heavenly_pearlI promised a review of the 2019 fall season, so here it is!
Chihayafuru - So, so happy that this series finally got a continuation! Still as good as ever, and I"m glad I rewatched the first two seasons over the summer, so things are still fresh in my mind.
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun - Is it weird to call a show about a school for demons wholesome? Because that's really the word that best sums up this surprising little show. I pretty much just picked it at random because I wanted to watch at least one Halloween-appropriate show this season, but I actually loved it, even if it was clearly made with younger viewers in mind. There's still enough to keep adults (and those young at heart) entertained.
My Hero Academia - Maybe not the best season of MHA so far, but even just an "okay" MHA season is still really good, and it is picking up steam after a bit of a slow start. I enjoyed the addition of All-Might's old sidekick to the cast and learning more about Kirishima.
Ahiru no Sora - I do really love the fact that a shonen protagonist is inspired by his mom instead of his dad for once, but some of that good will is squandered by the fact that all the boys in this show are such pervs... Really not necessary. Ah, well. If you ignore that, it is a pretty good sports series with some great jokes and fun characters.
And, actually, I just realized all four of those shows are carrying over to the winter season -- how in the world did I manage that? *laughs* That doesn't leave much room in my schedule for new shows, but based only on summaries, I might check out Smile Down The Runway, The Case Files of Jeweler Richard, and Science Fell In Love, So I Tried To Prove It, depending on who picks them up for streaming. Oh, and the new season of Haikyu! is a must see as well.
And my picks for the Top Ten Series of 2019 are.... *drumroll*

* Didn't watch the simulcast since it was on HiDive, but I got a free one month subscription with my Sentail Filmworks Black Friday order, which allowed me to finally see it. Absolutely loved it! Well worth a watch.
** Watching the dub on Toonami, so I'm a few episodes behind, but I've liked what I've seen so far enough to feel it deserves to be on the list.
