But I feel a bit of a change is in order to keep things fresh. So Instead of me sharing my 5 top shows. I'm changing things to the following format for now. And if you guys and girls like it I'll stick to it.
The new format is going to be only 3 anime, my Fave anime, the underdog anime, and the worst anime. I'll still share my thoughts on the remaining shows though. Without further ado.
My Fave :
Happy Sugar Life

AniDB : https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=13944
Thoughts : I know a lot of people won't agree with me here, it was a tough choice for me between Happy Sugar Life, Harukana Receive and Angolmois, and even though I love sports and fanservice, and Angolmois was pretty epic at times. Happy Sugar Life is the kind of anime that sticks with you for a long time, some might say that the show feels broken at times, but for me it fits perfectly with the characters and theme.
The Underdog:
High Score Girl
Synopsis : 1991. The year of the Gulf War. The year Mount Unzen erupted. The year the Ten-Day War in Slovenia broke out. The year the world wavered.
Yaguchi Haruo, a 6th grader, is not only the least popular in his school, but also has the worst grades, a bad attitude towards others, and cannot be called attractive either. The only thing he lives for are video games, and this happens to be the only thing he is really good at. Until one day, he plays Street Fighter II against Oono Akira, a well-off female classmate, who proves to him that she is not only more popular, intelligent, attractive, and lucky than he is, but also... better than him at playing video games!
Haruo's small world wavers.
Thoughts : Another hard choice for me as both High Score Girl and Frakenstein's Family were pretty surprising, but Frakenstein's Family had quite a few problems,,though it's pretty good for a chinese anime. High Score Girl is great both for people wanting to learn a bit of gaming history and older gamers who will experience a lot of nostalgia. That aside though the show has pretty interesting characters and a lot of funny and adorable moments. Just a shame I have to wait till 2019 to see the conclusion..
The Worst :
Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria
Synopsis : Some urban legends are best left untested! Suou Yuuto gets more than he bargained for when he joins his childhood friend Shimoya Mitsuki in testing out an urban legend. When he uses his phone to take a picture of himself with the local shrine's divine mirror, he is whisked off into another world - one heavily steeped in the lore of the old Norse myths. Using his knowledge gained from school and from his solar-powered smartphone, he has the chance to bring the Wolf Clan, the same people who cared for him, to prominence, all while earning the adoration of a group of magic-wielding warrior maidens known as the Einherjar.
Thoughts : If ever people needed a sign to know that the isekai genre's popularity is coming to and end, and it needs to be put on the backburner for now. This utter mess would be it. Filled with plot holes, a terrible MC even by harem standards and a spectacularly failure of an ending makes this the worst anime I saw from Summer..
And now for the Rest.
Jashin-chan Dropkick : A low effort slapstick comedy with a few good jokes and skits but ultimately forgettable
Sirius the Jaeger : This was actually a pretty decent fantasy action anime that should keep you happy if you want to see some vampire busting action.
Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight : I absolutely loved the Utena vibes this anime gave me, luckily it didn't drag on too long and it came to a great end.
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san : If you want some enjoyable fanservice, this anime will have you smiling. Luckily this Harem MC was actually pretty good.
Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro : TONS of laughs from this comedy anime. Was actually a bit skeptical at first but I really enjoyed it. Also nice touch with the ending of the last episode, with the fake "next episode skit"
Yama no Susume S3 : As much as I loved the previous seasons of Yama no susume, I do feel the drama was put on a bit thick this season.
Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi : What a nice surprise from the Shoujo genre, our protagonist wasn't a useless girl being protected for no reason by some pretty boys. Aoi is a pretty well written character and I do suggest you try this anime.
Sunohara-sou no Kanrinrin-san : God Damn Lucky Kid, is what you'll be thinking for most of this anime, the "neesan" appeal in this anime is strong!
Major 2nd : It took me a while to get into the second generation of Major, but I eventually got hooked on it, curious to see if there will be more.
Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu : Not a fantastic isekai genre anime, but a heck of a lot better than Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria
Hataraku Saibou : Adorable, educational, violent and funny. The perfect way to learn about the human body.
Hanebado! : As much as I love sports anime, especially well animated ones like Hanebado, I can't help but feel that Ayano, the protagonist, was bringing it down with her mommy issues. At least the wrap up at the end of the anime was well done.
Grand Blue : Goddamn those students can drink, how do their livers survive it? Have to say Grand Blue was a lot of fun and I did enjoy the Opening theme quite a bit.
Overlord III : We finally get to see how strong Ains can be...or a part of his power at least.
Steins Gate 0 : I'm glad they made a sequel to Stein's Gate, and I'm even happier it was a decent sequel
Angolmois - Genkou Kassenki : An anime I enjoyed a lot, mostly due to the characters and the setting, but weirdly it seems not many watched it
Planet With : Some say it's the Gurren Lagann of the 2010s, I say it's a pretty cool scifi anime once you get into it.
Harukana Receive : BEACH VOLLEYBALL, BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED BEACH VOLLEYBALL also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTCL5fE4RSI
Shichisei no Subaru : This anime started off essentially as Anohana Online...just don't expect any real resolution in the first season.
That about wraps it up for me, and yes as you've guessed. I didn't cover any anime that's still continuation or airing. OR anything I didn't watch. But what are your thoughts on the summer 2018 Anime season?
