name change.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Danganronpa, Zero Escape<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Funimation<\/a>, AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> High Fantasy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> J.C.Staff<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> October 3, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> Life has finally returned to normal for Bell and his companions. After being forced into a War Game and then dealing with the troubles surrounding the Goddess Ishtar\u2019s Familia, the crew are finally ready to head back into the dungeon. However, all too soon Bell and friends find themselves back in the spotlight when he discovers a monster girl who not only doesn\u2019t seem to be evil but is also capable of human speech.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> This is an excellent setup for a new, high-tension adventure. A monster being able to speak changes everything. The moment they can, they become \u201cpeople\u201d\u2014especially in the eyes of someone like Bell. Of course, the other adventurers are not likely to accept this. They have a vested interest in her being \u201cjust another monster.\u201d After all, their literal job is to kill any and all monsters they come across.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?<\/em>, Konosuba, Sword Art Online<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Crunchyroll<\/a>, HIDIVE<\/a>, Aniplus<\/a> (Asia), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Modern Fantasy, Star-Crossed Romance<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Silver Link.<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> October 7, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> For 100 years, war has raged between two countries: one of magic and one of technology. For now, the countries are at a stalemate but the balance could be upset at any time as a new generation of soldiers head to the battlefield. On one side is Aliceliese, the Ice Witch of Calamity. On the other is Iska, a young man with two swords made specifically for killing magic users. However, what they don\u2019t know is that they actually share quite a lot in common.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> While this is an anime set during a war, that\u2019s not really the focus. Sure, there are tons of exciting fights but what it\u2019s really about is the \u201cstar-crossed lovers\u201d situation our heroes find themselves in. When it comes to their likes, dislikes, and passions, the two are on the exact same wavelength. On the battlefield, they are unmatched\u2014except against each other. Moreover, when it comes to their thoughts on the war\u2014i.e., that it is meaningless and needs to end\u2014they are of one mind. However, neither is willing to betray their own side and must fight on regardless.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t stop them from encountering each other everywhere they go, however.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Romeo and Juliet<\/em>, Sword Art Online<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Funimation<\/a>, AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ), Aniplus<\/a> (Asia), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Modern Fantasy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> 8bit<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> October 4, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> In the world of the future, magic and technology have become almost one in the same. Those who can use magic are prized as national treasures\u2014because they are basically walking WMDs. Thus magic users are enrolled in special high schools where they are taught to refine their gifts before moving onto the army or high positions in society. Because of all the top-secret information involved, things like foreign exchange programs are all but unthinkable. Yet despite this, Japan\u2019s premier magical high school is about to get an American exchange student, Angelina Kudou Shields.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> A few years back, we got the film The Irregular at Magic High School The Movie – The Girl Who Summons The Stars<\/em>. Set after the end of our heroes’ first year of school, this film followed them stumbling upon an unethical military program with the potential to end the world. One of the main characters in that film is the aforementioned exchange student \u201cLina.\u201d Of course, this is quite confusing to anyone who hasn\u2019t read the books because the film assumes we know who Lina is and why the other characters trust her\u2014despite her being part of an enemy army. With this season of the anime, we\u2019ll finally get our proper introduction to Lina and see why she is so special.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> The Irregular at Magic High School<\/em>, The Misfit of Demon King Academy, Chivalry of a Failed Knight<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Funimation<\/a>, AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ), Aniplus<\/a> (Asia), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Cute Girls Flying Planes<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> A-1 Pictures<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> October 3, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> When an otherworldly enemy invaded the planet, threatening to destroy all life, a literal god named Odin appeared. He gave humanity young women known as \u201cWalk\u00fcres\u201d along with the means to fight the invaders\u2014i.e., airplanes based on World War II fighters. Now, years later, Europe\u2019s ace pilot has come to Japan to help with the fight.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> Now, I know what you\u2019re thinking. Why on Earth would you be interested in this, Richard? I mean, we\u2019ve have cute girls on tanks, cute girls on ships, and cute girls as<\/em> ships… thrice. We\u2019ve even had cute girls flying classic planes before\u2014not to mention the entire franchise of pants-less cute girls becoming half-planes.<\/p>\n The reason, however, is simple. This is another pedigree pick. This is an original anime written by Tappei Nagatsuki\u2014i.e., the creator of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-<\/em>. That alone is enough to get me watching.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-<\/em>, Strike Witches, The Magnificent Kotobuki<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Funimation<\/a>, AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/p>\n Top image source: \u9b54\u6cd5\u79d1\u9ad8\u6821\u306e\u52a3\u7b49\u751f \u516c\u5f0f<\/a> on Twitter.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
