Log Horizon - Can't care about the characters. No feasible stakes yet to get me invested. Pretty dull watch. This show had zero impact on me.

Yowamushi Pedal - CG CYCLING. Besides that stupid artistic choice, it's a pretty standard sports show but it's got just enough of a unique edge to slip into my usual watch pool. I also have a higher tolerance for sports titles than most others.

Will be playing catch-up over the next few days. Busy weekend means no anime for Mogsy.

Mogs if you can watch Diamond no Ace and say that you enjoy it, you have my praise.

Unbreakable Machine Doll: Yay, the light novel I have been looking forward to. Maybe because I like the novel so much, I am rating it harder than usual, but this show makes a lot of tradeoffs. Instead of having decent animation, there is excessive CG use, jumpy action actions (not fluid), and just lack of detail. However, this show has a good dialogue writer that took most of the novel's jokes and used them with some decent seiyuus, creating a very humorous series. While I do appreciate the humor, I am not really sure if the writer will keep me entertained or now, so keeping it as a blue.. (And srsly who names these episodes, don't just use the volume title and attach a number afterward)

Non Non Biyori: Silver Link learned that copying Shaft didn't make them money so they threw http://puu.sh/4KzUM.jpg and a nano.ripe op together to get ---> a lq iroha... with 4 koma elements. The show itself looks like Silver Link's budget show of the season with extremely slow pace scenes that just don't move, but the jokes themselves are sort of funny (usually the extremely stupid type of humor). In short, we have soemthing that combines Iroha with A-channel and not really much normal silver link.

Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta: Another low budget show for quartet. Oh well, introductory episode to introduce people, so I'll wait a bit.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel - Ars Nova: What is with this season and CG? This show looks like a slightly better Unbreakable Machine Doll with lots of CG attacks with missiles and battleships, but there are very few partcle effects or any realistic effect besides the end result when you see the attack (unlike Strike Witches where you can see every bullet). Beyond that, the show has potential, so just staying around.

Yowamushi Pedal: Yay more CG. Admittedly there is far less here, but you can see it in the biking scenes. Regardless, the storyline seems pretty standard, but the execution is not that funny, and the animation looks fairly bad in most scenes.....

Gundam Build Fighters: A MC that asks others to fight for them, performance based on quality of a build, and only passable fight scenes, dropped.

Ars Nova - I actually only knew about this due to nano posting the intro song on her Facebook page a month or two ago. Anyways, I'm not really sold on this anime. I like how it looks and the music is solid. However, so far, the story doesn't appeal to me. We'll see where it goes.

Strike The Blood - Not normally a fan of the supernatural vampire stuff, but decided to check it out anyway. Fan service moments feel completely unnecessary to me, but the rest looks okay. I'm willing to go a little more.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll - The first episode really quite exciting for me. Can't wait to see more.

Tokyo Ravens - Seems like a pretty stereotypical Supernatural-Shounen, yet I enjoyed it quite a lot. Am I too Romance-maniac ? ^^
Characters are cool and I liked the OSTs, animation quality is neat, I give this +1

Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai : Hmm.... I'm kinda confusing in the first part of the first Episode (Suddenly, the Protagonist facing A Problem in the Very First Place of the series)... But after that, makes Me think this will be A Good Series (Especially the Graphic, looks Semi-3D to Me)

Little Busters! ~Refrain : I've been waiting for this since the First Season ended... I read the Visual Novel of this, so I'm kinda curious If They'll screwed the Anime version (again)... But for the first episode, They seems not screwed Kurugaya's Route this time... Maybe I should check the later Episode...

Strike the Blood : I kinda prefer the Action Genre Series rather than anything this time... So Yeah, I enjoy this series...

Noucome - Waiting for this and my wait is somehow paid off. Intro too long imo and some choices are so random though it made me laugh. Will keep watching it.

Weeeeell...

Diamond no Ace - Yeah, admittedly, I'm pretty close to green on this one. The visual direction here is kinda 'meh', especially with the underemployed/sporadic usage of the diagonal facial shading like they do in Kuroko no Basuke. But, well, this is standard stuff. There's less to make it stand out like in Yowapeda, but it has heart and you can already tell that. I'm willing to give this two more episodes to see what kind of path it goes down, as far as being yet another baseball anime, but hey, I didn't hate my time watching it. Got a few small giggles out of the gags and while the main character is a brat, he's likable. Enjoyable but so far not-yet-unique baseball anime.

Kuroko no Basuke 2 - It's more Kuroko no Basuke. It's setting up another Generation of Miracles player right now and backstory provided for Taiga to better flesh him out as a character this time around is welcome. It's a bit more high-budget this time around, and I can't wait for the more intense games to showcase this. Excited that this is back on.

NouCome - Not a single joke landed. Potentially intriguing premise ruined by kitschy moe stereotypes, kitschy fanservice, and nothing happening. Man oh man, this is not funny.

Walkure Romanze - Ehm... jousting. Ok. I don't really know how I feel towards this, but I guess I can watch another few eps to see how it'll work out. That horse tho.

Tokyo Ravens - Fairly sure I've read a bit of the manga before, and that was fun. Let's see if it's going to be as enjoyable as the manga (I still don't get any of this spiritual thingy shit =\)

Infinite Stratos 2 - More Charl and Laura. What else do you need? Oh ye, Sarashiki twins~

Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai - Yaya is cute. Read the manga, read one or two volumes from the LN, it got me hooked. The art might need some time getting used to, but it's not that big of a deal.

Golden Time - Promising story with a bit of romance, I'll gladly watch this.

Outbreak Company - Spread the ways of the otaku! I wonder how exactly he's supposed to do it... interesting. Maid is cute, and that BGM is 10/10.

BlazBlue: Alter Memory: Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The animation is very nice and the VAs are good too. The fights in the first episode were not as exciting as I had hoped, but there is still time for them to pick up. It's off to a bit of a slow start, but then again, it's just a first episode. And just excited for this in general because BlazBlue.

BlazBlue - Alter Memory: I found the parts after the credit hilarious... this show just shows how bad animes adapted from figthing series can be with lots of static scenes and only 1 half decent fight scene... The humor wasn't the greatest, and the only thing redeeming about the show was the ost which was probably from the game

NouKome: WTF + fanservice..... Not really funny, but the show, esp the op, has a lot of shock elements. Oh well, I might stick around for 1 more ep, but let me just say right now that this show probably won't be very good

Dropping Coppelion, the drama is so slow and expected that I don't really feel any form of entertainment watching it besides nice post-apocalyptic backgrounds.

FINALLY got some free time.

OK so since I'm late, and practically everyone else has posted theirs, I'm going to post my thoughts as I watch the anime then give it a green, blue, or red.

Golden Time (episode one):
SPOILER
Characters look much older than usual. College probably and not your usual high school setting?
Opening is fine I guess. Nothing special though.
Fukusai University... Yep college all right.
Protagonist living in Tokyo for the first time. Also stalking is bad, you know.
Two stalkers lol.
"She was a disaster." Definitely sensing the romance genre here.
Car is approaching real fast. inb4 it has the girl who was the disaster.
That reaction. ^ ahaha
Cue yandere?
That was a pretty smooth move from the protagonist.
She's right behind you guys....
I'm surprised they haven't been called on yet with all of that shouting... Also lol at Super Saiyan reference
^ knew it
^^ knew it pt. 2 re: "She's right behind you guys...."
Yandere calling someone a tsundere -_-
Well the protagonist is definitely infatuated with Koko.
Enter new character. That voice though... really high-pitched.
Club recruitment... it scares me.
Another character introduction.
Wow... that main character is so... honest?
^ pt.2
So much flags being set.
And we end with some backstory.
Same comment with the ED as the OP. Fine but nothing really stands out.
Looks promising and I'm liking the change in setting as opposed to usual romances.
(Also Koko looks like Taiga <3)

Edit:

Strike the Blood (episode one):
SPOILER
That start is quite... disorientating
So protagonist is a vampire eh?
Do his friends know he's a vampire? Probably.
No money, walking in daylight...
What is it with stalkers and first episodes...
Is she like a demon assassin or something?
Oh here comes the first battle scene.
I think I'm liking the setting of this world.
Two OP characters from the start. I think we all know how this is going to end.
And I got lazy writing after the middle part.
The concept reminds me of some other anime, but I think the first episode was well done.
Though probably the revelation of the backstory was a bit too much for the first episode...
Anyway, pretty good concept and execution so far.

Non Non Biyori - Not an Iroha copy by any stretch of the imagination, sorry, bliss (also please keep in mind that Silver Link was founded by former Shaft employees, with their major director being the guy who did ef, so...). It's pleasant and idyllic, and if it can capitalize on its setting and provide more jokes I actually laugh at combined with the nostalgic feeling going on, I'll keep watching.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll - I'm close to giving this one a green, since I'm intrigued, but some things just absolutely did not sit well with me. While I really liked the overall art style and ideas the story was presenting (and presenting competently, resorting to only one single, short infodump), the amount of forced affection Yaya is dishing out feels like a sledgehammer to my brain, and the fanservice only compounds that. The technical merits also prove that Lerche is not a very talented studio, either, with its overreliance on CG in the action scenes. I'm going to keep watching this, but if Yaya gets any worse I'm going to drop this.

Outbreak Company - Pleasantly surprised by this! The overemphasis on moe does turn me off, and if it goes down the fetishization route it'll ruin itself. However, it's calling out the appeal of moe stereotypes and the main character, underneath the potentially weird nerd, is a sincerely nice guy. We'll see where it goes but I enjoyed this first episode.

Teekyu 3 - Help. This show made me laugh finally. My sides, they are in orbit.

Log Horizon : A Shounen-genre Anime which settings in Game-World? Yay!... Also I'm A Fans of this kind of Anime (Like Ragnarok & hack, SAO is exception), so Yeah.. I like this series

White Album 2 : I haven't watch the First Series of White Album... But the First Episode made Me think that this'll be A Great Series this Season... Reminds Me of Da-Capo

EDIT : Adding White Album 2, since there's no New Post after My Post (Preventing Double-Post)

Finally finished the first season of these two so got to watch it now.

Kakumeiki Valvrave 2 - Still as good as the 1st half/season.

Freezing Vibration - More girls, more fanservice. I feel like the story will be the same as the first season, fight between Pandoras themselves.

Dropping Kill la Kill, no matter how hard I try, I really can't watch anime of this type.

I've played this game, and was excited when I heard the anime, but it was really dissapointing.
It felt really hasted and the animation quality was awful.
I laughed when Jin created some ice to attack Ragna with = =

Little Busters: Refrain
This one was really nice, first ep of this was better than the first ep of LB
It gave a nice atmosphere and the animation quality was a relieve compared to blazblue
The part with Kurigaya felt exaggerated but was really cool >w<

Galilei Donna - Um, I'm really intrigued by this. It's one of those shows where quirky and colourful will be used to describe not just the art style but the entire production, but it's the right blend of silly and serious at this early stage in the game and I'm excited to see where it goes and what kind of plot develops.

Samurai Flamenco - This show is interesting in that the muted colour palette really suits the story. It's a superhero story for adults, and I think the silly nature of this first episode has some substance lurking beneath the surface, it's just a matter of the writing being able to express it. As such, however, the episode plays out rather paint-by-numbers but with enough unique flair for me to call it its own thing. Sticking with this one, maintaining hope.

Meganebu! - Ooh, I'm really in love with the direction here. Such a shame that the attached material is pandering so hard to fujoshi that it makes an actual gay man feel revulsed. I'm a fan of the director's indie work, too, which makes me sad that this is such a lame introduction to television animation for them. The show looks real nice and I appreciate its strange aesthetic, though, so I'll keep watching for that reason.

Gingitsune - I'm ambivalent towards this. Some emotional scenes hit well, but the story so far is completely paint-by-numbers and standard. It will have to do a lot more to be more than generic, but as it stands, I completely forgot that I watched this show until now.

Time for an update from me as I have finally caught up after a week of being capped:
  1. Galilei Donna - I had no idea what was going on but it interested me regardless.
  2. Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru - This was downright ridiculous to the point that I enjoyed every minute of it. I mean, come on... the complete shit on known history events was hilarious.
  3. Samurai Flamenco - This was hilarious.
  4. Tokyo Ravens - Surprisingly enjoyable.
  5. Unbreakable Machine Doll - Pleasantly surprised with how this was adapted even with the horrible OreShura art style and over balance of white which needed me to readjust my television a bit.
  6. Kakumeiki Valvrave 2 - Still as stupid as the first season so I'll be able to stay humoured throughout its run.
  7. White Album 2 - Pleasantly animated and well executed for an adaptation really sets a good impression in my books.
  1. Arpeggio of Blue Steel - Ars Nova - Why on earth was all of this done in some very cheap CGI fashion? I would have been perfectly happy with a mixture of properly drawn anime and CGI purely used for the ships themselves.
  2. Little Busters! Refrain - Slightly better than the original serving of this but still nothing special with the same annoying characters.
  3. Walkure Romanze - So close to just being in the red...
  4. Non Non Biyori - Sort of hit and miss style here.
  5. Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta - If only not for this horrible art style it would have made it into blue instead. I really wished that Suzuhito got involved with the animated adaptations of his work...
  1. BlazBlue - Alter Memory - What a let-down this was.
  2. Freezing Vibration - Might as well be called "Vibrator" instead as all it degrades itself to is service... What a shame considering that so much of the good content was blatantly skipped.
  3. Meganebu - The heck was this shit?
  4. Yowamushi Pedal - Horrible.
An update on my thoughts about Coppelion since it has bored the shit out of me completely.

Not directed toward a specific series in general, but it really seems like anything especially within the past 2 seasons that have been based on a game end up being decent to bad.

Valvrave the Liberator Season 2 - Still as strong as the previous season, even if it's still as a weird. Lots of excitement to be had.

Coppelion - [Second entry] I'm starting to give up on this one after two episodes out of thirteen. Has it's emotional parts, but that's not what I'm really looking for. Graphics still bug me. I'll give it one more episode. On the upside, I like the OP and ED...

Strike the Blood - [Second entry] Well this is a keeper if it keeps this up!

Doesn't sound like Blazblue is getting all that great of reviews here, that's slightly disappointing. I never played the story mode to this fighting game but my sister raved about how amazing the story was.

Pretty sure that's all the anime I'm watching this season. Not a bad season!

Nagi no Asukara dropped, too much silly drama over old rules versus youth spirit /love

Kill la Kill: 2nd ep felt much more predictable than ep 1, and the excessive copying of sprite moment is boring for me to watch. Dropping.

Yuushibu: episode 2 is way better than episode 1, definitely staying around for more

Valvrave s2: Great animation and more importantly all the ridiculousness of the best unexpected comedy of the year

Samurai Flamenco: Despite the decent animation and solid seiyuu cast, I could not laugh or be entertained by this show at all.

Log Horizon: As Synchrostar said, Akatsuki is absolutely amazing, if it wasn't for her, I have no idea how I would have gotten passed the MMo explanations. I hope the show gets better next ep, but it really seems like the only thing going for this show is Akatsuk

Galilei Donna: Yay, a bunch of random things happen, and I still don't know what is going on. Aniamtion was gorgeous, but everything else was just okay, will watch another episode for now

Think I'm going to hold off on Tokyo Ravens until the third episode has aired. Kinda interested but I don't want another Code:Breaker.

White Album 2 - Huh. I actually really like this. Some pretty striking use of lighting, competent direction, and besides for the title, it doesn't feel like a visual novel adaptation. Going to see where it goes from here.

BlazBlue - lolno. I love the nonsense story of the game when I'm playing it, but seeing it animated is a dumb decision. Animation doesn't sustain the flair of the fighting game, fight choreography's pretty shoddy, and the nonsense story makes even less sense now. Nope, done.

That's usually the case, since many adaptive writers don't know how to properly move something from one medium to another. This doesn't just apply to video game adaptations (hi, vast majority of light novel adaptations!), but it's especially noticeable when looking at a video game adaptation.

The only notably good one I had seen in a while was the Persona 4 animation. But then again, that was a couple years ago. I've been too lenient on any of the game and VN adaptations since they've all been decent to bad.

Nagi no Asukara : oh fucking yes, love triangle. My first impression for this series is good. But, I think it's quite funny people can live at sea and surface at the same time

Log Horizon: So many people say that this series will become as mainstream as SAO. Well, it doesn't make a sense for me at all. and,
>Akatsuki too cute

Outbreak Company : >bringing Otaku knowledge
>what

but at least, the story is pretty good, and the art isn't that bad.

Infinite Stratos S2 : As good as the season 1. and, Tatenashi Sarashiki is cute!
>fucking weeaboo moe fags

Galilei Donna : It took me a good first impression. The story is exciting! Also, Hozuki Ferrari best gurl.

White Album 2 : lolno, fucking dropped

What? Ew, no. It has a large fanbase because it's the most otaku-pandering thing. It's a total mess.

Log Horizon : Akatsuki forever <3. And story doesn't seem that bad, maybe it'll be better than SAO.
White Album 2 : Found it pretty good (especially the music).
Non Non Biyori : Renge forever <3 (Yes, again. My loli instincts are speaking). So fun and refreshing.
Kyoukai no Kanata : Mirai forever <3 (Yes, there's more !). Story is cool (Kinda mainstream, but well), pretty fun, art is pretty good. First eps convinced me (For now).
Kakumeiki Valvrave : Seems good, i think it can lead to something really good. We'll see how it goes.
Coppelion : Same as Kakumeiki Valvrave, can lead to something good, the story seems well done. Art is kinda bad though. I think it was already said, but those thick black lines are just horrible when the landscapes are so great.

Strike the Blood : Well, another vampire story, but this one could be interesting. Let's hope the rest will be good.
Freezing Vibration : Ok, Freezing v2. More fanservice, more girls, story is always the same (Oh my god, giant ennemies ! Let's fight them with girls so we can put so much fanservice !). But well, i'll surely watch it because it's not that bad. Just too much fanservice.
Walkure Romanze : Uh ... Another fanservice anime. Can't really say something now because I watched only one ep, but it doesn't seem so good to me. I hope next eps will be better.

Miss Monochrome : \o/. That joke.
NouKome : Dunno why, but only 2-3 minutes of the first episodes made me wanted to drop it immediately.

Not watched yet :

Nagi no Asakura : Nothing to say, will try it.
Kill la Kill : I watched first minutes of first ep, and I wanted to stop immediately, but i'll try later.
Infinite Stratos 2 : I'm pretty sure it will be another fanservice anime, but well, watched the first season, I'll surely try the second.
Yuushibu : Nothing to say.
Golden Time : Nothing to say.

Edited.

Coppelion: Melodramatic second episode. Why.

Outbreak Company: I don't even know why I like this.

Kill La Kill: A.K.A. Bad la Bad. No, just no. Dropped.

Log Horizon: Staying for Akatsuki, that's all.

Hajime no Ippo: Rising: It's Ippo.

Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai - Amazing, stop reading this and start worshiping it.
Strike the Blood - Pretty good, look's like it's going to get interesting.
Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta - Another nice one, I'd say it's better than the original. The art is great too.
Kyoukai no Kanata - Cool, I like the story and how the protagonist is immortal as well as the attitudes of some of the other characters, I have a feeling it will get better over time.
Yuusha ni Nare Nakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku o Ketsui Shimashita. - Mmm, I can't really put this one into words. It's in the middle I guess, funny at times and a little strange.
Kill La Kill - It's good but I'm not really into these types of anime but I just don't want to not watch it, y'know?
Miss Monochrome - Kill it.

Also looking forward to Pupa. It's supposed to air this month sometime. Studio Deen pls.

Kill La Kill : Definitly my type of anime, action and some funny stuffs.
Tokyo Ravens : I watched the first episode and it was pretty good, it looks like there will be some romance and action and that's something I was looking for.
Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai : As Nukedboom said, amazing!

Log Horizon : I've only watched the first episode and I wanted to drop it. I feel like people just don't care about being stuck in a videogame or maybe I just don't understand the 1st episode. Maybe I'll watch it later for akatsuki.

Miss Monochrome : Just no pls.

After way too long, I finally updated the op. I am sorry that I have been busy with other things lately, and since I was doing this rather fast, there are probably typos. I might add some more stuff later, but that is a large maybe.

Kuroko no basket 2 I still like it as much as I liked S1
LittleBuster Refrain! The storyplot concerning the seven dwarfs still draws me in
Log Horizon Akatsuki! + The scene where they manage to fly in the sky :)
Outbreak Company I don't dislike it.. but I don't like it either
Strike The Blood Pretty good and they really left things at a climax at the end of ep2(Thank god ep3 is uploaded already)

Golden Time Pretty refreshing, I've been getting tired of the highschool setting lately
Kill la kill Mindless action=awesome
Kyoukai no kanata Because I'm a kyoani fag
Non non biyori The nostalgic feeling the opening scene gave just instantly won me over
Outbreak company I really don't know what it is that I like in this, but dam I freaking love this

Log horizon nothing much to say
NouCome Pretty funny, but now much else. Although I have a feeling it'll get better

Meganebu Dropped this so hard. I just couldn't stand the pandering for the fujoshi. If not for that, it could have been decent

Kyoukai no Kanata - There's a really nice mix of humor and drama, I find, and the way MC handles his glasses fetish is awesome. I'm really enjoying the voice acting in this series, seeing as the two leads are played by seiyuus that I haven't heard much of. Also KyoAni
Arpeggio of Blue Steel - I'm really on the fence between green and blue for this one, but I'll keep it at green for now. I can look past the CG and see there's a lot of potential in this, and there hasn't been any major screw-ups that would otherwise taint my opinion. Iona is #1
Log Horizon - I primarily enjoy this because it doesn't take itself as seriously as, say, SAO. The running gag of Akatsuki kneeing Naotsugu in the face is starting to get stale already, but I like the direction the plot is heading.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll - One of the things stopping me from fully liking this series is the amount of Yaya's clingy-ness and the fanservice that comes with it. That being said, action sequences, although nice, could use some work, and the plot is... good, but not incredibly so. I'm likely going to finish it because I hate leaving things unfinished.

I don't have too much time to watch other series due to school, but I might give Kill La Kill a try, seeing all these mixed opinions.

I can definitely see Samurai Flamenco being anime of the season.

my bet goes to Outbreak Company and Kill la Kill (though I dropped the latter). or maybe KyoAni

The best is Diabolik Lovers, through I might watch Magi 2 too, but prefer reading the Manga.

Nagi No Asukara: is my new favorite anime, animation and story 10/10

Kyoukai No Kanata: I'm a big fan of Kyoani but I don't like too much how the character shows up and the story

Non Non Biyori: amazing, I love it..best sad nostalgic music atmosphere and the landscapes are beautiful (if you want to relax, I recommend it)

Galilei Donna: I like this one, I love the story and the main character even if I started later is my favorite after Nagi

NouCome: Fun, that's all..

these are the anime who have chosen to follow (but I will watch Kill La Kill once finished) :lol:
