Out of fairness we go by date of subs. Last week was a special occasion. Usually Fate Apo is a sunday show for this league and would be eligible on the following voting day.

 

[syx]

• Boku no Hero Academia
  -> I see Best Jeanist, I vote for BnHA
  -> Gran Torino and Midoriya were hilarious
  
  Spoiler

  

• Made in Abyss
  -> a Tower of God HNG!-adventurous-spin-off
  -> Robot-kun
  
  Spoiler: Riko and the others are terrifying

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

• Kakegurui
  -> Because...
  
  Spoiler: Best line

  

Spoiler: Other series I watched

• Re Creators
  -> Re Creators is very good at being a hit or miss. This was a miss. There was way too much talking about things we already knew/figured out , especially in the first half. I also can't bring myself to feel interested in the non-Servant characters, and this episode barely featured any Servants. Good new OP though.

• Shoukoko no Altair
  -> It was better than expected, but still holds the potential to be dropped. I actually only watched it, because of my turkish roots. First bit was actually very lively. But when things got serious - very serious btw - I didn't feel any excitement due to the lax behaviour of the characters, and the way how the whole topic got resolved in the end was kinda weird. I will watch episode 2 before I decide whether to continue or drop it.

This weeks Selections:

Re:Creators - Metchin doesn't like being called Metchin! And who is this new girl that looks a bit like an older Mamika with a different eyecolor?
Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season - Great OP and ED's! It will take me some time to get used to them though.
Made in Abyss - Almost like a Miyazaki film.

Spoiler: Other ones I watched this week!

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???
Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou - Looks fun!
Koi to Uso - not bad for a romance story, but probably not for me.
Isekai Shokudou - Restaurant in the middle of the universe??
Tsuredure Children - only watched a few minutes. not for me.
Nanamaru Sanbatsu - Quiz club.
Konbini Kareshi - school life/slice of life/romance probably not for me.
18if - Waking up in a dreamworld
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul - Almost like an interlude episode
Shoukoku no Altair - What would happen if Turkey was the size of a continent and had an Arslan Senki feel to it?
Katsugeki Touken Ranbu - The time travelers are ... famous weapons?

I get the feeling Fate/Apocrypha will end up in the following week's tally a lot.

Spoiler: tough choices

Hmmmmmm..... This season is going to be tough.
Almost every week it'll be
Boku no Hero Academia
Re:Creators
Fate/Apocrypha

And how do we squeeze in:
Made in Abyss
Knights & Magic
Kakegurui
Shingeki no Bahamut
and any of the other possibilities? The only possibility would be if one of the top 3 has a bad week.

 

[Jammin]

My 3rd is going to be Made in Abyss as well

Absolutely gorgeous episode.

 

[Demonspeed]

Nominating Gamers!

 

[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. EP 1

Spoiler

What a lucky guy, he gets to adventure with twins and eventually a bunch of other girls.

He can use any magic and has great ability's that might make him near invincible.

Not to mention all the benefits he can get due to the knowledge he has which the current world he is in doesn't have.

I enjoyed this, very much looking forward to the next episode.

Knight's & Magic EP 2

Spoiler

Tough life he has, all the girls want him.

This guy is amazing to watch, I am really enjoying his work and the action in this anime.

The way he brought down that behemoth was very impressive.

Very much looking forward to the next episode.

Princess Principle EP 1

Spoiler

I really liked this.

Great action throughout.

The girls are pretty cool to watch are quite clever.

Ange is one hell of a liar, she kept saying no as she kept shooting him.

Very much looking forward to the next episode.

Honorable Mentions

Tenshi no 3P! EP 1

Spoiler

Just noticed this so I thought I would give it a watch, I thought it was very good.

That was funny when it went into a video game battle mode, escape selected

I just wish the song they sung was subtitled.

Pretty good loli rock band.

I will let you touch me a little... no thank you, I don't want to go to jail, nor does he.

I think I better start praying like he did a the end there lol.

Gamers! EP 1

Spoiler

Pretty good start to this series.

It looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch.

I can't believe he rejected her at the end.

Guilty Gear! Love that series.

Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shugi no Kyoushitse e EP 1

Spoiler

Pretty good so far, I am liking this a lot.

I had a feeling that the laziness of the students would come back to haunt them.

At least a few of them were smart enough to know better.

Aho Girl EP 2

Spoiler

Haha new opening, I hope it's different for every episode.

These characters are so stupid but they make me laugh a lot.

Kakegurui EP 3

Spoiler

Jabami is so savage at times, she is awesome to watch.

I wasn't expecting her to lose though, that was quite the surprise.

Either way I can't wait for her to interact more with the student council p[resident and eventually gamble with her.

Very much looking forward to the next episode.

Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu EP 3

Spoiler

Very good episode.

Nice to see that the team is now fully co-operating with each other.

Next episode should also be very good now that they are a team that's is gelling well together.

Centaur no Nayami EP 1

Spoiler

I thought this was pretty good.

I like how the class has all kinds of races in it.

Comedy was decent.

Looking forward to watching more.

 

[Jammin]

This weeks Selections:

Re:Creators - Selected this week because all our joking came true!
Fate/Apocrypha - WOW! So many introductions!
Boku no Hero Academia - Here comes Stain

Spoiler: Why can't I pick more?

Knights & Magic - MC hotwired a mecha and used it like a boss.
Made in Abyss - Sad that Rico's mother is dead... or is she?
Gamers! - I wasn't even going to watch this, but it's so good!
Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou - I'm enjoying this a lot! For those of you not watching it, pick it up!

I've been taking short notes after episodes.

Spoiler: notes

Sunday
Knights & Magic - Another good episode, but isn't it a little weird how he interfaced with the mecha?
Centaur no Nayami - Really cute story.
Princess Principal - hmmm... school girls as spys. They assassinate too. I'll give it another week.
Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun - Moka-chan: 'My feelings for Aoyama-kun have to stay a secret!' meanwhile, written on her t-shirt: "Aoyama 4 Live"
Kakegurui - What a mentally destablizing environment.
Fate/Apocrypha - WOW! Introductions and there are so many heavy hitters, like Vlad the Impaler, Frankenstein, Sparticus and Chiron. Surprisingly, Jean of Arc isn't on either side, she's a Ruler class and seems to be an opponent of both other teams.

Monday
Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou - This is one of those surprisingly good shows this season that won't end up getting votes due to the big 3.
Isekai Shokudou - Its not bad, but I get the feeling this will be the same every week.
Tenshi no 3P! - I wasn't actually going to watch this, but I did, and it wasn't bad. The girls are surprisingly skilled, but that hidden room in the church implys a sketchy history.

Tuesday
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni - the seasonal harem begins.
Aho Girl - I've got milk coming out of my nose.
Nanamaru Sanbatsu - quiz game is ok.


Wednesday
Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart - veeeery short at 3.5 minutes. probably would be better to watch them all at once.
Hajimete no Gal - have mixed feelings. like the main girl, but not the main guy.

Thursday
Gamers! - Surprisingly good start to a series I wasn't even going to watch. Added to my long list of shows for this season...

Friday
Made in Abyss - The Star Compass always points to the center of the planet... That's not magic, that's gravity!
18if - Getting creepier.
Jikan no Shihaisha - ok, but i'm not crazy over it.
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul - Is it just me or does the OP sound wierd and not match the video? The ED however I like a lot.
Shoukoku no Altair - It never ceases to amaze me when people take pride in being a dirtbag.


Saturday
Boku no Hero Academia - Let the fight begin!
Re:Creators - Yup! The new girl is a dating sim girl. with no powers. Just lots of horny accepting fans.
Katsugeki Touken Ranbu - ufotable's excellent video and audio work with a boring plot. dropped.

Spoiler: Oh, and the stuff from this season I've dropped

Dropped!

Katsugeki Touken Ranbu - ufotable's excellent video and audio work with a boring plot.
Konbini Kareshi
Enmusubi no Youko-chan
Koi to Uso
Tsuredure Children
Clione no Akari - Kind of depressing.

• Fate Apocrypha
  -> Good action, hilarious interactions, Modred <3

• Kakegurui
  -> Gosh, Yumeko for waifu! So savage and she doesn't give a single fuck!

• Re Creators
  -> some interesting convos, Meteora <3, Magane xD, that new chick <3

Spoiler: Other series I watched

• Boku no Hero Academia
  -> Good, but not good enough. The fact that I didn't like Iida in that arc also played its part.

• Made in Abyss
  -> Was good, too. The exposition was fine.

• Shoukoku no Altair
  -> Dropped. I saw it coming. Things just move way too fast for such sensitive situations. Not my cup of tea.
