Hi Guys, looking for some recommendations in any good anime released in 2012. Ive seen a few but ive missed Spring/Summer animes so far. Fate/Zero is on my list. Anything else I should consider?

Thanks.

Sakamichi no Apollon and Uchuu Kyoudai are the best shows of the spring season.

If you're interested in sports then Kuroko no Basuke is also a great choice.

Fate/Zero is probably the best of 2012.

Jormungand
Accel World
Sakamichi no Apollon
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
Sword Art Online

Those are my personal favorites.

Oh my god, your list design is wonderful.

Sakamichi no Apollon and Natsuyuki Rendezvous are the only ones that I really recommend. Other than that, maybe you could check out Sword Art Online, Bakuman 2 (since you watched the first season), Another, and Kuroko no Basket (it's better than it looks).

Chouyaku Hyakuninisshu: Uta Koi. Sleeper hit of this season and I'd say the best title of the past year even if it's not finished yet.

Other than that... Sword Art Online is going to turn into the Guilty Crown of summer 2012. Good for some laughs eh?

I'm gonna recommend stuff from Fall 2011, there wasn't much good shows for me this year.

Uchuu Kyoudai/Space Brothers (Spring 2012) - It's a really great warm anime.
Hunter x Hunter (Fall 2011) - It's somehow different from other shounen and it just entered its best arc so far. It's a remake by Madhouse.

These 2 are the highlights of the last 3 seasons in my list, both are still on-going.

Here are other recs:

Fall 2011:
Bakuman S2 - It was better than season 1 imo, season 3 is gonna air this fall.
Mirai Nikki - If you can stand an annoying MC and a yandere then give it a shot, it's good.
Ben-to - A battle over Ben-to, it's episodic but a good watch, had some decent action.

Spring 2012:
Kuroko no Basket - A good basketball anime.

Summer 2012:
Sword Art Online - An MMORPG anime, it's one of the most anticipated anime this season.
Binbougami ga! - It's fun to watch.

- Jormungand

Was looking forward to this because I always wanted to read the anime but the translations were either really slow or non-existent. All I can say is that it was good, can't really comment on the other series cause I have not seen them.

Winter:
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
Nisemonogatari
Another
Guilty Crown (can't really say, since I haven't seen it, but I hear good things)
Mirai Nikki

Spring:
Fate/Zero
Sakamichi no Apollon
Sankarea
Uchuu Kyoudai
Kuroko no Basket

Summer:
Kokoro Connect
Sword Art Online
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Binbougami ga!

I'd say Kids on the Slope, Space Brothers and Sword Art Online have been my favorites. The others, Fate/Zero and Kokoro Connect are great too of course. But I'd wait for Fall for the good stuff.
