Summer is officially behind us. And while it was fun to bask in the sun and enjoy plenty of time outdoors, Fall’s undeniable charm is already calling to us, bringing changing leaves, sweater weather, and the unmistakable smell of pumpkin spice. But the leaves aren’t the only thing changing this season, as Crunchyroll is also bringing a full lineup of new anime series for fans to enjoy. From the highly anticipated return of beloved historical drama The Apothecary Diaries and the blood-pumping soccer action of Aoashi to exciting new titles like The Vermillion Mask and Hello, I Am a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion!, the Fall season promises to offer something for every kind of viewer. Whether you’re looking for romance, action, fantasy, drama, or something completely unexpected, there’s plenty to add to your watchlist. Below, we break down every new anime series coming to Crunchyroll this Fall. ‘FX Fighter Kurumi-chan’ Image via Crunchyroll Release Date: October 1 Cast: Aina Suzuki, Miho Okasaki, Ayasa Itou, Asami Seto. Proving there really is an anime series for everyone, animation studio Passione is bringing Demunyan’s manga series to life on the screen with a story that combines finance, friendship, and high-stakes drama. When middle school student Fukuga Kurumi’s mother takes her own life after losing 20 million yen through FX trading, Kurumi makes a promise to recover the money her mother lost. Years later, now a university student, she finally makes her long-awaited debut in the world of FX trading, determined to make good on that promise. However, she quickly discovers that the financial world is far more complicated than she anticipated. Cute and chaotic, the series will introduce viewers to the basics of FX trading through dramatic market fluctuations, with charts constantly shooting up and plunging down as the stakes continue to rise. With its unusual premise and colorful cast of characters, the series puts a playful spin on the world of foreign exchange while keeping the tension high as Kurumi navigates the unpredictable market. ‘The Apothecary Diaries’ Season 3 Image via Crunchyroll Release Date: October 2 Cast: Aoi Yuuki, Takeo Otsuka, Katsuyuki Konishi.

While the rebellion may be over, peace and quiet rarely last in Li, and Maomao is about to discover that trouble has a way of finding her every time. After resuming her life as a pharmacist in the pleasure district, Maomao finds herself drawn into another mystery when a strange breakfast raises questions she can’t ignore. Her sharp instincts and endless curiosity once again put her at the center of a mystery that reaches far beyond the walls of the palace. Meanwhile, Jinshi is finally stepping into his responsibilities as the Imperial Brother, though a troubling warning continues to haunt him. As rumors begin spreading about an immortal maiden appearing amid the threat of an approaching famine, what starts as just another tale that gets passed around begins to morph into a threat for every citizen of Li. ‘Black Clover’ Season 2 Image via YUKI TABATA/SHUEISHA,TV TOKYO,BLACK CLOVER PROJECT Release Date: October 3 Cast: Gakuto Kajiwara, Kana Yuuki, Nobunaga Shimazaki. Asta and Yuno were abandoned at the same church on the same day and grew up together, eventually learning about the legendary title of Wizard King, given to the strongest mage in the Clover Kingdom. From that moment on, they made a promise to compete against each other for the chance to claim the title. As they grew older, however, the differences between them became impossible to ignore. Yuno develops incredible magical abilities and remarkable control, while Asta is unable to use magic at all. Rather than give up, Asta dedicates himself to intense physical training in hopes of finding another way to achieve his dream. At 15, Yuno receives a powerful four-leaf clover Grimoire, while Asta is left empty-handed. But after Yuno is nearly killed during a confrontation, Asta awakens his power and receives a mysterious five-leaf clover Grimoire known as a “Black Clover.” Soon after, the two friends leave their home behind to pursue the same goal of becoming the next Wizard King. It’s been a long time since we first met Asta and Yuno back in Fall 2017. In Season 2, tyranny spreads across the Clover Kingdom as Asta and the Magic Knights launch a dangerous raid on the Spade Kingdom to rescue their squad captains from the Dark Triad.

But her carefully planned future is thrown into chaos when she is kidnapped by Shinpei Goto, a ruthless assassin feared for his deadly reputation. Rather than accept that her life is in his hands, Satoko proposes they get married, and then they can both get exactly what they want. Shinpei agrees to the arrangement, but obviously, what begins as a marriage of convenience quickly becomes something far more complicated. As his feelings for Satoko deepen, his devotion begins to take on a dangerous intensity, leaving Satoko caught between the obligations she has spent her life preparing to fulfill and a love she never expected to find. Enemies-to-lovers stories are always popular, and Firefly Wedding promises to offer a great one. ‘Ace of the Diamond’ Act II -Second Season- Cour 2 Image via Crunchyroll Release Date: October 11 Cast: Takahiro Sakurai, Ryouta Oosaka, Natsuki Hanae, Nobunaga Shimazaki.
