This was the season of which I watched the most anime, though it weren't that many, and the first one I could follow after signing Crunchyroll so I'm glad I can say that I really liked it. So, moving forward, this may get a bit long:

>> First of all, Best Series goes to:


 * Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko! If someone told me the best anime of the season was ERASED or Rakugo I surelly wouldn't deny it. Those are indeed great anime and I would probably choose one of them if it wasn't for this short. I'm not one to cry, especially over fiction (Koe no Katachi came the closest and it was only a few tears), the last time I had actually cried was over something that took four years of set-up. But for some reason, after watching the four episodes of this in quick sucession, only about 25 minutes, I was crying and sobbing like a little kid. I can't explain it, this anime hits you deep inside. The atmosphere, the narrative, you actually feel empathy for the cat, you feel the deep conection between the characters, I loved everything about this.It instantly became one of my favorites.

>> Now on the others:


 * Boku Dake ga Inai Machi: I enjoyed this one very much and it does deserve to be one of the top contenders for best of the anime of the season. As with Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko, I like any anime that can actually make me feel strong emotion and BokuMachi actually suceeded in the scene when Satoru finds Kayo in the shelter. I actually felt bad deep inside while watching that scene, and that was the point were I was hooked, and because of it I went straight to the manga as I couldn't wait for it every week. The portrayal of the characters and themes were good and the cuts they made to some manga content didn't really make any negative impact except towards the end. The ending was rushed and inferior to the manga's (that wasn't exactly great either) but it wasn't really bad IMO. Definetly recomended.


 * Showa Genroku Rakugou Shinjuu: This one is a strange case. It's really great, the premisse, the dialogues, the narrative, the soundtrack, but for some reason it didn't get me as hooked as it should, I liked it but I was never very anxious for the next chapter, except toward the end when it gets even more interesting. It's nice because of it's slower pace and if you like japanese culture you should try it.


 * Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo: I don't think I could put it better than Ultra. Though it isn't really memorable, it's definetly funny (though not always), the characters are likeable and it makes you want for more and it's not suposed to be taken seriously. The only thing that I can say that I didn't like, though it was smehow funny at some points, was the quirks of Darkness (not going to start the genre discussion). If you want something to kill time laughing maybe you could try this.


 * Digimon Adventure Tri: Ketsui: I don't know. Digimon Adventure is one of my favourite animes but this sequel isn't really interesting me as I thought it should. I'm stil trying to understand the main point of this. I did like Joe's conflicts but the conclusion to it felt rushed, I'm not liking what they're doing with Tai's character and they even used the most tired running gag of the series to no impact at all. Not even the digimon action is intersting me. I'll keep watching it but my expectations are already quite low.


 * Oshiete! Gyaruko-chan: I don't really know why but this one was so refreshing. It's just highschool girls talking about random topics that most of the time have nothing to do with me, yet it's so funny and likeable, you may even learn something while watching this. I guess it's sort of what you would expect from highschool students to be doing (or maybe not, it's been a while since I finished highschool).


 * Sekkou Boys: This... This is what you get when a japanese lets his imagination go wild, it's absurd! They're statues, yet they're Idols! You'll probably ask yourself how the hell this came to be, yet it's funny because of this as there are points where you have to actually remind yourself that those characters are statues! And you'll laugh most of the time if you keep switching your logic switch on and off. As someone once pointed, this is probably one big trolling of the anime industry toward us.


 * Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara, Ooya-san wa Shinshuki and Tabi Machi Late Show: Plotless shorts, some funny moments but nothig really noteworthy. Tabi Machi Late Show was probably the best one to me by premise alone, but it lacked in about everything.

>> Best OPs:


 * Boku Dake ga Inai Machi's Re:Re:: Both the song and the animation are really nice. Fits perfectly to the anime.
 * Showa Genroku Rakugo Shijuu's Usurahi Shinjuu: It's great, it feels different from what I expect from an OP yet it's so pretty. The style amazing and it really fits the anime.

>> Best Endings:


 * Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko's Sonata: Yes, this one is simpple, is pretty, is perfect for the anime and one of the main contributors to my overload of feels, it complements everything you see in the anime. I'm listening this one anytime I have chance.
 * Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi's Sore wa Chiisana Hikari no Youna: Another great one for a great anime, the animation is really pretty and has some nice references if you've already read/watched.
 * Fairy Tail's Landscape: I really liked this one mainly for the music (I was paying so much atention to the music I barelly noticed the animated part), so I figured I should put it here.

>> For the next season:


 * The only one I can say for sure is Boku no Hero Academia that is a really good and the first arcs are really the best though the qualitydon't really fall that much. It's a relly consistent manga if you ask me and I'm hoping that the anime is sucessful, so it will get sequel (no filler ending please).

Well, this is it, I really enoyed this season and am hoping to be surprised by the one starting next week. Feel free to coment. See ya.
