The board was down when we would usually make the seasonal thread, so here it is a tad belated.
What's everyone watching? What do you think is good? What's garbage? Best OP? Is your favorite seiyuu in something? Did they butcher a perfectly good manga/game by making the anime? Whatever you want to talk about, post it here. Cause discussion is cool and we can't have a thread for every series.
Five weeks into the season, here's my status:
Series I'm watching (in part or in full):
-CLANNAD
-D.C. II
-Genshiken II
-Gosyusho-sama Ninomiya-kun
-Kimikiss
-Myself; Yourself
-Night Wizard THE ANIMATION
-Rental Magica
-Shakugan no Shana Second
-Shion no Ou
-Sketchbook ~full color's~
Series I should get around to:
-Bamboo Blade
-Mokke
-Moyashimon
Series I would recommend: CLANNAD, Night Wizard, Rental Magica, Sketchbook.
Has promise: Shion no Ou
I like it, but it's not fabulous (at least not yet): D.C. II
Galge-based, so I watch some, but they'll probably be mediocreish: Kimikiss, Myself; Yourself
OK, and only watch if you've seen the first series: Shakugan no Shana Second, Genshiken II
Probably not worth it: Gosyusho-sama Ninomiya-kun
Pretty good season...
Tops for this season:
1. Kaiji KAIJI KAIJI!
2. Bamboo Blade
3. Moyashimon
4. Sketchbook
5. Minami-ke
6. Clannad
7. Shion no Ou
8. Genshiken2
May check out rental magica...

CLANNAD - If you're not watching this already, you should be shot. (Or Tomoyo kicked, whatever the case may be)
Gosyusho-sama Ninomiya-kun - This is one of those series that is so bad, it's ok kind of deal. Nothing interesting here.
Shakugan no Shana II - Starting out pretty slow, but let's hope for something nowhere near Zero no Tsukaima 2's ending.
Minami-ke - I'm... not too impressed right now to be honest. Quite normal, as they state, but somewhat entertaining. I get Ichigo Marshimaro or Azumanga vibes from it.
Myself; Yourself - This is turning out pretty entertaining. Looks like your standard galge "return to the city" bit, but who doesn't enjoy a good romp through that.
Shugo Chara - This series is... somewhat entertaining. You see the age group its aimed for, but it's substantial. Just don't expect anything epic as a Mahou Shoujo run through and you're set.
Genshiken 2 - Get hype. It's awesome, the manga's being followed through to a key (Kio Shimoku, the manga-ka, directs), and the art hasn't failed.... yet. Ogiue > Ohno. Yes, those are fighting words.
I'm quite behind due to college obligations, but those are my thoughts for now.
~Chun
As I don't have terribly a lot of time to check things out...
Just:
Shakugan no Shana season 2
Shugo Chara!
Clannad

Suteki Tantei Labyrinth
Ghost Hound
I'm not caught up with anything right now... I finished El Cazador the other day and I'm attempting to catch up with Higurashi... at which point I'll start CLANNAD.
No idea what else to watch.
Currently working on Minami-ke ("Sensei!"/"Ninomiya-kun! Ninomiyakunninomiyakunninomiyakun!" and CLANNAD (FUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKO). I'll be also taking a look at Genshiken 2, Sketchbook, and Bamboo Blade, but they're not on my 'active' list yet.

-Prism Ark (Sorta. Not many episodes are subbed yet.)
Actually all 5 episodes are subbed. But the first two are by one group and 3-5 by another group... -.-; Most of these came out in the last week. But yeah.. subs for this series are rather inconsistent.

Then again, I'm not sure if I'm willing to follow the series. So much happened in one god damned episode, and it wasn't very entertaining. XD;
Being a fan of the game, I r disappointed. ;__;
I suppose I'm late, but whatev.
Kaiji. Are there only just 2 people who are watching this show?
Moyashimon
*Sketchbook
*CLANNAD
*Minami-ke
*Bamboo Blade
I have Mokke, ef, KimiKiss downloaded, but ne'r started them. I'm still watching stuff from past season. Like I finished Kiki's Delivery Service after like 48945163 years. Also should catch up on Overdrive and Oofuri and Zetsen...
Anime with asterisk mean that I haven't watched the latest subbed one =P. [I know that's a lot]
Kaiji and Akagi are all you need in life anyway.
j
You know, I think I'll finish Bartender. Man, I was all like "Nuuuuuuuuuu I don't want it to end" but now it's like "Darn I never got round to finishing it"
And yeah watched Kaiji ep 6. Awwwwwwwwwww yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh yeah, forgot to mention Minami-ke my first post. And I would recommend it.
To make discussion: what are people's picks for OPs and EDs this season?
I'm liking: CLANNAD OP/ED, Kimikiss OP, Minami-ke OP, Night Wizard OP, Rental Magica OP/ED, Shana Second OP, Sketchbook ED

LOVING Clannad OP/ED.
I'm so busy, I'm only watching Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro and Moyashimon. I'll get around to watching Genshiken 2 one of these days. I was trying to watch Saiunkoku 2, but there's only 6 episodes subbed. :'(
Let's see, been paying attention to:
-Genshiken 2
-Suteki Tantei Labyrinth
-Dragonaut: The Resonance
-Rental Magica
Looking forward to Rosario+Vampire in January.
Wow someone else's watching Moyashimon.
About OP/ED
Moyashimon OP/ED, Kaiji OP/ED, Sketchbook OP, CLANNAD ED...
Edit: Finished Bartender. God that was satisfying.

You mean 11, right?
Wow. Shuugo Chara looks hella weird and cheesy, animated. Peach-Pit's art is superior in manga, but this is still cute all the same. @__@
Watched one episode of Shion no Ou. Since I don't know jackshit about Mahjong, the epicness was lost. Going to push it down in my pref list ; ; I'll watch it, but I'll give more preference to CLANNAD [HOSHIZ NEED TO CATCHUP!], Sketchbook, Minami-ke, Moyashimon, Kaiji [listed in no particular order]

No no, it's shogi. Not mahjong.
Okay shogi it is. Doesn't make a bit of difference
Majin tantei Nougami Neuro (Demon Detective Neuro Nougami)
this anime is funny and cool.

I take this back. The ones by OSA were friggin fakes. Its rather cruel to do that to a series with practically no subs. What's up with all these fake subs this season? I feel insulted by this. At least have the decency to say that they're parodies. [/end rant]
Added to my list is Minami-ke. Dunno how I forgot about that one... -.-;

It gets better in the series. There were a few episodes that were a bit slow, in my opinion, but it's great afterwards. I like the new female character that showed up recently in the recent episodes. I can't spoil here. Things are starting to pick up closely to the novel.
Dropped:
Kodomo No Jikan. Ep 6 was actually cool. Episodes 7 and beyond, I cannot stand the censorships anymore!!!

I recently marathoned it myself. It's a bit too over-the-top and definitely a bit much to take in the kind of 20ish episode chunk I took it in. Overall, very GAINAX. It was definitely worth the watch, but not extraordinary.
