#1 Love Live! Sunshine

Predicted Rating at start : 9

Initial Impressions: I have a huge bias towards Love Live now, Ever since I saw the original I was absolutely captivated by it and it's zealous charm, The last thing I expected was to love an idol anime. Ever since then I had high expectations for this one and I must say the episodes till date are bsolutely charming, Loved them. The conversations between Riko and Chika are just so enchanting and some of the scenes are just beautiful to see. Getting the same old Love Live charm out of this one and the songs are nice and catchy as well. It's also amazing to see how Muse has influenced this story, Muse's tagline "Making Dreams come true together" could not be more fitting than this story right here. I have faith this will be just as good as the original Love Live.
Aqours debut performance was great, Though not as great and emotional as Muse but it was still emotional :3

Mid Season Impressions:Yeah, I love this show. Every episode is charming and never fails to excite me. Got everything I wanted out of the show, No complaints here, All the Love Live! charm is still there. I love all the girls, Win! Win! Win! Aqours Sunshine!!

Final Impressions:Overall, Initially I had my doubts if Sunshine would be able to recreate the same charm and uplifting zeal the original had on me. Now, I can say definitively or atleast for me Sunshine was just as charming as the original and I loved it. Every episode was filled with overwhelming cuteness and charm, Some of the scenes were really enchanting, heartwarming and even felt magical at points. All the nine members of Aqours were really lovable and the nine-man dynamic they bring to the table is just pure fun to watch. Soundtrack was fantastic, Performances and songs were excellent as well. I loved all the µ's references, In fact the influence of µ's in this story is something I loved seeing cause it fits so well with their tagline.
The show was also morally uplifting, motivating and inspiring with the whole ‘Zero to One’ theme and also about chasing after the things you really want to do with all your heart. I’m a huge sucker for this kind of stuff which is why I loved the original so much and I’m glad can say the same about Sunshine too. :D
Story wise, Yes, µ's did it better and was the bigger heartfelt underdog story and yes Sunshine wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the success of µ's but I wouldn’t rule Sunshine out yet, It’s more than just a carbon copy so many people were calling it, especially with the last few episodes. The show is starting to diverge and take on a path and identity of its own. I have high hopes for the 2nd season.

Final Rating : 10


#2 Amanchu!

Predicted Rating at start : 9


Initial Impressions: Definitely has one of the best atmospheres this season, Has a very tranquil and soothing feel to it. The characters are lovable and all those blushing faces are just too cute to handle. A lot of really captivating and charming scenes every episode, Love them :D .

Mid Season Impressions: From the pool to the Sakura tree to the diving to the chalk diagram to the Hydrangea, Everything is just enchanting. Show has a really nice message of enjoying yourself to the fullest, Learning from experience and having fun no matter what. I knew it back in episode 1 when sensei said "Fun is infinite" that I would love this show and I sure do.

Final Impressions: Overall, Amanchu! was nothing short of spectacular. Every episode was relaxing, charming, enchanting, fun and often left me with nothing but a huge grin on my face. Loved the overall atmosphere of the show, Beautiful, tranquil and pure bliss. There were just way too many captivating moments that left me entranced, The Pool scene, The Cherry Blossom view, The Chalk Drawing, The Hydrangea, All the Teko and Pikari moments especially the gift giving, The final diving and many more, were all Mesmerizing, Heartfelt and Heartwarming. Teko’s monologues also added so much to the beauty of each scene.
All the characters were lovable and I absolutely adore the friendship between Teko and Pikari, The way it unfolded was just so natural and sweet. The show also had a really nice uplifting message of living every moment to the fullest, Having fun no matter the circumstance and learning from your experiences.
To quote the first episode of the series ”Fun is Infinite.”
Mine was too.

Final Rating : 10



#3 Shokugeki no Souma:Ni no Sara

Predicted Rating at start : 9

Initial Impressions:Classic Shokugeki is back, I've missed this show! The 2nd season started out real strong and I'm loving it.

Mid Season Impressions:The shokugeki battles are paced a bit fast at least in comparison to the first season but they're still great to see. Foodgasms are great as always. I wish I could taste the food they make, What the eye can see, The hand is unable to reach T.T

Final Impressions:Overall, Great season. Maybe a little fast paced when compared to the last but I still got the classic Shokugeki feel out of it and was really enjoyable. The tournament was exciting and watching Souma make his dishes always puts a smile on my face. It was nice to see his character explored about how he always moves forward and works harder than anyone no matter the circumstance, Quite the inspiring guy. XD It's gonna be great watching him grow into a great chef and find his own style of cooking now, Stagiaire arc was excellent build up for the start of his journey.

Final Rating : 9


#4 Mob Psycho 100

Predicted Rating at start : 7

Initial Impressions:While I didn't find the series all that great in the first two episodes the third one has easily cast that issue aside, I absolutely love the way they fleshed out Mob as a character who is both relatable and very interesting to watch. The fact that he understands that he doesn't view a lot of things the same as most people do is something I really identify with and I'm very interested at how Mob will tackle this problem and if the solution he finds may be similar to mine.

Mid Season Impressions:Show just gets better and better, The fight sequences, the conflict, Reigen!

Final Impressions:Overall, After the first two episodes I wasn't really impressed with Mob Psycho but the continual rise in quality in all aspects be it action, characters, story and conflict easily pushed it into one of my favorites of the season. Simply put this show was just all round fun and super entertaining and I'm sure a lot of that is because of Reigen. This show seriously wouldn't be where it is without him. XD The other characters were great too and the fight sequences were just outstanding, Stellar production from Bones.
Final Rating : 9



#5 Amaama to Inazuma!

Predicted Rating at start : 9

Initial Impressions:This show is way too adorable and so sweet. It's giving me the Usagi drop vibes. The episodes so far have been fantastic, I absolutely love them and they're really enjoyable to watch, Lot of sweet and heartwarming moments. Some are really touching as well, I get all teary eyes ;.; .

Mid-Season Impressions:The characters are really lovable, All those blushing faces are just too cute. Love how the series showcases how Kouehi and Tsumugi's relationship grows with each passing day.

Final Impressions:Overall, Definitely one of the best shows this season. Great and entertaining character cast, The simple and often formulaic episodes of the show worked really well in it's favor. Character interactions were lovable, sweet and really heartwarming, The emotional moments of the show definitely hit hard and I teared up multiple times but most of all, every episode succeeded in leaving a huge grin on my face with a really good feeling.

Final Rating : 9



#6 Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin

Predicted Rating at start : 8


Initial Impressions:Very interesting start, Fantasy setting, War and behind enemy lines. This show could prove to be quite entertaining and thrilling even. Liking the MC already especially since he's supposed to be a strategist, Looking forward to some intense tactical warfare. The behind enemy lines part ended way sooner than I expected.

Mid Season Impressions:The only complaint I have about this show is how Ikta gets manhandled, I don't mind it when it's meant as comedy but it doesn't feel fair during the other times.Getting better every episode, Ikta ftw, The way the show portrays war and strategy is excellent.

Final Impressions: Overall, Great series, Nice character cast, Ikta in particular just gets more likable each episode. Loved how the show portrayed War, Strategy and Tactics and the grim outcomes of war. The diplomatic parts were great too, All this is only the beginning though, Would love to see how all these different sides of this power struggle in the world develop.

Current Rating : 8



#7 New Game

Predicted Rating at start : 8

Initial Impression: Cute girls doing cute things in a Game Development setting, Wow. I'm all up for it. XD Would be nice if they explored the game dev scene but that probably won't happen. Character interactions are really fun to watch.

Mid-Season Impression:Shows keeps getting better and better, Really fun and lovely to watch, Characters are lovable and I really like how hardworking each of them are. The game development aspect may not be portrayed in depth and is probably a peripheral aspect but it's still great to watch and really showed how hard it is to make a single NPC character. I find the show strangely captivating at points. The fan service in the show is very very good XD. Not over the top, not scarce but just right.

Final Impression:Overall, Definitely one of my favorite shows this season. Adorable characters, Lovely interactions, Subtle but efficient fan service and was nothing but fun to watch from the start to finish. I loved the little references to various software and the small game development side of the show, Sure you may not be able to call it realistic but it was still a joy to watch and at the end of the day, The show left me with nothing but smiles.

Final Rating : 8



#8 Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Predicted Rating at start : 9

First Half Impressions:I went into this show on a whim and completely blank, Honestly I was mindblown. This show is absolutely fantastic and really intense when it counts and people say it gets even better? God I can't wait. The setting felt a little typical at first but what it becomes is absolutely amazing, I haven't felt these death-loop vibes since Steins;Gate. Really feel for Subaru as he tries to get through each scenario without dying, Gotta applaud the way he's able to act so cheerful under those circumstances. Props to him and Emilia-tan for being <3

Second Half Impressions:2nd half seems a little unpleasant for now, Compared to how he was in the first 2 arcs, Subaru has become very unpleasant, Pitiful even and his reasons for it aren't very compelling to me for now. Hopefully there's a backstory on him or something that shows me why he's acting this way cause for now all I can do is speculate. It's become real hard to root for him. Hoping for a redemption or some kind of reasoning behind Subaru psyche.It's nice that Subaru has finally redeemed himself and gone back to his good old self, I'm finally able to smile while watching Re:Zero again. Though I don't think that will be enough for me to bump the rating back to 10.I don't know, Ever since the character inconsistency I can't bring myself to enjoy Re:Zero on the same level as before, I still can't root for Subaru like I did before. I feel sometimes his motivations or character feels artificial. I still like enjoy the show but just not the same way I used too and that's sad. :(

Final Impressions:Overall, It's kinda hard for me to put a definitive rating on Re:Zero. I absolutely loved the first half, However the second half with Subaru's whole character issues was so obnoxious to the point I lost all emotional investment in the series, The only thing it had going at that point was the shock factor delivered through gore and obligatory cliffhangers. The extreme amount of edginess on Subaru during that phase was way too unpleasant for me, I wouldn't have had a problem with it if he was that way in the first place but I just couldn't put this past me given how much I liked him in the beginning. Even the last few episodes weren't enough to redeem my lost emotional investment in the series. I will not however say I did not enjoy it, I did enjoy the show just that the scale of my enjoyment fell drastically compared to before.
Also hats off to White Fox for their outstanding production values, Fantastic OST and directing and if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the show as much as I did in the second half.

Final Rating : 8



#9 Orange

Predicted Rating at start : 9

Initial Impressions:Loved the manga so I was really excited for this. Adaptation so far has been really good, Though they've been doing 1 chapter 1 episode. Expect them to step up the pace soon. The art is beautiful and it's really great to see the characters again. Gonna love this series all over again. Will definitely be great as long as they don't screw anything up.

Mid-Season Impressions:The pace is a little fast now since they have to get through the material and some subtle characterization is skipped. I'm not feeling the same emotions I felt when I first read the series but it's still good and the nostalgia is nice.

Final Impressions: Overall, I don't think the anime matched upto the manga despite being a very faithful adaptation and I appreciate them for sticking to the manga through and through. I'm sure I was way more emotional when I read the manga, Perhaps the story's impact can be felt the most only the first time or maybe it was the fact that the pacing was much faster in the anime, They had to cut out a fair amount of monologues and rely more on visual imagery. That being said I still enjoyed this a lot, Loved all the characters, Art and animation did drop a few episodes but that wasn't too much of a problem for me. Though for anyone wanting to get into Orange I think I'd definitely recommend the manga over the anime.

Final Rating : 8



#10 D.Gray Man Hallow

Predicted Rating at start : 8

Initial Impressions:That was a real good re introduction back into the D.Gray Man world. Think they're doing good adaptation wise though I do feel it's paced quite fast at times. Most of the voice actors have changed.

Mid-Season Impression: I've gotten used to the voices now. The Order can be really cruel sometimes that I end up thinking the Earl might be the nicer guy. XD Then again the order have no choice but to do the things they do, Ah leave it to D.Gray man to create that ominous dark atmosphere. I also caught upto the manga and I must say that the adaptation is not as upto the mark, It's still good though.

Final Impressions:Overall, I'm really glad D.Gray Man came back. I read through the manga because of it and I'm really glad I decided to read ahead and get caught up. The anime was good but it definitely could have been better. While they did capture the atmosphere of the manga well, I did think the presentation at times was underwhelming, Especially during the Alma Karma arc. Pacing was also a bit on the fast side save for the final quarter of the show, I suppose they wanted to burn through the chapters to so they could get to this point. While these final 2-3 episodes were fantastic the ones before them could have definitely been better, However I still enjoyed them and I'm glad we at least got something. Also I'm glad they kept the old soundtrack. :D

Final Rating : 8




#11 ReLIFE

Predicted Rating at start : 8


Final Impression: I've heard that this manga was pretty and good and the anime was great as well, Binged it immediately. The show is absolutely hilarious at points and some scenes are just sweet and heartwarming. All the characters were really likable, Also love how Arata's past business life ties into the show. Really liked seeing how his actions influenced his juniors back at his work. Some of his comments made me reminisce about my school life and made me wonder if my school life was truly fulfilling? I enjoyed my school but the show did make me wonder if I got everything I wanted out of my school days.

Final Rating : 8



#12 Tales of Zestiria the X

Predicted Rating at start : 7

Initial Impression:The prologue was really good and I think I can expect this to be a good show, Normally video game adaptations suck but this one might be good. The world lore is very intriguing and the characters are likable.

Mid-Season Impression:The fight scenes are absolutely amazing, In fact the series is visually stunning in all aspects. I also get an adventurous vibe from the show, Well it's based on an RPG after all. The Berseria intro was excellent and I love how it seems to act as a real prologue to the game. Lailah and Velvet are best girls <3

Final Impression:Overall, I really liked the show, Animation and fight sequences were awesome and the world lore is quite interesting, I like the characters and the story seems decent. I really wanna play the game but damn steam hasn't been cutting me any deals. The Berseria segment was amazing too.

Final Rating : 8



#13 Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan

Predicted Rating at start : 7
Current Rating : 8

This show is really hilarious at points, Saiki is damn awesome. The rest of the characters are great as well. Really fun to watch.



#14 Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!

Predicted Rating at start : 7

Initial Impression: Seems like a fun show, Characters are cute and their interactions seem enjoyable to watch.

Mid-Season Impression:Show has been really fun and hilarious so far. Usami is super cute and Uchimaki is living the dream, Make your own 2D waifu ftw, "Know your place 3D'ers" XD
Imari is best girl, I love her Chuuni trait.

Final Impression:Overall, It was a really fun show. Loved all the characters, Hilarious at points and very sweet at times as well and often left a smile on a face. Liked the Otaku traits of Uchimaki and Imari a lot, Would have loved to see more Imari segments. Don't really have anything else to say apart from this.

Final Rating : 8



#15 Days

Predicted Rating at start : 8
Current Rating : 7

Finally a football anime, I've been wanting one ever since Area no Kishi, I already like the characters and there's a good amount of passion and zeal in the show. Would be nice if they covered the matches in more detail, Plus there were clearly no referees in the match in episode 7. Characters seem good enough Hoping to see some more development in Tsukushi. The presentations of the matches could be better, There's a lot of still frames and sometimes it's disregard for gravity. It's like watching a running commentary sometimes. I still enjoy the games, Just that it could be better.



#16 Handa-kun

Predicted Rating at start : 7


Initial/Mid-Season Impressions:While it isn't at all similar to Barakamon, The show is still fun it it's own right. Some of the comedy is good though some of it does miss. Though watching Handa's misinterpretations and paranoia is very entertaining.

Final Impression:Overall, Barakamon was undeniably better but Handa-kun wasn't bad at all. The comedy was good for the most part and character actions were often amusing to watch.

Final Rating : 7



#17 Sousei no Onmyouji

Predicted Rating at start : 7
Current Rating : 7

Show as been quite average for now, The world still needs explaining to do especially for a Battle-Shounen. Rokuro and Benio's interactions are nice though, Fight scenes look good but there isn't really anything intense for now. I do hear that it is a horrible adaptation and the manga is far better, Might consider reading the manga if this doesn't get interesting for while. Sometimes the drama and action doesn't click with me.
Show has picked up since episode 16, It's gotten quite good. Hopefully it gets better and better. Benio and Rokuro's chemistry is really great and cute.



#18 91 Days

Predicted Rating at start : 7
Current Rating : 7

Initial Impression: Dark mafia setting, Revenge plot and gang politics seems very interesting.

Mid-Season ImpressionI like the show, I feel it's captured the mafia atmosphere quite well but I don't know it doesn't appeal all that much too me. It's good but that's all I can say about. The conspiracy and revenge motives are all great but I don't know, Maybe I'm not a big fan of the mafia atmosphere.

Final Impression:Overall, Good show, It captured the mafia atmosphere really well. I suppose you could sort of sum this up as the story of two men who couldn't pull the trigger on each other. Nero on Avlio in the past(possibly now as well) and Avlio couldn't bring himself to kill Nero as well. The story was good and it was interesting to see how Avlio manipulated and worked his way up to pull of his revenge. I'm fairly neutral towards the characters, Can't say I liked anyone in particular. I guess this show was never really about getting you attached to it's characters after all.
Sort of a mildly nihilistic ending as well, Nero's monologue about how there's no reason needed for living, Just live and the whole waves at the end washing away everything could signify that there was really no meaning to anything that transpired.





#19 Planetarian

Predicted Rating at start : 7

Setting was nice and the interactions were really bittersweet, The way Yumemi talks and those final dialogues were really sad.

Final Rating : 7



#20 Bananya

Predicted Rating at start : 7
Final Rating : 7

Bananya achieved his dream, That's what counts. Well it was fun.

Final Rating : 7



#21 Rewrite

Predicted Rating at start : 8

Initial Impression: Very interesting start, The girls all look really cute and I really liked the character interactions.

Mid-Season ImpressionFeels fairly fast paced. Some of the drama seems to exist as a reason to close certain plot points rather than to improve the relationship between the MC and the girls. It has gotten quite intense lately and the supernatural element is definitely very interesting, Can't comment on it adaptation wise but I do intend to play the VN one day especially since it gets a lot of praise. The story is moving forward very fast and switching from point to point very quickly. 10 episodes in and still lot of stuff left unexplained

Final Impression:Well I don't really know what to think, I went into this show expecting a good deal since there's a lot of praise for the VN but I guess I'm gonna have to say that it was quite underwhelming. Then again I do see a lot of people claiming it's a horrible adaptation and they butchered a lot of stuff.

I didn't really have any emotional attachment to the cast, I'm guessing they tried to develop too many characters in the short span. The last scene with everyone disappearing as beautiful and bittersweet as it was supposed to be, I didn't really feel anything strong towards it. The show kept switching focus from one character to the other too often that the whole friendship among the main cast felt very superficial, Even during the scene where Koutarou rejects the idea of killing Kagari, I find it odd that he cares or rather has so much affection towards her when their relationship didn't feel all that deep, I mean she became prominent only towards the 3rd quarter of the show. I guess the way they tried to flesh out the characters and their relationships just didn't click for me, perhaps with the exception of Koutarou and Kotori.

The story was kinda all over the place the last few episodes, I understood the basic premise but the development over it was sort of chaotic I guess? Didn't completely get all the plot points and there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
So basically our finale is with everyone disappearing and the world being rewritten to a primordial state? That's basically it? Cause from what I read above the 2nd season will be adapting a different arc.

Well despite all my issues, I still enjoyed the show a fair bit.

Final Rating : 6



#22 Berserk(2016)

Predicted Rating at start : 6

Initial/Mid-Season Impression: This could have been my #1 anime for the season if it was a faithful 2D adaptation, It's really sad that they do this, Berserk really doesn't deserve this treatment. The character models look really bad and the rest of it is well okay I guess, Nothing great. Well I didn't have expectations for this after seeing the PV but still it's really sad seeing one of the best manga's ever get this kind of treatment. They even changed stuff up and are mixing different arcs x.x They finally started following the manga in episode 2 but are going anime original for episode 3 :|, That just sucks. I guess it's cause they want to tone down the mature content. I hope all this original stuff ends soon.

Final Impressions:Overall, Everyone does hate on this show too much. I do agree that Berserk does not deserve this treatment and should definitely be treated better but the anime in itself was not really that badly done. Sure the animation along with the CGI was jarring at times but I wouldn't call it atrocious(Probably cause I wasn't expecting much from this department anyway), The fight scenes weren't half bad as well. Soundtrack was fantastic and apart from the random original stuff in the early episodes I have no complaints regarding the adaptation of the Retribution arc.

Final Rating : 6



#23 Servamp

Predicted Rating at start :6

Initial Impression:Still not completely sold on this, Setting is fairly typical and the characters aren't proving to be very interesting. The main pair seem decent and the action isn't really that great.

Mid-Season Impression:It's been getting better slowly after each episode nothing substantial though.

Final Impression:Overall, I don't really have much to say regarding this show. Started out very typical and there was nothing really special about it, I guess you could say the show tried to make all the characters look cool and badass and I can say they didn't completely succeed on that, They had their moments, I'll give them that. Characterization on Lawless and Licht was also much better than our main duo. Other than that the show was pretty average throughout save for the last quarter minus our finale which were pretty good. Nothing exceptional story wise as well but at least you could follow it with decent clarity unlike a certain other show this season.Looking at you Taboo Tattoo

Final Rating : 6



#24 Battery

Predicted Rating at start : 7


Initial Impression: It was a good start but a slow one, It lacks the zealous nature that most sports anime bring to the table but instead focuses on a more atmosphere building giving it a kinda realistic feel I guess.

Mid Season Impression: Very heavy on the drama side and it feels a little over the top since there's way to much drama for 13 year olds. Dislike the fact that everyone wants to control Takumi, The coach wants to be a dictator like literally. Definitely on Takumi's side when it comes to the drama, No reason for him to take all the crap that's thrown at him. The matches really lack life in them, I guess watching this after watching Diamond no Ace made me expect more or something.

Final Impression:Overall, I guess I just wasn't impressed at all. When I started it, I was expecting a mature sports show since it didn't look like your classic Shounen but most of the time it was just kids creating unnecessary melodrama on stupid issues. The bullying, The drama with the seniors, Takumi and Gou fighting and making up over and over again, Even the bit with Kadowaki and Shugo. You would think a couple of middle school kids could have fun playing baseball but apparently there's too much egotistical conflict for that to happen. There were only 2 episodes of baseball throughout the entire show as well and the last match was like 5 minutes. :|
Put simply there was no energy or zeal one would expect from a sports anime, Sure you can say that it wasn't present because this is supposed to be a mature take on baseball and how it affects the characters, But even then, Can you really call the drama and baseball that was showcased mature?

Final Rating : 5



#25 Taboo Tattoo

Predicted Rating at start : 7

Initial Impression:Fairly typical start, Nothing really special in terms of story. Liked the characters that were introduced. Action however is excellent, Cinematography is excellent and gives the fight sequences a real 'adrenaline rush' feel to it. Even if it ends up going downhill it might be worth the watch for the action alone.

Mid-Season Impression: 6 episodes in and it has gotten slightly worse, You could say it's fairly cliched as well, I don't really mind cliche's as long as they're executed well but so far the execution has been average, Some transitions are really fast and end up all over the place. The fights at times make no sense. Arya is probably the best thing out of the show, Those Yuri scenes are real turn on's. XD
Alright, Now the show has gone completely downhill, Completely over the place, Couldn't care less for any of the characters, Nonsensical plot explanations. Whatever, Only watching for action and Arya now

Final Impression:Overall, Taboo Tattoo started decently, The fights were what attracted me in the beginning and as it turns out that's all the series ever had going for it. Show became progressively worse each episode eventually dissolving into a complete train-wreck with a nonsensical plot and Random fast paced transitions, Didn't care for most of the characters save for Arya, Cal, Tom and Tamaki. Till the end I had no clue how the whole Tattoo thing worked, Maybe I should have payed more attention but I wasn't really willing to do that. Zero emotional investment on my part, Most of my enjoyment of the show came at me laughing at it save for some of the fight scenes and the fan service, especially the service with Arya.

Final Rating : 5



#26 Hatsukoi Monster

Predicted Rating at start : 6

Initial Impression: The comedy was hilarious, The fact that there's a character named Gin voiced by Tomokazu Sugita cracking dick jokes makes me remember Gintama and that is making the comedy better.

Mid-Season Impression: Can't really take all the drama seriously, What exactly does Kaho expect from a primary school student? The comedy moments are still nice so I guess I'm watching only for the comedy I guess. The ending segments are sometimes better than the episodes.

Final Impression:Overall, I can clearly say I didn't really like any of the drama/romance elements in the show. I found them very annoying and thereby detrimental to my enjoyment of the show. All of the drama was brought about because of stupid reasons like the whole Sadako thing in the final episode. Couldn't really take any of the characters seriously and many came off as annoying too. I however did like the comedy to an extent, The kiddish humor and weiner jokes along with the antics of the gang was often amusing to watch but at the same time some of the humor felt a little forced and hence fell flat.
5/10 from me, The show will probably finish last on my rankings for the season unless Taboo Tattoo can pull out an even bigger fiasco.

Final Rating : 5
