Well we're in the sixth week of our Fall series. And having just turned the clocks back and finished a grueling election we look ahead to a new year with winter's cold and dark embrace. And what better way to enter the harshest months of the year than with some anime? The Lists:

So, what looks good all? Here's what I'm planning on watching along with brief thoughts:
NEW:
1.) BanG Dream! - I'm really liking the character designs for this. That said, it's a music series so I'm hoping for a mixture of some slice of life elements.
2.) elDLIVE - Not really sure what to expect here, but it's a Shonen Jump Plus series so hopefully something good and actiony.
3.) Gabriel DropOut - The premise sounds fun and art looks good. Should be a fun time.
4.) Granblue Fantasy The Animation - I'm unfamiliar with the source game, but hoping for a good fantasy/action-esque series.
5.) Idol Jihen - I tend to lump this together with BanG Dream! in my mind so similar expectations. I don't watch too many idol shows, but it could be fun.
6.) Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - I'm current with the manga and I love it. Character designs are a bit different, and I worry some of the ecchi may be toned down, but this should be good.
7.) KONOSUBA, Season 2 - Season 1 was surprisingly excellent and I hope/look forward eagerly for more.
8.) Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club - Expecting a more polished Long Riders! from this season. Hopefully without the production delays.
9.) Piace: Watashi no Italian - A restaurant themed slice of life? What's not to like?
10.) Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Season 2 - I made a discussion thread on the ASMB for Season 1 as it aired, I intend to for this season 2. Assuming no one else does. Season 1 was top notch stuff. This will likely vie with KONOSUBA for best series of the season.
11.) Urara Meirochou - Standard cgdct slice of life expected here.
ON-GOING:
1.) 3-gatsu no Lion - A very good series so far, both artistically and emotionally. Very glad it's sticking around a bit longer.
2.) Dragon Ball Super - Classic, nuff said.
3.) One Piece - It's One Piece, it'll never end!
4.) Twin Star Exorcists - This anime-only arc has been really lackluster, but I'll see this final cour through to the end...probably.
15 series total, down just a bit from the fall. There are some other shows on my radar, but I'll check those out sporadically, if at all.
