Since most of the anime in this season is going to end, and I already have in mind for my Top 5 Anime For Summer 2017, so let's get started!
Honourable Mentions:
They get in here because I like them, but they are not too special in terms of plot/character/setting.
Nana Maru San Batsu, Pikotarou no Lullaby Lullaby
5th: Isekai Shokudou
This is the anime that stays with me whenever I have my meals. It's an anime that you will need to watch it when you want to just relax, sit back and eat. A restaurant from another world, serving foods that we know but it's something new for the people from the fantasy world. You don't need to think about the plot, character developments, or how it will end. The main focus is simply, food, and enjoying your meal.
Contains: Lots of species (dragons, demons, elfs, faries, sirens...), food that doesn't work like Shogugeki No Soma, peaceful eating (no foodgasms), inner peace of enjoying a meal.
4th: Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (TV)
The main reason for me to keep watching this is because the main protagonist who's extraordinary clever yet purposely hide himself and at the same time, helping his classmates behind the scenes. The setting is pretty interesting too, an elite school which has a unique system to go on.The people in the school have different sides on themselves, and you can see how they appear and reveal themselves when their personalities can go really, really different quick. Is it exciting to watch? 6/10.
Contains: Girls being 1-100 from innocent to bitch levels, blackmailing, bullying, your teacher who smokes, school.
3th: Ballroom E Youkoso
This is not Yuri On Ice. I repeat, regardless on how much I love Yuri On Ice and how I can use 3 days and 3 nights to talk how amazing it is, this goes to a different direction despite being an anime about sports. In this case, ballroom dancing. The protagonist is your from 0-100 hero in terms of dancing, from scratch to get into competitions. Shounen, sports, romance and drama going on, competition, it's a balanced anime that really gets you going. Ignore the long neck art style.
Contains: Sports, shounen elements, Haikyuu art style, romance.
2nd: Kakegurui
For anyone who thinks this is going to be my 1st, oops.
Don't get me wrong, I love this anime. The fact that it's from MAPPA gets me going like, instantly because MAPPA creates Yuri On Ice. But I think most of the people know what this anime is about. But in case you didn't, here we go. A school that's about gambling, and use gambling to survive, it really makes things go wild. If you get to debt, you are a slave. And well, your "a new transfer student enters and changes shit" is happening here, but this is worth your watch.The way they draw facial expressions are on a different level and boi, shit goes down in each episodes. You will be wanting more because of many reasons. The opening song is good, jazz can do wonders. 8/10. Also the ending theme. People tend to not skip that... for reasons.
Contains: Crazy girls came from gambling... I am not kidding. It happened, tips on how to cheat during gamble, driving people from heaven to hell (debts), catgirl, a tsundere, your narrating character that you hate, a student council who are all eccentrics, guns, inappropriate noises (check this out yourself, I'm not telling you where), excessive nails, idols, twisted face expressions.
And the 1st place goes to...

And the 1st place goes to...
1st: Made In Abyss
If you want a tl;dr, I can tell you now.
Madoka Magica but worse.
If you are the person who likes cute character designs, you will get hooked. The designs and the setting are cute. The setting especially, are inspired from Ghibli works. For Love Live fans, the protagonist is called Riko. Idk if you will watch it because of this, but be my guest. The music soundtrack is just amazing. It's that kind of music that tells you the atmosphere of the scenes with some singing at the background. The creator of the OST is an Australian, so it gives a whole new view from a Japanese anime.The author used to draw for games, so it might give you in an RPG feel.
It tells a story of a girl searching for her mom, who's in the deep deep down in the abyss. With her companion robot boy, Reg, they step out for an adventure.
Ok, so how is this anime so good? I really don't want to spoil anything because I want all of you to feel what I felt the first time watching the episodes, so here's a quick summary contains to make sure that you are okay to watch it with all these elements in it.
Contains: 12 year olds not knowing sex jokes and the author have to do it to make people think this is gross but forgot that they are just 12, they didn't mean it in that way, fantasy setting, Owen the mommy, daddy that might or might not appear in the anime, adventure, survival, gore that made me almost puked, furry, they never censor anything, madoka magica dark plots, an incoming Episode 13 that goes for 60 minutes.
