Ah, guess I answered my own question, as I found this: https://myanimelist.net/news/54729291
Although, this is still missing a bunch, like Gun Gale Alternate... still unsure of who might be carrying that in the US...

MHA: more overhyped generic shounen crap with feels, sakuga and pretty colors. People who say this show redefines the shounen genre are wrong and need to grow up
Stein's Gate: DUDUDUUU and here we go with more time resets and a needless story to a show that already got decent closure, what could possibly go wrong? (not to mention we already know the end...) - reeks of cashgrab SONOVABITCH!
Tokyo Ghoul: first two seasons were crap (thanks Pierrot!), what could possibly go wrong? - just stick to the manga
Food Wars: more food porn and pretty colors
SAO Alternative: a MOE version of SAO, need I say more?
High School DxD: just stick to hentai or proper porn
Persona5: it's A1 pictures...
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: see Persona5
Fullmetal Panic: earlier seasons were good, if Xebec gives it the Yamato treatment this could be good
Devil's Line: Looks like Tokyo Ghoul and Twilight got in bed together for this one
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Let's cram a decade of 110 OVAs into a 12ep series, what could possibly go wrong?
Golden Kamuy: This actually might be good, though I've never heard of Studio Geno and source material is ongoing
Captain Tsubasa: So we're getting a remake of an old soccer anime instead of Jojo part5, really?
Megalo Box: If this is anywhere near Ashita no Joe then it could be good, but it's a sports anime so I'm not getting my hopes up
Lupin III: do people still care about Lupin?
Souten no Ken: CGI Fist of the North Star! Because Berserk 2016 was so amazing!
I could go on but simply put this season doesn't look as good as people are making it out to be

I'm also awaiting Inazuma Eleven: Ares. I guess it's a "kids" show by definition (as to why it's not on here), despite every fan outside of Japan being not a kid. Seems legit. Sadly, it most likely won't get officially licensed in the US.
I'll give SAO a go. What could possibly go wrong?
Other than that, I'll dabble in what original series there are. If any hold my attention, I'll give them a watch.

Honestly, the manga adaptations look the most impressive so far but some of the other shows has potential too.
Mar 20, 2018 4:05 AM by Stark700
Very hyped :
Amanchu! Advance (First season was one of my favorite anime of all times)
Should be interesting :
Steins;Gate 0
Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season
Megalo Box
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou
Captain Tsubasa
Will give these a try :
Hisone to Masotan
Golden Kamuy
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
Waka Okami wa Shougakusei!
Hinamatsuri
Tachibana-kan to Lie Angle (too bad it's a short)
Mar 19, 2018 8:27 PM by hgeronimo
Watching:
My Hero Academia S3 (Obviously)
Devils Line (A dark romance tail always peques my interest)
Saredo Tsumibito wa Ryuu to Odoru (Looks cool. But also very worried)
Golden Kamuy (Heard a lot about the Manga, might aswell give it a try)
Magical Girl Site (Another Dark Mahou Shojou)
Hisone and Maso-tan (Bones Original Show)
Continuing:
Darling in the Franxx (Interesting Ideas but it needs to ramp up)
Beatless (It's been a drag to watch this show, but last episode was alright)
Maybe:
Sword Art Online Alternative (Sword Art online has a tendancy for me for half of the show to be good. Since this is one cour, I hope that its a GOOD cour)
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii (The premise seems so dull idk)
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou (I'm always cautious on Sci-Fi shows)
Not watching:
High School DxD 4 (Not into the series anymore)
No strong feelings on everything else
Mar 19, 2018 7:09 PM by SeasideLua
So many good looking shows!
The first two weeks of April is gonna be pretty busy.
My personal watching schedule is as follows:
Kitaro on the 1st
Tsubasa and Triamisu on the 3rd
Lupin III on the 4th
Hinamtsuri & Megalo Box on the 6th
My Hero Academia on the 7th
Cutie Honey Universe, Persona 5, & Professor Laton on the 8th
Golden Kamuy on the 9th
And Gurazeni... whenever that starts, lol.
Might throw in Piano no Mori for good measure, not sure yet.
This is the most I've wanted to watch from a season of anime than I can remember since I started watching anime season-by-season (in 2012)

No way I'm going to skip these:
Aikatsu Friends! - obviously
HeroAca S3 - do I need to say why?
Continuing from last season:
Hugtto Precure! - got me interested in Precure in general, which is the main reason this season won't be so packed for me
Beatless - not sure about this, at least it's watchable for now
(Franxx - I'll pick it back up when it becomes good again)
Interested:
Golden Kamuy - heard good things about the manga, interesting premise, especially for a history nerd like me
Hisone to Maso-tan - it can be anything, looks like a very unique original anime, also Kurosawa Tomoyo is voicing a delinquent :D
Comic Girls - Kirara of the season, so it can't be bad
Uma Musume - cute horses doing cute things
Gegege no Kitarou - a classic, it would be a great place to get into it for me
Tada-kun - original romance anime with a character from a country barely represented in any media, let alone in anime
Megalobox - Ashita no Joe in a future post-apocalyptic setting, count me in
Not sure:
LoGH - the space battles look great, but not sure about the character designs, definitely looks like to be divisive amongst the fans
SAO Gungale - on one hand, it looks interesting and also done by 3hz, one of my favorite studios, on the other hand, I'm less than interested in SAO in general, I'll check it out if it can be watched separately
Lupin III Part V - looks interesting but I haven't watched any Lupin before, hopefully it's newbie-friendly
Mar 17, 2018 10:24 AM by gomennasai
What I want to know is when Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (Rising of the Shield Hero) is coming out.
Mar 17, 2018 8:19 AM by Jak

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (I will probably watch, cute girls running sound interesting)
Uchuu Senkan Tiramisù (it looks like shit, but I'm might watch 1st episode to see what it is about)
3D Kanojo: Real Girl (I'm not fan of non-echii romance, but since it has kiss in PV I might check this)

Tachibanakan Triangle (I will probably watch because it looks like an echii show)
Aikatsu Friends
Comic Girls

Saredo Tsumibito wa Ryuu to Odoru (most likey will watch it because the PV looks great and I'm action fan)

Major 2nd (I did not watch original Major, but this Major 2nd have different characters, so I think I can watch it without watching the original)
Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File (sound like a kid show, but I'm might check it)
Nil Admirari no Tenbin: Teito Genwaku Kitan ( i hope it is as good as Code:Realize)
Persona 5 the Animation (not fan if Persona, Persona 4 was overrated, and Persona 3 is average. I might still watch it)
Piano no Mori
Shiyan Pin Jiating
Souten no Ken Re:Genesis
Ladyspo (don't know much about this, but the cover has hot girls)
Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari (has cute girls, so I might watch)
Hisone to Maso-tan (I just hope is not like that boring show called Girls' Last Tour )
Some of the trash anime that I will never watch
Amanchu! Advance (boring slice of life trash)
Akkun to Kanojo (shit unfunny compedy)
Koneko no Chii: Ponponra Daibouken 2 (this is not look like an anime)
Continuing anime from winter
Darling in the FranXX
Nanatsu no Taizai 2
Grancrest Senki
Toji no Miko
Hakyuu Houshin Engi
Beatless
Black Clover
I think spring will be better than winter, and one of the reasons is that continuing anime from winter are still good
