Because every nerd forum must have its own section for us weebs.

For Summer 2019, I recommend:
* Dr. Stone, an uplift story set after a mysterious ray turned all humans into stone.
* Danberu nan Kiro Moteru, a romance story of a girl and her lifting numbers

...
and that's all!

I really should watch LoGH and Gundam Z sometimes this decade, huh...
 
I finally got around to watching Violet Evergarden. I am at episode 7 right now. It won't even make a dent in my backlog but it's a step in the right direction. Honestly, I'd need a year of nothing but watching anime to finish it all.

As for this season, I've only been following Case Files so far, but might give Dr. Stone a look. I also plan to see Danmachi season 2 since I've already watched the first season.
 
We recently watched Canon Busters on Netflix. That was pretty interesting (great theme song too).
 
I'm a very very sporadic anime viewer (like one series in a couple years perhaps), but I watched Full Metal Panic in highschool and I've been pondering about watching the newer series this time.
 
Sailor Moon (the original series) with my Daughter. Also Rurouni Kenshin with my sons. All three of them are watching Azumanga Daioh as well.
 
Me and a girlfriend started watching Danberu nan Kiro Moteru in English on a lark after coming back from the gym. It is profoundly silly, and the translators seem to have run with turning it into a pseudo gym-rat parody that's honestly pretty funny (there's something fundamentally amusing to me to see cutesy anime girls using the phrase 'get swole'). Also has the most aggravatingly ear-wormy opening I've heard in a while.

Obligatory addition required for any time I post about anime: Currently waiting for a copy of Gunsmith Cats in the mail so I can watch it, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone--perhaps especially anybody whose a fan of those late-80s, early-90s action flicks. It's like a Japanese lethal weapon knockoff, and I love it.

I approve of this parenting method very much. :p
 
Can I just make my obligatory call-out for Seikai no Monshu, which really does elevate the entire Banner of the Stars series of books (I was quite astonished and pleased to learn they were light novels) into just a delightful viewing experience? I even got one of the security guards at work to watch it.
 
Well, most recently I watched Lost Song on Netflix. Pretty average series I guess, but I wasn't bored. Actually blew through the whole thing in one day, because I wasn't constantly pausing it and doing something else for a few minutes. (Something I have a bad habit of doing.)
 
Most recently I tried to watch Re:Zero, got to episode 8.
I couldn't get into it, mainly because the kid has actual Groundhog Day powers, but he seems to stay a fumbling whiner instead of using his Groundhog Day powers to become the most awesome badass that ever lived, err, died.

He supposedly gets better towards the end; but in my opinion, if you have to wait that long for it to get good, it isn't.

Yes, the last episode could be the greatest most epic story ever told, but if you have to suffer through dozens of bad episode to get to that point, is it really worth it?

Most people who try to argue "it gets better later, I swear!" don't understand that the reason it gets better is because it builds off of the stuff that grabbed them in the beginning. If it didn't grab you, then the climax has nothing to build off of; and an uninterested audience will remain uninterested.
