It's been uneven, but at least it's trying to have more than
one-dimensional characters. I don't know whether it's going to
succeed, but it shouldn't be bland nothingness!

I'm also watching, and enjoying so far, _Kakegurui_, which you gave one star
to, but that's a show that will appeal to a narrower audience, and you
can get a good idea of whether you'll like it from just the first episode.

I'm enjoying your two top-rated shows (_Made in Abyss_ and
_Princess Principal_); I think _Made in Abyss_ has a chance of being a great
show, but it's too early to tell.

Shows I've now seen some of and dropped include
_18if_ : Sort of a watered down _Hell Girl_ where the main character enters the
dreams of obsessed girls, and with a couple of comments, cures them.
_Hell Girl 4_: After so many seasons, the situations just seem contrived.
_Gamers!_
_New Game!:
_Hajimete no Gal_: Funny at times, but often too crass

Thanks for your comments, Chris.

Yokoso JSSK makes me feel saffocating. Because I'm a care-free person
myself. Likely less involving than Kiyotaka.

I'm still watching "New Game!!". Partly because I like to see creators
and I'm teaching young people to make games with Ruby and DXRuby
graphic library.

I finally gave up on 18if today after watching episode 6. Any ambition that was there in the first couple of episodes just evaporated as the series continued with its two-minute pop-psych answers to the world's problems.

So I'm now not watching any new series from Summer 2017. That's a grim situation that hasn't happened to me in any other anime season in the past 20 years.

I watched the first episodes of 'Made in Abyss' and 'Princess Principal'
on your recommendation.
'Made in Abyss' looks good and was quite fun, though the child
characters look very young and Nat is a bit irritating.

The action scenes in 'Princess Principal' were perhaps a bit
over-imaginative but the script is good, with some excellent dialogue.
