At the end of the season, been having to write up several reviews for a forum and making reviews. Feels somewhat exhausting to saying goodbye to shows from the last few months. Konosuba ended a couple weeks ago and was consistently funny.

I love a good anime, unfortunately I find it hard to find an anime that I really like. Though I have started to read Manga more cause its faster.
Everyone's tastes are different and it can be hard to know if you are going to like something before you have even seen it, sometimes something that gets you early can be disappointing while something that may not have meant much at the beginning did surprisingly well. Such an example for myself would be
Kill la Kill which I ended up liking a lot, and I think it was especially because it used the medium as a tool rather than say a standard shounen anime that uses the medium just to tell the same story that is in a manga.
You mentioned
One Punch Man, and I think that is an interesting case where they could have gotten away with a lot less animation, but they ended up putting a surprising amount in, and often used it as a tool. For example look at the episode with the beetle guy, a beetle would mean exoskeleton so they might barely have to animate him moving but they did not just chicken out, in fact they animated his mouth quite a lot and it was done to really sell his wild nature.
I love anime that can just really sell a style, another example you mentioned was
No Game, No Life, where it take the initial art style that is a bit uncomfortable and uses it to sell mood. Just do something that makes me happy that I am being forced at the length of an anime rather than a manga that would let you choose your own speed. School Live even alters events to better take advantage that it is animated and has use of sound and stuff.
