Welcome to another installment of the monthly anime roundup, where we give you a detailed list of everything coming out! Fall has finally arrived, bringing some hot new anime releases to enjoy on chilly nights inside.
Remember that due to the Funimation/Crunchyroll merger, there is no new anime debuting on Funimation. Funimation will continue to add episodes of current shows, but the new series will air exclusively on Crunchyroll. We will miss Funimation, but as we look to the future, we have everything here you should watch.
