At least 2 eps for all shows, my overall feelings towards each show I'm watching this season. (3=Moderately to Strongly Flawed, 4= Below Average, 5= Average, 6 =Above Average, 7=Good. My current average is 4.70 with 900 animes to keep in mind with the scores )
Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season: I've given up any hope that Bones or the director would see the error of their ways and change this series's beyond horrendous background art, seriously who the hell approved it! Ignoring that...MHA S3 like the previous two seasons before it is an adequate adaption that tends to have boring storybording when the director is in control. On another note man that OP is really shitty from a directorial standpoint; as someone else has mentioned it feels like at the 11th hour the production committee changed the song for the OP, and they were forced to attempt to piece together what they had to try to make it work with the new song. (4.5/10, Not Dropped)
Megalo Box: Good on the director convincing the committee to make it a spiritual successor to Joe and not a sequel; shame on him for thinking that making it 480pesq would give it that "older" feel and ruining the background art. Putting that aside, I'm quite enjoying my time with Megalo Box between both the action and the downtime. (6.5/10, Not Dropped)
Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory: I don't think any of us really expected this production to be one of standouts of the season but Xebec and the director pulled it off. Outside the car scene (cars are forever doomed in CG in anime), I have nothing but praise for the storybording and subtle touches shown when creating this show. While I don't expect it to hold its current level of storybording quality, if it can at least stay somewhat near this level of quality throughout its run I will be thrilled. (7.5/10, Not Dropped)
Hinamatsuri: The manga adaption I feared for the most this season should of been the least feared for. Both feel. and the director are doing the manga right in capturing the odd spirit that is Hinamatsuri; while a few jokes are botched due to comedic timing, as a whole it has been more hit then miss in this adaption. (6.5/10, Not Dropped)
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: Where's my animation in my anime? Where's my backgrounds in my anime? Seriously why is there more animation in the 1.5 minutes that is the opening then there is in the two episodes combined? Yes, a rom-com can get away with less animation then say an action series, but this is some 3 minute short level of animation. Stick with the manga which is charming and funny with the same amount as animation as this adaption. (4/10, Dropped)
Amanchu! Advance: Whoop, Whoop, Whoop! (5.5/10, Not Dropped)
Hisone to Maso-tan: In Okada we trust to give us an actual good Bones anime this season....with dragon vore. (7/10, Not Dropped)
Golden Kamuy: I've already said enough about GK's adaptation prior that I don't feel like retreading said points. Adaption falls straight on its face whenever it comes to action scenes, the only consultation prize is it not fucking up the comedy scenes alongside the action ones. Just read the manga, I'm only sticking on this ride to see how long until the wheels completely fall off said production. (3.75/10, Not Dropped)
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby: The surprise of the season? Maybe....just maybe. (6/10, Not dropped)
Mahou Shoujo Ore: Comedy generally falls flat, animation almost always falls flat and the OP is horrible. I have better things to do then waste more time on this show, like wasting it on slightly worse or better shows. (3/10, Dropped)
Gegege no Kitarou (2018): Another decade has passed so Toei has revived Gegege once again! 2018's version of the classic youkai manga is a nice re imaging of the series for today's high tech focused world. The anime is generally fun and can be quite horrifying in a child acceptable way; though the animation can be lacking sometimes the background art tends to stay on point to make up for the sometimes-weaker animation. Also, Cat-Neesan. (5/10, Not Dropped)
Nobunaga no Shinobi: Anegawa Ishiyama-hen: 2 episodes in and Chidori is back to her old ways of decapitating enough faceless grunts to feel at home in a Musou game. (5/10, Not Dropped)
Fumikiri Jikan: An inoffensive 3-minute short that may get a chuckle out of you once. (3/10, Not Dropped)
Uchuu Senkan Tiramisù: A mecha space parody that's quite hit or miss with its comedy, space dog was a hit though. (3.5/10, Not Dropped)
Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari: Possibly the other biggest surprise of the season for a show I assumed was going to be utter trash. How well it is able to evolve from its current gacha focused comedy will make it or break it. (4.5/10, Not Dropped)
Gurazeni: Interesting premise that while not particularly great sounding, seems like an interesting change of pace compared to most sports anime. Sadly, the show has been very hit and miss as a whole and is plagued by some hideous CG that is included in the OP for reasons I can't understand. (3.5/10, Not Dropped)
Tachibanakan Triangle: Irredeemable Shit (1/10, Not Dropped because I hate myself)
