Four Seasons: Autumn

The cooler weather brings natural beauty but also portends a time of scarcity for the animals on one mountainside. But a unique hot spring where the usual rules of eat-or-be-eaten are paused becomes a place to hash out survival strategies. Follow a bear preparing for hibernation and a deer with whom she shares a special bond in this short, heartwarming story.

While we consider this slightly more challenging than the previous two seasonal installments in this series, it should feel like a very gentle increase in difficulty. (Ongoing, 14 episodes)
