The first episodes of Pokemon: The Origin and Gundam Build Fighters were both really good. Gingitsune and Samurai Flamenco seem pretty interesting, too.

The Origin is a wonderful OVA. I was ok with Red not being depicted as a complete Pokemon Master at first but I'm glad they showed his progress throughout the series. Like many though, I really wish they made an entire series out of it. The Pokemon fights were great.

I've been out of the anime loop that I had totally forgotten how bad second episodes tend to be. Origin's second episode is pretty unfortunate... but I'm sure the finale makes up for it.

Pupa and Nobunaga the Fool seem interesting. The rest, not so much.
I was kind of disappointed by the Pokemon OVA, tbh. Very pretty eye candy, but the dialogue was painfully stilted and anime at a lot of points (Lavender Town was urgh).
If they could keep the realism and get rid of the silly forced moral epiphanies that magically lead to "character development," I'd be down for something more substantial. If that makes sense.

I really like the descriptions for Noragami, Nobunaga the Fool, Space Dandy, Hamatora, Mahou Sensou, Hozuki no Reitetsu, Pupa.
Bayonetta anime looks amazing, I need to watch it since I never finished the game... Akito the Exiled looks good too. Right now I just catched up to Kuroko no Basket, and its so intense...

I dunno, I've been watching the trailers for Nobunaga the Fool on /m/ (it is mecha, although the description doesn't mention it), and it looks pretty bad...
On the other hand, Buddy Complex looks like a really generic, Gundam SEED-style mecha show but I want to watch it for some reason.

& What is this "To Aru Hikuushi"? does it follow Railgun? No, it's not related to Railgun or Index. It's based on a different series of light novels, and it's also sometimes called "The Princess and the Pilot," I believe. There was a movie version in 2011, apparently?

I saw Noragami and it was pretty good. Crisp animation, fun characters and seems to be painting a cool universe. Modern fantasy and all that.
Saw Space Dandy when it premiered on Toonami. The dub was great, but they slashed the opening and ending which made me sad. The actual episode was pretty ridiculous and exactly what I expected.
Supernatural detective agencies seem to be in vogue. Hamatora falls into that category and looks pretty cool.
Nobunagun sounds ridiculous and I always love it when historical figures are utilized. I'll watch it when I have the chance.
Wizard Barristers sounds like supernatural ace attorney, and the promo video was a surprise. The animation looked so sharp. That'll be fun.
The second seasons of Silver Spoon and Chuunibyou are going to be great if the first seasons are any indication.
I'm probably going to end up watching 20 more series without even realizing it so funfunfun.

I dunno, I've been watching the trailers for Nobunaga the Fool on /m/ (it is mecha, although the description doesn't mention it), and it looks pretty bad... I actually watched the episode, but so far I DO NOT like it. It's same old plot Boy meets Girl, they have a destiny together because of their dreams. I'm giving it a 2nd Ep. Chance only because the dudes were awesome. I quit on Hozuki no Reitetsu and Space Dandy (in JP), not funny. Hamatora, Pupa, and Strange+ I'm in love with so far. Definitely recommend them. Even though Pupa and Strange+ had 5min episode, I'm really excited for them, seeing that Pupa was freaking creepy and gross when the little sister was morphed or some crap. Strange+ I was gonna quit because of how it started, since the TRAP looked so feminine and I was like I'm not watching shoujo right now but then i gave it a few and come to realize it was a DUDE with a rather low voice for his facial/body structure, and I thought he'd have like a shota voice, and it's actually really funny. Hamatora, I already was like, DRRR! creator, watching it! And I pretty much love everyone already in this anime.

Another season, another chart.Winter had the unfortunate effect of cleaning me out in terms of carryover shows. 80% of the shows I thought were carrying over... aren't. It's been a pretty decent season, over all... I guess. Spring might be cool, though.

Oh, yeah, I forgot Kindaichi Case Files was getting an anime. I haven't read any of that, but I -do- like what I've read of the original Kindaichi. Pretty decent murder mystery schlock, and Kindaichi himself is a cool dude.
New Mushishi!! I'm really psyched for that.
Captain Earth looked pretty cool from the trailers- I'm definitely excited for that.

Gosh there's so much I want to see as usual. I've been hearing about announcements as they come out but haven't really had time time to sit down and look at the full list.
Akuma no Riddle - wait, this is yuri?!? Selector Infected Wixoss - supernatural survivor games are always cool Mushishi - definitely interested, but have yet to see the first season Jojo part 3 - *poses dramatically* Irregular Magic School - magic as tech, cool Fairy Tail - really need to catch up on this ...I'm going to stop or else I'd end up listing half of what is on the list.
Captain earth looks cool though
