** Fate/cooking (Today's Menu for the Emiya Family)

* Drama/Romance: Domestic Girlfriend

=== Longer comments on shortlisted shows above ===

* Chihayafuru (season 1, and if liked seasons 2 and 3 too)

** The basic premise is a "sports" anime set around a Japanese card game Karuta

** Chihayafuru was previously shown to the anime group back in Autumn 2011 - Winter 2012, but that's before most of the current attendees joined - need to check with Mark and Mark whether they saw it back then and what they think about a rewatch if so.

** maxb opinion: I haven't actually constructed a personal top 10, but if I did, I think this would be on it. Some of the things that set it ahead of the pack for me are:

*** an excellent cast of characters, who each have their own nuances, and aren't there just because a club needs 5 members

*** taking two cours per season, and actually making use of that time effectively to give us a lot of story, appropriately paced

*** sequel seasons which actually measure up to what went before and contribute to the whole

* Note to anyone previewing this: It's relatively hard to get a feel for what this series is going to be like from watching a few episodes, as after briefly showing the "present day", it then delves into a flashback to the main characters' younger selves that lasts through to the first few minutes of episode 4. Be prepared to watch more than 3 episodes if you're evaluating it thoroughly, or consider skipping some of the flashback if you're just sampling some fragments of episodes to assess it for the schedule.

Psycho-Pass 3 was also suggested, but on further investigation turns out to be 8 double-length episodes, so that's not fitting into a regular schedule without quite some disruption.
