Well my favorites so far are "Battle Girls" and "Steins;Gate". Relay looking forward to the next episodes... I also liked: "30-sai..." (funny), "SKET Dance"(pretty cool). "Hen Zemi" was kinda good.

My favorites: Kami Nomi 2 and Hanasaku Iroha.

I'm also watching Sengoku Otome, Dog Days, Maria Holic Alive, Ore Tsubasa, X-Men and Astarotte no Omocha.

(also watching Nichijou by the way, but has a high chance of getting dropped)

I really liked the first episode of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko! It's funny, it's weird, and the animation is decent.

& I think this character will be my fav of the season:
Don't open unless you've already seen it or don't mind a spoiler!!!

I'm watching every single one of those.
My favourites so far are:
-Hoshizora e kakaru hashi because it's so moe I can't resist. XD
-Ore tachi ni tsubasa wa nai that's from navel, so it's guaranteed win.
-Steins gate is interesting, but I hope it doesn't lose itself like Chaos head.
-X-men seems very well done, it can be the best of the 3 marvel projects.
-Ano hi mita hana is very touching, I loved the narration and the style, it can become the best of the season if it continues right.

I'll watch a bit later Kaiji and Kami nomi zo shiru sekai.
I loved their prequels, so I can't watch only one episode, I couldn't wait for the next week. XD

In addition, I'll talk about Sofuteni and Hen Zemi.
The first is way better than I imagined, the jokes are okay and there's not the rude fanservice that you can find in low ecchi shows, but it's all used for comic purposes. While it isn't a great show, it's very enjoyable.
As for Hen Zemi, the 10 minute format doesn't make it justice and the OVA were way better (if you aren't eating in the meantime obiouvsly XD).

There's a lot of good shows this season! First I was going to say watch [C],
Then I saw Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, (better)
Then I saw Deadman Wonderland, (even better)
Then I saw Ao no Exorcist! (best imo)

So... I will say that you will do good to watch any of these, especially in this order from the bottom up. (= Ao no Exorcist has epic fucking potential!! especially if you're a horror fan! =)

For now I've seen little of this new season (Kaminomi 2, Hanasaku Iroha, Hidan no Aria) and what I can say is

- Kaminomi 2: I'm not exactly n1 fan of this series, but I have to admit that was pretty good
- Hanasaku Iroha: is the most interesting of the three, this will be a good series
- Hidan no Aria: OMG, is the plagiarism of an undefined number of other series, and what kind of absurd plot... This make me laugh, I follow it with pleasure XD

Dont vote for Sekaiichi Hatsukoi just because its yaoi/shounen-ai :P

My favourites so far are Ano Hana, Hanasaku Iroha and Ao no Exorcist.
I'll vote once we're at least in the middle of the season though.

I should give Deadman Wonderland's 2nd episode a try then. The first episode definitely didnt wow me, but it could be because I'm growing tired of hearing Kana Hanazawa in like every other anime in like last 3 seasons?

I thought I was the only one, since she seems to be very well received. While I do like some of her roles (Tsukimi was perfect and I really like Kuroneko), hearing her everywhere is too much, and most of her roles are that cutesy/genki girls.

Tsukimi was perfect! & Kuroneko is fitting. Plus I really liked Nessa. However, I'm tired of always hearing the same couple of VAs too. It seems like it makes the characters automatically flat. Park Romi really gets on my nerves. Most likely because when they made Komatsu in Toriko a little boy, it really pissed me off. I thought Hitsugaya was okay & I really liked Nana, but she's Ganta in Deadman wonderland now too. I've also been having to listen to Takahiro Mizushima in Beelzebub. Maaya Sakamoto is one I like, but totally tired of as well. I know I'm missing one, so I'll just throw in Akiko Yajima because she urks me where ever she is.

I'm gonna watch 1 more episode to decide between Steins;Gate and Deadman Wonderland, and Ao no exorcist will be close too, but not my favorite, Hanasaku Iroha was good too.

I'm not really big on seiyuus, as the ones I recognise I probably can count on one hand.
Hanazawa has a very unique voice that can be easily distinguished and really I adored her at the beginning, but after her performing in every show it kind of got tiring.

As for Ganta, I thought he was voiced by the person who did the Red Color Ranger in Level E... don't they sound similar?! ''''

Now my question is: is Toriko/Sket Dance worth a try?
I disliked Bakuman and Beelzebub was totally horrible... so wondering if those 2 are better than them.

After some tought, I decided to vote for Anohana as best of the season (obiouvsly for what I can decide watching 2-3 episodes of each anime), the characters there are very well characterised even in only 2 episodes and the anime itself is pretty touching.

I had to look up 3 of the names I posted. ;D

The Red Color Ranger does sound very similar to Ganta. It's this character right? The whole color rangers thing got on my nerves. I was disappointed with the arcs in the middle of Level E. Some of the jokes were funny, but it seemed to totally drift away from the plot it started out with.

I haven't started Sket Dance & I was disappointed with Toriko. I can't recommend it. Maybe the manga, but haven't read t. ^^ I loved the ova though. I didn't like Beelzebub at first either but the quirky characters are growing on me.

It was a tough decision, but I voted for Battle Girls in the end. Steins;Gate came pretty close.
There are a lot of good anime this season. I also like Deadman Wonderland, C, Ao no Exorcist, Softenni, Hidan no Aria, SKET Dance and A Channel.

I didn't really like the Color Rangers arc. The only episode with them that I found nice was the one with Mermaid.

Guess I'll treat that two shows as a complete boredom savers if I run out of things to watch then. I saw few eps of Beelzebub and while most characters were ok, Baby Bel (?) annoyed me to no end.

Regarding best opening, I would place Sengoku Otome first. Still, the story is a little bit childishly portrayed. As if a medieval setting is all games and playtime...

Still, it came out better than I expected.

That's what I like about it, they are putting a different spin on actual historical events. Although I have to say that ep3 was a bit of a let down. I was expecting something totally different there.
And yeah, the opening is great. One of the best for this season. I also like the opening from Deadman Wonderland.

Oh okay. I don't remember his voice then lol.
I liked the mermaid one too, but probably because I love mermaid anything.
I didn't like Baby Beel or the main character at first, but I do now. The show was so hyped that I was probably disappointed. Once I took it as a comedy that isn't serious, I started enjoying it. But, I never found myself wanting to drop it. If you did, then you probably wouldn't like it after watching more eps anyway.

How about A-channel's opening? I can't be the only one liking it, it has such a pleasant song!

Speaking about hot things: I'm a bit surprised there's like no talk about Kaminomi 2. The first 3 episodes of the second season are already nicer than most of prev. season ones. Could be because the girl was nicer and they didnt pull out weird unbelievable magical stuff like that carriage during Blond Tsundere Arc.

I already voted for Kami Nomi 2, and somehow I knew I was going to before any of the episodes aired; it fully meets my high expectations. You may call be biased, but I don't really care.

I find it hard to select my absolute favorite out of the rest, since there are like 5 series that come really close in terms of entertainment.

I didn't expect that, but Ao no exorcist is, in fact, kinda cool.
It reminds me of D. gray man, which is a good thing.
As for another one that I'm finding amusing (read: f**king hilarious) is Dororon Enma-kun meeramera. The 3rd episode is epic. XD

Moshidora ended this weekend. For the most part nothing special, all the stuff that you'd expect from a sports anime, but it was enjoyable.
Also, Astarotte isn't as bad as I thought it was at the beginning. These last episodes were quite good.

I found Moshidora more than simply enjoyable, I found it very good.
The only weak points were the first episodes being moderately boring and the mediocre animations.

Voted for Ano Hana and now I wonder who was the other person that voted for this show (sir/lady, you have a fine fine taste! ;).

After 4 episodes, I'm starting to really like Deadman Wonderland and C. Ao no Exorcist drags a bit behind them in terms of enjoyment. First 2 eps of Ao were damn good, but 3rd and 4th one kind of let me down. Less talking, more fighting please!
