I'm watching Maid Dragon, Konosuba, Gabriel Dropout, Tanya The Evil, Interviews with Monster Girls, and Little Witch Academia. I'd say Konosuba is best of season easily.

I'm enjoying Maidragon, but I could barely sit through a single episode of both Tanya and Scum's Wish, to add another meaningless anecdote to the pile.

My turn! Maid Dragon: What everyone else said. It's charming, funny, and genuinely sweet. Probably my favorite this season - at least of the shows I'm watching week by week! Kuzu no Honkai/Scum's Wish: Teenagers are bad at emotions, and this show makes for a delightful watch as they're just...bad at being mature about things. Plus the evil teacher. I'm enjoying it for the melodrama, and I do hope everyone comes out alive and able to heal. There's other stuff I want to watch when it's all over - Rakugo, ACCA, Tanya the Evil, etc - but those are the only two I'm making time to watch as they air. I also tried Gabriel Dropout and Interviews with Monster Girls, but both shows left me cold.  Last mention: Yowamushi Pedals: I'm coming for you, season three. Busy with watching the first season now thanks to my friend egging me on, and it's really sweet! Not Haikyuu level, but the character development is charming and I'm having a good time with it!

What I'm watching now hasn't changed from what I expected to watch at the outset, other than me liking Maid Dragon more than I expected. March comes in like a lion and Rakugo S2 are immaculate. Maid Dragon and Demi-chan are both funny and feel good, with Maid Dragon in particular being impressive for its usual KyoAni attention to detail. Gundam IBO S2 is a solid war/political intrigue story. I dunno if die hard Gundam fans hate it or whatever but as someone who has bounced hard off of most Gundam shows over the years I think it's pretty good. I'm pretty lukewarm on LWA and Konosuba but I'll see them through to the end.

I am thrilled to hear it's still good - I enjoyed the first twelve eps of IBO and then wandered off, with plans to marathon all of it when it's done, so I've been avoiding its threads to avoid spoilers.

My Trip Report so Far: Maid Dragon - Feels like another gimmick slice of life comedy. Its cute and can be funny at times, but isn't exactly introducing anything new, other than the heroine being a programmer instead of a clueless male. Konosuba - Characters are expressive as ever, this season suffers from running-down some well worn jokes like Darkness being a masochist. Still the best show of the season. Tanya - I was skeptical of another magical girl world war anime, but was pleasantly surprised by the dark and adult overtones and not actually being a magical girl story. It's similar to GATE in the sense that it's all about setting up a conflict and then the MC's side absolutely destroying the opposition. Fuka - eh, everyone kept mentioning this was going to hit me right in the feels, but it's been so passive that I really can't enjoy any of the characters. Masamune - Good popcorn highschool Rom-Com that doesn't really tread new ground but is entertaining week after week. Interviews with Monster Girls - interesting take in that it's about a dad-like figure trying to figure out the personalities of three different girls with a supernatural element attached. Not the most entertaining, but still unique. Definitely not like that other Monster-Girls show. All in all a good season for me, last season was a massive dearth of original animes with interesting stories. Could also be because I dislike sports animes as much as I disliked Nickelodeon sports movies growing up.

I normally wait for the season to be over and watch whatever people recommend or has good reviews. I am only watching Handshakers so far. I like it a lot and wished more people gave this gem a chance.

Best: ACCA Very entertaining: Konosuba S2, Maiddragon, Tanya the Evil Endearingly absurd: Kemono Friends, Sengokuchojyugiga, Ai-Mai-Mi Should probably drop these to watch backlog shows but might as well finish now: Gabriel Dropout, Interviews with Monster Girls Going to binge later: IBO S2, March Lion, Rakugo I'm watching way more than I expected. Kemono Friends grew on me. It feels like a short anime stretched into a full length show in a way that manages to be relaxing instead of boring. I only started it because of the Twitter hype though.

In no particular order: Little Witch Academia: This is the one I was looking forward to the most, and so far I was right to do so. Maidragon: I went into this with high expectations because I was a fan of the manga, and it ended up exceeding them. It still has the spirit of the gag manga it was based off of while nicely adding the 'happy family' element. Tanya: A nice deviation from all of the sweet shows I've been watching this season. Tanya's a little bastard and it's a real blast watching her act like one. Demi-chan: Like Maidragon, this show is engaging and heartwarming with characters that I enjoy. Nobunaga no Shinobi: Still good. I've fallen behind on Gabriel Dropout & dropped Urara. Both of them are alright, but they're competing for time with shows I'm really enjoying. Based on what people here are saying, I might pick up ACCA. There's a little voice in my head telling me to watch Kemono Friends, and it's getting louder.

If you want another "so bad it's hilarious", check out Divine Gate - it has a main character who prefers to eat cold food because his heart is cold, amongst other nonsensical things. ...Alternatively, watch actually good shows! They're worth it!

In order because order is important. Dragon Maid - SLICE OF LIFE do nothing show ft MODERN FANTASY and SALARYMAN ENNUI. Quite charming. This was always going to be my favorite show. Interviews with Demi-chan - Very cute show that manages to reframe a few pretty terrible anime conventions into something endearing. My favorite of the season. Tanya - Bizarre and fun uncomfortable concept with incredible main character. Favorite show of the season. ACCA - Very original show to the point of being almost indescribable. Favorite show airing right now. Kemono Friends - Insanely comfortable show. Started watching for no good reason and was just mesmerized. Favorite current thing right now. Scum's Wish - Very difficult show to start but has been really fun after getting over the hump. Or lack of? Terrific main character that carries a lot of weight. Of the shows airing this one is my favorite. Little Witch Academia - Nice and cute and cute and nice. Nicely my favorite. Gab Drop - Stupid hikki angel moe fun poo poo, favorite. Konasuba 2 - Eh. It's good. Sometimes the faces get under my skin, most of the time I like them a lot. Seiren - Hasn't been anywhere as good as Amagami SS but still pretty okay. Wouldn't it be neat if this concept was done without using the same boring MC over and over? Like, what if they just told good stories? Yowamushi Pedal - Coasting on how good last season was currently but I'm sure it'll get gooder. Masamune - Trash show but has fun with a neat concept. If this season were weaker I'd probably watch this more. BanG! - Only seen first two eps but has good vibe and I wanna watch more. I don't know where I'd put March Comes In Like A Lion. The current arc it's in is actually pretty uninteresting. I mean, it is interesting. It is definitely interesting. But compared to last cour, it is much more tame. I've cooled on it quite a bit. Might be related to the much worse OP.

I'm also continuing to watch Classicaloid here and there, which remains stupid and fun, and Nanbaka, which is mostly just stupid. I'll also probably also start up Rakugo S2 soon since I've been watching the (excellent) first season of that here and there and am almost finished.

Oh are we doing this? Unlike last season I am not watching a lot. Much less caught my eye and even fewer got my interest to keep watching. Which is fine because free time is not exactly something I have a lot of. Best ACCA Really good March Comes in Like a Lion Little Witch Academia Good Gabriel Dropout Also slowly watching the second seasons of Cute High and Conrevo, both of which I'm really enjoying.

Is ACCA actually good? It's got the most generic pitch in its description and nothing about it seems to stand out at all.quote:The kingdom of Dowa, which is subdivided into 13 states, is celebrating its monarch's 99th birthday. These 13 states have many agencies that are controlled by the giant organization known as ACCA. Within ACCA, Jean Otus is the second-in-command of the inspection agency. His agency has ten people placed in each of the 13 states, with a central office in the capital city. They keep track of all the activities of ACCA across the kingdom, and keep data on each state's ACCA office flowing toward the central office. Jean also often has business trips from the capital to the other districts to check on the situation and personnel there. Like I don't think anyone could write a less enticing description. Why would you say it's worth checking out?

Please check it out if you like bureaucracy, cakes, food, regionalism, low-key political drama, excellent foreshadowing, old men, young men, older women, princes voiced by Mamoru Miyano, landlords, people discovering toast, New Years parties, cigarette smokers, high taxes on cigarettes, or people who go to work only to eat snacks.

It's subtle, colourful, and the background plot that gets introduced is engaging and skillfully keeps you interested to look forward to the next episode, and the food looks yummy. There's just something smart and well grounded about the series and everything happens at a very measured pace, you barely the passage of time.

That description is more of a background exposition than actual description of what the show is. It's very deliberately paced. I'd say that's the biggest strength. The characters are also just likable. Honestly just watch the first episode. Either it'll click or it won't.
