Fall 2021 Coverage & First Episode Awards

Seasons change, but Star Crossed Anime stays the same… is what I’d like to say, but things are changing around here, too. SuperMario, one of our veteran contributors, has decided to take a step back from episodic posts beginning this fall. He’ll still be assisting with season previews and first impressions on a quarterly basis, though, and we’ll be glad for his continued presence on the site. The rest of us will be plugging away at a sneaky-good batch of fall anime, plus a new Throwback Thursday series after Lenlo’s coverage of Haibane Renmei wraps up in a couple weeks. The results of our First Episode Awards can be found after the jump, as well, so click through for our early read on the season’s offerings. Will any of our picks land in the Anime of the Year post this January? You’ll have to stick around to find out!
