Don't get me wrong, it's OTT and very cheesy, but it's consistently really fun to watch with likable characters, and there is a basic plot there that's actually acceptable for the kind of Anime that it is imo.
Just don't go into Wind Breaker expecting the "coolest" Anime of the season, because you won't enjoy it with that mindset.
Kaiju No. 8 - It started a bit off for me, and I still don't think that the plotting is the best on Kaiju No. 8, but the Comedy and Action are really strong for the Show imo.
Plus the Vice Captain really gives me Levi Ackerman vibes, which is always a good thing in my eyes.
Go Go! Loser Ranger! - Despite the crazy name, and the whacky ED, Loser Ranger is probably the most serious of the three Animes, and definitely seems to be pushing it's narrative the most.
Again it kind of took awhile for me to warm up to Loser Ranger (especially as I do have an aversion to modern western tastes creeping into the Animes that end up getting made,) however I do think that in general Loser Ranger is improving with each episode, and I appreciate the fact that it is actually trying a bit harder than usual for modern Anime, on actually having a plot with the potential to build actual depth to it in possible sequel seasons.

I've finished all three of these Animes First Seasons.
They have all been renewed, which is good news for the fans of these Shows.
I personally liked all three Animes, none of them were perfect imo, but they were entertaining to watch for me, which I do think is a very important aspect of a TV Show to try and reach.
Like in a lot of industries at the moment though, I do wish that modern Anime could do some more ambitious storylines again.
Don't get me wrong I like some of the more laid back/more basic plotting Animes, but I do feel like we're really lacking an epic Anime that will run for a few Seasons.
But having said that, I did enjoy Wind Breaker, Go!Go! Loser Ranger! And Kaiju No. 8
And I did enjoy Clannad despite it not being an epic style of storytelling (mainly because it is really well written imo, I recommend it to any Anime fan that just wants something of a high quality, and doesn't really care too much about genre.)
Oh and my rankings for the 3 Animes goes like this.
1. Wind Breaker - It's cheesy as hell, but it's so fun with it that I let it slide.
I'm undecided between the other two.
I think that Kaiju No. 8 has the better characters.
But I think that Go! Go! Loser Ranger has presented a better plot (controversial opinion.)
So for now I'll call it a draw.
