I also watch season 1 and 2 of Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront). The first episode got me hooked, I have never heard of the anime before and not many people really talk about it. So after the first episode I was surprised. I preferred the first season as it focused on the characters I care about most like Klaus and Zapp. Klaus being the BA and Zapp is one of the most hilarious characters. However I was hoping for a more confined season, so 2 straight seasons of episodic nature made it difficult for me to marathon it. The 2nd season had more variation in its episodes focusing on many characters. Either way I was big fan of this show's atmosphere, an urban battlefield with aliens, monsters, and super humans. The OP songs and the ED songs were all pretty decent that I listened to them, however the actual OST takes the gold medal in the music department, especially the song below.

I thought both seasons were really well done, and the characters and humor were really contagious. It's a pretty cool setting, really abstract and weird but a ton of fun too. Dunno what the western fanbase thinks of it, but I read it was pretty popular in Japan, apparently season 1 had really good DVD/BR sales.

I was disappointed that Beyond (S2) was basically just autoconclusive stories with no semblance of a main plot anymore. I actually really liked White's story in season 1...though apparently that was anime-original. Makes me wonder if the actual manga is a random comedy that BONES tried to sneak a story into.

Have you watched Bungo Stray Dogs? It's not nearly as random, but the absurdist super-team and plot-setup reminded me a lot of Kekkai. 

Yes and Beyond was rated higher on myanimelist, which I didn't understand. But I suppose it dropped a lot of watchers and only fans continued to watch it.

I watched season 1 of Bungo Stray Dogs, might be awhile until I see Season 2. Though you already told me it gets even better :).

The Ancient Magus' Bride is likely next or Violet Evergarden.
