Space Dandy 2: The first season was slow and became gradually better but the 2nd one is fabulous in all aspects.

Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus : Excleent compared ot the 2 previous seasons? it was to be expected since they were full of spoilers but I didn't expect it to be that good.

Rokujyouma: The plot is quite good for a series I thought would be a generic harem, many characters are endearing too.

Rurumo: Pretty much for the same reason as Rokujyouma excepted plot can be replaced by comedy.

Rokujyouma takes my vote here. It's fun and the background story has been pretty interesting, not to mention all the characters take their turn to get under the spotlight, which makes it a solid harem series.

This one is going to Nozaki-kun for me. It was completely off my radar because I thought it was going to be one of those school comedy shows that I usually can't get into. Heard so many good reviews about it and had to check it out, and much to my surprise it's a really fun watch.

Nozaki-kun didn't surprise me. Doga Kobo comedies are the best. I automatically watch new ones.

Nothing really surprised me this season. Everything I expected to like was good, everything I expected not to like was bad, and everything I expected to be in between met my expectations. Pretty unusual. There's always something I like more than I expected to. Abstaining, for now.

Rurumo was funnier than I had ever expected and so engrossing.

Rail Wars is engrossing too whenever it isnt focused on fanservice shots.
