Lycoris Recoil complete. Pretty disappointed in this one. I liked the first few episodes a good amount, but it got much worse over time. None of the villains were particularly interesting, particularly Majima. He felt like a crappy Joker ripoff and sucked the life out of every scene he was present in due to being so dreadfully dull. Chisato and Takina hanging out could generally be counted on to be fun, and Kurumi was great too, but I wasn't as into Chisato herself as a lot of people seem to be - the whole no killing thing was pretty meh, and her obsession with finding her savior wasn't interesting either. The animation and action scenes were generally quite nice at least.

When Will Ayumu Make His Move - Man, why did I watch this to the end? Was hoping it would get good like the author's other series, but it never did. The pace was painfully slow, it wasn't funny, and the characters weren't good. They try to make the MC cute, but they're mostly pretty bad about it (the VA is terrible at making moe noises). They introduce a new girl later who's more entertaining at least, but eh. The shogi they play sucks, and the romance is blah too. Overall though, the slow pacing is probably the biggest negative. Could've stood to be 1.5-2x as fast.

Summer rankings so far:

1. Isekai Uncle
2. Bastard!!
3. Cyberpunk Edgerunners
4. Lycoris Recoil
5. When Will Ayumu Make His Move?

Isekai Uncle didn't finish, obviously, but it's on hiatus so I might as well throw it on the list. Bastard and Edgrunners could be swapped.
