My indecisive nature has foiled me once again and I'm struggling to decide what I should watch next from my PTW list.

So I'm leaving the decision to you guys. Suggest something from my PTW list and I'll watch whatever gets the most suggestions.

(Not Erased I'm waiting for it to finish airing first)

Only 7 to choose from. You don't seem to have watched any horror so higurashi is probably a good way to start off if your interested.

If I were you? Nothing from there. Watch the Death Billiard OVA instead, Death Parade pretty much ruined everything that made it good.

What's the thinking behind this? I've heard similar stuff before, but having watched both, I don't get it. The overarching storyline of DP isn't very strong, sure, but I thought the episodic segments were at least on-par with DB, if not better.

Ok I'm calling it here.

4 - for Death Parade
2 - for Higurashi
1 - for Mirai Nikki, Denpa-teki and Shirobako

Looks like Death Parade wins.
Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

Exactly. I felt the weak over-arcing storyline, the mess that is the regular cast, and way the mythology was use really detracted from the episodic stories. And I disagree about the episodic segments being better... some were on par but the explanations and the unnecessary clarification that followed undid all the good work.

The whole point of DB is that we don't know where the players ended up going and the uncomfortable sense regarding Decim's objectivity came through clearly enough as it is. It raised questions, but those questions didn't need on-screen answers. I don't really enjoy being patronised by anime, the spoon-feeding and lack of subtlety gets really grating in DP over time.

I guess if you are not a big fan of episodic shows or if you like your stories to be absolutely clear and (imo overly) well-explained, Death Parade is the way to go.

tl;dr: I like Mushishi and I'm hella salty.
