Phantom in the Twilight
I never expect anything from these reverse harem shoujo otome style shows with like supernatural powers. I mean look at this crap like Vampire Knight, and Diabolik Lovers. Even something like Dance with Devils (which showed a little promise early on) ended up being really bad. This though... is not bad. I'm not sure if it's good but it manages to actually have a cast that is pretty fun and a main girl who manages to stand on her own as a character rather than rely on the rest of the cast for her entire development.

Revue Starlight
Barring a disaster of a last episode this is the best new show of the season. The overall production is great, the cast is diverse and entertaining, the soundtrack is the best of the year. Not only that but the overall use of the music is amazing too. This is a show that is 100% worth an entry into hidive for.

Grand Blue
This is a pretty funny show with a mild amount of fans service for both genders. While I do laugh quite a bit at this I've found it difficult to really care beyond "it's funny".

High Score Girl
While this got off to a rough start I think this has shaped up to be one of the best shows of the season. I'm really impressed with the way the handle character dynamics between the mains, especially when one of them (Ono) like never talks. I'm also impressed with the level of which they portray what people perceived gaming culture to be like as the show progresses throughout time. I think people forget that it was not that long ago where being a gamer was looked at quite differently and how the way information got out about games was also very different and I also think the way the characters progress themselves kind of shows the evolution of that changing. I do think that a lot of the good in this show is more subtle and might be lost on viewers who have not experienced what the show is portraying first hand, but I think this has been great.

Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Spring
This is another fan service style show where I think the actual fan service is a little on the light ecchi side (versus full on ecchi as in demon lord) and overall not quite as much as in like Harukana. Where this show excels is simply being a cute comedy romance with minor character development overall and focusing on comedic episodes versus trying to do a lot of other things. While this is not going to put it in any GOAT level anime it does mean it has manged to stay consistently enjoyable.

Attack on Titan Season 3
I do think the early episodes and such with all the political stuff and things just kind of happening were pretty dumb. But it did bring it back and has manged to really boost of Krista's character to a level I didn't know was possible for what was a minor side character.

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi
One of the returning shows. Pretty much still one of the best shows airing. Great art work, wonderful set pieces, just a feel good type anime.

Steins;Gate 0
This is anime of the year and it's not really close.
