The Spring season is wrapping up at this point and the first Summer shows are just about to start. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven’t been watching any seasonal shows, we can talk about that too!

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray surprised me. I didn't expect to like it as I tried to watch the first Umamusume a couple of times and couldn't get past episode 2. Will watch Part 2.

That was my experience with Pretty Derby too. Thanks to Cinderella Gray, I gave it one more chance but didn't watch by release order - and finally got into it.

Please try starting from Pretty Derby season 2 directly, and try at least 2 episodes before deciding whether to drop it or not. It has a significantly higher rating than the first season for a reason: the story is just that good.

Note that although it is the second season, you can watch it as a standalone show.
