After we finish discussing the summer season we move on to the fall and discuss the hot upcoming anime that we are looking forward to. Plenty of sequels such as Goblin Slayer, SpyxFamily, and Attack on Titan. There is also plenty of new things to watch with Frieren, UndeadxUnluck, and Overtake. Plenty of other shows are out there to enjoy in the Fall, lets enjoy the season.

The manga this week is "Tis' Time for Torture Princess" a comedy manga that is not quite what it seems based on the title. The manga for next time is UndeadxUnluck. What will be better the anime or the manga, we'll find out.

We start off with the cheery slice of life anime that can teach you how to do new things in your own life with Do It Yourself

Then we discuss the rare "Isekai Ozzy Actually Likes" in Reincarnated as a sword.

We then discuss nostalagia and rule of cool in Bleach and Mob Psycho Season 3.

We then discuss how much cocaine the creators were on when they made Akiba Maid War

Blue Lock and Gundam: The Witch from Mercury round us out on our final reviews before we hit our favorites of the season.

Chainsawman delivered all the hype and was everything we could have hoped for. We discuss how the anime was a breath of fresh air and what made the anime unique despite its jokey and ridiculous characters.

Finally we discuss Bocchi The Rock which may be our favorite anime of the entire year as it caught us off guard by hitting so many high notes in story telling and art that it could not be ignored.

Finally we discuss our manga The New Dragon Transfer Student Stands Out More Than Me a story about a kid who wants to be well known and make many friends, but is always accidentally outshone by a shy transfer student who happens to be half dragon. A cute comedy story.

Next time will be our year end wrap up, so no manga as we expect to spend a bunch of time discussing all the things that happened this year. Tune in then, and have a good week.
