Best of the season:
1 - Genshiken Nidaime
2 - Uchouten Kazoku (could've been 1st if the story wasn't incomplete)

Trainwreck of the season:
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi (one of the biggest wastes of potential ever)

Shit adaptation of the season:
Danganronpa

Oh, and worst show of the season:
Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou (not only of the season, but one of the worst I've ever watched)

For me this season was all about comedy.
Gin no Saji
Monogatari Series: Second Season
Genshiken Nidaime
Servant x Service

I'll vote Gin no Saji because it had the most unique setting, and wasn't a sequel like Monogatari or Genshiken.

Megami-hen. Why else I give it 10?
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

WATAMOTE is the winner of Summer 2013 for me. With her unkempt image and crippling social anxiety, Tomoko's more than just a character, she's an icon... albeit an atypically awkward icon. Even though the show was essentially repeating the same punch line, it was a pretty damn hilarious punchline that surprisingly carried the show through its entire run. It's just a very unique and very memorable comedy.

Uchouten Kazoku is a close second, and if I'm being honest, has the best storytelling of any anime of the summer season.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.

Silver Spoon (Gin no Saji) really stole the show. It didn't have any intense fights or flashy over the top spectacles but it brought a humble and informative take on farming and all that involves. It didn't try to be anything it wasn't and succeeded at what it set out to do with flying colors.

Monogatari Series: Second Season is my second pick as the characters are all going through changes but Silver Spoon was something fresh.

Uchouten Kazoku comes at a more distant 3rd. While I dug the time they tool to develop the characters, they double dipped on some points which slowed the pacing. It took a bit too long for the plot to get moving but when it did I began to like it again. The ending was good stuff and the themes finally clicked. Also the background animation was beautiful.

Popularity doesn't equate to quality. For example, the book, 50 Shades of Gray may be popular but it's not considered to be of high quality.

It's not a show that everyone is going into, yes, but people who did watch it appreciated it for its focus on farming and what you can take away form those experiences. Silver Spoon had a lot of great messages that were presented effectively in a concise time. It made you feel something like, "Ahhhhh, now that was fulfilling!" after each episode.

It made me feel "I have to read all the manga chapters" after first episode. :P

Hahaha! There'll be more animated for it soon if you want to check it out. Even if it's only part of the manga it does a good job at showing you what it's all about. Speaking of reading manga after anime, there are a lot of longer series that I feel like jumping straight to the manga as it would be a better option, like GTO for example.

Giving a lonely vote to Tamayura. A very relaxing and heartwarming anime all the way through.

Anime of the season for summer not as active as the ones in the past. Probably because it's not in the Club Info.

So who will win? Monogatari or Gin no Saji, or maybe a third contender will appear.

I can't decide between Monogatari and Servant x Service.

Haha, it's nice that a show isnt stealing all the votes here. Actually gives some suspense. (unlike last time with AOT)
Memories may fade, but that doesn't mean there isn't any point in making them.

1.) Danganronpa *Overall wanted to re-watch more, art, story was meh
2.) Hakkenden 2
3.) Blood Lad *1st ep was cool, but then got dragged out
4.) Free& BroCon, fan service, and ED was sooo catchy, i swear it was stuck in my head forever!

I think Tamayura: More Aggressive is a very good story <3
But Kami Nomi and Monogatari are very good too.
