Goodbye, September! Hello, October!
The Netflix anime given to us in September 2024 was nothing short of everything we could've asked for in the last month of summer. We cried until we were sick with the release of the film Grave of the Fireflies, while we were hanging on to the edge of our seats with all the action that was in store with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM. And, of course, we were left feeling very inspired as we watched Blue Giant, the anime that shows that anything is possible so long as you put your mind to it.
Although it hurts saying goodbye to September 2024's Netflix anime, the anime coming in October 2024 is set to be the perfect replacement for the anime that we're saying goodbye to. We guarantee that you will be left feeling well-entertained for the entire month!
