Last year I made a thread about the spring season of anime 2016. I did the thread to make others interested in what seemed to be an unusually interesting season of anime. However now 1 year later it seems like this years spring season might even surpass the previous years. I will provide a list of 5 of the anime I find most interesting in this season. However this does not include second seasons or sequels of any kind. Hence even though a lot of people are excited for the new second season of Saekano, Bahamut, Berserk etc, I will not cover them in this list. There is no need for me to hype them since the only ones interested in watching those do not care whether or not I recommend them.
Before I begin with my list let me quickly mention the by far two most anticipated anime of this season, Boku no Hero Academia and Shingeki no Kyoujin.
