Wtf did I even watch? Was the season so bland that I have to go and check my MAL...?

Well, looks like it.

If I'm to stay strictly within the Winter season, I don't even have a favorite.

Tokyo Ghoul was quite the jumpy ride. When the episode focused on the characters from S1, it was quite interesting to watch. You know, the development and all. As soon as they tried to add in 44446444646546 characters either as the investigators or the Aogiri bunch, it became so boring. And not to mention the action. If the episode tried to be a full action one, it was so... not interesting. Honestly, at one point I thought that Wendy attacking the goddamn Celestial Globe was more amusing - and better animated! What are you doing, Pierrot? - than ghouls trying to take each other's heads. And after all the confusion, it looks like the director went full YOLO mode and instead of explaining at least some of the chaos, they went for ... an artistic ending? The scene with Kaneki walking was really pretty. At least something.

Then there's Aldnoah Zero which actually tried to be interesting throughout most of its run, but at the end, the writers went fuck logic and the result was terrible.

Durarara's new season was so disappointing. If you thought that FT had a low budget, you should check some of the new episodes. So terrible.

Death Parade! The savior of anime? It was really a great watch and something I really recommend everyone to check out. You won't be disappointed. Based Madhouse.

As for the leftovers from fall... Parasyte. I liked it when I marathoned - at that time - all 17 episodes, but after that, it went downhill imo. Idk if it's because I switched to a weekly schedule or the ending was really that bland.

Shigatsu. Again, marathoning ~18 episodes and then watching weekly; it was a great series imo. I liked the melodrama too, because that's not something you get often. As unnatural as it may seem at times, it's what made the series so emotional for me, so +1. The animation was awesome. Im cri.

Nanatsu no Taizai. It was fun. Idk what else to write. It was fun. ( ._.)

Yona. I don't even need to write how every close up of my-eyes-will-kill-you Yona gave me goosebumps. A briliant series with perfect pacing, character development and story.

As for the OP, Death Parade wins, without any question. Tokyo Ghoul gets the worst OP ever prize. I think they trolled us and switched the OP with ED, cuz otherwise, idk what they were thinking. I honestly don't remember much about EDs, so uh, idk.

Also, this season has a bit too many anime to watch. Like, uh, I'm a busy college student, stahp! So far, I've watched Plastic Memories and UBW, based on the first episode alone, I really recommend the former.
