My Love story is a nice show, especially for those tired of conventional shoujo style romances.
Third week dump. New shows I'll keep watching for now:

Plastic Memories hard a solid first episode, but the last two have been a little underwhelming. I'm hoping that there's more development in everything that isn't the protagonist falling in love with his inept, emotionally distant and dying android waifu because that sounds very unappealing right now. If they want tragedy porn, they'll need to work harder for it.
Hestia and friends is ok enough. The production looks good and the pacing steady.
Punch Line: The past few episodes have shown that the entire show isn't just going to be about panty shots and nose bleeds that signal the meteor apocalypse; it got old fast so that's welcome. What it's going to be about going forward though...eh? I'm always down for strange, slightly lewd show once in a while and this is a MAPPA project; their last couple of original shows have generated enough goodwill from me togive this a shot.
Domo, Ninja Slayer: I'm still morning the show this could've been and punching myself for even following it for so long, yet i'll still watch. Ep 2 wasn't as bad as the first (a very low bar to overcome) and it had more conventional crappy animation than inferno cop style crappy animation, so yay? It was adaption of part of the story i've seen before and apart from a few cuts...it could be worse? After knocking down my expectations a few notches, its ok.
Blood Blockade Battlefront is probably one of the better new action shows this season. Nice art direction and an interesting take on magically infused Manhattan. I really like it so far.
Etotama is...eh.It's Very dumb show that's very confused as what it wants to be right now. The only reason I watch it is becasue the 3D chibi battle sections look a whole lot better than I expect from a show like this.
Arslan is alright and so is Euphonium.

Oregairu too: This new season is just so weird. The way the show is directed much more serious than the first season. The light-hearted nature of the first season is toned considerably and in turn there's more emphasis on the awkwardness and loneliness of the character relationships. Hachiman is portrayed more like an actual awkward teen afraid of being hurt by human interactions while being jealous of those who around him who aren't rather than a benevolent saint who has it all figured out and can take all the pain on all by himself. It also looks way better.
The rest i'll just list since i've got nothing to say about them:
F/SN UBW, JBAA, Oregairu too, Grisaia , Teekyu 4, Nasuno Desu!, I can't Understand what my Husband is Saying, Tesagure Season 3
That's too much anime. I don't think i'll survive.
