Now that the final October premiere has aired (a subpar beginning to Blue Miburo), we’ve reached the end of our First Impressions period. Our plans for the next couple months are looking light: Lenlo will continue his Horus Heresy book club series and publish some mini anime reviews as they’re completed, Amun plans to periodically write up his thoughts on DanMachi season 5, and I’ll be finishing my delayed Dead Dead Demon episode reviews. Between the three of us, we ought to compile a few check-in posts, as well, since there are some decent seasonal shows airing this autumn. We don’t all agree on which ones are the best, but we did vote for our now-traditional First Episode Awards, so hit the jump to see what we’re most (or least) anticipating as a collective. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy fall!

Whoo boy did Uzumaki earn its Kyoukai No Kanata Award… Goddamn.
The Natsume award goes to Thunderbolt Fantasy when there’s a Natsume continuation airing??
Inconceivable! 🙂
THAT’S WHAT I SAID!!!! The other writers didn’t agree, sadly. I’m more just happy there’s a new Natsume!
