Still not cought up last season. Still finishing the last few animes. Good thing I have vacation next week. That should give me the time to finish those and fully concentrate on this season, which really is by far better.

I disagree with that notion.

Tokyo Ghoul and SAO II started below mediocre, Tokyo ESP bad, Akame ga Kiru dropped hard after episode 1. Only Zankyou no Terror and Barakamon seem to be stand out anime.

Last season had the excellent Mushishi Zoku Shou and other great ones like NGNL, Sidonia no Kishi S1, Ping Pong and Isshukan Friends while shows like Rettousei and Haikyuu!! are still running.

I think we need to give the current season more time before making an assessment either way. I absolutely loved NGNL and Sidonia no Kishi, but I also love Zankyou no Terror and Aldnoah.Zero this season. Majimori Rurumo and Barakamon are also very promising, and Tokyo Ghoul has 20 more episodes, and will most likely get much better.

But like I said, we probably won't be able to tell one way or another til the very end. This season could end up being a dud, or could be the second coming

forgot about Aldnoah - haven't started that one yet

yea, it's my intention to give these shows a fair chance, but from my experience most start out strong and become unremarkable quickly (like Akame)

what I wanted to say is, that in my opinion there were more great shows last season than there are promising ones this season
