Fall 2023 Anime Lineup

Overall, 2023 provides anime fans with a lot of great content, and the year should end on a high note. The Fall 2023 anime lineup is overflowing with potential for greatness; more importantly, now that most series have debuted, that potential is starting to be actualized. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, The Eminence In Shadow Season 2, The Apothecary Diaries, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, and Tearmoon Empire are just a few of the high-quality anime airing during this quarter, ensuring that viewers have weekly treats to look forward to until the end of December.

Nowadays, there is no one streaming service that carries every show. As such, people will need to do some research in order to decide which platforms to invest in. Unsurprisingly, Crunchyroll has the largest selection of Fall 2023 anime, but HIDIVE, Hulu, and Netflix should not be discounted either. To help streamline the process as much as possible, here is a breakdown of every anime's chosen streaming site.

Crunchyroll Fall 2023 Anime Lineup

Crunchyroll has revealed its full Fall 2023 anime lineup, and the selection maintains the platform's standard level of quantity and quality. Crunchyroll is the only streaming service that can satisfy both of those criteria, offering subscribers more than 40 simulcast series. Obviously, some shows will not attract much mainstream attention, but their availability on Crunchyroll will at least make them accessible to as wide of an audience as possible.

In terms of sequels, Spy x Family, Goblin Slayer, The Rising of the Shield Hero, The Ancient Magus' Bride, Dr. Stone: New World, The Faraway Paladin, Girlfriend, Girlfriend, Heaven Official's Blessing, Kizuna no Allele, The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, and Dead Mount Death Play are all airing cours on Crunchyroll. Most of these shows are fairly popular, and they are unlikely to lose much momentum during the Fall. Jujutsu Kaisen's second season will also continue to air new episodes.

When it comes to new properties, Crunchyroll has a couple of exciting picks. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Apothecary Diaries are both based on beloved source material, with the former being especially highly regarded. I'm in Love with the Villainess is shaping up to be one of 2023's funnier isekai anime, while Shangri-La Frontier is an addictive trip into an MMORPG.

HIDIVE Fall 2023 Anime Lineup

Even if it cannot match Crunchyroll's quantity, HIDIVE has been trying to deliver quality. The service's standout show for Fall 2023 is The Eminence in Shadow Season 2, which is likely one of the season's most popular releases. Ragna Crimson and The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess are also good, and Dark Gathering and Helck will continue to air new episodes.

Netflix & Hulu Fall 2023 Anime Lineup (& Other Platforms)

Hulu and Netflix might not be synonymous with currently airing anime, but they tend to have a few series per season. Fall 2023 is no exception, and both services have a few significant projects. For Hulu's anime, these are shows that also fall under Disney+, but they are typically available on the former platform. Netflix generally takes a different approach than other streaming services since entire cours are dropped at a time rather than at a weekly rate.

Although small, Hulu's selection for Fall 2023 is actually pretty good, with all four shows being worth watching. Despite coming off a poor season 2, The Rising of the Shield Hero has managed to rediscover its rhythm, producing a sequel that is far better than its immediate predecessor. While it has lost some luster compared to the original season, Spy x Family is still a fun and reliable series with three lovable leads. The anime's story could use some forward momentum, but it has some charm as an episodic lighthearted comedy. Tokyo Revengers seems to be nowhere near as popular in Western countries as it used to be, although the show still has its fans, and the Tenjiku Arc has been fine so far. Last but definitely not least, Undead Unluck offers silly, over-the-top nonsense in the best possible way.

Netflix's Fall 2023 shows are cut from a different cloth than the rest of the season's offerings since they follow the subscription service's binge-watch blueprint. As such, they are removed from weekly discussions and tend to be forgotten quicker than most of their contemporaries. That said, the Pluto adaptation will almost certainly go down as one of 2023's better anime, and the story was arguably complemented by Netflix's one-and-done drop strategy. Series like Onimusha and Akuma-kun are not quite as impressive, although they have their positives too.

Max has significantly stripped back its anime offerings, to the point of barely having anything of note anymore. However, FLCL fans interested in watching the new sequel, Shoegaze, will need to pick up a Max subscription since it is the only service showing the sci-fi anime.

Fall 2023 Anime With No Streaming Platforms (So Far)

Unfortunately, some Fall 2023 anime are without (Western) homes. Every season has a few shows that never announce streaming service, and while there are occasionally some surprises, most of these series would not really benefit from leaving Japan.

Kids' anime are prime examples of properties that do not leave their home country, and Fall 2023 has a couple of examples such as The Diary of Ochibi and Matsuinu. There are also a few more obscure anime like Bikkurimen that seem unlikely to air on any streaming service since they have already debuted.

Realistically, the only Fall 2023 anime without a platform that might garner some attention in Western nations is That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Coleus' Dream, a 3-part ONA side series based on the popular isekai anime. As the main show is on Crunchyroll, there is a chance that these episodes will eventually make their way to the service, although that has not proven to be the case so far.
