Fall 2023 has ushered in a multitude of captivating anime series to stream. Ranging from sequels of beloved shows to entirely fresh narratives, this season offers fans a blend of familiar favorites and exhilarating novel experiences. While preferences may vary, there are certain shows airing this fall that deserve the attention of every anime enthusiast.
1、Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2:
“Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” could technically be classified as a summer anime, but since it will continue to release episodes throughout the fall, it rightly earns its place on this list. Initially presenting as a typical battle Shonen, “Jujutsu Kaisen” delves into the clash between sorcerers and ghastly curses. However, the Shibuya Incident arc dramatically disrupts the series’ conventional narrative in the most enthralling manner. This fall, fans have the chance to witness what could be recorded as one of the finest Shonen story arcs in history as it unfolds. This solidifies “Jujutsu Kaisen” as essential viewing for any anime enthusiast. “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, with new episodes premiering every Thursday.
2、Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
“Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”offers a serene viewing experience, distinguishing itself from the high-energy tone of many other anime on this list. The narrative centers around Frieren, a nearly immortal elf, as she navigates her journey to establish connections with the humans in her world. While the show possesses an overarching plot, its episodic nature might deter certain fans. However, this structure provides the audience ample time to delve deeply into Frieren’s character, enriching their viewing experience and understanding of her adventures. “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is accessible for streaming on Crunchyroll, releasing new episodes every Friday.
3、Spy x Family Season 2:
The Forger family makes a triumphant return in season 2 of “Spy x Family,” delighting the devoted fanbase that has eagerly anticipated its arrival. Following a pseudo-family comprising a spy, an assassin, a telepath, and a clairvoyant dog, the series primarily adopts a slice-of-life comedy approach with a sprinkle of espionage intrigue. This unique blend infuses a wholesome charm into the storyline, particularly when featuring the young daughter, Anya. While it may not consistently offer action-packed sequences like some other anime, “Spy x Family” remains a worthwhile watch, offering a relaxing comfort anime experience. “Spy x Family” is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, unveiling new episodes every Saturday.
4、Undead Unluck:
“Undead Unluck” currently stands as one of Shonen Jump’s most underrated manga, featuring a remarkably unique power system that sets the stage for compelling and imaginative battles. If the upcoming anime adaptation by David Production stays true to the essence of the manga, this will become essential viewing for Shonen enthusiasts seeking something fresh within the genre. While the initial episodes may echo the somewhat challenging start of the manga, giving “Undead Unluck” a chance will reveal its potential to evolve into a truly extraordinary narrative. “Undead Unluck” is available for streaming on Hulu, with new episodes released every Saturday.
5、The Eminence in Shadow Season 2:
This fall marks the return of the hit isekai series, “The Eminence in Shadow,” for its highly anticipated second season. The storyline follows Cid, a high schooler reincarnated in another world, assuming the role of a major manipulator operating from the shadows. The unique twist lies in his belief that he is merely fabricating everything, unaware of its actual reality. A must-watch for isekai enthusiasts, especially if it maintains the exceptional standard set by its first season. “The Eminence in Shadow” can be streamed on HIDIVE, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday.
6、The Apothecary Diaries
stands out from many other entries on this list as it is neither a sequel nor an action-packed series. Instead, it delves into a dramatic portrayal of historical events in China, depicting the life of a young girl working as a pharmacist in the imperial court. While this storyline may not appeal to everyone, the trailer for the series showcases its stunning visuals, complemented by a soundtrack composed by Kevin Penkin, renowned for his work on “Made in Abyss.” Although this show may not be the most highly anticipated on this list, it is poised to be a beautiful hidden gem that anime aficionados should not miss. “The Apothecary Diaries” will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll starting October 22.
