The fall season is at its halfway point, with most shows on episode 6 to 8 this week. No big finales yet, so it’s a good week to catch up on the shows everyone’s talking about. Here’s what I’d put first.
Days below are when each episode airs in Japan. Streaming services usually post them the same day, but times vary by region, so check Airing Today for your local time.
The big three
The Apothecary Diaries Season 3, episode 7 (Friday). Maomao is back in the pleasure district after the Shi Clan rebellion, and something about a breakfast at the Verdigris House doesn’t sit right with her. Meanwhile Jinshi is dealing with Loulan’s warning of a coming “disaster.” It’s one of the highest-rated shows of the season on AniList, at 85%. Crunchyroll, Netflix.
Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, 2nd–3rd Stage, episode 8 (Friday). Johnny and Gyro are crossing the desert stretch known as the “Devil’s Palm,” and the race is turning into something much bigger than a race. If you’ve waited years for Part 7, this is the one. Netflix.
Black Clover Season 2, episode 7 (Saturday). Asta and the Magic Knights are raiding the Spade Kingdom to get their captains back from the Dark Triad. After years away, it’s sitting at 88% on AniList, the top score of anything airing this week. Crunchyroll.
For romance fans
Blue Box Season 2, episode 6 (Sunday). Taiki and Chinatsu’s feelings keep shifting while an old, broken friendship and the road to nationals get in the way. Still the best sports-romance on TV. Netflix.
The Ramparts of Ice Season 2, episode 7 (Thursday). Koyuki and Minato are starting to feel more than friendship, and Youta has finally confessed to Miki. A gentle ensemble drama that’s easy to love. Netflix.
Firefly Wedding, episode 6 (Friday). New this season. A sickly noble’s daughter is targeted by an assassin, so she proposes to him. An odd, dramatic premise that works. Crunchyroll.
For action and sports fans
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, episode 6 (Sunday). Beerus, the God of Destruction, wakes up, hears about the Saiyan who beat Frieza, and comes looking for Goku. Netflix, Crunchyroll.
Aoashi Season 2, episode 7 (Sunday). Ashito has made the A team, and the U-18 Premier League is brutal. One of the most tactical soccer anime out there. Crunchyroll.
