It's crazy to me that Gundam GQuuuuuux didn't even make the list. Out of the three shows I'm watching this season it by far is my favorite. I guess people must be put off by it being part of a bigger franchise; I'll admit some parts might make less sense to someone who hasn't seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

Not understanding the larger context or who any of the referenced characters are is what kept me away. I gave it one episode and couldn’t understand what was happening so I bailed. It needed more narrative training wheels for folks like me.

Sad to see Apocalypse Hotel not here, but happy to see Lazarus suffering from its narrative wheel-spinning and complete lack of character definition.

I've heard Apocalypse Hotel is good. Hopefully I'll find the time to give it a look soon.

Also chiming in to say Apocalypse Hotel is really good. I didn't know what to expect since it is an anime original, but it has really impressed me (so far).

Seconding Apocalypse Hotel, it's really good
