With there being so many anime shorts each season we felt it necessary and deserving of its own preview, so here you can find all of the anime shorts following the same format as the main anime preview again, with links to any simulcasts that are available for said series. We’ve also decided to add a new section for OVA and ONA’s that Crunchyroll, or other services, are streaming along with this season.

For a short I was surprised at the quality of animation shown in the PV that alone makes it tempting to pick up. The premise also sounds rather interesting and being one of the longer shorts out there, episode lasting around 10 minutes, hopefully you could see some decent story developments. – Nick
