(Note: This article contains Fall 2012's anime series only. Stay tuned for the next "seasoned" article listing the new OVA/OADs, specials and movies for this season.) There is a lot of different anime to choose from this season... I, personally, am very excited for the third season of Bakuman. While I only follow the manga, as a fan of the franchise I must love all of its properties. As for non-sequels, new series I'm very interested in K. While the synopsis shows little promise, the visuals are quite fetching. Two other series on my "Must Check Out" list are My Little Monster and Blast of Tempest. Two series that, luckily for me, are being simulcasted on Crunchyroll. Now, take a look at the list below to find what you'll be watching this season.
