Top 10 Summer 2018 Anime Selections

I know, I know. It's been so long. Where have I been? What have I been doing? Have I given up on anime? To be perfectly honest, I haven't been watching anime. Trying to get back to it, trying to get back to it, I fail. I do miss it sometimes. I had some free time today and I thought about checking out the new shows on line-up for Summer 2018. The ones below are the top 10 titles I'm interested in.
