God Eater

I wasn't really interested in this anime until a few weeks ago. I heard alot of people were hyped for it, but I didn't know much about it. It was like a hidden gem for me! The plot is super great and the animation is unique. 
I love the show's action  and weapon designs the characters use.
The main character Lenka Utsugi is also very likable as well as the other characters.
This show is a must watch!

Summary:

In the early 2050s, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” begin their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. Their ravenous appetite and remarkable adaptability earn them first dread, then awe, and finally the name “aragami”. In the face of an enemy completely immune to conventional weapons, urban civilization collapses, and each day humanity is driven further and further toward extinction. One single ray of hope remains for humanity. Following the development of “God Arcs”—living weapons which incorporate Oracle cells—their wielders are organized into an elite force

Lots of great info!
If you haven't watched Shirobako, do so now! Season 2 just ended...
It's a fantastic anime with lots of heart and creativity!

Summary:

In a school in northeastern Japan, five friends in the animation club, Aoi, Ema, Shizuka, Misa, and Midori swear to complete a new anime called "Shinbutsu Konkou SHICHIFUKUJIN" with some donuts. Since then, day after day, the five spend all of their time on anime production. The awe of going from rough sketches to animation, and the awkward acting in the after recording session... The final product was finished at the cultural fair six months later. After they graduated they still pursued animation and swore on some donuts that they would make another anime together.

Tonari no Seki-kun

Best short anime I've seen! Seki-kun and Yokoi are so perfect together. Whenever I'm feeling down this short anime can make me laugh out loud. I really wish I could have thought of all those ways to kill time when I was in highschool. 

Summary:
Class is in session at a certain high school. While the teacher isn't looking, a boy named Seki-kun is playing games by himself on his desk, while the girl who sits next to him, Yokoi-san, observes (or interferes or participates). Each time, Seki-kun's games reach unimaginable levels... And this time the game is...
