There is a lot of great new anime airing right now! We talk through our favourites of the current season, Fall 2024. While Dandadan steals the spotlight, we've found a mature favourite in Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, while Ranma ½ delivers one of the best remakes we've seen in a long time. The much anticipated Uzumaki and Blue Lock series have both seen some disappointing quality drops in their seconds episodes too. What have you been watching this season?
