Attack on Titan is not worth bothering with. Entertaining, but you'll see why.
I am watching Space Brothers (Uchu Kyodai) and right now, it's my favorite anime.
Only others I am watching is One Piece, Naruto Shippuden and Toriko. (What a surprise, huh?)

They need to stop only making 11 episodes per season of Gin no Saji.
All of the anime that I watch is done except for Dia no Ace, but I just cheated and started reading the manga instead. At least that gives me time to finally go back and catch up on Gundam Unicorn.

Yes, it is. It lags the worst in the middle-ish part of the show, but on a whole there are still way too many worthless introspective flashback parts.
EDIT: omg

Agreed.
Also Yamato 2199 is a pretty good remake. They added some shipboard intrigue and flashbacks that shed some backstory on Kodai's brother that I don't believe was in the original series.

Yes I have! I love it. Although I find the movie super duper fantastic. Also, do you have a MAL account? If yes could you post it?

no idea what mal is.
I think the movie is flawed. You are not going to get anything out of it unless you have seen the series.

I've noted a few of the series that I'm going to check out, but I've only watched two so far...
Baby Steps - I've always been a bit of a sucker for a good sports anime... especially if it's done well. Baby Steps is a series about an incredibly studious kid that decides to try out tennis as a means to keep active in between his studies. There's only one episode available at this point, but I liked what I saw. There's a good light-hearted tone, and I think I'll keep watching this one.
Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to - This series has each episode comprised of multiple 3-4 minute shorts that each follow a relatively simple plot. The show is centered around a mangaka (manga artist) of an ero-manga (perverted manga). As you can probably guess, the guy is a pretty big perv himself, and he's just all around awkward. That awkwardness is usually kept front and center in his interactions with his assistant and his editor. In the first short, he asks his assistant to grope herself to help him create a visual for an accidental grope scene (happens often in ecchi). His editor is your typical character for the lolicons. Overall, I'm not too sure about this series. I don't mind a little perverted humor, but the main character is almost too eccentric for me.
A couple of the other series that I'm looking at are... Blade & Soul, Black Bullet, Captain Earth, Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro, Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Seikoku no Dragonar, and Soul Eater NOT!. There's also the continuation of Dragon Ball Kai, which picks up with the rest of DBZ (Buu saga). I'm curious what sort of things they will cut as they cut a significant number of things from the first three sagas.

this seasons standouts for me:
hitsugi no chaika: fantasy/european/sengoku era, girl with magic rifle goes looking for body parts with brother sister ninja mercenaries in tow. high quality animation/art, very light gag genre, utterly charming dialogue gimmick for main girl.
ping pong the animation: highschool ping pong team, (prince of tennis, initial d, battle genre)highly stylized rotoscope animation, surprisingly bad ass. voice acting and dialogue is the strong point.
Haikyuu: think prince of volleyball, initial V. nice animation/art, dialogue is solid, 2 protagonists need to learn teamwork arc will likely take forever to be resolved.
No game no life: brother sister neet gamers transported to fantasy world where everything is settled by bets on games. gag format punctuated by math/probability/game theory battles. very light, fun time.
soul eater not: looks like it will steer clear of any of the main soul eater main plot and just linger in the cutesy high school life of 3 girls. pretty looking but nothing impressive yet.
majin bone: out of all the card game based kid shows this season this one looks like it actually has a plot. high schooler gets power to access dragon spirit. everyone has armor like something from tiger and bunny or gatchman-crowds.
black bullet: post bio monster/virus apocalypse walled city, little girls with powers fighting monsters and humans. nice looking animation, some ominous scenes with big bad, but i cant really see any real hook that will hold long term.
break blade TV: re-versioned format of 6ep ova with new scenes following closer to manga. not sure if it will continue past where ova left off, now that the manga has more chapters in the can.
captain earth: from makers of star driver, kid gets special power from magic pistol allowing him to pilot giant mecha and defend earth from aliens. most likely set in near earth orbit. its like a giant throwback homage to some of the cheesy corny 80's series but i kinda works.
Kinghts of sidonia: future colony space ship navigating galaxy of giant bio monsters. teens pilot giant mecha. 3dcg for everything, retro 80's nasa spacesuits and cockpits. manga is pretty good but they may not have enough chapters to avoid overtaking, so either it will end in filler or drag out the shortest arc.
mekakucity actors: not sure how to describe this one, art style looks like monogatari series very clean graphic art style. neet gets caught up in some intrigue.
ryuugajou nanana no maizoukin: my one non action series pick, student gets suckered into renting room haunted by girl ghost.

I checked out a few more new series since my last post:
Blade & Soul - Eh, I have to say that I didn't have high hopes for this series based upon the poster art, and I wasn't wrong. The show starts off with almost an Elfen Lied sort of feel where you encounter this absolute bad ass of a girl. The problem is that this girl doesn't really have any emotions and barely speaks. She just isn't very interesting. The fight scenes are also somewhat short and lacking in some good, dramatic tension. The one thing that annoyed me the most about this one was some poor direction in regard to cutting. One of my pet peeves in videos is useless scenes. I shouldn't see a scene in a video and wonder what purpose it served. This anime suffered from that.
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - I really wasn't too sure what to expect from this one, but before watching it, I was sold on the comedy, romance, school tags. I thought the first episode started off a little slow, but it definitely picked up a lot more toward the end. The characters are... "unique"... to the point where I'd probably argue that the main character is the blandest one. That doesn't mean he is awful, but just not as colorful. This series reminds me a lot of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.
Captain Earth - You know that a series that puts something along the lines of "don't worry, all will be explained" in the a-b part cards is probably going to irritate me. One thing that I usually dislike is when video games, anime, movies, TV shows or most other things just dump tons of terms and information on you, but they usually fail to give any sort of explanation to things. I don't really know much other than the dude has this weird gun that they called a weird name, and he pilots this mecha that attaches to three other parts to form his larger mecha, which he uses to fight evil moon people. I might give this one a few more episodes, but if it continues the "let's keep people in the dark so we seem mysterious" charade, I will just stop.
Black Bullet - I wasn't expecting to like this one much, but I was surprised that I ended up being rather interested in it. Now, I wasn't drawn in by the story so much as the characters. While I always find the loli stuff a bit on the creepy side, the characters are still fun to watch. The beginning is a bit weird as they don't tell you much about what's going on until later in the episode... with a somewhat unnecessary exposition monologue right at the end.
Abarenbou Kishi!! Matsutarou - I don't like it. The series seems to be banking off the main character being utterly unlikable, which they did a great job with, because I don't like the character. The problem is... if I don't like the character (because he's a giant douche), then why would I watch a show about him? I will admit that I did find a few of the moments to be a bit amusing, and you could see where they're setting up the main character as this super-strong guy. I'm debating whether I want to give it an episode or two more to see if it gets better when he's actually a sumo wrestler, because he isn't one even at the end of the first episode.
Next on my list of things to watch...
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Seikoku no Dragonar
Soul Eater NOT!
Knights of Sidonia
I'll also be watching the second season of DATE A LIVE, but since that's just a continuation of the first, I probably won't talk about it.
