Taking it all into consideration, I think Momoyuki Mogura is the most interesting character of the season. Among non-sequels, anyway.

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun (Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun) 2 – 22
I was half-expecting a “you’ll float too” there for a minute. The bar is high, but this arc may be the best run of episodes Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun has had in anime form.
