I've never stuck with so many of the seasonal offerings before. There are just so many good shows and they're all ending ;( Favorites were Konosuba 2, Youjo Senki, Kuzu no Honkai, Kobayashi-san-chi no Maid Dragon, Demi-chan wa Kataritai, Gabriel Dropout, Onihei, and All Out!! Still need to watch Rakugo. The romcoms were disappointing though.

What do you think?

I only watched Bkue Exorcit and Masamune's revenge. I was also watching Youjo Senki, but I put it on hold until it finished airing. There's a few others that I plan to watch. Gonna watch them next season so I can let all the shows I want to watch from then pile up a couple of episodes.

It was super bipolar. 3-gatsu, Rakugo, Kuzu no Honaki, and Konosuba were incredible.

Hand Shakers, Fuuka, Akiba's Trip, Masamune-kun, One Room, etc.? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
TEN COMMANDMENTS:
1) If Evangelion and Psycho-Pass are his only 10s, he probably also worships Tool and smells like cheesy puffs 2) Freudian psychosis =/= good writing 3) Moe blob art style is only ok in pure slice-of-life comedy 4) It's ok to enjoy shounen. Having fun is allowed 5) It is not ok to enjoy isekai (jk, it is, I just fucking hate it) 6) Creator breakdown =/= good writing 7) A story does not have to be wrapped up with a bow. Life is messy, why would a good story need to be tidy? 8) InuYasha is proto-Twilight 9) Ecchi CAN be good, but is almost always an abomination 10) If God is real, They allowed Super Kid to happen, so fuck Them

I get what you mean about the sub-par ones. I couldn't get through Fuuka, Masamune-kun, or Seiren. Stayed away from Hand Shakers and One Room.

Urara Meirochou, Dragon Maid, Youjo Senki, Demi-Chan and Konosuba offset the disappointment that was Masamune-kun, so I think it's a great season myself. One bad egg didn't ruin the bunch.

I need to catch up on Seiren and Akiba's Trip still, but I'm finding them much better than people are giving them credit for ._.

Have no idea about Akiba's trip, but Seiren wasn't terrible, I just dropped it because the character interactions didn't feel natural and I didn't care about them.

It's just an average season.

Spring is desolate and Summer may be the best since 2011.

Fanboying aside, this season is pretty amazing in it's own way. I mean, we have a masterpiece and a monstrosity at the same time haha. Yup, it's super bipolar like @bastard_of_young said
No seriously.

I like how you can make such a statement without having seen many of the anime that aired. You crossed the apparent line between bold and stupid. Unless, of course, you don't update your list?

Nothing too special started airing this season.
3-gatsu and Kuzu no Honkai are my first pick , followed by Yowamushi and Konosuba.
Seiren and Gabriel DropOut were on the good side of ok.
Ao no Exorcist, Masamune-kun no Revenge rather meh and Fuuka was shit.
The Spring season looks more promising. (at least I hope so)

Tbh not even the best season in my honest opinion, but it was at least better than Winter 2016, that's pretty sure for me (I don't have to say why... just look at my scores for some shows from the season and you'll see why xD)

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and march comes the lion are the best shows 2016-2017 of this season and probably carry the entire year 2017. Some of the other shows are good to decent but those two shows are a in a different league from the rest of the shows.

Seiren is a complete garbage compared to Amagami.
Boring character boring plot and boring fanservice.
It's an insult to Amagami when people compare the two.

Ehhh... I'd agree with the fact that the fanservice is quite forced. But, don't worry, the last arc will save it... xD

You called out on me for "claiming" stuff because I did not watch the majority of the shows this season. Yet if you actually thought to bother, you'd notice I have no seasonals in my currently watching, finished or on hold, hence the sarcastic response.

Apparently not only do you lack the attention span to check on your claims, but you clearly can't detect sarcasm that is blatantly emphasized.

Pretty ironic for someone who tells people to "use their head".

I think most people on these forums know better than to use sarcasm online? And you've not updated your list since February, there were more than a few possibilities. Lastly, why WOULD you even be sarcastic about ACCA being the best? Some people actually think it is...

PS. Are you drunk or did you just wake up because your thought patterns are totally out of the left field.

And kek about the update history, how did that lead into "not watching most of the shows this season".

Yes its a pretty polarizing season as someone said earlier. I sadly dont think the quality of these 2 and Gintama/Konosuba outweigh the big pile of shit which is the rest.

Boring SoLs which are the majority are boring. Most of the good SoLs also have the drama which is also my favorite part of Sangatsu. Most of the cast are also adults which is another trait often present in good SoLs.

Strange season, the only shows where my expectation resembled reality, aside from sequels and leftovers from the previous (Konosuba and 3-gatsu no lion), was Hand Shakers. I just watched it knowing it would be bad.

Quite a lot of shows I expected to be ok or at least decent turn out to be a flop. Masamune no Revenge is horrible, even by generic rom com standards. Seiren was presented in such a dull way. Fuuka was very forgettable.

Kuzu no Honkai was still ok, but the novelty swept past within the first few episodes. By then I was begging for at least 1 or 2 normal decent human beings, it started to feel unrealistic that everyone was a scum. It would have been that much better if it was the main cast of characters but with a backdrop of mostly normal highschool students. First line of the synopsis "To the outside world, Hanabi Yasuraoka and Mugi Awaya are the perfect couple." gave me that hope that the show would be more down-to-earth. The "everyone is a scumbag" felt somewhat forced once you are able to look past the novelty of the premise.

Had my doubts on Demi-chan and Gabriel Dropout. Didn't turn out too bad, but nothing stand out. Picked up Youjo Senki for no apparent reason, didn't turn out too bad, while the plot and the side cast are not standout, I like the close-up facial expressions.

I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

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 usually only value a season based on its highlights you will never see me going out of my way to watch some terrible airing shows and in the act i do i will drop them very soon
and even the rest of the stuff like konosuba onihei lwa are mediocre but pretty watchble and entertaining(with the exception of ao no exorcist fuck that shit)

Okay then, I get what you mean. I just considered the number of anime I picked up or even considered to try and its pretty low compared to the whole last year. I didnt mean the shows you mentioned were bad but thats really all for mediocre ones.
