So far my season looks like:
Berserk - 7/10, great show, epic fights, accurate to the manga, but animated like sticking my cgi dick in a pencil sharpener so I had to knock the score for it.
Boruto - 7/10, it's a good show and interesting to see how the characters I've spent 10+ years watching grew up and who ended up with who and what their kids are like. Probably going to get annoying once it gets swamped with filler.
Danmachi Gaiden - 8/10, fun to watch, warm and fuzzy when it wants to be but also hype as shit and gritty when the time is right.
Eromanga-Sensei - 9.5/10. If "My little sister can't be this cute" was something you liked, or would have liked if it was done better this corrects all that with the exception of the main character being completely and totally oblivious. But the show is genre savvy enough to call him a "light novel protagonist" so I only took off .5 of a point for it. Hilarious and charming to watch with a mild dash of fanservice.
Granblue Fantasy the animation - 7/10 I picked this up because it is animated by a ton of people that worked on Final Fantasy but I've noticed the show itself has the feel of the game Skies of Arcadia.
Quan Zhi Gao Shou (The Kng's Avatar) - 10/10, Korean show about pro mmorpg players and what the best one does after he is forced to retire in crummy circumstances. FANTASTIC show, easily my top pick this season. Gritty realism about how much life can suck and yet lighthearted and fun gameplay with rules that make sense in the game they are playing. Unlike sao which completely ignores in game logic and Log Horizon which is completely bound by it in incredible detail this has imo the perfect middleground. It takes me back to seeing Dot Hack for the first time except executed better.
Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records - 8/10, It has a few stupid premises you need to get over, like the fanservice based school uniforms and that evidently no one has properly researched magic before, but other than that
