Fall Anime Preview:

The fall anime season is insane.  2020 would be good without it -- Railgun, SAO, Major, etc.  But this one season is worth as much as the previous three combined.  Or more. . .

Known Good Series:

Danmachi S3
Higurashi 2020
Tonikaku Kawaii
Kamisama ni Natta hi
Hanyou no Yashahime
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko
Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken
Strike Witches Road to Berlin
One Pace
Healin' Good Precure
Major 2nd
Mewkledreamy
Dragon Ball Super Heroes
Love Live! Nijigasaki

Possibly Good Series:

Jujutsu Kaisen
Adachi to Shimamura
Majo no Tabitabi
Assault Lily: Bouquet
Ochikobore Fruit Tart
Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou
100-man no Inochi
Maou-jou no Oyasumi
Senyoku no Sigrdrifa
King's Raid
Maesetsu
Iwa Kakeru

Even if only a couple of the dubious shows work out that's 17 shows!  Almost twice as many as we have now.  Plus one of them is by Jun Maeda, which usually means God-tier.  I can't wait for fall.  So far there's been 0 great anime introduced this year, but in the fall there will at least be 2, there could be as many as four.  Covid-19 is pretty much leaving Japan alone so I doubt there will be any more delays.

I've rewatched Girls und Panzer das Finale and Fate/Heaven's Feel, or at least what's available of these series so far.  They were good, as expected of high ranking series.  I'll run out of rewatch targets if the fall season doesn't hurry up and add fresh blood to the top anime rankings lineup.  It would be nice to make good on my pledge to rewatch all great anime, but it's also nice to have plenty of material worth rewatching so I don't want to catch up too fast.
