So as things are winding down my opinion on most shows are pretty much set. This list is in order of airing.

Hanebado
Hanebado is a no fun show. IMO it's a culmination of what someone thinks makes good sports shows good and tries to put it all in a show, but just doesn't get it. The show doesn't build rivals, it spits out enemies. It doesn't develop characters, it just forces personality shifts on them to fit the story. Each match is like something in its own world that has almost no barring for the future. The cast is unlikable, the writing is shaky, and from what I know the actual adaptation even skipped over important things that would have cleared some of this stuff up.

Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou
I would say this is most like a guilty pleasure show, but I also think it does a lot right. It has a lot of the basic character types you get in a typical harem anime, but it's not a harem which actually makes a lot of the awkward type moments you get in those that often seem tired in those, actually have some decent life in this show. There has not been a lot of real good cute comedy in the past two seasons (have to go back to the start of the year where moe was at its highest) and I think this really does the job well. It's 100% a niche show but it fits it very well. The cast, while generic, is fun to watch and the show doesn't take itself as something its not.

How not to Summon a Demon Lord
In terms of overall fan service this pretty good overall. It has a good balance in the type of girls in it too which is nice. I also liked how they don't really dwell too much on this being an isekai and instead use that simply to give quick explanations on why Diabalo knows some of the things he does. The show itself is nothing special though and while it's enjoyable enough doesn't have the same cast level as other good fan service shows. Like each of the girls are fine, but they are basically "do you like plot or justice?" rather than being good characters.

Chio's School Road
First off, Chio has dat ass. In any case this is a good comedy that is in a year that is full of good comedy. Overall I think the season was kind of up and down a bit but generally each episode is pretty solid. Some of the skits they did were great, like Kabaddi or the entire Chio makeover. I do think the show is somewhat carried by Chio as I don't really care much for the rest of the cast overall. I really enjoyed Chio's entire thing about being a real life video game assassin type character in her head. I think in like the early to mid of the run this was the funniest show of the season. While I'm not sure it ended that way, I do think Chio herself has turned into one of the best leads of the season.

Music Girls
This anime clearly has like no budget. Music Girls is a by the numbers idol show where the main character would be an amazing idol if she didn't have less singing talent than a pre autotuned Rebecca Black. Instead she becomes the manager. I honestly think that the people working on this show legitimately tried to do the best job possible with what they were given. I do think a big thing is that when we get to the predicted end of season drama that has to be in these shows, it doesn't really seem forced as it lays obvious groundwork for the trouble that they would face later on. I also think that Hanako is a very fun character and having her as the manager over making her part of the group was a great choice overall. Is this a good show? No, honestly this is like idolmaster super light, and I do think the show trailed off greatly at the end. But I also think it's something that just needed a little more work.
