JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS
24 Episodes
Rated 8.23/10 by MyAnimeList
Korby's Comments: JoJo was overwhelmingly popular last season, so we're gonna watch more of it. I highly recommend checking out season 1 if you haven't already, but you can watch Stardust Crusaders without having seen it.
In a Japanese jail sits 17-year-old Jotaro Kujo: punk, fighter, delinquent...and possessed by a force beyond his control! Around the world, evil spirits are awakening: "Stands," monstrous invisible creatures which give their bearers incredible powers. To save his mother's life, Jotaro must tame his dark forces and travel around the world to Cairo, Egypt, where a hundred-year-old vampire thirsts for the blood of his family. But the road is long, and an army of evil Stand Users wait to kill JoJo and his friends...

OVERLORD
13 Episodes
Rated 8.18/10 by MyAnimeList
Korby's Comments: I really like this one. Another one of them OP Protag shows. Definitely worth a watch. It aired this summer season[it ended just a few weeks ago] and I immediately put it on the list because I liked it so much.

Momonga becomes trapped in the world of Yggdrasil as his in game character, a powerful skeletal wizard. The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) begining to feel emotion.

THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS
12 Episodes
Rated 8.01/10 by MyAnimeList
Korby's Comments: Probably the cutesiest thing we've watched on anime night, but it's really unique compared to most harem style shows in that it's not really a harem show at all. It's pretty good, I'd recommend it.
Keima Katsuragi, known online as the legendary "God of Conquest," can conquer any girl's heart—in dating sim games, at least. In reality, he opts for the two-dimensional world of gaming over real life because he is an unhealthily obsessed otaku of galge games (a type of Japanese video game centered on interactions with attractive girls).
When he arrogantly accepts an anonymous offer to prove his supremacy at dating sim games, Keima is misled into aiding a naïve and impish demon from hell named Elucia "Elsie" de Lute Ima with her mission: retrieving runaway evil spirits who have escaped from hell and scattered themselves throughout the human world. Keima discovers that the only way to capture these spirits is to conquer what he hates the most: the unpredictable hearts of three-dimensional girls! Shackled to Elsie via a deadly collar, Keima now has his title of "God of Conquest" put to the ultimate test as he is forced to navigate through the hearts of a multitude of real-life girls.
