AF has defeated his own drunken stupor to bring you a post of utter importance and relevance:
watch anything and not judge a book by its cover.
to watch:
Deadman Wonderland - because the manga is awesome
Appleseed XIII - don't worry, this is almost certainly as awesome as the original Appleseed. trust me on this, I have a gut feeling.
Steins' Gate - the fact the art is directed by Huke* makes it all worth it.
Ao no Exorcist - why hello there Keikashi version 3.
Maria Holic Alive - COSPLAY ANGEL COSPLAY ANGEL
The World God Only Knows - certainly if you enjoy the first season, it is a good idea
Hanasaku Iroha - SEX HAIR SEX HAIR SEX HAIR GOD I LOVE HER HAIR HOW DO I GET HAIR LIKE HERS
Hen Zemi - sounds about good, Hen Zemi has a huge following as it is.
Questionable:
Tea for Universe, Tea for Life - definitely a selection for the ambitious, this is a show about tea, expect shenanigans and complex tea terms that are overly complicated because the Japanese have nothing else they can be proud of.
The money of Soul and whatever - This sounds like Wall Street, the anime. and mixing Gainax x Gonzo antics with it.
Fireball Charming - this smells so disney, and happy endlings... but I watch it because I heard the first Fireball was good
The Bridge to Starry Skies - while adhering to the girls cover comment, this one is actually promising because the game is rather attractive, the CD specials also promise something akin to Akaneiro.
Sofuteni - reminds me of Seitokai Ichizon, sounds about right
Aria the Scarlet Ammo - this is half and half, it sounds harem and probably is, but the art is by one of my fav artists leading the project so I am putting it on the list.
really questionable:
Moshidora - using Drucker management techniques on a baseball theme? this sounds... I dunno, weird.
Tiger and Bunny - it is a robot show/superhero show with a weird name. the PV doesn't seem all that promising either.
Under the Innocent Sky - needless to say I agree with Jigglypuff's view if it is a girl on the cover you don't wanna see it on this one.
Xmen - nothing that MAD HOUSE did was good. except maybe Ironman, but even that was draggy. seriously drop this.
Abnormal studies and whatever- ok, so it is sex with perverted teacher thing in a group, sounds cool and all, but nah
Lotte no Omocha! - this feels like... I dunno, that anime with what sexually aspirated 10 year olds or something in a kindergarten what-it's-called I have no idea.
I really dunno what to think:
Qwaser 2 : okay, so the story for the manga is really intense, dark and bloody, but the anime seems like a totally different world. to be fair, I am intensely insulted by how season 1 ended but I cannot foresee myself not giving season 2 a chance to convince me it was as good as it could have been from the manga.
Health and Physical 30 years olds - okay, this is odd. really odd. It reminds me of the gag manga by the guys who got you the mahjong politicians manga some might remember clearly, that 30 year old virgins become magicians and shit. is this an anime teaching you how to fap to lolis? I dunno/
This season's biggest disappointment:
NOT ENOUGH TRAPS EXCEPT FOR STEINS GATE AND MARIA HOLIC CONFIRMED
