AKIBA' S TRIP: THE ANIMATION: Overall good animation and interesting action scenes. The backgrounds tho were more impressive than the characters, they look more like something you'd see in someone's hentai comic. Most of the plot for the first episode felt like it was at a stand-still and never really got anywhere, but someone who's played the game could probably disagree with that.

Masamune-kun no Revenge: Silver Link's return to a more drama focused series, but sadly the source material isn't that great. I don't remember how the manga went, but it did feel different for better or worse. Regardless, the show's humor didn't really catch on with me, and since I know the manga's plot, nothing about the plot really interest me. However, the show has some fairly detailed backgrounds with Silver Link's typical coloring scheme, and while I said nothing good about it, it didn't bore me to tears. I'll just keep on watching for now (and hope Ogura Yui gets a larger role in the anime version)

Akiba's Trip The Animation - Overall is above-decent I think. The Art is quite funky and matches the surrounding I think. But I can't really see if the Story is good or not in the first Episode, but for now It's above decent cuz' I kinda like every aspect of it but nothing greater for now.


Masamune-kun no Revenge - At first I thought It might me "Oh... Another RomCom Anime?" (Haven't read the manga yet). But after seeing the first Episode of It, It's actually pretty good. The Art is great and most the Characters have this diverse personalities (imo).

Also Totsuka Saika 2.0, I mean like really? Cute boy/Trap is a thing now?... But nonetheless the First Episode is great.


Fate/Grand Order -First Order-- It's actually a great adaption of A Mobile Game. So It's the prequel of the Original Mobile game or some sort (or Fate/Apocrypha)? I don't really play it but I kinda read it a bit and wanted to play it if I have a good Phone... And Lay-duce did a great job here, The Animation is great (still a little bit off than the one by Ufotable, but They did a good job) and plenty of cameos from other Fate series made it fun to watch (Chulainn as Caster really? I don't really expect that lol). It's great overall.

Koro-sensei Quest!, it would be honestly better if they just made a story about Nagisa and others smh.

Masamune-kun no Revenge: I want to really like this, but this feels like it's going to be a show without much meat. It seems like it wants to throw in a bunch of characters from the beginning to get you interested, and then it's going to be super slow through the rest of the series. Main bitch, the loli, and the sister, are the only characters that really catch any interest in me (I already think main dude is a piece of shit), and none of the classmates have any personality to them, maybe they will later, but throwing so many into one episode and trying to make them relevant didn't work too well.
DakeDekaane
Masamune-kun no Revenge: Generic characters and interactions. It isn't really appealing, but not boring or terrible, probably I'll keep watching as a filler.

Koro-sensei Q!: Oh boy, I'm a hard fan of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, but this a bit over the board on randomness. Good thing it's a short.

Fuuka: I would probably watch this whenever I'm bored or anything. I like love triangles lel

Akiba Strip - osu needs more Emilia/Rie Takahashi. The ripping off clothes part is fun too but the rest is still not that clear.

Masamune-kun's Revenge - Heard the manga is popular. Anime is pretty interesting and fun to watch.

Seiren - Feels more serious than the other shows this season. Characters are pretty interesting.

Fuuka - Beginning scene was generic but the characters and progression afterwards are quite nice. Enjoyable to watch.

Schoolgirl Strikers - Shame that an entire main cast of famous seiyuus is wasted on this.

Urara Meirochou - Best one so far. Main character is incredibly cute and doesn't skimp on the lewd stuff too.
Rio-
Seiren - Pretty much if you enjoyed Amagami SS, I guess You'll enjoy this one too imo. Characters are pretty interesting and I like the Art design (obviously It was made by the same creator with Amagami SS too which with Art I liked). But so far that's It in the first episode, kind of looking to the later Episode but I don't really feel like It's that great so far...

Fuuka - First Episode kind of looks like a Generic Highschool Ecchi Anime (I was thinking to drop it, I mean like "Nudist Sisters" really?). But afterwards the characters development do pretty well and I guess It would be a good start for this season imo. And also I have a feeling it will be a good music-themed series later so why not?
(Also I've been spoiled by some guy about later parts, so I really have to watch it until the end lel... Haven't read the manga)

I'm really behind on shows for silly reasons, so going to be updating this post a fair bit:

Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel: Since plot is pretty low on my concerns, I actually found this sort of enjoyable with the amazing seiyuu cast, some light humor, and passable action scenes (action scenes have gotten a lot better this season strangely). Admittedly, the detail of the art is sometimes lacking and the CG darkening is really annoying, but I want to see how far it goes.

Youjo Senki: It felt pretty weird to not start of the middle of the LN, but I guess it is nothing new. Yuuki Aoi is again being a magical girl with a bit of dark humor, great animations, and great backgrounds. How the plot will be told, I don't fully know, but everything else seems solid for now

Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen: Well, not sure why I'm trying to watch the sequal of a series I dropped both in manga in anime form, but here we are. For a shonen action series, this episode is pretty much devoid of action scenes besides a old lackluster flashback. On top of that, there is just a bunch of your typical melodrama that I find pretty boring. At least the animations of daily life and their surroundings are nice, but that is not going to get me to watch the show.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai: A solid adaptation of the light-hearted series. Animations were fine. They captured the jokes correctly. There is really not much to say. However, the art was a bit jarring in the fact that the characters have low detail (like in the manga) and the more detailed backgrounds, creating some weird meshing at times.

Seiren: It's Amagami all over again. Nothing too amazing, but the cast was quite fun and pretty sure I'll stay for the ride. (As long as none of the routes are incredibly boring)

Spiritpact: Like last season, some of the Chinese series are starting to be animated, and well this is the next in line. Sadly this sent very mixed messages, it has some awful animation, laggy frames, and basic art. Nothing to be impressed by there. Plot is incredibly simple and nothing special. The only saving grace of the show are the humorous responses by the MC every so often, but I would probably try to find the source material and read that instead of watching this.

Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari: (For those that have watched the movie, this is just a replay of the 1st quarter of the movie with an op and ending thrown in. From what I can gather, the animation quality on the movie version is slightly better, so watch that version unless for some reason you want to watch the TV version) The next mobile game adaptation, except adapted into a 3 part movie that is further split up into a 12 episode anime series. From watching the movie, I'll say the plot is sort of confusing and probably requires you to play the game, but the action sequences are top notch and worth skimming the show for.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen: Rakugo has never been that entertaining for me. Hearing about the beauty of storytelling is definitely not something I would want to watch.
Rio-
Urara Meirochou - A Good Light series for this season I guess. Characters are cute (well, They're loli technically) and the comedy might be on par with Anime like Yuru Yuri imo (but with a little spice of Japanese Old Tradition).

Demi-chan wa Kataritai - Ever wanted to know how Demi-Human live a Highschool life? You might interested in this. The Animation are good and the Characters are interesting (especially for the Demi-Humans side).
Haruto
Masamune-kun no Revenge : super good, cute main characters and cool storyline, the graphic looks a bit familiar to... hmm, maybe... musaigen no phantom, yea. a bit same but kyoani still is the best best (y). looking forward to this anime btw. episode 1 intro is gya.

Havent watched that trickster anime or whatever its name is but seems like its a cool anime, might watch it later lol.

Youjo Senki: Is this suppose to be magical girls? I love war time settings, but what tops this one off is the character design (since they don't all suffer from same face syndrome). Hoping this one doesn't let down with the plot later on, because it seems good for now.

Fuuka: I almost don't want to say that I like it because of how overdone the opening scene is, but I want to see more development of the two mains. Altho I am wondering how long before this turns into a music anime, since desciptions and previews make it seem like it will be, but not sure if that's just something promotional (since I haven't read the manga).

Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-Bu: The backgrounds and bikes are really nice, and the only enjoyment I get so far is based off of that. Poorly animated characters, even the close ups look really bad, what particularly gets me is how sloppy their eyes look. I feel like this wants to be a feel good show, but I don't think it's going to accomplish that for me since I can't look past the characters.

Seiren: Amagami is that you?
blissfulyoshi
Idol Jihen: I really need to stop trying to make sense of this show. A completely nonsensical idol/politics show about the typical happy idol growth (nothing about the dark side of the industry or something like that). Beyond that, the show is mostly okay with passable animations and an attempt to show dancing with fairly decent CG. I probably will drop it, but will be willing to give it another shot.

Nyanko Days: A not funny short about someone with no friends and some cats. No real attempts for humor were made and made me question why I was even looking at the show. If you art of cat ppl, sure watch, but otherwise I don't see much point.

ēlDLIVE: The latest series by the author of Hitman Reborn, and well its aged drawing style really shows. Everything from the art style to plot to action scenes feel like it came from the 90s or early 2000s. Top it off with another loser mc, and you get a show that I don't want to watch.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai: One of the first cute series in a while where the jokes are actually...good. Staying for the good jokes and cute girls.
minibethangel
SUPER LOVERS 2 : When I was so much in love with this and others don't like it lol... The manga is great too, really recommend reading it once in awhile XD
blissfulyoshi
Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu: For a moe show, you sort of need moe humor... Watching someone fail normally isn't usually considered cute. I think I laughed like once during this show. It was pretty bad in that regard. The CG on this is fairly clean and solid except for a few weird backgrounds (and not sure about some of the riding scenes). Oh well, nothing really here to make me come back.

Fuuka: Going in, I already disliked the manga, but watching the annoying mc acting like a person without a backbone when he obviously was capable of more than that, was extremely painful and sort of nonsensical. Luckily there were a few bits of humor and decent animation, but I don't think I want to revisit the show. (Not to mention that the anime format slows down the melodrama into an even more painful version that it already is)

Edit: Not sure why, but I read all of Fuuka. It was definitely not as bad as I remembered it, but being able to read a chapter every 2 minutes, allowed to skip past a lot of melodrama that I see in the anime.
YTYuyu
Seiren: As a Amagami SS fan, it's no surprise that this got me into it. as long as there's no rushing in the character routes, then i'm sticking around.

Urara Meirochou: I like it so far due to the traditional pace. i also like the jokes shown in the episode which gave me a giggle in the inside, but at the same time it didn't click for me yet. i'm gonna give this a few more episodes before i drop it.
Rio-
Idol Jihen - Idol with Politics might be the worst idea ever imo, and it's kind of a disappointment to me (I love Idol Anime ever since the original iM@S and Love Live! happens but this is not my thing i guess). The Art is beautiful at least but in every other aspect like characters and story, they are just scattering around imo. Typical Start of a Local Idol make it big, The Dark side of Idol World (sort of), 9 Girls in the Cover... Boy, I can guess It's (probably) ripped-off from other Popular Idol Anime with addition of Politics to make it looks Original. I'll probably drop it, but I might give it a chance with 3 Episode rule...

Little Witch Academia - Trigger strikes again... Been waiting for this series ever since It was announced and the hype is real. And ofc It's not disappointing at all after seeing the first Episode. Characters are interesting and the MCs are lovable. About the story, I can't really say I can see how the story will going so far but It's interesting to know how it'll end. Art is vibrant and funky, reminds you of Gurren Lagann. And Overall is great....

Urara Meirochou: I almost turned it off about 2 minutes in, but I don't regret watching it at all since the jokes were decent, and the girls are cute. Going to keep watching this one for now.

Little Witch Academia: Really glad this didn't disappoint, I'm excited to see where the story of the tv series goes. Style of the characters and backgrounds still hold up to the OVAs.

Tales of Zesteria the X 2: Keeps going with the 1st part, so liked.
xPandah
Ao no Exorcist 2: i watched to show years ago, can't remember how it was, but i think it will develop into a very interesting story (with all the god/satan-stuff lol)

Masamune-kun no Revenge : because RomCom :)

Fuuka : Read the manga. If my guess is right, they will turn about 50 chapters into their 12/13 episodes. But dayum, the story is so ridiculous ..~ will watch the last episode maybe to see.. [cliffhanger] 8-)
xxdeathx
Demi-chan something - I prefer this angle over what Monmusu did. Was surprisingly fun and flowed well.

Gabriel Dropout - Doga Kobo doing what they do best. Feels just like Umaru again but with even more fun characters!
Rio-
Gintama. (2017) - I've been thinking to not put it in the list BC It's the continuation of the last series, but whatever. As usual, never once Gintama disappointed me. With the Late-Night slot instead of the usual afternoon slot and Team Yorozuya Gin-chan ended up as the Akiba Branch, The first episode looks even cooler than the previous series and the BGM/Musics used here kind of giving me shivers to listen to (The OP is top notch and the ED is great too). Been looking forward for this ever since It's announced, what a nice year.

Gabriel DropOut - Doga Kobo is the one who adapt Himouto! right? They did a good job for this series, even I thought that Gabriel (in this Anime, not one of the Archangels) is another Umaru. The Characters are quite interesting too.

Gabriel DropOut: It's a more likable and less annoying Umaru, so I'll keep watching since the characters and jokes are actually enjoyable.
blissfulyoshi
T_T so many new series and so little dedication from me. Going to do these really quick.

Chiruran: Nibun no Ichi: Short whose humor didn't work for me

Hand Shakers: Do you want to see bad CG with unsynced animations? Do you like the overuse of wide angle lenses? Do you want to combine all of these things with fanservice? Well this is the show for you then. It was painful to watch by 30s, and I decided to drop by 4min.

Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation: I never liked how they overdramatized the smallest of things. It makes everything that happens in the sport seem really trivial and unimportant.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maidragon: Nothing amazing so far, but it was fun to watch. Seems like a decent enough story of the "demon trying to fit into society" (well, dragon in this case), but it's very obviously suppose to be silly. I don't think Tohru will become as reformed as some may want to expect by the end, but what she is taught seems to stick with her through the time progression in the series like how she learns to wash clothes, but still wants to clean them with her saliva, but it's not like she forgot the next day how to wash clothes.Most of the jokes were at least decent, and a few stuck pretty well.
xxdeathx
KonoSuba 2nd season - incredible as always. wednesdays are gonna be awesome.

Kobayashi-san's Maid Dragon - I see KyoAni, I watch. Looks to be a decent slice of life. The jealous lesbian character gets kind of annoying (KyoAni can do so much better than yuri shit, it's like they forgot about Chuunibyou) though the maid dragon thing is a first.
blissfulyoshi
Little Witch Academia: Not exactly sure how I feel about the tradeoff of killing loads of detail to be able to use more complicated animations more often. It came out pretty ugly looking usually to me. Beyond that, I don't understand the appeal of the show, after the intro, we just get flat out bullying for minutes on end with nothing about the bullying to break up the excessive boredom it causes. On top of that, it's jokes just aren't funny. Well like every other season of the show I watched, dropped.
Navizel
Little Witch Academia - hell yeah. still as great as usual. probably the only one i'll watch on a regular basis.

Seiren - still unsure about this. sometimes it feels like their facial expression doesn't match their voice. on the other hand, it's like amagami meaning surely it won't be another romcom bullshit that's going to end with just being friends so that's a plus.

Gabriel Dropout - unsure about this as well. I did laugh at some of the jokes and there's a sadistic Hanazawa Kana but it's umaru 2.0. Idk I'm probably too old for this, man. can't enjoy neet shows unless it's nhk or something similar. neet protagonists just annoys the hell out of me. shame she was good in heaven.

Schoolgirl Strikers - the story could've been a lot lot lot better. it has two of my favorite seiyuu ffs. nothing really outstanding. everything is average aside from the cast i guess.

One Room: One of the shows where you're suppsoed to pretend you're the mc and interacting with the character, which isn't really my cup of tea. While it is a short, characters and backgrounds are decently detailed at the cost of every scene being a pan, but that is sort of expected

Demi-chan wa Kataritai

Honestly enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to, should be pretty good I hope.

Fuuka

I can't say I didn't like it, it honestly does feel rather rushed but it still fits into the type of anime I tend to enjoy and I did enjoy the first couple episodes, hoping it picks up more when it gets into the music side of things.

Hand Shakers

Not a huge fan of this but I didn't dislike it either, it could easily grow on me as time goes on, the whole Hand Shaker concept thing seems a bit meh but it looks like it's going to get better with a couple things that happened.

Konosuba Season 2

Loving it, can't say much else tbh

Kuzu No Honkai

Ok, this was *way* better than I was expecting, I seriously loved this first episode, it's so damn deep and I love it, I'm really hoping for good things out of this, got pretty high expectations for this now - hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Masamune-kun no Revenge

I'm not as into this as much as the others but I still enjoyed it, it has it's funny moments and the whole revenge plot-line is kind of a stupid reason to get "revenge" if you ask me but it still seems to be getting used well.

Seiren

I really don't know what to think of this just yet, it seems pretty interesting but with the lack of genre tags I just don't know what to expect
blissfulyoshi
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: This was fairly low budget for a kyoani show with lackluster background detail in many areas, but it does keep the humor of the series. Probably a safe solid watch.

Gabriel DropOut: Doga Kobo doing what it does best, solid execution of CGDCT. Admittedly they changed the order of some of the chapters to introduce everyone straight away, but that is an acceptable change, esp for something as episodic as this

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2: As silly/stupid as always. Nothing really changed from S1, so if you didn't like it then, you wouldn't like it now.

Kemono Friends: I think this might win the award for worse show of the season with bad CG, horrible background details, lack of humor, and willingness to show empty pointless screens.

ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka: An extremely slow and not very well animated drama. Exactly what I don't want.

Piace: Watashi no Italian: Another lackluster short with unremarkable characters, low quality stills, and a weak appeal to food porn.

Urara Meirochou: It feels like a lackluster moe show. It is sort of funny, but the jokes sometimes feel overused. On top of that, the divination sections aren't usually funny, so it leads to periods of boredom killing my attention. I'll give it another shot for now.

ChaoS;Child: (There is an episode 0 that is a recap of Chaos;Head. If you read the series before, feel free to skip it, esp since it is not animated as well as the 2nd half. Recapping an entire VN in 23min is not exactly helpful, but it is not bad if you want a refresher course. However, I'm not going to include that in the first impressions) Episode 1 was pretty amazingly animated, but on top of that, the lead up to the murder was incredibly scary for me. I am fairly impressed that the show did that (admittedly I am easily scared and not a fan of the horror genre). The suspense, mystery, and thrill feel pretty realistic to me, so I definitely want to try watching more.
Haruto
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon : Oh look a kyoani production. But it doesnt seems like usual Kyoani graphics but so far its fun to watch it tho i dont really like the yuri characteristic here. Pretty annoying but its cute too actually lol. I'll watch more since this is a cute anime~

Kuzu no Honkai: Nothing interesting when i watched it. But i kinda get what the anime is actually trying to explain. Hmm but still dont like that sudden kissing scene. Tho its still the first episode. Might watch more of this anime later.

Konosuba 2nd Season: I Havent watch the first season but this show is truly awesome and always made me laugh, Love the dumbness characteristic on this anime lmao, its just so satisfying to watch xD. I will watch more of course for this anime~
Anxient
Demi-chan wa Kataritai: It's everything I wanted and more! I was kinda nervous when I saw that A-1 was handling it, but i'm so glad it turned out okay.

Konosuba 2: For one, I welcome DEEN and the world's worst MPA. First time I actually shouted and laughed loud enough for an entire household to hear me. Definitely watching.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: A anime produced by KyoAni, and a series created by my favorite manga artists COOL-kyou shinja. It's so heartwarming. Its a great day to be a SOL fan.

Fuuka: I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, but it's super obvious who's the main character gonna choose. It actually makes me feel sorry for the other girl, seeing how happy she was just to get a phone call from him. I don't really know if I should continue watching a timebomb, unless Diomedia changes something.

CHAOS;CHILD: (skipped the recap) Glad I ignored some reviews that focused on just the recap, because the actual 1st episode had really nice animation and good angles. This was a really nice watch after being disappointed by another Sci-fi series from last season. Great suspense and mystery.

Kuzu no Honkai: its so pretty! im a sucker for romance so im gonna watch this NTR till it dies.
Rio-
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! S2 - Silly Animation as always. Same as S1 i guess, not much change apparently. But I liked Its first Season so why not the 2nd season too?

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Low budget Anime by KyoAni but it doesn't disappoint me at all. It's fun to watch and the Comedy is laughable too. So I probably will continue watch this series.

ChäoS;Child - Skipping the Recap of Its Prequel (It's a good refreshment tho' if you already watched the 2008 Anime or playing the VN). It's pretty nice to see another pyschological Anime this season (I'm more to a mystery fan. But adding psychological in it is good too), the Thrill and the suspense got me and It feels incredibly scary. The Art is amazing and showing how realistic the Murder scene being animated. Definitely will watch this more...

Kuzu no Honkai - Not really my cup of tea at all (not really into "NTR-like" genre and I'm kind of despise that), but the Animation is great though. Maybe I'll watch it more...
TakuMii
Masamune-kun no Revenge - Been waiting absolutely forever for this one (caught up with the manga), and it's not too bad so far. I want to see how far this one will follow.

Seiren - I'm reeeeally liking this, and it's making me kinda regret not checking out Amagami SS sooner :?

Fuuka - Here's one that I jumped into without any expectations, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I've also heard tons of praise for the manga, so I'll stick around.

Rewrite Season 2 - Enjoyed the first season, and I kinda like the direction they're going with the whole VN timeline thing. I'm hoping it'll follow the trend of the other Key anime and end up being better than S1.

Kuzu no Honkai - I was kinda wondering how this one was going to go... It tells the story well, but I despise the subject matter. This'll probably be depressing to watch, but I might stick around to see if it gets any better.

Chäos;Child: Looking good in its first chapter. Presents the world in a not boring way and goes straight to the point, I like.

AKIBA' S TRIP: THE ANIMATION : I never played the game before, but i like the creativity on how to defeat those bad guys, yet the plot gives a nice opening to it, too, however, on the other side, i am not a big fan of the art style and character design

Gabriel DropOut : i enjoyed it, some jokes gets me though though, nothing to say about it

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! S2 : Although the opening is quite boring, it does gives a nice sense of humor at least

Masamune-kun no Revenge : i can't rate this properly tbh

Rewrite S2 : I am fine with the first season but this season just disappointed me as i watched the first episode, same as Konosuba, the opening is boring and the entire episode is just talking about what how kotarou get on with kagari, nothing interesting, i would like to see some improvement in the next few episodes

Rewrite / 2nd Season Moon-Hen/Terra-Hen: Glad to see they are covering more of the timeline from the VN, but this episode was super disappointing. I watched maybe 5 minutes of the whole episode and am still able to understand what is going on, so this already gives me a sour feeling to start off the 2nd season.
blissfulyoshi
Well I think the last few new shows just game out, so let's talk about them

Granblue Fantasy The Animation: A-1, where did you learn to make such blurry art. Trying to keep more of a drawn feel to everything, they used a line style very similar to the games, but probably because of horrifying tweening and blurring effects, the show became near unwatchable. (Ex: http://puu.sh/tvd6K/700737a6b8.jpg and http://puu.sh/tvdFx/f47c416cef.jpg) If you can get past that, they actually have a lot of frames dedicated to the action scenes, but whether or not you want to see mass blurring during an action scene is another story. Everything else was barely mediocre/cliche since it is the introduction to granblue

BanG Dream!: The next competitor for a high profile idol series. It is better looking than a typical Xebec work, but that is not saying much. It's nothing amazing, but as least it doesn't reek of super low budget animation. The series sadly has other problems with a really annoying mc who kills off a lot of jokes with her personality. I see a bit of hope here and there with other characters, but I don't think I'll be watching this show.
o x
Rewrite: Moon and Terra: Being a fan of the first season I expected a bit more out of the first 2 episodes. I didn't feel any emotional connection whatsoever to the characters as everything felt pretty bland and boring. Knowing the rewrite style chances are it will really pick up in the next couple episodes (I hope) or else this anime might just turn into a negative for me.

BanG Dream!: Not sure what to expect from this, it seems like another K-on! clone but it's really lighthearted and fun to watch if you have nothing else to do. I don't think it's anything special at least so far. Seems like the typical idol series.
This about sums it up.
JackBezarius18
Konosuba: At the moment I can say that his animation is not liking me at all, it's bad, but the story is still entertaining.

Fuuka: It looks interesting. The two episodes I have seen so far have been good and thematic that I like. Their animation is excellent.

Masamune-Kun no Revenge: LOL, It makes me very well trained and I hope to see how the story evolves. It is very likely that the protagonist ends up falling in love with Adagaki.

Seiren: It makes me that your pace is a bit slow, and mainly that is for a mature audience. The animation is also very good.

Kuzu No Honkai: I think it was the series that I waited the longest for. From moment I'm liking the animation and how the story unfolds. I certainly have high hopes in this anime. I had time that I did not see an anime of this time in a long time.


I do not know, but from what I see several animes this season are more oriented in a mature audience.

GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation: The sketchy art style wouldn't be an issue if the blurring wasn't so difficult to look at. This makes potentially good action scenes impossible to watch without feeling sick. I was looking forward to watching this, but the vomit-inducing animation style might force me to drop it. Wasn't sure the route A-1 would take plot-wise, but it is already seeming like any progression will be very slow.

Rewrite / 2nd Season Moon-Hen/Terra-Hen: 2nd episode received just as poorly with me as the first, moving to disliked, and most likely dropping.

I just restarted watching anime this season because I happen to like the following

Gabriel DropOut because of the light gags and the characters and Kobayashi-san no Maid Dragon because it reminds me of lucky star and the gags

I'm cringing a bit with Masamune-kun no Revenge probably because of the mc and the harem thing. Still goo though.

KonoSuba. It's neutral because it was too funny that I decided to stop watching for awhile to save my guts from popping out.

I haven't watched others though but I'm expecting a bit from Youjo Senki. I was a bit disappointed with the design but maybe my opinion would change if they made it work out fine. Still downloading.
