i'd say this indicates a weak upcoming season, if there's so little agreement (though it's unfair to judge before a single episode has come out).
There aren't many shows i'm looking forward to this summer, though i am intrigued about UFOtable animating a series about sentient bishounen swords |

1.Welcome to the Ballroom 2.Dive!! 3.Ufotable Toulen ranbu Seeing no mentions of 2 of them breaks my heart. |

Love how everyone calls almost every new season weak before anything airs. We sure have been spoiled by AoT and MHA haven't we?

Yeah, and it's hard to tell what will be good before anything comes out. As long as there's 3 or 4 shows i enjoy during a particular season, that's enough for me. |

The top two from the Charapedia are my most anticipated too. Summer looks very bleak right now. I would not be surprised if in addition to 3 shows continuing from Spring, I only follow 2 new shows.
Summer looks weak. Tell me which new shows you think will be good. And it is not just AoT and MHA, Spring also gave us more Natsume, Eccentric Family and Saekano. We got a new P.A. Works show, KADO is refreshing and SukaSuka is a nice show. And by the way, I did not see everyone calling the current Spring season weak 3 months ago. And Summer seasons are traditionally weak. |

It's all about what you want, right? I'm sitting on Hell Girl, Kakegurui, New Game, Symphogear and Ballroom right now, plus two carryovers from spring and those Tylor shorts, which is already more titles than I watched in spring without having seen a single frame of summer animation. There's almost always a couple surprises so it wouldn't be strange if I hit 10 titles, which is a very strong season in my book.
People who think this is a weak lineup aren't living right. :p |

I predict this summer season will be the season we'll see multiple shows that will potentially sell 10K+ units per volume, and I'm banking on these 4 shows to be at the cutthroat competition:
- Owarimonogatari - Fate/Apocrypha - Senki Zesshō Symphogear AXZ - Katsugeki! Tōken Ranbu Of course there are wild cards like New Game S2 and any other new show that becomes surprise hit. |

THIS. I have 16 (YES, 16!!!) new shows I'm gonna pick up right at the summer start, along with Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul as a carryover. Will I stick with them all?...well according to how this season went I'll end up dropping half of them...but the potential is there for standout shows to be missed, so I always give each show I'm even somewhat interested in a chance. So far my top three are: 1. Saiyuki Reload Blast (I cannot wait for more Sanzo, argggg!!!) 2. Welcome to the Ballroom 3. Restaurant to Another World But I'm also looking forward to giving Dive!!, Fate/Aprocrypha, Gamers!!, Project Altair, Youkai Apartment, and Katsugeki Touken Ranbu their time too, among so many others! I can't wait for summer to start!!!! Gotta hurry and finish the rest of Haikyuu!! now! |

Weak summer season? Excuse me?!
With Ballroom e Youkoso, A Centaur's Life and Youkai Apato in the roster? This is the best summer season I've seen since I can remember! |

Well, just looking at it as far as what the broader fandom is interested in, I DO think Summer looks a little on the weaker side. I realize this is a complaint we hear every damn season, but that doesn't mean it automatically has no merit. People throw it around without doing any research all the time, but that's their own fault. I'm following this stuff pretty consistently and closely and there is nothing here that warrants much broader fandom hype outside of a few minor things. The most hype I've seen is for Kakegurui which is going to be destroyed by Netflix, Fate Apocrypha, which is going to be destroyed by Netflix(weird, is there an echo in here?), and the particular type of people who like things like DIVE and Welcome to the Ballroom are pretty excited for those two. Otherwise, the long time dedicated Monogatari fandom(me!) is getting more of that... and that's literally it, as far as I can tell. Everything else has potential. That's ALWAYS the case, but there is nothing else that looks like it has a large notable fanbase really excited for it. New Game has niche popularity of course, but that's not going to be a huge western hit if the first season is any indication.
But yeah, I think with two of the biggest Western hyped shows being on Netflix, we'll be in for a Summer a little on the quieter side. I'll be very thrilled if something is a surprise hit though. We do get one of those often enough for it to be worth keeping in mind. But looking at things now, I'm not seeing anything that stands out as that show at this point. |

I'm definitely on the side of summer looking relatively light right now. I've pushed back on such perennial sentiment before and I'll have to see the shows before I make any definitive statement either way, but there aren't a huge number that stick out (that won't be taken by Netflix in two cases). It probably doesn't help that it is sitting between two seasons with highly anticipated titles and that it is relatively light on sequels. I'll probably find about as many shows to watch (20-30 new shows) but it probably won't be my heaviest season. Not to say that there aren't worthwhile titles (Owari and New Game being the TV series not picked up by Netflix that I chose for the poll). Though given the discussion of UBW, I don't know that a lack of coverage as Apocrypha airs is necessarily a bad thing.

Do we start the "is Castlevania an anime" debate here or do we wait for another thread?
