This season looks incredibly disappointing, especially since we've had two awesome seasons in a row. As you two mentioned, Shingeki no Kyojin is looking the most promising at the moment. Series I've looked into already:

Karneval is finally animated! Whoot, so purttyy...exactly like the manga. Mamoru Miyano, Daisuke Ono, Hiroshi Kamiya, YESYESYESYESYES. *cough* >>..<<...>>...

Watched first episode of Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, pretty drop worthy. The screen-writing and pacing was pretty awful, but I'll see next episode.

Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince is also looking pretty drop worthy. It looked a bit like Gundam Seed art-wise, but it was a mesh of mech, school-life, and comedy that didn't really go well together. The battle scene was okay, and was the only thing fairly interesting in the entire episode.

Devil Survivor 2 The Animation first episode was pretty decent, but from the get-go, it'll probably stay "decent," I don't expect much from it.

Hataraku Maou-Sama is another work I'm going to check out. I can't help but think of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha...(second season, plzkthx)

Going to see if Arata Kangatari is any good. I haven't bothered reading the manga. I was never a fan of Yuu Watase's works, but maybe she's better at shounen than shoujo.

Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 2000%...rofl. I dropped the first season, I wonder if the second season will not be as cringe-worthy. Beginning sequence was equally as fabulous though.

Not sure what to ecpect from Suisei no Gargantia at the moment. Production I.G. has been inconsistent as of late. Guilty Crown as an original was a disappointment, but Psycho Pass was pretty decent ;x.

Asia Risshiden no Shima Kousaku seems like a change of pace, will probably check that out.

Will also watch the Hanasaku no Iroha movie, STEINSGATEMOVIEYESYESYES, (it better be good >>,) and yet another installment of Higurashi. What else can they do with it now? I'd like to see some Umineko, but projects always go to the series that makes more money I guess...*sigh*

I agree on that. After that, people who watched it either loved it, or hated it. There was a lot of mixed opinions.

I honestly think it's because the lack of moe in it, *shakeshead*

I watched it, and all honesty, I felt rather shocked looking at the rating it got, (lowest score on MAL, was 4.80 when I looked.) I thought it was very creative and very brave of the director to try this style, and I thought it worked well. It did a great job creating a unique atmosphere that had me almost on the edge of my seat, possibly due to the music, which I thought was pretty great.

It was mostly manga readers groaning about how they didn't get their slice of moe moe kawaii school girls, and got realistic, (THE HORROR!) girls instead *rollseyes* Probably 40% of this season is moe, they can watch all those other series instead, there are plenty of them.

It's very sad that the otaku community has become such a picky, finicky bunch that has limited themselves to only a few, (albeit not even great,) elements in an anime...

By the way, anyone watch Shingeki no Kyojin yet? MAN, DID IT DELIVER O-O.

Hataraku Maou-Sama - I laughed so hard in several scenes.

Arata Kangatari - typical shoujo in shounen disguise, it's going to be mediocre. Most people I know are only watching it for the bishies. The bishies aren't that good-looking either. Will still watch anyway since there isn't much this season.

Suisei no Gargantia started out pretty well too, although there's only 12 episodes, so let's see how this goes. The animation was pretty good, but I found the solid, bright color palette they chose to be too jarring at times, looked almost like a six year old picking out the colors for the main characters' eyes or somethin' o-O.

I am loving Shingeki no Kyojin so very much... Binged on the manga after episode two.
