Fall is now upon us and that means new anime for this coming fall 2017 season. Along with many continuations of awesome series like My Hero Academia and the second season of Hozuki no Reitatsu, there are many new titles to enjoy in this upcoming autumn.

Here is five animes, out of the many highly anticipated titles, coming fall 2017 that I recommended to check out.

The Ancient Magus' Bride Simulcasting: Crunchyroll, Funimation

Chise Hatori has been through darker and more bitter times than most fifteen-year olds. Left alone young and able to see things that others could not, she has been passed around by relative to relative, until Chise decides to sell herself into slavery so that she does not have to worry about anything anymore. As a slave she is bought by Elias Ainsworth, a non-human sorcerer from Britain, who takes her in as his apprentice and… his future bride? Will Elias be able to save Chise from her own darkness of despair, or will he throw her even further into the abysmal depths? This sweet, yet dramatic tale is waiting for those who want to feel their hearts plucked at with the gentle beauty of a fantastic story.

Black Clover

Simulcasting: Crunchyroll, Funimation

Both abandoned at the same church, on the same day, orphans Asta and Yuno could not be any more different. In a world filled with magic, Yuno is a true prodigy with his magical prowess, while Asta displays no latent talent for magic in any way. This doesn't stop these foster like brothers from having a good rivalry in their shared goal of becoming the strongest Magic Knight in the Clover Kingdom: Wizard King. When the two turns fifteen they receive grimoires, magic books that allow one to channel their magic, and where Yuno receives a legendary four-leaf clover grimoire which acknowledges superior magical poweress, Asta is chosen by a dirty tattered grimoire that grants him the ability to use Anti-Magic, the abilitiy to negate the spells of others. Watch to enjoy an action-packed and fantasy filled tale of Asta and Yuno in their adventurous rivalry to become the Wizard King.

Kino's Journey — the Beautiful World — the Animated Series

Simulcasting: Crunchyroll, Funimation

After reading the title, some might be feeling nostalgia for an older anime series also known known as Kino's Journey, well they are one and the same, but perhaps different. The newest adaption of Keiichi Sigsawa's highly acclaimed light novel series once again follows the travels of the young girl, Kino, and her talking motorcycle, Hermes. On their journey, the two will discover many things about the world and themselves, pain, sadness, joy, wisdom, happiness and beauty. They see the imperfections of the world, but realize it is these imperfections that make the world so beautiful. A tale of self-discovery and the truths of the world, Kino's Journey — the Beautiful World may bring out the nostalgia in some fans, but it will create a new beautiful adventure for Kino and Hermes for many more viewers to get to know.

JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR

Every 12 years the 12th Twelve Tournament is held. A deadly battle, where twelve people bearing the names of the zodiac fight to the death in a tournament of madness. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig, all these unique and terrifying men and women come together to slaughter the others for the ultimate goal — the granting of one wish. It is a survival game, whoever will become the victor and have their one true desire granted? Anime adapted by the hit novel of the same title by author, NISIOISIN, the horrific and thrilling in nature JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR looks like it will leave many waiting on the edge of their seats in anticipation for the action-packed battles to come.
