it's hard to say any more since the early frontrunner for AOTS already ended and everything else is in its boring middle phase, therefore I'm going to have to nominate the one that stands out and defies comparison the most which is Kanokari

Summer season was mostly sequels and shit dumbass.
It would take two seconds to realize "continuing" in the given (or any) context meant shows that were airing last season. One does not tend to include continuing works because that's not reflective of the season.
What's reflective of summer is that it's mostly sequels.

Hikaru.
I'd say Food court, but it's basically a short.
I'd say City, but the source material is so far up its' own ass that even Kyoani can't pull it out.
I'd say Bisque doll, but it's a season 2.
I'd say Gachiakuta, but it's a battle shounen with poop jokes despite Bones giving it their best.
So Hikaru.
Best scene of the season is the rock band from Dandadan though.

Hikaru is beyond boring. It could've been REALLY good with all the occult shit and how ostracized people adopt the "I'll get mine no matter what" philosophy after being rejected by society but there's hardly anything interesting going on, just tons of faggotry. The anime's really ugly too, it leans too hard on color filters like VEG

it's the same 3-4 episode per volume story arcs that light novel adaptations always have, though better than the first season since there's a main antagonist now
still those movies kind of spoiled me and now I feel like ~90 minute made-for-TV-quality movies for each volume arc are the optimal way to adapt a light novel series and everything else is going to suck by comparison

For me, so far it's probably a three way between ruri, CITY, and nukitashi, but im looking forward to every episode of bad girl most of all. hope it pulls out of the slump the past 2 episodes have had and becomes funny again. if it does then bad girl aots.
