This season is kinda of a mix bag. One thing, I am waiting to see To Love Ru Darkness and Code Breaker that I am reading the manga is pretty good. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is interesting as I watch the third arc on the OVA years ago. So watching how it all begins will be a good idea to understand the Joestar family and Dio's hatred. The rest of the shows will be as usual "watch the first three episodes" and decide.

So what is your picks this Autumn? See you next month for all the new shows!
