The fall anime season is already starting, and just before it comes in full force when October starts we’ll get you up to speed on what to expect. 48 new shows are coming this season, that’s a lot of shows and a lot of information, so to make it easier for you, dear reader, we’ve simplified how each show is previewed.

A one line description of each show should get the bullshit out of the lengthy studio descriptions and a ‘you might like it if you like’ section makes it easier to make your picks. To top it all, we’re protecting you from information overload and doing this in batches (no its not because I’m lazy). The first 8 shows previewed after the jump!
