Bakuman - You probably read the manga and expected it to be awesome? Well, you're wrong. It's horrible, boring and just down right awful. You didn't read the manga? Well read it, an disregard this anime.

Durarara!! - Overhyped. You could find my comment on this in the previous page.

Peacemaker Kurogane - Dont, just Don't. @_@ VERY slow pacing, EXTREMELY pointless plot that will get NOWHERE.

Samurai Deeper Kyo - I liked the first episode, as I went further and further, it continuously got more horrible. I consider it a very shitty attempt at putting some of Japan's history characters in anime.

There are quite others but you might enjoy them.

Jigoku Shoujo. It's not terrible but it's extremely repetitive, which can get boring at some point.

Wow! You've got some good stuff in the works.

There are a few "not yet aired" that hold little interest for me personally but, thanks to looking to your list, I did add Zetman to mine ..... but that has nothing to do with the topic. ;-)

I sorta liked Kamisama Doll but it was kind of all over the place and a bit of a disappointment.

Rental Magica - It's average. Simple as that. Various cliche inside a mixture of magical. Concept isn't too bad, but sometimes, execution is lacking. It can still be an enjoyable watch depending on taste.
Blood-C - There's a good reason for all the hate aimed at this one. It's bad. Just bad. Characters are annoying as f*ck.
Blue Drop - Average shojo-ai. Alien invasion is seemingly less important than school life.
Un-Go - failing at detectives series is very popular nowadays.

Don't watch 11eyes. You, yourself, have only two eyes so don't go ruining them by watching this crap. While it's not the worst thing I've watched, it comes pretty close (I have to try Mars of Destruction then..).

The Shin Angyo Onshi movie was pretty mediocre since it was horribly rushed and poorly executed. It doesn't hold a candle to the original manhwa which features very excellent art and more of a plot.

Meh, I'd have to say Pandora Hearts. I enjoyed it, a lot. Until they threw in 3 filler episodes and left 90% of our questions unanswered. The artwork is mediocre for an anime of it's time. You'll often see Alice's hair standing up in random places (Did I mention how exaggerated her hair even is?)

It's quite enjoyable, but don't expect anything to be resolved by the end of the series if you decide not to take my advice. If you're still interested in it, try reading the manga. It's publishing atm.

Gunslinger Girl - This wasn't very interesting. I coudn't tell 2 of the characters apart, they didn't really explain some things as much as I would've wished, and the ending was just odd... /8.

No.6 - My God, I hate this. They didn't explain jack shit. The characters were bad, and I hate Shion. So much. The entire thing was just bad. I've heard the novel was good, though, because even I can tell this served absolutely no justice whatsoever to the original work. However, it is because I hated it so much that I loved the final episode so much. If you want to experience 10 episodes of tears, hatred, and pain followed by 1 episode of pure win and stupid hillarity, you might like this. The last episode was just so ridiculous and stupid, I was laughing so much at them all. So I can't say I completely hate it, all because of episode 11. ^^V

Azumanga Daioh is really bad. Many people find it funny. I find it tedious, shallow, and dull. A waste of time.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is as shitty/marvellous as the first series, depending on your own taste.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a very mediocre and cheap shounen series, at least for the first 20 episodes.
Millennium Actress is a rather uninteresting movie with great visuals but poor story. Didn't impress me.
Gedo Senki is far from being the best Ghibli movie. Forgettable. Nothing special or remarkable.
The Sky Crawlers is good... for insomniacs. One of the most boring movies around.
Clamp In Wonderland is just a pointless bunch of music and colours.
Arisa is the average hentai. Not bad, but not good neither.

11eyes ~ Waste. Of. Time. No other words.
Blood-C ~ I really liked it, but it's one of those shows that no one else liked and for some reason, I doubt it would be your kind of thing. But I could be wrong... *Shrug*
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt ~ I hated this with a passion. Personally, I would never recommend it. But it was popular, so I seem to be in the minority.

I didn't read your entire PTW list but i still have a few things to say about it.

I don't recommend watching School Days because when I finished it, it left me emotionally scarred, borderline depressed, and absolutely shocked. I'll even go into details for you - there are some serious plot twists in the last few episodes and I won't guarantee that they'll have a negative effect on you, but they'll definitely have an effect. That said, I don't think I'm respectable enough on this website yet for someone like you with an enormous list and over a thousand post to heed my warnings, so if you and I were in one another's shoes after reading this reply then I'd just watch it for the shitz.

I also noticed that you have both H2O: Footprints in the Sand and sola on your PTW list. Both, in my opinion, are wannabe Key anime, and my philosophy is that once I've seen one wannabe Key, I've seen them all. If you also wish to follow this philosophy then pick and choose one to watch and don't watch the other one. If you watch both you'll find that they're similar in at least a few ways.

Thanks for reading this super long reply.

Lucky Star can only be classified as moeblob garbage. It's not funny nor cute. More like brainless, pathetic, and annoying.
Full Metal Alchemist is a mediocre shounen that is overrated beyond words. Tries to be moving, but fails. When it tries to be humorous, it also fails. Overall, it fails.

Kirepapa - it's just... bad
Vampire Knight Guilty - well if you like something like Twilight i guess it would be enjoyable.. but seriously, if you're really that interested in vampire knight just stick with the manga;)
also Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru - mediocre at it's best.. i've started watching it a while ago.. i don't think i'll ever get back to it.. it's so cheesy c_c well, the only reason to watch it is probably because of the "eye-candy" you recieve.. at least, the guys do look hot. nevertheless, the main character (yuki) annoys the heck out of me. he's so whiny and... yeah, totally weak and actually useless..
actually there is no real story.. i really wouldn't bother with this show ^^

Chrono Crusade, DNAngel, Mermaid Melody, Tsubasa, and Yami No Matsuei are all very mediocre and cliché anime. Judging by your list and ratings, you don't seem to like mediocrity, therefore these anime are not worthy of your time.

Maybe give it a shot and see if it gets better, but trust me, it doesn't.

Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage - Badass shit, just remember to watch the prequel first..

Ergo Proxy - I have mixed feeling about this, but it's definitely worth a watch.
It's setting alway's reminds me of fallout. I love fallout.

FMA & FMA:B - Best shonen show i've ever watched, not that i'm any fan of shonen in general but this is a must watch. Recommend you to watch them both, although i liked brotherhood more some people seem to prefer the first one.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica - This shit is more than it seems i tell you. If you haven't already, be sure not to be spoiled about anything.

Steins;Gate - Definite must watch. One of the best things i've ever watched, ever. Ranks #2 on AnimeNewsNetwork, (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/ratings-anime.php) got to mean something right? :Þ

It's not that I dropped them, it's that I listed all the ones I have ever seen, like on cable. Sometimes the network changes the schedule or I miss an episode, or in case of Cartoon Network, the entire channel goes away, so I never saw a lot of those again.

I recently tried Boku Wa Tomodachi, and couldn't get past Yozora's nasty behavior, and the fanservice. But since there are people who like those kinds of things I can see why it's popular.

Same goes for Nanoha, what with the loli fanservice and tendency to solve everything with beamspam. But I've heard that one at gets much better after episode seven.

You have only 5 anime in your PTW list, and the only one I've seen is Utena.
I don't recommend it to everyone, because, well, it's not for everyone. It's a peculiar anime, interesting at times, but with plenty of flaws. Try to watch a few episodes, then decide.

Maze. I dunno, I was never able to finish it, it was one of those series that broke my younger self's notion that all anime was good. So if younger self's lower standards didn't like it, I can't imagine I'd like it any more today. I remember the characters all being one note boring tropes and the main girl being annoying and the fairy being the third most annoying fairy behind Navi and that fairy from Garzey's Wing. I really can't think of any good reason to watch it, and with a PTW list as long as yours, this can get dropped if you ask me.

Don't watch No. 6. The best thing about it was the homo-erotic tension (which I admit, was well-executed;
A below average anime in almost every regard, No. 6 somehow feels rushed and padded at the same time. I could rant about how bad the ending is, but I'll just tell you it's bad instead (KiraboShikari knows it).

You have several good anime in your PTW. The ones I absolutely don't recommend are:
Claymore: It's mediocre at best, in terms of animation, story, characters, enjoyment, everything. Emotionless splatter galore, that's about it.
Kuroshitsuji: Are you either a fangirl or gay? If not, you have no reason to watch this missed abortion. Yaoi undertones, stupid comedy attempts, loathsome characters, awful ending. Easily one of the most shallow, distasteful anime I've ever seen.
One Piece: Unless you love anything shounen, avoid this garbage like plague. It might be decent at the beginning, but it gets worse and worse.

Higurashi Kira is a must avoid, unless you're big on traditional Magical Girl anime, then the second episode could be entertaining. I loved the original series and Kai, so it's painful to see what the franchise has become. Mostly fanservice.

Madoka Magica. Maybe I'm just too far on the idealistic side, but I couldn't stand how this show went so far into the cynical side, constantly going on about how the world is hopeless and bleak. Not to mention it seemed like this show cared more about shocking the audience than writing a decent story. The constant barrage of dark, depressing and shock value got stale quickly.
