Grand Blue Dreaming
HANEBADO!
Happy Sugar Life
Harukana Receive

My Hero Academia Season 3 (2nd cour)
OVERLORD III
PERSONA5 The Animation (2nd cour)
Revue Starlight
Steins;Gate 0 (2nd cour)
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs
Bold titles are the ones I consider to be the best of that category, the rest of nominations.
Best Opening Song:
"Braver" by Straightener (Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion)
"Dark Sun" by Lyn (PERSONA5 The Animation)
"found & lost" by Survive Said The Prophet (BANANA FISH)
"Hoshi no Dialogue" by Starlight Kukugumi (Revue Starlight)
"Red Swan" YOSHIKI feat. HYDE (Attack on Titan Season 3)
"VORACITY" by MYTH&ROID (OVERLORD III)
For this season we had a couple interesting songs but the one that surprised me the most was actually the opening song for Attack on Titan Season 3. Not only does it fit with the tone of the anime's current season but the full version of the song is pretty neat. Angolmois would have been the runner up, not only because it was surprising but it's also a great song as well. Dark Sun was a great listen and so were the rest of the nominations.
Best Opening Sequence:
Attack on Titan Season 3
Banana Fish (1st cour)
HANEBADO!
OVERLORD III
PERSONA5 The Animation (2nd cour)
Revue Starlight
Now this is a cheeky one. I actually really like the last minute change to PERSONA5's second opening animation. I like it because it properly fits the show's tone and setting. Attack on Titan and HANEBADO were strong contenders as well.
Best Ending Song:
"Fly Me to the Star" by Starlight Kukugumi (Revue Starlight)
"Long Hope Philia" by Masaki Suda (My Hero Academia Season 3)
"Upside Down" by SHE'S (Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion)
"Wish me luck!!!!" by Kana Yuuki, Saki Miyashita, Atsumi Tanezaki, Rie Suegara (Harukana Receive)
"World-Line" by Asami Imai (Steins;Gate 0)
So for a last minute change once again, I recently finished Revue Starlight and it's ending song was pretty solid. Angolmois gets the runner-up once again alongside My Hero Academia's ending song.
Best Ending Sequence:
Grand Blue Dreaming
OVERLORD III
Revue Starlight
While I watched a lot of anime from this season, I wouldn't say most were pretty memorable. Grand Blue was just plain silly but amusing to witness, OVERLORD III continues to use the illustrator's artwork to very nice detail, but Revue Starlight has some interesting design changes between each episode based on who gets the main spotlight. It's a nice change of pace.
Best Animation:
Attack on Titan Season 3
HANEBADO!
Harukana Receive
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
Revue Starlight
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs
So I'm giving Attack on Titan the best animation primarily because it had some pretty badass moments during some of the action scenes and it was pretty solid overall. HANEBADO! had some impressive stuff but I felt something was off in places. The others I included in this list because I felt they had solid animation quality overall.
Best Soundtrack:
Attack on Titan Season 3
Harukana Receive
Revue Starlight
Another pretty okay season for soundtrack. The biggest surprise was with Harukana Receive which had a soundtrack that felt very retro and fit the tone of the seaside theme. Revue Starlight earns the award for the solid performances by the cast, I understand.
Favourite Anime of the Season:
#1:
Attack on Titan Season 3
#2:
Grand Blue Dreaming
#3:
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
#4:
Harukana Receive + Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs
#5:
Lupin the Third Part 5 (2nd cour) + Revue Starlight
Going to be honest, I know many were meh over Attack on Titan but the third season was pretty damn solid overall. It was the only show this season that kept me watching each episode as soon as it aired which is pretty rare for me at times. Grand Blue gets the second place because I love the show in general and I know the humour is an acquired taste for most folks. Demon Lord is the biggest surprise for me given I didn't think I would like it but I do. Harukana Receive was actually pretty good in the end and so was Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs. Both Lupin the Third Part 5 and Revue Starlight are solid recommendations but the reason they're placed so low on the list is because the others had more replay value for me personally.
Weakest Anime of the Season:
DROPKICK ON MY DEVIL!!
The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar
Just two shows for my weakest contenders this time around. Both Angolmois and PERSONA5 were above average to dodge the list in general so let's talk about these lot.
DROPKICK ON MY DEVIL!! is a great concept poorly executed. This series to me felt like it should have been a short 5-10 minute per episode series instead mainly because the humour is pretty dry after the first episode and while the characters are alright the show didn't do much and tried too hard to be funny. The Master of Ragnarok is just plain bad, now I love my ecchi harems but this show failed from the get-go by skipping the beginning of the journey so there's not much reason to care about the cast. Not to mention the animation dropped like a bomb and it's pretty silly in general.
Best Reaction Screencapping Shows:
