Comment on Fall Anime Season Preview Discussion and Thread Requests [2026, Week 39]

Alright, going over the list for next season, here are my takes:
Definitely try to watch:
- The World’s Strongest Witch - This manga is a riot, and I can’t wait for anime-onlies to be introduced to Rona and her antics.
- Apothecary Diaries Season 3 - Absolute must-watch for me.
- Appraisal Isekai Season 3 - This is kind of like a comfort watch. I like the source, and the adaptation is fine. Despite the politics/war setting, I don’t find this one too dramatic/tense.
Watch if time allows
- Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 - The first season was a roller coaster of a story, but suffered with poor production values. I am interested in seeing more, but it isn’t high on my priority list.
- Suikoden - I have a good friend that has been trying to get me to play Suikoden 2 for years. I might just try to watch the anime version instead to troll him.
- Magical Girl Raising Project - I have heard great things from source readers. Think Shiboyugi, but with a magical girl bent.
- Magic Knight Rayearth - An oldie of an isekai. My wife is a big fan of the manga and has tried to get me to read her copies for almost 20 years now. She has pretty good taste, so I expect the story to be pretty decent.
- Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 - I am pretty sure I am past this point in reading the manga adaptation, but this one is still a lot of fun.
Other notes
- Romelia War Chronicle - I read the very beginning of the manga for this series and enjoyed it. It is kind of a cross between kicked out of the hero’s party and a gritty war story. It’s a new studio making a debut, so who knows how it will turn out.
- A Wild Last Boss Appeared Season 2 - I binged the manga for this series a couple weeks ago and it was way better than I thought it was going to be. I haven’t watched the first season yet, but might try to get caught up on this one.
- Reborn as a Space Mercenary - I really wish there were more sci-fi isekai out there. It seems like a natural genre mix between the mecha and isekai worlds. I don’t expect much from this, but just wanted to say that I want more of this mix.
