So my initial impressions of this season were WAY off. And I'm glad for it. This is looking like the best season a in long while.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu - Very funny. Interesting "version" of paintball.
Arslan Senki - Holdover from from the spring season. Still going strong.
Charlotte - PA Works animation + good story (for a change) + drama = goodness.
Durararararaa - Part 2, booya~
Gakkou Gurashi! - Still skeptical on this one, but the last episode had a lot more zombies. Zombies are good.
Gangsta - The type of action drama that I crave.
GATE - AOTS for me. Calling it this early. Assuming it has a mostly faithful adaptation. Rory!
God Eater - Gorgeous animation style. Plot seems iffy, but the action works for me.
Joukamachi no Dandelion - Unusual comedy. And it has Hanazawa.
Miss Monochome S2 - I don't know why I like this, but I do. OP and ED are much worst than S1's though.
Overlord - Most likely to be dropped. Kind of burnt out on the "stuck in a MMO" anime. Decent enough to give it a couple of more episodes though.
Prison School - My guilty pleasure. Horribly rushed, censored. Don't care, it's hilarious!
Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace - Dark and creepy. Reminds me of an early arc from Psycho-Pass.
Rokka no Yuusha - Generic. Also likely to be dropped. But for now it's amusing enough to watch.

... yeah so I'm kind of watching a lot this season I'll probably stall out on 3-4 of them and marathon them after they finish. This is too much to keep up with otherwise.

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: Character animation can be off at some times but the scenery is pretty darned beautiful. I'm generally a fan of this manga anyway, so I'm happy with it so far.
Aoharu x Kikanjuu: I'm dropping it after 2 episodes. Once it's finished I'll have a proper look.
Dragon Ball Chou / Super / Whatever they named it: DB has always been a blessing. Except for GT.
Gangsta: Precious children must protect, fav of this season easily. Op and ed favs as well.
Gate: Jieitai kanochi nite bla bla: Looks good so far. Gonna stick around and watch it.
God Eater: Sound is meh, animation is interesting, story isn't too much new. Still, seems interesting enough to watch.

That's all that I am watching at th emoment. Might give Ranpo Kitan, Rokka no Yuusha and Kangoku Gakuen a chance.

Overlord, Rokka no Yussha, Monster Munsume, and the Ushio to Tora reboot are pretty good. I like the concept of Overlord the best though (he's stuck in the game world, and decides to conquer it with his minions)

I don't even have to watch the next 11 episodes to say this.[/quote]

At this point, it probably is NNB S2. I'm liking Charlotte but they really need to create some drama/tension in the next episode, it's key though so I'm already expecting some but I wish it would be sooner.

I've only seen a few and so far:
To Love Ru Darkness 2nd: Couldn't get passed 5 minutes because light rays of censor. I guess I'll wait for BDs.
Monster Musume: what the hell did I just watch...DROPPED
Charlotte: The art style and OST really does remind me of Angel Beats.
Rokka no Yuusha: The main character becomes this bad ass hero who will save the day. It's not like we've seen this trope a million times already...I'm not really digging the fantasy vibe either.
Gangsta: It's not a cutesy fluffball fanservice harem type anime. I like it. This seems like AOTS material.

So far Monster Musume is my AOTS surprisingly because fanservicey shows never makes me go AOTS.

Ranpo Kitan is probably the show/OP i like most so far. Aoharu and Gatchaman also have great OPs and are good shows.

I can't really explain it, but a lot of shows this season have just been putting me off. I'll probably try them out later when I truly have nothing else to do.
