Huh, so red heads won. What cool characters have there been in anime that sport red hair? The only one I can think of is Shana from Shakugan no Shana, and she was pretty cool...
As for my AotS, looks like it may go to Sangatsu again. It's just been so excellent yet again like the previous season. It manages to be so funny and charming while also being very deep and real with its topics. The last few episodes have been a real roller coaster ride of emotions. Watching the recent struggles with Hina have been saddening and painful to watch, I'm sure I've teared up at least a couple of times, and seeing Rei deal with it has not only been great, but feels very real as well. It's definitely not something that has a right way to resolve it, as his teacher explained. The show just feels... excellently done with its mix of comedy and light moments with the heavy. Really loving it, but... I need a follow up anime to pick myself up after watching.
...Which is what Blend S does. I wouldn't call it AotS material, but it's cute and fun, which is nice to watch and have a good laugh. It's fun to see Maika be unintentionally sadistic while the customers (and Dino) enjoy it. The other characters have their funny quirks, so it's fun overall.
And also, there's Netto Juu, which is just... such a sweet and cute anime. Moriko just acts so cute and funny while playing her game, especially in the beginning episodes when she meets Lily. Those 2 together in-game is a real joy to watch. Their other friends are really good and caring people as well, being supportive and understanding of each other. It makes it feel like you can meet some wonderful people online.
So yeah, I guess I'd rank it as:
Sangatsu 1st, Net-juu 2nd, and Blend S 3rd.
Dance my pretties!
