Let’s talk about the LN adaptations for the upcoming Fall anime season. What’s good? What’s bad? What are you looking forward to?
Campfire Cooking - The series is originally a LN, but I have read the manga adaptation past where this season will cover. The series basically continues along the same lines as the first season. The gang goes around chasing good food and meet some interesting characters along the way. I am looking forward to more of this one.
Isekai Quartet - This one might be a stretch, but the constituent series are pretty much all LNs originally. This season adds the characters of The Eminence in Shadow to the show. TEIS already did a crossover short with Overlord as a promotion for the mobile game, but this is taking it to the next level. Meanwhile, we continue to have no announcement about a possible LN7 for TEIS and the manga has moved into manga-original story since it caught up to the LNs. Please give us LN7 soon!
Here’s what’s listed with an LN source and my highly qualified thoughts about it:
- My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me! - I’ve seen the LN, but haven’t read it. I don’t think it’s for me but I’ll give the anime a episode to convince me.
- Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill - as wsj018’s pointed out it’s more of the season 1 shenanigans.
- May I Ask for One Final Thing? - untranslated. I think I’ve read the setup a million times by now. Let’s see where this goes after the dime-a-dozen setup.
- Let This Grieving Soul Retire Cour 2 - unread but cour one fell flat for my taste.
- Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle - Hated the premise early on and dropped it hard. It seemed like the moral of the story was that MC was worthless but the heroine would come and “fix” him.
- Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits Season 2 - I think it’s untranslated, but I liked the first season of the anime.
- Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?! - untranslated to my knowledge. It sounds very formulaic but MC looks genki.
- A Wild Last Boss Appeared! - the LN was entertaining for the first couple of volumes but then dropped hard later on until I didn’t want to pick up another volume. The anime adaptation should be well within the “good” parts, so I’m looking forward to it.
- My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha - dropped it 1 or 2 chapters in because the setup was more moronic than I could stomach at the time.
- Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator - untranslated but sounds cute
- The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest - untranslated. I’m growing increasingly tired of the “banished from the party” trope. Honestly, I’m at a point where just reading it makes me want to skip the show.
- A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai - untranslated. Sounds like a thousand others, but could be entertaining. I’ll give it a try.
- Potion, Wagami wo Tasukeru - untranslated and not to be confused with “I shall survive using Potions” even if the synopsis reads the same.
ps: by “untranslated” I mean that it hasn’t been officially picked up by an English publisher. There might be a fan translation that I’m unaware of.
