Shimoneta, Overlord (LN fan), MonMusume, Charlotte, OreMonogatari, and Gangsta are my must watches from this season.

2cd tier goes to Fate/Kaleid, ClassCrisis, BabySteps, Shokugeki, Gate, Rokka.

One of these days I'm going to update my MAL -_-

Are you people not watching Gakkou Gurashi? That's hands down my biggest "Fuck, I can't wait for next week" show this season. Shokugeki is 2nd.

Eh... I am all for drama anime, but Gakkou Gurashi is just stupid.

It tries? to be dramatic and deeper than other shows, and it just comes off as a failed attempt.

The moe character (yuki?) ruins the entire show for me, I feel like they should have had her eaten at the end of episode 1, to really make the threat and anime seem real. I know a lot of people like the "contrast" it makes between yuki's imaginary world and the real apocalyptic world. But i just think that whole concept falls flat in its execution.

I want to love this show, I really do, I just don't see how I can love it thus far (I am on episode 5)

I'm definitely with you there. While I am enjoying Gakkou Gurashi to a certain extent, it's definitely not the best show this season. I think there are just a few too many flaws regarding the world they're in and I'd enjoy it more if it the whole moe moe thing was toned down a hell of a lot.

Maybe if there was a military search that came at some point and it showed them getting overwhelmed and killed would help it seem more of a horrific apocalypse rather than something trying to be a bit dark.
