Just in case, I'll be using the "academic" interpretation of ratings for anime and movies. 1-2: Fail (don't even think about watching it) 3-4: Pass (slightly better than just sitting and staring at a wall. Just slightly) 5-7: Good (depending on the grading scale, this is either just watchable or quite watchable, but some serious flaws prevent giving it an excellent rating) 8-9: Excellent (no major flaws, there are strong positive aspects) 10: Excellent+ (almost perfect, it's hard to imagine how it could be better) Or is the issue something else?

My Hero Academia, Season 3 (Boku no Hero Academia)
A great season. Overall, it's the same as usual in this anime: superheroes, trials, attempts to analyze tactics, strategy, and the overall situation in the world. The downsides include a small number of "empty" episodes – when the screen shows almost exclusively conversations without any action. I like conversations, of course, but I prefer there to be something else besides them.
Oh, and that strange grape-like boy. This time, however, there was less of him... I think.
Otherwise, 9/10. I got hooked. I'm waiting for the fourth season.

Oh, and there's also that weird grape-loving kid.

Probably a self-insert by the author.

Oh, and there's also that weird grape-loving kid. This time, though, there was less of him... I think.

But at least there's Toga, who is just as bad.

That one is a little better; at least it doesn't fawn over everyone. And at first, I thought this behavior was related to her quirk (but now I'm not so sure).

And she isn't a midget either.

At first, I also thought that this behavior was related to her quirk (but I'm not so sure anymore).

In a way, that's true. If "quirk" means that she's a yandere.

"Your Name" (Kimi no Na wa)
It has humor and sadness... and a bit of absurdity. A beautiful story and a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, it's everything I love. Also, the behavior of the heroes seems quite realistic in many details. I can't recall any major drawbacks.
9.5/10

Killing Bites

Amazing
Nice artwork, lots of juicy scenes, a simple but not tiring plot, decent action scenes and… Funny references to the animal world. It’s just a pity that there is no second season and it probably won't be, which in itself is a crime against all of humanity.
Ecchi is the best genre, Japan banzai! Japan banzai!

Score: 6.82

SUUUUUUUCK MYYYYYYY DIIIIICK

Trinity Seven
There were some good moments, but the plot was somewhat boring and the narrative was weak. The main character gave off strong Kirito vibes (similar appearance, same voice actor), but overall he was more of a direct upgrade than a copy.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
This is what’s left from the previous season, which I already wrote about earlier in another thread. Due to a rather amusing coincidence, almost immediately after that, the quality of the series began to noticeably decline. The episodes became less interesting, there was a lack of content and it felt rushed. And closer to the end, two (!!) recap episodes and one filler episode were released. All this, of course, spoiled the overall impression, but still, on the whole, I liked the series.

Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen
Funny, engaging, well-developed and thoughtful; the episodes aren't dragged out and there is nothing superfluous in them. The quality also remained consistent throughout the entire season. In short, I liked it immediately and it didn't disappoint later on, which can't be said for the other titles.[/COLOR]

Gotoubun no Hanayome
A rare high-quality harem series, despite the peculiar premise. The ГГ is fine, the brides are too, although screen time wasn't distributed equally among all of them. With the exception of the fourth and fifth, I liked the others ~~equally.[/COLOR]

Yakusoku no Neverland
Budget Titans. A rather curious premise, but an unsuccessful pace dampened the interest and spoiled the overall impression. Again, over 12 episodes, I never developed an attachment to the characters, which is a notable minus given this kind of plot delivery.

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari
It was good at first, then it started to slide downhill little by little.
- Using the same plot elements over and over becomes tedious over time.
- All events are too centered on the ГГ, despite the fact that he "should" be one of four heroes. As a result, the setting is implemented too superficially and fails to generate interest.
- Glass is best girl.

Dororo
Entertaining, but not super gripping. Perhaps it will get more interesting in the second half, but I doubt it.

Mob Psycho 100 II
I liked it more when it was less shonen.

Ueno-san wa Bukiyou
Perfect for watching while eating.

Egao no Daika
I would like to say it's underrated, but that's no longer possible. The title held certain hopes and promised to be interesting, but in the end, it got tangled in its own lack of originality and felt rushed at the same time. Perhaps if they had chosen to explore all the themes over ~24 eps instead of 12, something quality would have come out, but as it is, no.

Domestic na Kanojo
I find such a concept interesting and at first it was actually quite good, but not because it was well-made, but simply because it was funny to observe all the absurdity caused by the fact that the characters weren't idealized as is usually the case, but were made realistically. In other words, own vile and inconsistent fools. But predictably, this impression didn't last until the end.

Girly Air Force
ГГ is mid, setting is undeveloped, action is very weak, pilot girls are boring.

Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka
I expected (for some reason) a lot, but got cringe and boredom. A somewhat cool mahou shoujo appeared only in the last episode and even then for about one and a half frames (unamused).

Well, it will probably be AOTS, I just hope I can find a version without the heresy in a couple of days.

It turned out to be a 3/10; I could barely force myself to finish watching it.

Spring

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2
The second half is a bit worse, but overall it's great. 9/10.
Kono Oto Tomare!
Surprisingly good, 8/10.
Isekai Quartet
Made me want to watch Youjo Senki and even rewatch Zero, 7/10.
One Punch Man 2nd Season
Except for a couple of funny scenes with the strongest superhero, there was nothing to watch. 4/10.
Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
A mediocre clone of Quintessential Quintuplets, the main cast is supposedly more interesting, but in the end, I liked it less, 5/10.
Kimetsu no Yaiba
A typical shonen, nothing remarkable, but I'm not dropping it yet.
Carole & Tuesday
1/10.
Kenja no Mago
There were some interesting moments, but overall it's dull, 4/10.
Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin
Dropped.
Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!?
The same thing throughout all the episodes + censorship, 3/10.
Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO
Seems watchable, I'm not dropping it yet, although I sometimes feel like it.
Strike Witches: 501 Butai Hasshin Shimasu!
7/10.
Choukadou Girl 1/6
The idea is cool + there were a few interesting moments, but it's just nothing special, 4/10.
Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma
Fun + great opening, but it could have been better, 6/10.
Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
Dropped.
Senryuu Shoujo
Dropped.
Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san
Dropped. I really liked it at the beginning, it was great, but it soon got boring.
Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
Dropped.
RobiHachi
Dropped.
Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki
Dropped.
Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine
Dropped. That feeling when you watch a title about baseball, but instead of baseball or at least a CGDCT, you watch a melodrama.
Namu Amida Butsu!: Rendai Utena
Dropped.
Fairy Gone
Dropped.
Joshikausei
Dropped.
Bakumatsu: Crisis
Dropped.
Shoumetsu Toshi
Dropped.

In general, what I've learned from this season is that if you're watching ongoing series, you shouldn't take a break for more than a week or two, otherwise you risk losing all interest in what you started. After playing Warcraft for the last few weeks, I just didn't feel like finishing half of what I started.
