Spring season:

• Shoushimin Series Season 2 - loved season 1, but this one was even better and made me appreciate Osanai more. I'll miss her revenge plots.
• Apocalypse Hotel was fantastic. Fun, unpredictable, melancholic at times. Loved everything about it. Yachiyo is easily the best character of the show (of the season even), but I want to give a shout-out to Environment Checker Robot, who was a great addition to the cast.
• Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen - one of the best Kuroshitsuji arcs, and my favourite animated arc (so far, I hope, and despite a couple of ridiculously long recaps). Am I finally getting fascinated with Sebastian after all these years? Maybe.
• Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray surprised me. I didn't expect to like it as I tried to watch the first Umamusume a couple of times and couldn't get past episode 2. Will watch Part 2.
• Maebashi Witches - wasn't feeling it in the beginning but it became better with each progressing episode. I love how they navigated each character's arc and the sincerity with which they addressed personal issues and sensitive topics. A pretty little show with a positive message.
• Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi - the cast of characters had a great chemistry. A fun group dynamic made the show enjoyable to watch.
• Ballpark de Tsukamaete! - another good slice-of-life. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
• Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de was fun, but too episodic to my liking. It just made me crave for more interactions between Kageyama and Reiko outside of murder cases (the finale was on the right track with that).
• Aru Majo ga Shinu Made, on the other hand, turned out to be less episodic than I expected and introduced some interesting worldbuilding. The characters were likeable, but the emotional part didn't click with me. It definitely benefitted from being a Tuesday show.

My AOTS is either Shoushimin or Apocalypse Hotel, I can't decide.

Man, the nostalgia; I was obsessed with Bleach in those days. For me it's either Velonica or Ranbu no Melody, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

Sword of the Demon Hunter comes out of nowhere to top the chart on AC this week.

It was a pretty good episode both in content and visual direction.

I have been more than satisfied this season

Same.

Osanai destroying Urino was brutal and, I must add, quite satisfying. I can't stop laughing.
