Terrible season. Only things worth giving a shot are probably Gangsta and Dragon Ball. Not even Durarara.

You can throw everything else straight to the trash.

God Eater:
This Anime will suffer from poor character development like every game to anime adaptation. Also, as someone who has never played the games, I felt the anime failed to provide any decent form of backstory to the world and so, I didn't really understand any of the 'hype' the anime was trying to build up throughout the duration of the episode. Animation was okay, I like the pasty look that it has but it seems that that is the only unique feature this anime has so far.
Scarlet Devil_old_1
Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai: I was actually looking forward to this when I heard of the LN (That's not translated)

Prison School: I'm liking the adaption so far though the second half of the episode felt oddly paced, I guess they wanted to introduce the UGSC in one go. The only thing I didn't like is within three minutes I already see censors and they're not subtle... I'm scared to see how much is censored judging what happens in the manga. I guess I'll wait for blu-rays. ;___; Hana best girl~

This whole year has been a disappointment.

Charlotte episode 2 pretty much showed not to have high expectations.

Introducing magic into Symphogear was the dumbest decision they could have made. Lets also talk about how bad Chris is at singing.

Glad they are doing something with the head in Durarara but expected better than fights between yanderes.

Charlotte: Blah. I watched this too see what was the hype about, but the only appealing point it has it's the visuals, premise is kind of dumb to take it as "serious" as it seems to be.

God Eater: Nice visuals again (as expected), animation looks kind of choppy sometimes, but doesn't feel that bad given the colouring style. The story (if there's one?) seems a bit rushed, but as expected from a game adaptation.

Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Sen'eki Nice spoilers.
blissfulyoshi
God Eater: There was not much to appeal to people when watching this. A fairly stereotypical character in a fairly standard plot with little humor or drama. Characters with 3d shading that don't match their background, and the action felt fairly low budget with just blurred scenes, monsters being knocked away with 1 swing, and other actions of that nature.

Charlotte: I really dislike the mc and basically the entire first half of the ep, but I found the second half a lot better . The art is nice and clean as expected of PA Works, but the explosions halfway through the ep looked terrible. Oh well, on the fence for me.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa: When reading it, I never found the series that great, but slowly down the execution of the jokes and providing some low quality backgrounds don't give me any reason to watch the show.

God Eater: The visuals were interesting and nice to look at, which is prolly what kept me most interested. However, this gets downgraded a bit by the low fps animation. So far the story is pretty bland tho.

Well I disliked Yuu more with his super cocky attitude hidng his extreme cowardice. Nao didn't do much in ep 1 besides being a random stalker/detective. Her childish nature urked me a bit, but Yuu made me not pay attention to it :?
Green Platinum
God Eater: Pretty generic human vs monsters plot which never ends up very good anyway. I bet I wouldn't even like the game, reminds me too much of MH and Freedom Wars. I don't care about visuals but they could harm your experience if you do.
EneT
So far I only have good things to say about Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. Can I just say how much I'm starting to love Shirayuki? Yeah, a lot.
Predicting her to be Best Girl 2015.
Green Platinum
Dragonball Super: Pretty good, although it feels like Dragonball has reached a point in our culture where it is forbidden to slander it.While it is good for now who knows if its novelty will wear off or take a dive.
Rio-
God Eater - Interesting Animation Style, feels like that I watched the combined version of typical anime-style & Computer Graphic designs. The story aren't bad either. But I just kinda feel that my expectation about this series aren't the same as what It really happens so i'm kinda a little bit disappointed.

Overlord: Unlike SAO this is a video game world show I can prolly get into.
Green Platinum
Makura no Danshi: The consequence of not reading up on all the new anime. Anyone remember the Hinako OVAs? This is like sleeping with Hinako except with a female target audience with multiple different characters so you have your choice of husbando.
-Atri-
sore ga seiyuu - I would give a like for those cute characters and it's art style, but in here, 90% of the anime is telling how seiyuu works.

Charlotte - meh, eye powers, just like Mekakucity actors and code geass

Okusama ga Seitokaichou - okay, to be honest, I don't mind that anime is 7 minutes long, but I like something R18 or eroge (blame be right?)
Suisei XYousoro
Overlord: The pacing is pretty slow at the start, but it still brings out some potential anyways. I mused over Momonga's introspective moments and the decent animation.
Starfall9908
Sore ga Seiyuu - A pretty nice anime, I've been waiting for an anime telling us about how voice actors works (there is that I want to become a Voice actress but I'm intrested of what voice actors had to go through to rech the position they are in.) I think this anime is holy because hey Episode 2, Kamiya Hiroshi (CV: Kamiya Hiroshi) not everyday this happens

Kuusen Madoushi - I started watching this just because I heard that Kakihara Tetsuya was going to voice act in it (That's mostly how I end up finding animes for the new season >u<) I still havent watched the second episode due to my bad wi-fi but seriously, a guy being mistaken for a pervert just becase he got a goddamn breakfast on himself or just because he was looking at a gril (I won't deny that it's perverted to go in to a girl toilet tho), it kind of pisses me of, I'll continue watching this anime just because Kakki is in it.

Charlotte - The main character is such a mean person, like srsly he didn't even care for a girl that fell on the ground, such a nice gentleman. After watching episode 2 so am I wondering what the hell is that guy's problem is though... Well having powers that doesn't work 100% is pretty instresting to see, so I'll continue watchingt his and see what happens. The characters have some personality at least which I think is nice.

Durarara!!x2 Ten - Why the hell am I even bothering writing this? I wouldn't be watching this if I didn't like season 1. I think that this anime will be on the top 5 best animes of the season. I like how Shinra cut off Izaya on phone just because Izaya disturbed Shinra when taking a pic of Celty, good job!

Himouto! Umaru-chan - It's nice to see that spoiled little girl do whatever she wants on her brother. Umaru-chan is basicly what I do at home. I like the animation and the character design too, I look forward to continue watching this.

Junjou Romantica 3 - I had no idea that it was getting a second season. But Yay~ More Shounen Ai! I like the plot and the fact that Misaki is a Tsundere (he is a tsundere in my eyes, okay?) I'll take my time and enjoy watching this anime.

Chaos Dragon - The plot was pretty intresting but so far so is it a bit boring, I didn't predict that Mashiro would die (Am I spoiling now?) But I could pretty much predict the second charcter that would die and I wasn't wrong. I didn't watch the 3rd episode yet but If just another charcter dies the color of my opinion will change to red. Because there is nothing fun with a charcter dying every episode this ins't Danganronpa where you enjoy seeing a character die every episode. So I'll continue to watch this and see what happens next.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu - I thought that Hotaru was a guy but then it turns out to be a girl. Masamune said there is thrill in the survival game but so far so am I not seeing any, I think it's because those 2 first episode was more about to show the watchers the charcters in the team and their personalities and what this survival game is about. The opening was very nice (I want to map the opening now) I was surprised that Maenu Maeno Tomoaki was voice acting Masamune. I'm enjoying watching Masamune think that Hotaru is guy and I want to see his reactions later if he knows about it (lol). This anime is going to be on the top 5 best animes of the season.

Akagami no Shirayukihime - I don't regret adding this on my list of animes to watch this season (I randomly found the anime on tumblr a few months ago). This is a second version of Akatsuki no Yona but in a bit different way. I love Zen's personality. I want to watch how Zen and Shirayukihime's relationship will reach, eventually so is this going to get a second season later (just a random prediction) I think that this anime is enjoyable for both boys and girl. I'm betting that this anime is the best anime of the season.

A random top 5 list of the season
This is just my own opinion~

1. Akagami no Shirayukihime
2. Aoharu x Kikanjuu
3. Durarara!!x2 Ten
4. Junjou Romantica 3
5. Himouto! Umaru-chan

Makura no Danshi: As Green Platinum said, it is like a female oriented sleeping with Hinako.... except even lower budget animation (slideshow action)
Haruto
  1. Charlotte : Yay an aniplex and Visual Novel brand Key Production ^^.Quite Impressive Anime IMO, Awesome Graphics on the anime really made my day, Nice and Calm song they have at the Opening and the Ending of the anime. I Like the Superpowers they have, quite cool IMO. This is Really an Interesting anime in this Season IMO. I guess i'll watch this anime if I have time and More Internet data^^;
DakeDekaane
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: Smooth animation, likable characters, typical male MC, cute female MC. This one was really nice to watch.

Gakkou Gurashi!: The cutesy "horror" anime, I'm not much into moe stuff, but this one hooked me, it'll be interesting to see how this handle both opposite sides.
Faust
Prison School:

I was interested in this already, and I have to say it did not let me down.
Gladly waiting on the next episode.
Green Platinum
Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls 2: Largely the same as the first half. Too many characters you simply don't care about, compared to the main series where they all have their appeal (Except Yukiho) this group is boring where liking any more than 4 out of the 10 or so is pushing things. Maybe since this part will hold more serious tone and there was a brief teaser for that in the first half so that potential does exist.
Needs more duct-tape. semi-probably-NSFW

Only 5 more days till new Illya. It can't come soon enough ;~;

Out of regular series, I think that Illya is the last one that still needs to air. There's still a few movies, but by the time most of those come out this thread will most likely be forgotten.

Haven't checked the thread in 2 days, but the chart should be all up to date now.

Suzakinishi The Animation: Another low budget, not funny short.

Gakkou Gurashi: As nice as the animation was, the jokes just weren't funny. I also dropped the manga before because I know the dark things don't really develop at a fast rate, so I can't even pay attention to that either.
Navizel
Makura no Danshi - As if Sleeping with Hinako wasn't horrible enough.

THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls 2nd Season - I can't really bring myself to like everyone else except Rin. It's the same bland thing all over again. The quality is terrible as well. The cat girl and Kirari are so annoying. I used to like Anzu but right now it's more of annoying than cute.

Prison School - I don't know what to do with this one. I guess it's average. Whatever
Green Platinum
Shimoneta is tackling Denpa Kyoushi for worst voice acting of the year.

SuzakiNishi: Anime to promote two Seiyuus or something? No one cares.

Is Illya the only show left before we can start looking forward to next season's Young Black Jack for something good to watch?
Rio-
The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls 2nd Season - Same shit as last season. But I like the first episode so far.

Himouto! Umaru-chan - Kinda late but I like how it turned out to be better than my expectation (At first I thought it would be a 5-minutes show but I was wrong). Animation are good and story are quite interesting too.
(Umaru kinda reminds me of my little sister though, only less slackin')
Green Platinum
Venus Project Climax: The tradition of cramming idols into wherever they fit continues. They promise a twist but this only exists to promote the game. At least this one doesn't have fanboys defending it.

Joukamachi no Dandelion should be penalised for not dedicating an entire episode to loli-Akane

Missed this. When was the story explained?
Navizel
There's a story?

Oh and Venus Project is one hell of a mundane show. It's a complete waste of time. It might be less bland than Makura no Danshi but it doesn't change the fact that it's bland.
Rio-
how should i put this?
Interesting means I want to know more, maybe? I don't really know what I should put about that, but I like to know more how this series will turn out in the next episodes (or explaining more about pointless Hikikomori jokes but I like it)...

*bad grammar is bad, sry

The only Hikikomori joke you need is.
"She isn't a hikikomori, she's a Zashiki-warashi"

Makura no Danshi - Compared to other Otome/reverse Harem anime like Hakuouki, Brothers confilct, Amnesia and Bonjour Koiaji Pattiserie so is Makura no Danshi the Worst one of them. First of all I can't really that this an anime. It's just like listening to a drama CD with some GIFs. It's not bad because it's around 5 minutes long. Bonjour Koiaji Pattiserie was 5 minutes long and I enjoyed watching every single episode. It feels like the anime was made with half hearted feelings. The only yhing I feel that was pretty nice was the Voice Acting.

Unlimited Blade Works showing us just how much money they have.

Also Prison school gave me a weird boner, so I'm giving it a like.

Turns out they're not. But still pretty solid animation.

Gangsta.- This series is really solid, the dialogue between the characters is very interesting and the fight scenes are well executed.

God Eater- The first episode wasn't that memorable, It's wasn't terrible but it wasn't "Masterpiece" worthy either, it got a little better during the second episode so I'll keep watching to see where the story is going.
Green Platinum

It is if you play it like that.

Umaru chan - Really cute character designs and I loved the anime/manga's choice to distinguish between Umaru's personalities by switching between normal and chibi form. Just 20 min of watching Umaru nagging on her brother gets a little bland

also holy shit Gakkou Gurashi is getting truly incredible
Green Platinum
Gakkou Gurashi will probably go down as a series that never hit its full potential. None of the characters are very interesting and the series concentrates on juxtaposition where a better approach would probably be similarities in lifestyle. I don't really care about the manga but I don't trust the director's skills very much.

NSFW: Calling it now, there will be a mind-break hentai doujinshi of this series where after being raped by zombies or other survivors the entire cast will end up like how Yuki is in delusion

Isn't that like rule 34 of the internet?

EDIT: That is rule 35, never mind...

Green Platinum
Rules 34 and 35 say nothing about what kind will be made.
Doujins will be made but I'm betting on that specific scenario too.


Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei Hertz: I've said before that as a whole I dislike this section of the manga more than any other part. The slice of life comedy elements in this episode were more of what one expects from the series. At this point the anime just feels like it has been going for too long.
