Okay, October may only be just another month for me to write the Anime Deals: October 2024 Edition post.

But October also marks the beginning of a new anime season.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s hard to believe October is here.

Here I am, doing what I can to achieve my goals and catching up with all the anime I watched in the previous season.

So, forget about looking at the anime that will come out this fall.

I have yet to have a look at it as I write this.

But if my memory serves me right, the anime adaptation of the manga that I recommended on this blog is coming out this season.

And there are plenty of them too.

As you can expect, those anime will be on my must-watch list for sure.

And I will certainly talk about them on the blog too while we’re at it.

But for now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and have a look at what’s in store for you in this month’s Anime Deals: October 2024 Edition post.

Playasia

I’m sure many of you may already be familiar with Atlus’ new game, Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Well, what’s not to love about the game when the game has a nice blend of turn-based combat systems with real-time action?

And let’s not forget its unique soundtrack too where the soundtrack for this game has a combination of orchestral pieces with a monk chanting a sutra instead of a hymn.

Heck, even Yoko Taro is singing praises for this game.

That sure is saying something about the game, right?

Thinking about getting the game? Then you’d better hurry since the game will come out on October 11, which is only days after this post goes live.

And it’s even more so if you’re thinking about getting the one with the multi-language option since this version of the game tends to sell like a hotcake most of the time.

Want to get the game that comes with the multi-language option?

Good news for you since you can get it at Playasia which you can pre-order this version of the game right here:

Buy Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS4) game on Playasia

Just to let you know Playasia offers free shipping for orders above $100. So, get another game or two from them and you’ll be eligible for free shipping.

Will I be getting the game, you ask?

Well, you bet I will.

But I’ll be getting the game a little later, though, since I have a huge game backlog. So, I need to clear some of the backlog first before I get the game.

As always, I’ll let you know my thoughts about Metaphor once I get my hands on the game.

CDJapan

Yes, 2024 is far from over. But it doesn’t mean you can’t browse the calendar section on CDJapan for the 2025 calendar.

When I say 2025 calendars, I’m not talking about the generic calendar that comes with stock photo images with meh picture quality.

I’m talking about the 2025 calendars featuring your favorite anime, Japanese artists, and even idols printed on high-quality glossy papers.

And the good news is all these calendars are now available for pre-order at CDJapan.

If you’re thinking about sprucing up your space with the 2025 calendar of your favorite anime, you can pre-order the calendar right here:

Here’s a pop quiz for you – what is the best complement to your pumpkin spice latte now that the fall season is here and the weather has become so much cozier?

Well, it’s none other than having a good book with you, of course.

If you’re looking for a new light novel to read and you enjoy reading books in the thriller and suspense genre, then my books may have been your cup of tea.

Or a cup of pumpkin spice latte if we’re being seasonal here.
