2022 Fall Premiere Digest
A bustling season with some good josei food and great heroines!
A bustling season with some good josei food and great heroines!
Philosphy and questions about the human soul abound in a bland premiere that has a lot of promise, but just doesn’t hit the mark despite having a fascinating foundation.
Vrai, Chiaki, and Peter finally put one of the top contenders for most disappointing season we’ve covered to rest.
Elephant in the room aside, this is a pretty funny premiere.
Your Mileage May Vary when it comes to this new version of Urusei Yatsura, a series that brings the 70s into the 2020s, flaws included.
As well as being a bad, dumb comedy, however, it’s a bad, dumb comedy with a disgusting concept at the heart of its “humor”.
Hey kids, do you like Devilman?
More Than a Married couple seems intent on being as dumb as its premise, refusing to use its school-mandated-fake-dating scenario for any interesting commentary or even any interesting character scenes.
Its flavor isn’t gross, it just tastes like nothing.
There’s some interesting stuff going on with masculinity in BLUELOCK.
Your mileage may vary with this one, and whether Hitori feels overly twee or relatable will depend. But I say give it a shot: I found her unexpectedly funny and relatable.
A nostalgia-fueled adaptation of a 1999 JRPG that still has room to invite newcomers in on an adventure.
Thrills, chills, and cafe meals: Akiba’s Maid War brings sugar-sweet plots to a whole ‘nother level by mashing up murder and maids into one of Fall 2022’s strongest premieres.
I really wanted to like this one, but it’s off to a disappointing start.
Nice comedy isekai you got there. Shame if it turned into yet another edgelord fantasy.
This anime made me think about the big questions.
