Is this the SOTD (season of the decade)?
I can't remember a season that stacked with good shows in recent years. Can you guys? Usually I watch 2-3 shows but I will probably follow like 7.

Edit: https://myanimelist.net/anime/season. 6 shows that can crack 8.0+, including 4 that can aim for 8.5+, and even one that is so far at 9.0+ (those generally come down and don't remain in the top 10, but the first Steins Gate is well rated).

I don't care about the shit and only care about the good stuff, so to me a season is remember by the quantity of good stuff not how potentially bad the rest was.

If i had 5 amazing shows one season but 20 god-awful straight up 1/10s one season and 1 good show and 20 mediocre shows another season i'd still call the season with 5 amazing shows the better season even if on "average" it was worse
Because i just drop shitty shows so they don't really factor into my enjoyment

All this discussion seems so premature. How many "great" shows have fantastic opening weeks but then completely drop the ball and overstay its welcome?

True but for some shows we are already at the 3 episode mark. Aside from the garbage character designs, I have certainly enjoyed the first 3 episodes of the new LoGH.

I think my only other real problem with the new logh beyond the character designs is that i'm not too big a fan of switching side every episode, i prefered the more (imo) fluid back and forth of the original.

The sad part is that this adaption won't even get to something as early as + Show Spoiler +. This adaption will just never get to the truly juicy series and character defining moments.

Honestly I can't imagine new LOGH not doing two volumes of the novel + Show Spoiler +.

Looks like I'm the only one who rates a season based on how many shows I'm watching. This season is just same as usual for me even if there are so many sequels for me to watch since it's basically the same amount I usually do.

Fukushima wrote two tweets about the series' 14th episode on April 14. The first tweet thanks the episode's staff for their work and requested viewers continue to watch the show next week. The second tweet complimented the episode's unique ending sequence.

Both tweets have received comments ranging from disappointment in the episode's content to death threats towards the episode's director and writer. Others are posting a doctored image of Zero Two holding a pistol with the subtitle "Say Ahh!" and have threatened to kill the screenwriter's family. Other comments are calling for Fukushima to fire writer Hiroshi Seko or even going so far as to suggest Seko kill himself.

Some fans were angry enough about the episode's content to start a #Bitchigo hashtag to vent their frustrations and even stating that they wanted the character to die. The #Bitchigo hashtag was predominantly used by English-speaking viewers and the harassing messages towards Fukushima do not contain the hashtag, and are written in Japanese, Chinese, and English. Many of the comments seem to originate from throwaway accounts, possibly to avoid getting banned from Twitter.

Anime News Network has reached out to Trigger about the current harassment and will update this article if and when a comment is provided.

Well, if you always watch the same amount as you usually do, then perhaps you simply select the same amount of anime to watch, which renders how many shows you are watching as a measure of quality of a season somewhat pointless as you will always consistently rate a season the same as any other.
