What!? I'm the first to vote?

Fate/Apocrypha - So far it looks good... a lot of exposition in the first episode to tell the setup.

Brandish μ · Jul 3, 2017

Kakegurui (ep 1) for now

Zasz · Jul 3, 2017

Many series have yet to come, but the ones who came out during this weekend are definitely worthy of being voted:

Kakegurui
Fate/Apocrypha

I'll wait for the third title, because there are lots of other interesting series this season!

Sky · Jul 3, 2017

As this was the first day and I simply was too late, we will also allow nominations during this day. :nod

Kakegurui
Fate/Apocrypha (How can I hate this anime if they talk about my country?)

syx · Jul 3, 2017

Fate/Apocrypha
Kakegurui

Sky · Jul 3, 2017

Just Fate/Apocrypha as I haven't even found anything else.

Wowzers · Jul 4, 2017

I'm adding a couple of more selections since I've seen a few more.

Knights & Magic - I liked this! It's another reincarnation into another world story, but done well.
Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun - clean freak soccer?? He can tolerate being dirty for 5 minutes???

Kakegurui - Cutthroat janken. Reminds me a bit of Kaiji. Kaiji's consequences were much higher though.
Enmusubi no Youko-chan - Probably not going to like this...

Zasz · Jul 4, 2017

Dammit!
I don't know what my third option for this week should be!

Koi to Uso gave me so many feels that I'm still here trying to count them!
Aho Girl was simply hilarious and I hadn't laughed so much in a while!
Tsurezure Children is both adorable and funny, meaning that it gave me both feels and laugh!

Guess I'll make a compromise between the former and the latter and vote for Tsurezure Children!

Sky · Jul 4, 2017

@Zasz

It would be the first for the second week. Yesterday and Sunday were only for the first week as written in the first post. :nod

Oh! Then never mind!
I'll vote for all three of them:

Koi to Uso
Tsurezure Children
Aho Girl

For this week, I doubt anything will top them! :blush

Second week. ~Sky

Surprise end of week? :XD

I'm not sure why but I was convinced the week ended on Sunday. I even went back and checked the previous seasons and they ended on Saturdays too.

My Bad.

It appears we were both surprised. :kappa

Gomen Sky-sama! :blush

Even so, my votes will still go to the three series I posted just above. :kappa

Edit: Can I now vote for these? :kappa

Koi to Uso
Tsurezure Children
Aho Girl

Jammin · Jul 9, 2017

My first two choices are definitely going to be.

- Knight's & Magic

The first episode was very impressive. Talented by but mecha obsessed otaku reborn in an Escaflowne style world is a pretty cool concept. With quality that looked great.

- Isekai Shokudou

Seems kind of like if a character from Shokugeki no Soma grew up and took over a magical trandimesional restaurant. Serving like elves and dragons and stuff. Not sure how the rest of the show is going to turn out but the first episode was quite good.

-------------------------------

Going to wait for Fate/Apocrypha before making my last pick. It's going to be that or Boku no Hero Academia probably.

Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ · Jul 9, 2017

New Game!! EP 1

Really happy to see this back again.

Not much has changed when it comes to the characters.

Still very funny.

Looking forward to watching the rest of this season.

Knight's & Magic EP 1

I thought this was really good.

I'm not really into mech but magic I always seem to like.

I think I would love to be reincarnated into a world like that, especially if you get to keep your memories from a world like ours and with our technological advances, it's easy to see the advantage he has over everyone else.

Looking forward to this next episode.

Shoukoku no Altair EP 1

Feels a bit like Arslan Senki.

Wow, the eagle absolutely destroyed that thief's arm.

I really like this MC, smart kid who's action are based on what he believes in his heart is right.

And he is a pretty good fighter.

Honorable Mentions

Jikan no Shihaisha EP 1

Looks promising, I just wish I knew what was being said, 2 days and it's still raw.

Hina Logi: From Luck & Logic EP 3

That was pretty fun to watch.

Seen quite a few anime dad's that are a bit over the top like that but I always seem to enjoy the comedy that comes with them.

I hope that bear is alright.

Action Heroine Cheer Fruits EP 1

I actually enjoyed this.

I thought it was quite funny a time and I like those 2, they work well together.

I do feel a bit sorry for Mikan, she took a beating throughout this episode.

Sakura Quest EP 14

That new opening and ending are both pretty good.

I hope they enjoy the little vacation, I think they definitely deserve a break.

I wonder what plans Yoshino will have when she gets back?

Looking forward to the next episode.

Aho Girl EP 1

I have no idea what I just watched,

The comedy is kinda stupid but some of it was actually funny.

For some strange reason I feel as if I need to watch the the next episode because I want to know what's going to happen.

Battle Girl High School: Battle Girl Project EP 1

I was looking forward to watching this.

I thought it was pretty decent.

Looking forward to watching more.

Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun EP 1

Well that was definitely interesting.

Watching him trying to stay clean throughout the game until the last 5 minutes was funny at times.

I do know a neat freak like that.

I actually enjoyed this a bit, looking forward to the next episode.

Kakegurui EP 2

I am surprised by how much I actually enjoy this.

It has a very ruthless and cruel nature to it but the drama and suspense keep me glued to the screen and wanting to watch more.

Plus Jabami is just an awesome characters.

Re:Creators EP 14

I thought the new opening and ending were alright.

I'm really looking forward to see how the story turn out, it's going to be a lot of hard work, it's understandable that there will be a lot of tension in the work place.

Already found a new character, and looks like there is another 1 to come eventually.
