| Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu for sure. But Grimgar and Konosuba are surprisingly good considering everyone expected them to be the usual generic LN adaptation. It's also funny how both shows are like the exact opposite of each other despite having the same premise. i.e., being thrown into an alternate world with RPGlike elements and struggling to survive. One is light hearted, carefree, comedic and the other is dead serious, dramatic and grim (ha), yet both are extremely enjoyable in their own way. |
| Konosuba by far-best comedy of the season hands down. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| For me it's Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. Really enjoying it. |
For me it's Dimension W It looked plain for the beginnig and turned out to be amazing |
 |
| I would say Konosuba or Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, as they fit the definition of "dark horse" the most. I would like to say Ajin as well but it has been criminally underrated by the community thus far, and I only expect that to continue. |
| its between KonoSuba and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu I wasnt even expecting these to be any good considering they are both done by studio DEEN Kono Suba - I thought it was just going to be another run in the trash generic LN adaptation, turns out it takes those tropes and it actually makes it into something that is quite enjoyable Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - This wasnt even on my PTW list, but everything else was, i thought considering i know absolutely nothing about rakugo, i still gave it a go as almost all the time i do, and i am glad i did watch it, one of the most underwatched shows of the season and definatley deserves more love. I even want to learn more about Rakugo. |
| Shouwa Gen It's shows like these that pull me back into anime. I wish there were multiple offerings of its kind every season... |
| If grimgar is a dark horse then i'll pick that, Many people don't like the slow pace but I enjoy it |
| KonoSuba for me. Wasn't in my PTW and I never thought it would be this enjoyable. |

Kuma said: hai to gensou no grimgar. everything looking down on it because LN adaptation, slow paced, and generic theme. i like it because one of those rare LN faithful adaptation that not totaly rushed and actualy give spotlight to character. grimgar is indeed great the way it spent the first episode by giving spotlight of how fat the character was is amazing |
| showa rakugo is really the surprise of the season the writing of the show is great the character interactions are really fun to watch and the development for kikuhiko is really well handled |
EpicShonenGuy said: only make sanse first 2 episode, the rest is just garbage.I personally like Dimension W, but idk why almost no one mentions it, it's a cool show tbh. gabrielrroiz said: do you even chit chat in rest time? talking about one char being fat is prefectly normal. also looking about ranta personality, yes it gonna be like that. it's much better than 2 guys act like guy each other for trolling another party member.Kuma said: hai to gensou no grimgar. everything looking down on it because LN adaptation, slow paced, and generic theme. i like it because one of those rare LN faithful adaptation that not totaly rushed and actualy give spotlight to character. grimgar is indeed great the way it spent the first episode by giving spotlight of how fat the character was is amazing |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Shouwa genkurou rakugo shinjuu is really good. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Probably Dimension W later on, it has a pretty interesting premise although the loli android keeps getting in the way of things for me. From what I'm watching Assclass 2 is IMMENSELY better than anything else I'm watching. Grimgar is pretty boring and Kono suba isn't funny to me. |

bobzanny said: Konosuba by far-best comedy of the season hands down. Could anyone explain to me why KonoSuba is considered a "dark horse" when it clearly does what it advertised itself to do: make dirty, immature jokes in a "comedic" setting? On-topic, I would say personally, ERASED, as I was not at all interested in it before I watched the first episode. Though it has its faults, it's an anime I can enjoy, unlike a certain comedy fantasy shows that is far shallower than it. |

| Probably like most are saying, KonoSuba. That said, there definitely a few series I was not anticipating to enjoy as much as I did this season. |

| Dagashi Kashi, so far for me has been the best anime of the season, keeping in mind I haven't seen Erased yet although that won't count for the dark horse of the season. Dagashi has just a good fun anime about sweets/snack items which has appealed very well to me. If I can't choose it as its currently in the top 5 for the season on site I use, then I'll go with Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu or Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm. Although I don't have many choices since I've already dropped two this season (Musaigen no Phantom World and Cupid's Chocolates, granted the Cupid's Chocolate started kinda in Fall) and I'm considering droppng another two with Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut. |

Though it has its faults, it's an anime I can enjoy, unlike a certain comedy fantasy shows that is far shallower than it. Simple it's because it's done by Studio Deen, has the setting "transferred to another world" and is a pseudo harem. All of which are a recipe for an average at best anime, yet what we are getting is anything but. |

| Here I am looking forward to every episode of Dimension W despite it being less than mediocre. Entertaining piece of crap. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| None. Nothing sticks out except for Gintama. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| This is the first season since I started watching anime where 0 full-length shows are watchable. Zero. The only show that's any good is Ojisan to Marshmellow and it's a 3 minute short. |

CoolMorz said: Has to be Grimgar. It's like a more serious Log Horizon with better enviroment I'm surprised how low the raiting for it is on MAL. :( This is MAL. People dropped Maria the Virgin Witch episode one and shat on it's rating because there's a succubus in it. Don't pay too much attention to the ratings, until at least a year after the show has aired. When the marathoners come they'll be able to appreciate the show for what it is, instead of getting offended by everything. |
Holybaptiser said: Here I am looking forward to every episode of Dimension W despite it being less than mediocre. Entertaining piece of crap. I was really enjoying Dimension W at first; it stood out as one of the top 5 for me in the first 1-2 episodes but since then my enjoyment of it has lessened each week. I can't quite place my finger on why, though. It's just became very 'meh'. CoolMorz said: Has to be Grimgar. It's like a more serious Log Horizon with better enviroment I'm surprised how low the raiting for it is on MAL. :( In all fairness there are a lot of glaring issues with Grimgar. It's gotten better with the last two episodes but there were way too many problems with the first 4. Lol@ a 7.57 rating being considered low. That's a good rating. The scale goes from 1 to 10, not 5 to 10. |

ItsMaz said: In all fairness there are a lot of glaring issues with Grimgar. It's gotten better with the last two episodes but there were way too many problems with the first 4. Does the pacing get quicker beyond episode 3? I've seen the first 3 episodes but stopped watching it for now as it felt too slow for me to continue. |
| For me Sekkou Boys, best commedy of the season xD I never expected to laugh so much, especially in a male idol show about Shouwa, just looking for the poster I knew it had to be good |
| i think grimgar gets a lot of shit from people because of the setting, people look at the whole MMORPG thing and come to the conclusion the show should be about an adventure with intense fighting and yadda yadda, but it ends up being more on the Slice of Life side of things. |

I wouldn't say the pacing has changed, but the dialogue has improved somewhat. They're actually taking into account their dire situation and not spending half an episode talking about peeping on girls and all that other bullshit. I mean, the female characters are actually getting some lines of dialogue now too. But yeah, it's a little bit too soon to say whether it would be worth picking this back up again or not, but at the very least it's no longer fucking god-awful.

Dunno about other people, but my issues stem from the fact that the dialogue feels like it was written by a 12 year old. It's one thing to include the boring trope of peeking on girls and talking about whether they are fat or not, but it isn't believeable at all when you look at the context of it - they struggle to kill the weakest of mobs, they barely have enough money to eat or sleep anywhere, and they still have the issues of having lost half their memories. When they're camping out in the wilderness wondering what they're going to have to do to get their next meal, you'd think they'd act just a little bit more mature. They don't really have time to get into heated debates and arguments when they're all starving to death. Not to mention that because of the insane amount of time spent on juvenile conversations, the actually interesting parts of the story get glossed over. On the 4th episode where they go over what abilities everyone has, they just go down a list reading off who can do what, interruptng combat over and over again. If they hadn't spent quite literally 25-30 minutes of the previous three episodes talking about dumb shit, they could have used that time to instead introduce the Guild system in a better manner, showing us the abilities they were learning and putting them into practice. It would have been so much better, IMO, to see them working together as a group to learn their abilities and overcome their problems. When they mapped out the surrounding area it was quite a monumental feat for them - it was showing that they were getting better and were able to handle bigger packs of goblins. But they glossed over that in literally 60 seconds. We got given some shitty listing exposition about what they have learned and what they've done in the last X amount of time and that was that. It just feels like the priorities of Grimgar are completely backwards. |

Hope its moves along the story a bit faster since it seems like it could be a very interesting anime, but its just moving at a too slow a pace for me. |
