Genre:<\/strong> Sci-fi, War, Social Commentary<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> A-1 Pictures<\/p>\n Release date:<\/strong> October 3, 2021<\/p>\n Non-spoiler plot summary:<\/strong> After being forced to send her squad off to be ethnically cleansed via a suicide mission into enemy territory, Lena has become a different person. No longer caring about status or rank, she does everything she can to keep those under her command alive\u2014even knowing the brass will soon send them off to die as well. Worse yet, she alone knows that the war of attrition they are fighting is anything but\u2014and that one day an attack will come that they can\u2019t hope to stand against.<\/p>\n Why you should watch it:<\/strong> While the first season was largely about racism and ethnic cleansing, the second focuses more on the child soldier aspect of our heroes. It asks who they are without war and why they are still fighting. It also goes deep into the idea of survivors\u2019 guilt\u2014and the utter exhaustion that comes from always being the last one alive.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like: <\/strong>Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, Aldnoah.Zero, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans<\/em><\/p>\n Where You Can Watch It:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Crunchyroll<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Transported to Another World Fantasy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Children’s Playground Entertainment<\/p>\n Release date:<\/strong> October 9, 2021<\/p>\n Non-spoiler plot summary:<\/strong> After his death in our world, Will finds himself reincarnated as a baby in a fantasy one. However, in lieu of a mother and father, he is raised by a trio of undead\u2014a mummy, a ghost, and a skeleton\u2014in the ruins of a city completely devoid of human life. Who the three are, what their mission is, and why they are raising a human child are all mysteries to Will but one thing is for certain: He loves them and they love him in return.<\/p>\n Why you should watch it:<\/strong> On one hand, The Faraway Paladin<\/em> is a tale of mystery. At first, it is centered around the relationship between Will and his undead family\u2014along with their current goal and circumstances. Even when all that is resolved, the world itself serves as a mystery as Will has no idea what is awaiting him nor of his own place in it.<\/p>\n On the other hand, this anime is a tale of choosing your own family\u2014about how even those not related to us by blood can heal our hearts and souls. In the end, the anime is the total package: it\u2019s got action, adventure, and the kind of heart that is so rarely released in similar fantasy anime.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like: <\/strong>Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime, The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat<\/em><\/p>\n Where You Can Watch It:<\/strong>\u00a0Crunchyroll<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Crime Comedy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> TMS Entertainment<\/p>\n Release date:<\/strong> October 17, 2021<\/p>\n Non-spoiler plot summary:<\/strong> Sherlock Holmes is not the man he used to be. While once he was solving mysteries and choosing cases whenever they piqued his interest, he now finds himself doing only the most lucrative\u2014and boring\u2014of cases. However, he finds all this worth it as it gives him the money and time he needs to care for Lily, the daughter of his deceased best friend. However, all this changes the day Lily encounters the man who killed her father: the world-renowned thief known as Lupin III.<\/p>\n Why you should watch it:<\/strong> There are two kinds of episodes in Lupin the 3rd<\/sup> Part 6<\/em>. The first are serialized adventures that revolve around Lily, Sherlock, and Lupin\u2014exploring the murder of John Watson and how it ties into a much greater conspiracy. The second are stand-alone episodes that are penned by famous Japanese mystery writers\u2014including Ghost in the Shell<\/em> and Beautiful Dreamer<\/em> director Mamoru Oshii.<\/p>\n While the serialized story is full of mystery and action, the one-offs tend to have much more freedom. One is time travel story. Another is a 20-minute conversation and homage to Ernest Hemingway\u2019s The Killers<\/em>. Yet, another is a surreal take on time and religion. All in all, both sides of the anime are fantastic and make for a great addition to the 50-year long franchise.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like: <\/strong>Lupin III, Ghost in the Shell<\/em><\/p>\n Where You Can Watch It:<\/strong>\u00a0HIDIVE<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Fantasy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Wit Studio<\/p>\n Release date:<\/strong> October 15, 2021<\/p>\n Non-spoiler plot summary:<\/strong> Bojji is the prince of a prosperous country\u2014the son of the strongest King in all the lands. However, Bojji is nothing like his literal giant of a father. He is small, weak, and unable to hear or speak. Yeah, despite it all, Bojji has a kind heart and an unbreakable spirit. Even as those around him discount him in favor of his younger brother, Bojji continues to strive to follow in his father\u2019s footsteps and become the greatest King in the world.<\/p>\n Why you should watch it:<\/strong> You might think that Ranking of Kings<\/em> is aimed at children based on its animation style alone\u2014yet, this is part of the moral that the anime is trying to teach you: don\u2019t judge things by appearances. Of course, the most obvious way of teaching this is Bojji himself\u2014by showing just how much he has to offer the world. However, this is just the start of it. There are no \u201cbad guys\u201d in Ranking of Kings<\/em>, despite all the blood, death, and betrayals. Every character is multifaceted and is doing what they truly think is right. Each is somehow broken and is just trying to live life in the best possible way. This is a story where empathy is the true hero\u2014putting yourself in the shoes of others and others in your own.<\/p>\n Just one word of warning before you watch this one: you\u2019ll likely be a sobbing mess throughout.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like: <\/strong>Made in Abyss, Mob Psycho 100, To Your Eternity<\/em><\/p>\n Where You Can Watch It:<\/strong>\u00a0Funimation<\/a>,\u00a0Wakanim<\/a>\u00a0(EU)<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Transported to Another World Fantasy<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> SILVER LINK., Studio Palette<\/p>\n Release date:<\/strong> October 6, 2021<\/p>\n Non-spoiler plot summary:<\/strong> After Earth\u2019s greatest assassin is murdered by his own organization, he stands before a goddess who is willing to grant him a second chance at life on a fantasy world\u2014but only if he agrees to kill the overpowered hero who lives there.<\/p>\n Why you should watch it:<\/strong> The thing that sets this anime apart from so many other isekai anime is its focus on the characters. While obsessively about a man training to kill the strongest existence in the entire world, it\u2019s more about his growth as a person. In his first life he was more of a tool than anything else\u2014a weapon sent to kill whomever his bosses told him to. This is the story of him regaining his autonomy and deciding for himself who lives and who dies\u2014and who he chooses to protect. Better still, the assassin is not the only character to get tons of development\u2014all three of his female companions do as well. In the end, this isn\u2019t a plot-driven narrative, it\u2019s a character driven one. And this is what makes it such a good watch.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like: <\/strong>Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime, The Faraway Paladin <\/em><\/p>\n Where You Can Watch It:<\/strong>\u00a0Crunchyroll<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FCsz7peVcAA4Ns4.jpg?w=700&ssl=1\")
