From the likes of Tsurezure Children, Boku No Hero Academia, Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomorrow ni, Gamers! and Aho Girl, I think I've seen a lot Of interesting shows come out this year.

What were your thoughts on the Summer Season so far? Are you excited for Fall to come?

I see this season is pretty not bad, we have rlly big number of high rated series. Fall will be worse than summer; where I wait only for 2 sequels, but we'll see.
Is it GreanPeace? I don't think so - whine to your parents or tell'em to buy sth for ur buttpain. Those ppl won't help you.

Was quite pessimistic about it first, not too many shows initially impressed me but the overhyped shows such as Kakegurui and Ballroom were fine (Ballroom e Youkoso is one of my fave shows of this season) while in the case if any of the shows of this season failed to impress me I at least had the new season of Symphogear and the rest of Sakura Quest waiting for me, yet Tsurezure Children managed to entertain me greatly with it's fresh air of Romance Comedy, Princess Principal has been picking up the pace in the recent episodes, Aho Girl is a very crude yet hilarious short comedy series, BNHA S2 is NOICE, Isekai Shokudou manages to make me relaxed and hungry at the same time lol, Koi to Uso is just fine I like it, Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou managed to lure me in with it's heart and finally...

I think it's the weakest season for anime since like summer 2005.

The only good anime is princess principal. The latest episode was fantastic.

Fall 2017 looks vastly better. Mahoutsukai no Yome and Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau.

Made in Abyss, Mahoujin Guru Guru and Princess Principal are fantastic.

Mahoujin Guruguru is my shit.

Made in Abyss, Tsuredure Children, and Welcome to the Ballroom are cool too.

There was some shit that I dropped after 1-2 episodes and didn't add on MAL, but that's par for the course.

Made in Abyss is looking great so far, definitely one of my favourites this season.
There's also some pretty good comedies like Tsurezure Children and New Game s2 this season.
Still have to check out Princess Principal, hear that's pretty good.
Overall I like this season a lot, definitely better than Spring. that's for sure.

Mahoujin Guru Guru is the best anime this season however Tenshi no 3p is no slouch (a diamond in the cartful of bad LN adaptations), and Symphogear AxZ is also pretty good so far.

Summer 2017 has a lot of anime that are engaging and entertaining, but not really any that are particularly memorable. I haven't yet watched Ballroom yet, so maybe that'll be something?

Fall 2017 seems to have a few sequels, other than than I'll wait and see.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

I skipped this season so I could watch some other anime, any shows that stand out this season instead of Bnha?

I can name at least 10 series this summer that I find better than BnHA, but it depends on what you like.

This season is probably most notable for having a lot of decently watchable series. For great artwork, world building, storytelling and direction though, Princess Principal and Made In Abyss stand way above the rest. Hope they can keep this up with a quarter of the season left.

As for the fall season, it's better to leave the hype until a few episodes have aired. Can't tell too much from the brief synopsis given. Will need a real standout show to surpass 3-gatsu though (assuming they can maintain or exceed S1's excellence).

Best sequel is Owarimonogatari 2, best non sequel anime is Kakegurui, best leftover from Spring is Boku no Hero Academia 2, best comedy is Aho Girl (I just wanted to gave the series an special mention).

I'm excited for Fall due Kekkai Sensen and 3-Gatsu no Lion.

I've been watching anime for a few years and this is the worst season yet in my opinion. Although Im happy we have Owarimonogatari second season and Boko no Hiro is pretty good.

I'm of the opinion that the current season has a few acceptable shows, but even those are not of my interest.

Then for the rest of it, it's filled with absolute trash.

Next season seems better in all respects.

I am watching Koi to Uso and Gamers. I tried to watch some episodes of Aho Girl and Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni, but it just isn't appealing. The main girl from Aho Girl is kinda annoying and the male character is trash. He just doesn't care about anything and Isekai is a harem anime... Don't need to say anything else. But I definitely plan to watch Tsurezure Children and Princess Principal. I saw some of the clips on crunchyroll fb page and I liked them. Think this season was pretty decent so far. I just love Koi to Uso. For me, it's the best Summer 2017 anime. Maybe a lot of people don't like it, but me as a non-romance fan, who only watched 4-5 romance anime, it's a very good anime.

I'm very excited for Fall season. New Shokugeki no Souma season, Black Clover, Dies Irae and Just Because. Btw. I'm more excited for the new season of Nanatsu no Taizai coming in Winter 2018...

Made in Abyss seemed great until I realized it would be one of those useless prologue-only series.
Princess Principal could be funny if it was less serious in presentation.
18if could have been more interesting too. It's still rather entertaining for an average show who does nothing more than all those videogames where you have to resolve girls problems to build some gauge.

In the end, with all the less than mediocre things out (like every season), it probably averages out.


In fall, I'll probably try Dia Horizon out of curiosity and I'll continue ClassicaLoid, hoping for something more focused than the very episodic first half whose episodes ranged from anecdotal to fun. There is also the movie based on an older shôjo but that w<ill took a long time before coming to us.

We have a few good shows this season, which is nice, but I'm not watching as many shows as normally so that might have something to do with it.

Sequels:
Hell Girl S4

Not counting sequels:
Kagekurui or whather that gambling anime is called (feels a bit like Kaiji so yeah) is best so far for me

Made In Abyss is childish and I used to think it was overrated; but I thought the last few episodes were REALLY good
I also like Princess Principle
Tenshi no 3P for my loli needs
Aho Girl is quite funny

Isekai is this season's plague (I kinda like Isekai Shokudou though)

If fall is also this good (which I think it will be) this year is gonna be legendary.

Jigoku Shoujo is the only one that interested me this season but I'm disappointed with last week's "repeat" episode, I still haven't even caught up with most others that I am watching because I found them pretty boring. Whenever I see a new episode come out I just say to myself "maybe later" and watch something non-seasonal instead.

Same thing I think about every season.

It's mostly derivative, trend chasing, lowest common denominator trash. Not really knocking it, there's always new fans for whom all this is all will feel original and wonderful, and it should! All the stuff I watched was the same shit, it was just new to me at the time.

I like this season lot more than Spring. Kakegurui, Made in Abyss, Princess Principal and Aho Girl are my favorites.
Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
