Death Note

1 Video about the anime series Death Note

• Director: Tetsurō Araki
  Country: Japan
  Airtime: 4/10/2006 – 27/1/2007
  Genre: supernatural, psychological, shounen
  Status: complete
  Since the Death Note anime has been on the air for a few years, its plot will naturally unfold through the different seasons. However, the anime's autumn atmosphere is by far the most notable due to its muted color palette and the fact that many of its outdoor scenes introduce viewers to barren trees or characters dressed in cozy autumn coats.

  While Death Note has a reputation for having more twists and turns than viewers can keep up with, the fall elements make this classic anime even better. Some notable fall elements in Death Note include Ryuk's undeniable love for signature autumn fruits, accompanied by jackets worn by characters like Misa.

• Director: Makoto Shinkai
  Country: Japan
  Airtime: 27/5/2016 – 27/1/2017
  Genre: romance, drama, supernatural
  Status: complete
  Kimi no Na wa is an anime that offers a fascinating change of body swapping when Taki and Mitsuha, two strangers with completely different circumstances, wake up in each other's bodies for seemingly no good reason. In addition to reliving the thrilling episode that happened later in the anime, many viewers return to watch Kimi no Na wa every autumn to feel the autumn spirit that the drama conveys.

  This is mainly because Kimi no Na wa takes place during the autumn festival in the town of Itomori, Japan. The anime also contains thoughtful, nuanced elements such as its fully realized cast of characters and its emotional ending. These aspects encourage viewers to curl up in a cozy "cocoon" to enjoy the film.

  Yakusoku no Neverland is an anime set in the Grace Field orphanage and follows three of its brightest and oldest inhabitants as they learn about the horrors of the world they live in. While these kids are all dressed in white and frequently appear in lush green plains in the first season that resembles spring, in the second season, the anime shifts to take on a more pronounced autumn feel.

Since season 2 of Yakusoku no Neverland, viewers will be watching these children after they escape from the Grace Field orphanage, most of the time taking place in a cozy jungle setting. This combined with the capes and shawls they wear throughout the anime's second season, all make Yakusoku no Neverland a more worthwhile viewing experience.

Chihayafuru

Opening of Chihayafuru anime

• Director: Morio Asaka
  Country: Japan
  Airtime: 5/10/2011 – 28/3/2012 (season 1)
  Genre: drama, casual, sports
  Status: complete
  Chihayafuru is a reality sports anime series that follows Chihaya Ayase, who tries to become Japan's best karuta player in hopes of reuniting with her childhood friend, Arata Wataya. Despite taking place over several seasons, the anime's fall aesthetic is by far the most different.

  This is mainly due to the presence of maple leaves during the broadcast of Chihayafuru. In fact, if the episode titles mention maple leaves or autumn, they all speak to the key meaning of expressing a distinct autumn aesthetic for this anime.

Howl no Ugoku Shiro

Trailer anime Howl no Ugoku Shiro

• Director: Hayao Miyazaki
  Country: Japan
  Airtime: 11/20/2004
  Genre: adventure, drama, romance, fantasy
  Status: complete
  Many anime from Studio Ghibli are still timeless classics that can be enjoyed at any time of the year, but a few anime possess seasonal elements that make them even more worth watching in the season they once shown. A perfect example of this is Howl no Ugoku Shiro itself, which contains a completely different autumn atmosphere.

  This is most evident near the beginning of the film when Sophie is timid in front of the chilly autumn air and warmed by Calcifer, a literally "roaring" fire. Another undeniable autumnal element in Howl no Ugoku Shiro is the presence of Turnip-Head, a precisely designed scarecrow character that enhances the autumn feel of this anime.
