(https://static.neregate.com/2016/09/neregate.com-Fall-2016-Anime-Chart-v3.jpg)
Impressions based on (mostly) 1st episodes in order of goodness:
The great:
Flip Flappers - Better than sex.
Natsume Yuujinchou Go - Better than Flip Flappers (lol jk).
Nanbaka - Bishi Superjail. Warden is my waifu.
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda - Funniest shoujo I've seen in a while.
Sangatsu no Lion - Shaft.
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku - Another Madoka clone, this time directed by Is the order a rabbit? guy.
Kiitarou Shounen no Youkai Enikki - Cutest short OTS.
The good:
Occultic;Nine - Store-brand anime studio continues on its quest to destroy the medium, this time stylishly.
Trickster - It's pretty good. I'll watch anything clumsily adapted from Ranpo.
Gi(a)rlish Number - How can a number be girlish do you ask?
Cheating Craft - It's so retarded I love it.
Lostorage Incited WIXOSS - These shows are pretty good for commercials.
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari - Episode 1 was titled Bukkake Udon but guess what they didn't deliver.
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara. - I'm not even a pedophile.
Teekyuu 8
The okay:
Shuumatsu no Izetta - Kind of a snorefest but so have the other historical dramas these past two seasons.
WWW.Working!! - It's Working!! without Yamada so whatever.
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume - Yawn.
Gakuen Handsome - Chortle.
Show By Rock!! # - Based Bones.
To Be Hero - Fuggin gross but the ED is God-tier:

The bad:
Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru - Mancolle isn't as great as it sounds.
Tiger Mask W - Would rather watch Saint Seiya Omega.
Nazotokine - Boring.
Bernard-jou Iwaku. - Kinda cute I guess.
Kaijuu Girls: Ultra Kaijuu Gijinka Keikaku - Boring.
Nobunaga no Shinobi - It's supposed to be educational or something?
The ugly:
Yuri!!! on Ice - MAPPA's rotoscoping is even worse than usual and the artsyle changes are jarring. Wish I wasn't the only straight male in my anime club.
Keijo!!!!!!!! - Not even slightly aroused.
Bloodivores - Chinese production company should tip you off.
All Out!! - Vomit.
Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On - Dropped after one look at the CGi.
Still plan to watch:
Drifters
Ajin 2nd Season - Didn't finish S1.
Hibike! Euphonium 2 - Ditto.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 2nd Season - Ditto.
BBK/BRNK: The Gentle Giants of the Galaxy - Ditto but prolly not.
12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki 2nd Season - Ditto.
Time Bokan 24 - Heard it's bad but I love Tatsunoko.
Luger Code 1951 - Deen makes anime kino. Sakamoto is gag anime OTYAY, along with Saiki.
Fune wo Amu - Looks good.
Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars - Looks eh.
Stella no Mahou - Eh.
Soushin Shoujo Matoi - Eh.
ClassicaLoid - Eh.

Pray for anime/forgiveness tier:
Keijo!!!!!!!!
Am I in Hell tier:
Heybot!
fwiw i would not recommend drifters. i haven't read the manga but the anime is kind of a disaster. tonally it's all over the place, going from super serious elf genocide to chibi depictions of historical figures making casual jokes from one scene to another. the art is messy, the animation is janky.. the OP is cool, though.
Thanks for the heads up.
Is it as bad as 2016 Berserk?
idk i didn't watch it but probably not

Why not this seasons Shirobako then? It's called Gi(a)rlish Number and it's decent.

The only other things I'd suggest giving 15 or so minutes are Nanbaka, Sangatsu no Lion, Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku, and Occultic;Nine (mostly for the colors).
I'm glad you plan to try Yuri on Ice even though it's bad because maybe you can explain why MAPPA keeps using rotoscope when it looks godawful.
occultic;nine i've been giving a pass because of boobs: the character, but i also heard it actually has a good story. i'm trying not to pick up too many shows cuz i'm already 2 weeks behind as it is.
the problem with bad rotoscoping is the same problem with bad cgi - we only notice it when it's bad. and from some of the clips i have seen, there is some really boily/janky rotoscoping in Yuri. they probably couldn't afford to, but they should have had the key animator that did the OP (i forget her name) do the work on the other choreography. it's a shame because they actually put a lot of research and care into the sport but then tripped up on the animation.

watched it along with nanbaka today
they're good! i'd say giarlish number has more an idolmaster than shirobako feel to it (if only for the idoru segments)
Fair. I didn't get the impression the idol parts were going to be a major part of the show from the first episode but I'm probably wrong.

It's no Steins;Gate but definitely worth trying. I wouldn't let the giant tits sway you. The other three I suggested are better though imo.

God that sucks. The art in Yuri's all the fuck over the place though, and something tells me most of the target audience doesn't care (because it's Yaoi on Ice).
Would kill to see a show about actual yuri on ice though that would be amazing (given it's mostly closeups of the skaters and no rotoscoping).
not only does the target audience not care, but they think the rotoscoping looks great. these are the kind of plebeians fujoshits are
I keep forgetting "Yuri" is an actual male name.
I was extremely disappointed.
This was not the yuri I was looking for.

Jesus Christ you're right.
Quote from: GoBoianoRotoscoping is the animation technique of capturing live motion footage using actors and then tracing them for cartoons. It's not utilized that often in anime because, well, it doesn't look very good. Take Aku no Hana for example; it had its fans complaining that the characters looked ugly and that the manga art should have been used instead.
Yuri!!! on Ice is on the whole opposite spectrum. It uses rotoscoping phenomenally, and the animation quality you get is unparalleled to traditional animation because of the specific movements in figure skating.
Barf.

The yuri you're looking for is called Flip Flappers. Watch it or succ eternally.

this doesn't even make sense
"it's good because of the movements"
whoever wrote this doesn't have the first clue about how animation works
Yeah it's cringe-inducing.
Another reason laymen criticism should be relegated to storytelling and "this looks nice" or "this looks garbage."
I know this is less fall anime and more TOR expo related, but when can I expect to see me!me!meme! the 3rd? it's about time is it not?
It's called Flip Flappers.

Thanks for the rec, I'll be sure to give Keijo!!!!! a shot! :)
Tho Flip Flappers actually does look p good. I'm juggling way too much stuff to give it my full attention ATM tho.

Well if you prefer juggling over anime I guess I won't stop you.
Have fun in the circus.
Shows I'd still recommend after the 3rd episode in order of quality:
Flip Flappers
Nanbaka, Sangatsu no Lion, Occultic;Nine (idk why the MAL rating's so low probably because of Tits McGee), Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (tied)
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (the joke is already getting a bit old and since it's SoL it won't go anywhere.)
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari (it's okay. Better than Sweetness & Lightning.)
Shit I dropped because it was bad/stupid:
Shuumatsu no Izetta (third episode sealed it. Dumbest show of the season.)
Shows from summer that were AOTS and still airing:
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan (seriously, if you enjoy gag anime this is the tits.)
