so i don't know if you guys have been keeping up but this season has been a hell of a ride so far. i guess i'll talk a little about the shows i've been watching. i'll use vague language to mask spoilers, i recommend you guys use spoiler tags if you're talking about something specific
attack on titan was fantastic until the trost arc started. the pacing just completely slowed down and the animation has gotten worse too. however i can't judge a series based off a few episodes, and as a whole attack on titan has been magnificent so far. the next episode will resolve this first arc (it's a 2 cour so episode 14 will be a recap which i hate because every episode has a minimum of one minute of recap anyway)
hataraku maou-sama! suffers from the same problem that kokoro connect did - resolution within one arc and sloppy plot afterwards. the first arc was fantastic, i think the series is one of the best in terms of executing humour. it's incredibly well polished but unfortunately it's hit a dip in terms of ideas to forward the plot with. the interaction between the characters are hilarious, if a bit forced
yahari ore blahblahblah romcom snafu (oregairu), or as i like to call it, 'there's no way my little slice of life anime can be this good' has been the standout this season. slice of life is normally a bit dry but oregairu is so ridiculously well presented that it made me reconsider all of my preconceptions about the genre. the praise usually given is that it's real and i can't disagree. it's so real that it can take liberties with humour and tropes without detracting from its overall quality. my only complaints would be an imperfect adaptation (a lot of plot lines ended up going nowhere but i guess 'filler' is a necessity when your source material is not too far ahead)

photo kano is a steaming pile of shit and i don't know what i was expecting
