Best of the season has to be Grimgar and Ajin for me.

Spoiler for details:

Grimgar is just beautiful in every aspect. I love the art, the pacing and the story and I think it's an anime that demonstrates how important and different an adaptation can get if you have a good team behind it. I'm sure I wouldn't feel as attached to the show as I am if it had gotten the typical fast-forward LN treatment. The anime shines because of how all the little details just work (Yes, I love the insert songs.)

Ajin has my favorite type of stories so that's it. The CG is not very good (at least not as in other full CG anime) but it's not getting in my way to enjoy the show not even a little., the story is that intruging.

Other really good shows are continuations from last cour/2nd seasons: Ass class, Tekketsu, Haikyuu and Utaware.

Spoiler for details:

Ass class and Haikyuu keep the same quality as their previous season, both are wonderful shows.

I had mixed feelings about Tekketsu at first since the plot wasn't developing as much to keep me interested but I must admit the f(m)anservice got me hooked and from 8-10ep onward I started to truly like the show (and mostly the characters, which has been the main focus so far after all).

I never watched Utaware s1 but wow I really got into s2. I hardly like SoL shows unless the characters and/or the comedy is VERY good, and this is one of those shows. Now that they are switching to the serious stuff the franchise is known for I feel really confused but I'm very aware it's my own fault for not watching s1, so that's one thing I'll do soon.

Other stuff I'm liking so far would be Bubuki Buranki, Nijiiro Days, Konosuba, Bokumachi, Dagashi Kashi, Koyomimonogatari, World Trigger.

Spoiler for details:

I've explained why I like these shows in their own threads and I want to keep this post as short as possible so I won't say much. Only thing worth mentioning is that I love the Bokumachi manga but anime is not working for me because of The Little Things (voice acting, some artistic decisions, pace) but it's still a wonderful story I would recommend to anyone. I just picked World Trigger again last Saturday because they ended the filler arc and are back to the source material.

Has enough chances to possibly get dropped soon are Haruchika, Prince of Stride, Kouya, norn9, Sekkou Boys, Dimension W, Rakugo.

Spoiler for details:

Ok no, I won't drop Rakugo! but I'm not enjoying it as much as I would have liked to. The unique story is wonderful and I'm really glad we are getting something like this adapted, but something feels lacking to me but I'm not quite sure what is it yet. Dimension W is another show that makes me sad I don't like it more because it's visually great (LOVE the color pallete) and Mira is just adorable, but it's a bit too episodic-y for me to care. The main plot isn't as present as I would like it to be.

Stuff I'll pick later once it's over: Durarara.

Spoiler for details:

I love DRR with all my soul but I want to watch it all at once. I'll wait for the cour to be over and enjoy all 5 cours + extras together

Overall it's an ok season I guess? I doubt anything will get as good as Ajin and Grimgar already are, but I would say Bubuki Buranki (and well, DRR) has the most potential to get really great.
