No one's ever serious when they say "worst season," except for maybe the guy who started the whole thing. I'm actually serious about it this season. except it's best summer season up to date. Let me just count presented genres for you: shounen-ai (Dramatic Murder), bishonen (Bakumatsu Rock, Free!, Shonen Hollywood), romcom (Nozaki-kun), romantic drama (Glasslip), generic shonen (Hamatora S2, Sengoku Basara, Persona 4 S2), thriller (Tokyo Ghoul, Zankyo Terror), action (Tokyo ESP, Akame ga Kill, SAO 2), fanservice (Blade Dance, Himegoto, Rail Wars, Momo Kyun), mecha (Aldnoah.zero, Argevollen), shoujo (Ao Haru Ride), mahou shoujo (Sailor Moon Crystal, Majimoji, fate Illya S2), parody comedies (Space Dandy 2, Gundam san), school club activities (Sagabebu, Hanayamata, Jinsei), slice of life (Barakamon). I don't know how insane one might be who dislikes such valuable diversity, hehe.
I've put all my eggs into Tokyo ESP, Hanamonogatari if that counts and Majimoji Rurumo at this point in time.
I usually love crazy comedy / parody the most. Haven't seen Space Dandy 1 yet so I'd need that first. Gundam san sounds like something that is directed at people who watch Gundamn, which I don't
Anything that's light hearted with a little comedy works for me to the point that I can at least enjoy it, heck I even watched Kanojo ga flag wo oraretara last season...
Hamatora actually looked interesting but that's a s2 and I've have to check s1 out for that too. But all those shows are something that I'd enjoy somewhat but not more than that. Nothing that I'm really hyped for except for Hanamonogatari and that's a 5-episode thing...

I think the word you're looking for is subjective.

Are we really judging anime based on the number of genres it covers? Jinsui should've already explained why this is dumb.

fuck my life, youre right. Subjective.
Seppuku time boys.

It's Objective in a quantifiable way, though. Morevoer, when people complain about fanservice, they're generally not complaining about the fanservice itself, but the fact that pretty frequently if you took out the fanservice nothing would be left from some shows. Mecha shows that exist only to drive Gunpla sales, moe-moe shows to drive figurines and dvd sales, the list goes on.
A lot of my favourite shows have fanservice, but I've never been a fan of things that have nothing substantial otherwise.

If you don't want to lynch cora you should put your vote onto Forumite. I don't think Prplhz is a good lynch at all right now. On smashboards a lot of the mafia players have that handle before their names Coincidentally* they also tend to have anime women as their avatars, with a few exceptions *HBC, Hot Babes Club; I think not But I don't post on smashboards

Barakamon is fucking wonderful. In a season chock full of mediocre to unwatchable shows for me, it's definitely a wonderful bright spot.

I really dislike that kind of attitude in people tbh. What, did you miss the "for me" part right after you got done bolding? You dislike the attitude of not liking certain things? Does that mean you also dislike your own? Have you ever heard about snobbism? Maybe I am taking an overdefensive stance over here, but I just find it amusing people fond of genre which is all about appreciating every little thing in your life don't really follow the suit and claim everything that don't interest them as unwatchable junk in such manner.
You are being overdefensive, and a drama queen. Kibibit didn't call things "unwatchable junk". What was said was "This season is full of stuff that is mediocre or unwatchable to me." And hes allowed to have opinions, and even clarified that it was his own. And just because someone may like Iyashikei, doesn't mean they have to like everything they watch. And speaking of snobbish, you find that "amusing"?

Fanservice is also when you fan someone to cool them down after waiting in line in 35C/95F weather for 2+ hours.

I won't even try to criticize the show for it, it's just the same story as Bunny Drop for me- vivid, unlikeable, and antisociable boring main character with a retarded attitude paired with somewhat -realism-oriented-touch cute idealistic genki girl for whom he has father feelings, but she gets tiring very fast and generic neighbourly minor elderly supporting cast anywhere they go.
On the topic of the MC, the "retarded attitude" is refreshing and honestly rather realistic insofar as someone having anger issues. Anime anger issues are usually over the top, slapstick affairs, whereas even one episode in it's clear he has anger issues that he needs to get under control. It's a realistic flaw that's not regularly explored. Things like that are why I enjoy the genre; The slice of life genre tends to bring good characterization to the table. It has to, since SOL shows are often entirely character driven, so a SOL show with poor characters is a poor SOL show.
The kid (and the entire town) has a relatively unique accent to hear for a non-native speakers, Her lines are pretty well timed and the things she says comes out as genuinely childlike, rather than anime childlike.
This little rant didn't meant to be personal, just something desired to be taken into consideration next time.
Meh, I don't tend to take other people's opinion on a show when giving my own. I am still aware, though, that many of the anime out there are not going to be my cup of tea, the medium is too broad for that. This season is just chock full of those shows.

Barakamon had pretty neat animation for the fun scene. That's enough to keep me watching.

Watched a few more shows this season.
Sailor Moon: Its sailor moon.
Aldnoah Zero: How come the Kataprakts are spelled with Ks rather than Cs? Design wise, they looked okay. Setting seems okay so far, world is setup, I suppose next epsiode will make it apparent how good everything else is going to be. Been a while since I've seen a deadpan MC in one of these shows. Also has Sandman from Gravion, except now hes a dick.
Tokyo Ghouls:

Tokyo Ghoul 9/10: + Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler [About that intro] +Hey Jason you know your metal mask sucks even more than usual and how dare you are getting your ass owned by stupid girl once again. Don't you remember what your dear mother taught you, you useless piece of shit, huh?! Honestly, wasn't fond of direction and plot handling for first half of episode at all, but the second part is alone worth the praise. Touka is so much Noein it hurts, guro handled right is delicious. Sailor Moon Crystal 8/10: + Show Spoiler +Usagi's seiyu is doing a tremendous work, didn't expect it, hands up for her! Animation, coloring and scene direction are top-notch, direct manga adaptation at it's finest, OP and ED are crazy good, but god, how I hate this fucking cat! Tuxedo is a crappy retard dude, too. And I'd have to wait to for a course to see Venus and Uranus in action once again, right? Rail Wars 8/10: + Show Spoiler +Couldn't care less about visual approach, sub-par music and cheap, even broken sometimes, animation, stereotype stereotype characters, obnoxious fanservice and all that fansy stuff we usually tediously nitpick. I came here for delicous knowledge bombs drops and I left satisfied and hungry for more, after I was prepaired to instadrop the show after PV.
Sailor Moon: + Show Spoiler +wait a course? what do you mean? I want to see Sailor Mercury in action. I think she was my favourite back when I watched it as a kid lol. Good episode though I wish Usagi stops crying so much! lol. I guess that'll improve slowly after she becomes sailor moon. The cat isn't that bad, at least he's trying to guide her though I think he should've explained things a lot more.
Tokyo Ghoul: + Show Spoiler +so bloody lol. The concept is quite interesting though I wonder just what kind of approach they want to take with this. Well, I dunno, first part wasn't that bad lol. I mean, they presented the story and it seems like it'll be quite an interesting one. Will definitely be watching it 
Rail Wars! + Show Spoiler +This was actually pretty entertaining lol. A bit of fanservice but meh. So, I guess they'll be fighting crimes for the rest of the anime. Could get pretty good depending on what types of crimes and security needs arise. ya, lots of knowledge and info which is good. Music was ok, nothing special. Will definitely keep an eye on this one as well
Akame ga Kill: + Show Spoiler +can't believe they killed his friends :/ I guess it was the best way to make him join night raid and make him realize this how messed up the imperial capital is. This looks like it could be really good! lol. Can't wait to see what happens next. Hope they eventually get to that prime minister and in turn helps the citizens (you know they likely will lol) :D
