October featured the return of Yukihira Soma with "Food Wars: The Third Plate." This month, Shoyo HInata of "Haikyu!" will lead the charge for November 2017 anime release.

From a boy who finally decides to live a normal life away from delusions of living in a world where he has special powers, to another boy who discovers high school means meeting girls he has no idea how to talk to. Headlining the November release is a sports anime with a young boy who has a short stature but big ambitions.

"Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions!" is a story of a boy named Yuta Togashi. In his world, Japanese students have a mental state called "chunibyo." This state of mind convinces students that they have special powers. Yuta decided to move away from this world. However, a girl he likes still has chunibyo. The conflict begins when Yuta goes back to his chunibyo state or goes on to really live a normal life.

Takaki is finally in high school and finally realizes what growing up means in "To Heart 2." Another realization coming to his way is that he finally sees Konomi as a young girl like the rest of his new female classmates. This romantic slice of life anime begins airing on Nov. 7 on Crunchyroll.

Although Shoyo Hinata does not actually fall under the best athlete category, his ambitions are bigger than his life. His dream is to become the next biggest name in high school volleyball. The only problem is that his team recently lost a match. "Haikyu!" season 1 starts airing on Nov. 11.

Other anime in the list is "Mezzo Forte" which features mob boss Momokichi Momoi. "The Squid Girl" will start its airing in Crunchyroll on Nov. 28. This lighter anime features an awakened force of nature to punish mankind for polluting the oceans of the earth.
