Outbreak Company - Simply the best comedy in Fall 2013
White Album 2 - great job on the adaptation
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova - This is great despite the CG animation. Only anime in Fall 2013 that I made a review in MAL.
Log Horizon - Good so far.
Nagi no Asukara - aka NTR no Asakura. Well, at least the character development is great. Hikari from being an unlikable faggot to being a nice person, what more can I ask?
Freezing Vibration - Okay like the first season.
Strike the Blood - Same as Log Horizon
Non Non Biyori - Still not finished but it's good at the moment. We'll see how it goes.
Valvrave S2 - eru erufu. Yep, better second half of the series.
Little Busters! ~Refrain~ - I didn't get the ending but the plot twist is nice at the very least.

Not really sure how to color Noucome, Kyoukai no Kanata, and Unbreakable Machine Doll cause I finished it but the ending was disappointing so I can't put in enjoyed or dropped.

Dropped:
Coppelion - got bored
Infinite Stratos 2 - Just horrible. This is just good for people who cares about harem and fanservice and doesn't care about terrible dense main character.
Diabolik Lovers - obviously horribad and just for fangirls
Meganebu - for fangirling purposes and megane fetishists.
Walkure Romanze - I could've continued to watch this if not only for the bad ecchi.
Yuushibu - Plot>art
Miss Monochrome - unfunny short episodes.
Kill la Kill - not really my type
Ippo S3 - It's good, prolly will watch at some time later

edit: added KLK and Ippo

Hajime no Ippo S3 - if you watch Ippo most likely you'll *blue* this, not disappointing

Kill la Kill - could've been better but I still love so much about it
Kuroko S2 - VANISHING DURAIVU
last half of Monogatari - almost as good as bakemonos 1st season imo, some really good arcs. Also Kaiki.

Diamond no Ace
Gundam build fighters
Yowamushi Pedal
White Album - These haven't been as good as the top ones but still pretty enjoyable

Valvrave S2 - watched this one 'till the end. Liked S1 because of how ridiculous it was, S2 stopped being fun.

Favourites:
SPOILER
Kyousogiga. One of the year's standout titles. Seriously great stuff. To talk about it any more wouldn't truly do it justice, but it's a trippy visual and metaphorical bombast.
Nagi no Asukara. I'm shocked that I like this one as much as I do. It's not until I put the pieces together when thinking about it that I realize just how much this show does right. From the love polygon to the issues of race and the larger plot on display, everything melds together and works well.
Yowamushi Pedal. CG CYCLING. Okay, with that out of the way, I'm surprised that this show has got its hooks in my. It's a typical sports show but it's presented with enough heart to be enjoyable. That is, if these sort of titles are your thing. I do enjoy them more than the average viewer.

Good titles:
SPOILER
Kill la Kill. It's a tad problematic at the beginning and with one episode's horrendous use of CG. However, it's a dumb, simple title that takes many pages from 90's anime in the best of ways. It's simple, dumb, and enjoyable.
Outbreak Company. Dumb moe shows keep surprising me this season. This one's got a legitimately interesting plot, likable characters, and only a handful of moments I'd call purely disposable. It's charming and genuine, which causes it to shine through.
Meganebu!/Meganebu!. It's so bad. It's horrible. But you know that if this show was starring moe girls, it'd be treated like another Yuyushiki or something. It's dumb and it knows it, and it has enough visual flair courtesy of its strange director for me to support it.

Bad titles:
SPOILER
Unbreakable Machine-Doll. One of the worst things I've watched all year. Horribly-done light novel adaptation, pitiful animation/CG usage, and its writing in general is offensively bad.
Tokyo Ravens. Dropped five episodes in because I had no clue why I should give a shit. Also, generic-light-novel-writing-syndrome rears its ugly head again.
Galilei Donna. Dropped after episode 7. Y'know, I had high hopes for this one. Turns out that making it a one-cour show constrained any sort of logic or pathos the series could've had. No thanks.
Kyoukai no Kanata. Super pandery to the point of it not being the least bit enjoyable. Seriously. Characters are cardboard cutout tropes, the story isn't there at all in terms of legitimate construction...just, no. A pretty face can't hide a shit story and I don't think this show is worth defending.
Walkure Romanze. Bland VN adaptation that attempted to force ecchi all over the place. It came off as sleazy, so, no thanks.
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova. This one is tough. I enjoyed moments of it, mostly the combat scenes. Everything else about it came off as shallow pandering, with Gunzou himself as a wish-fulfillment protagonist. The show could have very easily been done in 2D as well, but for the most part, the action scenes looked nice. The character models, though...? Hideous. The main reason this is a red is simply due to the fact that every time they tried to take a major chance in the story, they retreat at the last second and pull deus-ex-machina bullshit out to keep the story safe. So, no. I don't think this show is very good.

Stuff to catch up on:
SPOILER
Samurai Flamenco. I enjoy the initial premise, but I think maybe I'd enjoy this show more by sitting down in a single sitting per each half.
Gingitsune. It's slow, pleasant, and nice to watch. I'm saving it for when I really need a pick-me-up after a bad day.
Non Non Biyori. See above.
White Album 2. A surprisingly enjoyable VN adaptation as of the first three episodes. I'm gonna continue this ASAP.
Diabolik Lovers. I'm hatewatching this. It's pathetic, but I kinda want to see how it all pans out.

Little Busters! ~Refrain~ (Fall coolest anime for me ya. The story is really interesting, and sometimes there are a few scenes that made ​​me cry till).
Nagi no Asukara (The story is really unique)
Kyoukai no Kanata (What's interesting about this anime is because of the way the story is confusing)
Non Non Biyori (This anime has a simple life).
Miss Monochrome (Although the story is short, but the anime is really exciting)


Unbreakable Machine-doll (There are only a few scenes that I do not like about this anime. But the fight scene was really tense).
BlazBlue Alter Memory (The ending of this anime, is less attractive. I think this anime has not really finished).

NouCome (I really hate this anime. Although only watched 2 episodes of this anime, I really do not understand. And there are so many scenes that I do not like about this anime).
