Here's a couple more as the new show debuts are coming to an end, I think.
_Inuyashiki - The Last Hero__: A terminally ill 58 year old is rebuilt
by passing aliens who accidentally killed him, but they only had
weapon spare parts on hand. The first episode was definitely
emotionally driven, and done well in that aspect- you feel the despair
of the main character - but I have no idea how they will continue. It
could be one of the best shows of the season, or I could drop it after
one or two more episodes!
_Evil or Live_: This is just an ugly show, with ugly characters that
I can feel no positive empathy towards. I would drop it quickly,
but it's Chinese, and a show coming from that background about
re-education camps and indoctrination (to cure internet addiction
here) may have some interesting political points, so I'll watch
another show or two.
_Onyankopon_: A series of shorts evidently aimed at 5-7 year old
girls, and is not of interest to anyone else, even if it might
possibly be of interest to them (though I doubt it).
_Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch_: I surprisingly enjoyed
last season's _Tsuredure Children_ which was about the
misunderstandings of first relationships, as is this show. But they
have nothing else in common that would make this show watchable. I
have no empathy for the characters who are acting pretty much
randomly just to get a quick laugh (and a laugh at them, rather than
sympathizing with them.)
