Totally not good. Quality content should be never drowned in mediocrity.

Not good. It would only be good if all three were being drowned out by generic harems.

With next season really kicking off in about a week and a half, I guess it's time to figure out what I'll be watching:

Bungou Stray Dogs (2nd cour)
Drifters
Haikyuu S3 (YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH)
Trickster
Shuumatsu no Izetta
Days (leftover)

And I'll probably at least try a few other things because there is a lot coming next season that at least has a half decent synopsis. Keijo is sure to be absolutely awful, but I may let it fill the part of me still waiting for a new season of High School DxD and needs that ecchi fix without it being basically softcore hentai like a certain anime from this last season.

For next season, what I'm watching for sure is:

ClassicaLoid

Hibike! Euphonium S2 (Hope they don't fuck it up with my KumiRei ship)

Keijo

Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku

Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara S2

Shuumatsu no Izetta

Besides those, whatever random thing that catches my eye on Crunchyroll.

Due to her family being extremely poor, money is everything to her. That's why she wants to step into the world of "Keijo." "Keijo" is a type of gambling sport where girls stand on a small floating platform and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the platform into the water, but they are only allowed to use their butt or breasts to push the others off.

Despite his independence, however, he's yet to mature emotionally, and his problems continue to haunt him in his daily life. His relationship with his adoptive family is strained, and he has difficulties interacting with his fellow high school students. Meanwhile, his professional career has entered a slump. Burdened with the heavy expectations placed on him as the fifth to become pro in middle school, his wins and losses are fluctuating as his record and progression into the ranks begin to stagnate.

Acquainted with Rei are the three Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. Unlike Rei, they live happily in their modest home, which they warmly welcome Rei into as if he were one of their own. Despite his reservations about becoming too close to the family, he frequently visits, interacting with them and receiving the kind of care and affection he never quite had while under his foster home.

This is the story of Rei's triumphs and failures, relationships new and old, and his growth as a person.

 If your favourite anime of the season doesnt appear here, dont worry about it, its nothing personal.

Please direct any poll ideas you have to me through PM and ill add them to the weekly poll queue.

Special thanks to all the members that keep this thread active.

OPM reference if that wasn't clear.  

You guys must really hate anime, watching so few animes in the blockbuster season of the year.

Here are the animes I will definitely watch and have a minimal drop chance:


Brave Witches
Bubuki Buranki
Flip Flappers
Girlish Number
Haikyuu
Hibike Euphonium
Keijo
Long Riders
WIXOSS
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku
Takkyuu Musume
Show By Rock
Shuumatsu no Izetta
Shoushin Shoujo Matoi
Stella no Mahou
Vivid Strike
Working

Shorts:

Anitore XX
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara
Nobunaga no Shinobi
Okusama ga Seitokaichou
Teekyuu

Add to that about 10 other possible animes and we have ourselves a fucking crazy season.

Why though? There is something for everyone. This season we have not only one but TWO sports animes with girls. What more do you want?

I'm sure if you watch the first ep of each new anime you will find at least a couple of must watch animes.

Usually half of the episode is enough if you're an experienced watcher. Very few animes are the exception to this rule but you will hear about them in here anyway.

Wrong answer!

Perhaps... Or not... 

I am pretty sure I tried these a grand total of twenty one times in the past to no avail. Standard shounen fare or non edgy derp Seinen with low ecchi or moe dosage is near extinction as it is. No need to worsen problems.
