D.Gray-man HALLOW is really the only one I'm interested in of FUNimation's line up thus far. Last season FUNimation had terrible picks and it was the first season I didn't watch a single Broadcast Dub of since they started the block, so kind of seems like FUNimation is taking the approach of grabbing a lot of shitty titles instead of just grabbing a few good titles. Sometimes less is better you know. I'm sure others will have different opinions and actually like these choices though, so \o/

 

Anyhow that means now that 5 out of the 7 shows I decided to give a chance this season have been announced as picked up by some Simulcast service. =)

Also, out of curiosity what was your final Spring 2016 list?

The Outcast was one I was hoping to watch, but being a Chinese adaptation I don't really know where it stands on whether it'd be available for Simulcasts to start with or not. I wasn't factoring in Nanatsu because it's just 4 episodes that will be aired at the last 3rd of the season and it's probably been picked up by Netflix for a delayed release like season 1.

 

Final Spring list? Eh, I finished (or will be finishing) Kabaneri, Mayoiga, ReZERO, Joker Game, and Big Order.

While I dropped Endride, Twin Star Exorcist, Bungou Stray Dogs, Kiznaiver, and Flying Witch.

 

Kabaneri and Big Order turned out to be shit, but I completed them anyways. Well technically Kabaneri has one more episode but I'll be watching it. Joker Game was alright, but nothing I'd watch again tbh. Mayoiga turned out rather silly but it was still a good watch, while ReZERO was definitely Anime of the Season in what I'd consider an extremely weak season.

 

Endride was generic. I knew that going into it, but after 8 episodes the show was kind of at a standstill of not really doing anything or going anywhere. Twin Star Exorcist was decent when it was progressing canon, but way entirely too much of the first cour was shitty shitty shitty filler and it killed the series for me. The good wasn't worth putting up with the shitty filler. Bungou Stay Dogs was utter garbage right out of the gate with no redeeming quality. Kiznaiver didn't know what it wanted to do, and Flying Witch was too boringly slow for me, albeit I tend to avoid slice of life type shows to begin with I gave it a chance for some reason, but it just wasn't for me.
