Autumn 2025 anime I’m watching – hidden gems & big hits

Flaming hell, look at the season, we’re already heading towards the spooky month and my favourite season. Yup, wrapping up in cozy clothes and enjoying the chill weather.

Shows I’m watching

Just looking over at anichart, there are a few shows that did catch my eye, however: I’ll be keeping my list for this season small

• Campfire cooking in another world Season 2 – I won’t be watching this per say, more like capturing screen shots, as it will be my next anime episode review
• Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi (I’ve come to eat you) – I’ll give this horror series a shot. Looks interesting, plus it has a mermaid
• My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s – a light novel adaptation by Sunrise, will be interesting to see
• Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka – your typical high school rom-com LN adaptation, good looking chap with a harem of girls around him

Hidden gem to look out for:

• Towa no Yuugure – done by P.A Works, this does look interesting. If you like shows with robot / android female characters with romance, then this might be up your ally.

Leftovers:

• Clevatess (epi review)
• The water magician
• With you and the rain
• Can boy-girl friendship survive
• Reborn as vending machine S2
• Summer pockets
• Ruri rocks
• Secrets of the silent witch
• Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse

Well, those are the shows that I’ll be watching. Yeah, autumn is a lot smaller, haven’t been able to keep up with a few shows, plus got a whole bunch of leftovers to get through.

What shows will you be watching?

With you and the rain: The Iyashikei gem that feels like a warm cup of tea

https://i.imgur.com/OJPjv1l.mp4

If it looks like a dog and acts like a dog and insists it’s a dog, it’s…a dog? Probably? She adopted it anyway, and her life with this “dog” will never be boring!

Anime-Planet

I actually had with you and the rain on my radar; however, it pretty much got pushed aside, due to amount of shows I picked it up anyway. And honestly, glad I did. I’m really enjoying the slow paced, series. and I’m only 2 episodes in. It’s really enjoyable, just sitting back and not really think about what’s going on. The calmness it brings as well, that I feel is an understatement.

Fuji met the nameless dog, which uses sketchpad to communicate with people. And they bonded really quickly. I think with any Iyashikei anime, you’ll quickly notice that the companion is pretty much a tanuki, in world though, they pass it off as an odd-looking animal.

Did you see the angel like mask on the nameless dog? also, I love the art on the rain and flowers, it is gorgeous! not only that, but I also love how Fuji’s eyes are, striking blue. Catches my attention quite often. The soft gentle music played really helps with the mood. Sure, nothing of note happens, however just watching Fuji smile and seeing the nameless dog and their daily life is really calming, very charming too

Autumn first impressions

The Dawn of the Shinsengumi: Blue Miburo First Impression

The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor: First Impression

Fuji is an introverted, reserved novelist. Who came across the nameless dog. As said above, her eyes are striking to me. Besides being a novelist, she does say she isn’t a sweet person, which contradicts with her interactions with others. Other than that, not much is known about her.

Nameless dog. I love this dog, his ability to use a sketchpad to communicate with people is funny, yet charming. It’s hinted at (pretty much can guess) it’s an actual tanuki, as it has a leaf on its head. Charmed by its personality.

Would I continue watching?

Yeah, the series is a hidden gem, it has that soothing, calming, gentle, atmosphere that can be watched as a come down from all the other shows

The catcher in the ballpark Episode 12 review and final thoughts

Thoughts on Episode 12 of Catch me in the ballpark

Vignette 1: Transformative Game

It’s the aftermath of the playoff game. Even though Motorsuns didn’t get to make the playoffs, it’s their last game of the season. Aona has passed her teacher’s exam, whilst Ruriko is still bawling like a baby.

Aww, pretty sad to see Aona go, she’s such a cutie. I just laughed at how my fave girl Ruriko is just bawling each time. At the same time, though, it’s understandable for her to be emotionally attached to the vendor girls, which is surprising given that she had been working there for 4 months. Which is the more immature one? Sara or Ruriko. It pretty much ended on a sweet note, with the girls giving Aona her flowers. They did leave the relationship ambiguous with Murata and Ruriko, I felt. There is a hint of a new girl with pink hair, who has left me curious.

Vignette 2: Last Message

Coach decides that this will be his final season. Whilst this comes at a shock to most of the backroom staff and press. He goes through with it. Meanwhile the rest of the players are having an off-season day. Helping out with the club and just goofing around in general.

Just asked Copilot to do the maths on this. 288 wins and 418 losses give the coach a whooping 40%-win ratio. If your team had a 40%-win rate over five years, would you still be rooting for them… or applying for the manager job yourself? That tallies up to what Motorsuns have been throughout the entire series, perpetual underdogs under his 5-year reign. It’s inevitable, really, that not all managers/coaches last. Otherwise, they’ll have the Fergie / Wenger effect. A club is so used to having just one manager leading them for a long duration, in Manchester United case, failing to adapt no matter how much money you throw at the team. It was a really sweet and fitting end for his reign.

Vignette 3: It’s Opening Day, Okay?!

It’s the start of a new season. And with it come some changes. A new manager has made some changes to the team. A pink-haired vendor girl is being hired. Motorsuns have been playing away from home; however, this will be their first home game of the season.

A very fitting ending, how it started, ends on how it all began. I’m very interested in the new hire. Intriguing, right? That pink hair’s giving main-character energy… but let’s be real—Ruriko and Kohinata still own my vendor girl loyalty. Not much really happened in this final vignette. I am a little confused about Japan’s baseball, though. In opening games, any top teams play at home, whilst all the other teams play away. I did chuckle at how Ruriko got annoyed at being at the start. She did interrogate Murata (with some jealous mind you), however, his beer is his first one he got this season. Which is sweet.

Final thoughts and recommendation: 

I doubt there will be a 2nd season, if so, it will be very surprising to me. The biggest criticism that can be thrown at the catcher in the ballpark is that it constantly teases with Murata and Ruriko, we got a small hint in episode 9 that it might develop. Sadly, it reverted back. Which is fine for me anyway, since Ruriko and Kohinata are my two vendor girls. Pretty sad we won’t get to find out who the new girl is.

The catcher in the ballpark isn’t a sports show, per se. It uses it as a backdrop for what it is really the star, the characters, sure, there are some baseballs involved, just not as extensive as a specialised sports series is. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the catcher in the ballpark; it pleasantly surprised me. It’s not meant for a big binge, just watched in small pockets. I recommend it, as it doesn’t require thinking too hard.

I give this 8/10.

Thanks for stopping by, till the next post!

The catcher in the ballpark Episode 11 review

Thoughts on Episode 11 of Catch me in the ballpark

Vignette 1: The Clincher Part 1

Motorsuns and the entire fan base are on edge. This match will determine who will advance to the playoffs, as they are tied on points with their long-time rival Styxs. Just who will go through with this all-important match

I’m smiling on this, damn even I’m on edge seeing who will be going through, which player will make the play that clinches (pun intended) for the club. I love how all the characters from the previous episodes have come together. This is their moment!!! I do feel sorry for Megumi; she didn’t get picked to play the trumpet in band class. That is a bummer.

Vignette 2: The clincher part 2

Motorsuns have a narrow lead over the Styx. However, Mitsui begins to self-doubt himself as his pitches are not making the impact that he hoped it would. However, that isn’t the only problem Shishio has a problem and he isn’t telling the team.

Hell yeah, the match is intense! I feel sorry for Mitsui; the pressure is immense for him. I laughed at how much drinks Kisa bought, Ruriko had to remind her to slow down since she was on her fourth! This looks bad, Shishio might have gotten a foot injury, it certainly has impeded his ability to play. Just when he looked, he might catch, he narrowly missed it. I love Ruriko, she is a simple vendor girl, yet she is certainly the heart of the team. She is the sole person to encourage Mitsui which galvanised the fans in to cheering him on too, I do love how Kohinata had to try and calm her down. Two of my faves vendor girls. I’m hoping the team does it, with injury and from what’s happening, I don’t think it can happen though

Vignette 3: The clincher part 3

With a do or die moment coach subs out Mitsui and Shishio. With the latter injury being noticed. Motorsuns had players on bases, just needed to convert, sadly they couldn’t. It went down to the wire, Kojiro needed a run. Alas, their luck just wasn’t on their side. With a catch, Styx go through.

Dang, I’m gutted … even Ruriko was crestfallen when it looked hopeless. The pressure to the team, dang first time and all. Understandable, some teams just choke at that moment. I remember when Leeds United choked a few seasons ago. They were at the top of the English Championship at Christmas, then injuries came, followed by dropping in to the playoffs, only to lose that as well. Man, a valiant effort from them. I don’t read the manga, hope they reach it when the manga ends, just for a good feel

Overall Conclusion: 

Wow, what an episode. Sure, it was one whole arc, where Motorsuns were making a massive bid to win the playoffs. Heart break for them, and I felt for them. The emotions and the ride throughout the season, told me that Motorsuns are a team worth cheering for, even if they are fictional. I wrote it already, Ruriko is the heart of the club, she spurned Mitsui on, even when the fans initially turned on him. They then showed with whole heart that the team is worth supporting. I’m going to miss this series when the final episode review comes.

Thanks for stopping by, till the next post!
