OMG the first four anime you listed here are the ones I’m eyeing for this Summer 2017! I was watching some PVs two(?) weeks ago and they’re the ones that caught my attention. Dive mainly because of the VAs present. I think Kakegurui’s going to be the most interesting, though I’m looking forward to Katsugeki! Touken Ranbu the most. 😀

Yep, but I hope that kind of animation will carry on the series. There are times the PVs look awesome, but the actual animation on the series isn’t.
IKR? When I was watching Kakegurui’s PV, some chills went down my spine because of the premise, the animation, and the design. I just hope it won’t disappoint.
ufotable’s doing K!TR so I have high hopes for it. *^*
