It's only a month and a week before the start of the last season of new anime shows this year, and I'm tellin' you... It's gonna be a blast. After going through all the new series which will premiere next month, I have listed down a staggering amount of titles -- 18 to be exact. That's almost twice the number of anime I had picked last season. Though of course, I think that's too much, so I trimmed down this list I made to just twelve. My target was ten, but I just can't let go of the other two (lol).
Take note that this list is in alphabetical order, and not the "best of" type of ranking. This is simply a record of interesting shows that you may want to watch when the Fall Anime season starts next month.
