Fall 2019 – First Impressions, Part One

Preview week barrels onward, but with only a couple new premieres today, I figured it was past time to take stock of the season so far. The first wave of show releases actually hasn’t been so bad on the whole, though given the highlights include two isekai-riffing comedies, I’m guessing this group probably won’t be impacting my own watch schedule. Still, if you’re looking for comedy, sports drama, or slice of life, we’ve had a few respectable contenders so far – and if you’re looking for garbage, well, there’s been a fair bit of that too. You can check out the full list of reviews right here, or scroll below for my own rankings and links to individual reviews. Let’s get to it!
