As my fellow Shaftbro, what disappointed you about Denpa Onna? I know the usual reasons people end up not liking it, just want to hear yours :p
Your list reminded me that you can definitely add Deadman Wonderland to my list of biggest disappointments, and...uhh...was Infinite Stratos this year? Somehow I went into it expecting a mecha instead of an otakubait harem, I didn't even last through the first episode. Japan ate it up, I suppose that means it was good for what it was.
Oh yeah, we're getting Thermae Romae. Shame it's only three episodes, I'm totally watching that though. Three weeks of old-style noitaminA is more than I got last year (but only because I didn't watch Wandering Son or Usagi Drop, lol). BRS is only what, eight episodes? I hope Romae is filling the other three weeks of that cour instead of running concurrently. I have no particular love for the BRS franchise so I'm pretty much in it for the same reasons you are. Insane battles, chance for yuri. Seeing the huge amounts of CG in the trailers has killed my hype significantly, but it's still a must-watch.
One final note in this rambling post, I marathoned most of Idolm@ster over the past couple of days after losing track a few episodes in when I was watching it week to week. It was basically cute girls doing cute things, but it had great, colorful animation and the girls were undeniably really adorable and endearing. The second half became kind of crappy when they shoehorned in a villain, but the show redeemed itself toward the end. The Azusa and Ritsuko episodes were probably my favorites, Takane and Makoto are the best girls though :p
I'll admit to hoping it gets a second series even though it would have to go in a really different direction because of the ending of the first series, it was still enjoyable even if it wasn't constantly kicking me in the nutbladder with HNNNNNNGH-levels of charm like I thought it was going to when I first started it. I think I've learned that I need to lower my standards in regard to watching things that are lacking in substance but are cute and feel-good, it was kind of nice to turn my brain off and just let the moe wash over me.
