Thus, it’s gonna be a historical moment as the beginning of the end for one of the most popular anime of the decade is finally coming closer to its climax and heading down to a conclusive denouement.

A-1 Pictures’ Sword Art Online III: Alicization

Therefore, to add some fire of excitement to our fellow anime fans, especially to the followers of these 4 big anime titles of fall 2018 lineup, we have here the respective promotional videos and trailers to stir up each and everyone’s blood and craving.

First in our list is the psychological action-suspense anime Tokyo Ghoul:re which is coming back this fall for its second season. Chronologically, this will be the 4th season in the entire Tokyo Ghoul franchise. The first season of Tokyo Ghoul:re premiered few months ago as part of the spring anime lineup this year. It ended in a very nostalgic and action-packed episode filled with dark and wild emotions, memories that could startled one’s believe in their own self and a promising cliffhanging finale that will make the fans crave for its continuation so bad.

The 3rd season of Sword Art Online franchise will also make our fall anime lineup this year an exciting and fascinating one. One of the most overpowered character this decade together with his friends and love interest, Asuna will once again wreak havoc in the virtual world against guys who are up to no good at all.

After 7 years, this hit anime that brought us the fusion of magic and science in one scope is back. Also called as Index III, it’s the 3rd season of A Certain Magical Index series although, the franchise had several spin-off in these past few years that somehow alleviate the fans craving for the series. However, with the main title returning, one can expect for a heavy dosage of comedy, reverberating actions between mages, espers, scientist, and other entities specializing in the arts of magic.

Also considered as the 3rd season of Fairy Tail main series, this final season in the franchise mark the historical denouement of the story against the strongest opponent in Fairy Tail’s universe which are the Dark Wizard Zeref, and the Dragon King Acnologia in an imminent 3-way battle between the three opposing forces with the entire mage alliance of Ishgar taking the defensive stand against the insurmountable invading forces.

Aside from these 4 anime series, there are some other titles that may sound familiar from the fall 2018 anime lineup. This includes the anime adaptation of the popular dark fantasy light novel Goblin Slayer, the 2nd season of Golden Kamuy which previously debuted as part of the spring 2018 anime lineup. The ongoing Attack on Titan season 3 will also continue to air next season with the second half of its story. This season’s top anime Banana Fish will also have its 2nd cour airing this fall. Meanwhile, a rather familiar title may reverberates to everyone’s heart this time as FLCL Alternative is coming next season too.

Studio Gonzo is also back this year with a new anime based on a popular game “Conception: Ore no Kodomo o Undekure!” while Kyoto Animation is giving us a delightful gift with its new sports anime “Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudoubu“. On the other hand, an original anime shall be presented onto us P.A. Works this time titled “Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara” which I personally believe to be a dark horse next season due to its rather cliche but interesting plot.

Aside from those titles, there are dozens of pretty decent anime series coming over as part of the fall 2018 anime lineup. So, which anime are you guys excited to see and what are your opinions about the upcoming anime season as we’re getting closer to bid farewell to the ongoing summer 2018 anime lineup?
