Top 5 Most Anticipated Fall 2013 Anime

#5 - Hajime no Ippo: Rising

Hajime no Ippo: Rising is the third season of the critically acclaimed action/sports anime by Madhouse Studios. While considering the amazing action and story of Hajime no Ippo and Hijime no Ippo: New Challenger, there is no question that Hajime no Ippo: Rising will be a truly spectacular anime for the Fall 2013 season. I'm not a huge fan of straight fighting anime such as this, but the Hajime no Ippo series has been an anime that truly got me hooked. It's been four years since Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger aired making Rising a welcomed addition to the Fall 2013 lineup. This is one anime that I absolutely can't wait for, and luckily, it will be airing in October 2013.

#4 - Ace of Diamond (Diamond no Ace)

Ace of Diamond is a baseball anime produced by Production I.G. and Madhouse Studios. The anime just like the manga follows Eijun Sawamura, a pitcher who joins an elite school with a brilliant catcher named Kazuya Miyuki. Together with the rest of the team, they strive for Japan's storied Koushien championships through their hard work and determination. If the manga is any indication, the anime adaption should be just as spectacular in terms of story and character development. With intense games and that never say die attitude, Ace of Diamond really drives it home to any hardcore anime fans. Ace of Diamond has the potential to be one of the best Fall 2013 anime, and will be one that every anime fan should check out at least once, especially since its October 6th air date is just around the corner.

#3 - Litte Busters! Refrain

Little Busters! Refrain is the sequel to Little Busters! which aired from October 6, 2012 to April 6, 2013. It's being produced by J.C. Staff and Warner Bros., and will cover the remainder of the the story that takes place in the visual novel. I really enjoyed the first season of Little Busters! though it did seem a bit slow to really get going. Little Busters! Refrain will a bit of a more serious approach due to the seriousness and somewhat darkness of the way the visual novel ends. If the ending of the first season was any indication, then Little Busters! Refrain will definitely be one of the top anime for the Fall 2013 season. I'll look for it to be one of the many anime the every anime fan is talking about later this year.

#2 - Magi: The Kingdom of Magic

Magi: The Kingdom of Magic will pick up right where Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic left off, and will begin airing in October 2013. This is by far my number two most anticipated anime not only for the Fall 2013 season, but for the entire year. I'm an avid fan of the manga, and I really did enjoy the anime adaption despite the many differences. The Kingdom of Magic should be just as good considering it is under production by Aniplex and A-1 Pictures. While I hate Aniplex for their overpriced anime, I do have to give them credit for the quality of anime that they produce. The addition of A-1 Pictures is just a bonus. Since The Kingdom of Magic will be picking up where The Labyrinth of Magic left off, I would guess that it's safe to say that this season will be full of much more action and a far deeper story than the first season. There's already millions upon millions of anime fans hyping this anime, and there's plenty of reason to do so considering it will be continuing the anime adaption of one of the most popular manga today.

#1 - Kuroko no Basket S2

Kuroko no Basket S2 will pick up right where S1 left off, and based on the manga, it looks to be the best anime of 2013. During S1, those who only watched the anime were introduced to three of the five members of the Generation of Miracles. Since S2 will be picking up from the end of S1, the remaining two members of the Generation of Miracles will most likely be introduced during the Winter Cup. It's more than safe to say that Kuroko no Basket S2 is the most anticipated anime not only for the Fall 2013 season, but for the year as well. Kuroko no Basket S2 has the best chance at being the anime of the year despite other amazing anime such as Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). There was plenty of action wrapped around great character development and an amazing story is S1, but based on the manga, there is no doubt that S2 will be on a completely different level. This is my single most anticipated anime as well as one I'm looking forward to reviewing the most, and I absolutely cannot wait for it to begin airing in October 2013.

 the refrain part was the best part of the visual novel imo, it gave me the KEY-feels

Well LB 1st season felt like introducing all the characters. Every char had his own arc, so I expect the real shit to happen in Refrain. I heard it's a lot darker.

OK I'm watch the first season then. But only if I manage to catch up before the next anime season starts. Right now I'm still behind on all my anime and I don't know when I will catch up.
