The 10 Most Promising Anime Airing this Fall, 'Drifters' to 'Ajin'

The fall season of anime series starts in October. This year, there are a range of shows to hold you down until the long-awaited return of some of the more well-known anime like Boku no Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Seven Deadly Sins. Seven Deadly Sins is set to air a four-episode special starting on August 28; however, the official release date for the second season of the show has yet to be announced. Attack on Titan is reported to finally be released in Spring 2017. Since Boku no Hero just ended, we can expect some time before the official release date of the second season is announced.

Because there is so much anime to watch, it can be difficult deciding which show you should focus on. Not every anime is filled with large fight sequences and epic battles. There is something for every type of fan – including comedy, drama, and mystery. Here are just 10 of the most promising anime that you should be watching this fall.

1. Drifters

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy

If you are into violence and uncensored, bloody anime, then this is the right show for you.

Ajin has a great story line, but the animation leaves a lot to be admired. You either hate the animation or you love it. But, once you get past that little detail, it is an interesting story.

3. Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo “Shounen Tanteidan” yori
