Actually, this and some other rumors I've herd recently about the exact nature of the relationship between the two leads (that they spoiler[are a couple to disguise the fact that each holds a forbidden love]) makes me want to see Scum's Wish even more. It's probably now my second-most-anticipated title of the season (after Konosuba 2). What I'm going to be most curious to see, though, is what title we'll all be talking about at the end of the season that we aren't talking about now. |

The Anime series that I'm most looking forward to seeing this season are Little Witch Academia and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Besides Gundam IBO (which is on-going and awesome right now), I'm excited for Blue Exorcist and YowamushiPedal, both being sequels to series I've seen. elDLIVE has me really excited; I managed to read some of the manga and loved it. Sure, I'm not neccessarily happy there may be fillers (I really don't think the fillers would be put in unless they wanted a year-long series. Even then, it wouldn't be till later. There is quite a good amount of material to work with), I'm still excited to watch it. As for other shows I'm curious for, Onihei, ACCA, and Handshakers all caught my attention.

I'm in the minority who's in favor of Seiren. I'm weak against series like this.
I'll be paying attention to Chaos;Child, regardless of how it'll turn out. I'm frustrated that it's only one cour. But seeing the low chances of getting the game translated, the anime is the only option we got. Aside from that, I'm interested with Konosuba, Of course, I'll also keep following Gundam IBO. It's become really good. |

For me, Konosuba 2, Youjo Senki, and ACCA are the ones I'm most looking forward to trying out. I'm curious about a few others, but might wait to see what people's initial impressions are before I jump on them.
That's always a fun thing to guess. Looking at the shows that currently have less than 10,000 MAL users "planning to watch" them, the one that jumps out at me is Idol Incidents (current "plan to watch" count: 2,141 users, or approximately 75,000 less than Konosuba 2). The visuals in the previews look pretty good, it has a solid studio behind it (MAPPA) and one of the most hilarious anime plot descriptions I've read in a long time. Plus the script composer and at least part of her writing team for the show also worked together on the well-regarded Chihayafuru. My biggest concern is that it's an anime original with what looks like a first-time series director, so there's also a high train wreck potential there, too. |

I'm basing my expectations on your reviews! 
Until I saw your post, I was sure that Rakugo was Noitamina, but you're right, Scum's Wish is. Rakugo is Animeism (that is the actual name of the timeslot, not an otaku spiritual movement), but Amazon has streaming rights to it in Japan--thankfully, they're not exclusive, though. Hopefully, Crunchyroll will get it elsewhere. |

This is an interesting point to bring up. Shows that people expect to reel in viewers can completely flop and vice versa. Konosuba's first season I believe was going to be passed over by many before it became one of the biggest hits of winter 2016. Sadly enough, without actually seeing a show, we have to judge it off its premise and its pedigree- or the minds behind its creation. Trigger already has such a distinctive style( thxs to animators like Mr.Yoh), so Little Witch has got a following, and shows like Scum Wish have a ridiculously intriguing premise which hooks us in. I think by the halfway point of the season we should be able to tell which shows will disappoint and which we should've been paying attention to- the middle of a story is typically the hardest to write after all. |

That's part of what makes it so depressing for me.  It is interesting, though, I'll definitely give it that!

Gintama is my most hyped for the year, let alone winter.

I am most anticipating "Fuuka". I am glad that CR is streaming it and that Funi is simul-dubbing it. Ideally it will be 2-cour length.
