Some thoughts on anime of this season:

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt - My kind of anime. I just found the mindkilling 30 minutes so enjoyable.

Ikamusume - Ika-chan is cute. That's it really.
Hate the original manga, so at least the anime is going somewhere.

Fortune Arterial - I really don't like anime when the protagonist and I share the same name. It's awkward.
And this was pretty much 30 mins of pure awkward and "oh god please stop calling my name."
So no, only episode 1 for me.

SoreMachi - I like the original manga, so didn't have much expectations for the anime.
I expected right, the anime seems to be going too fast, and the unique atmosphere the manga has just doesn't translate to anime.
Probably going to be typical Shaft animu.

Milky Holmes - Oh please god no. Fast paced to the point it made no sense, and not funny too. Nor cute.
Why the heck this Bushiroad give the go-sign to this....?

Star Driver - Missed episode 1 today, apparently is good, so will need to catch up.

Oh. Does it have good art? Plot? Genre? :o
The art is very good, to me that is. It's not THE best, but it didn't bother me at all. It's a romantic, slice of life anime, though the romance in it is somehow unclear sometimes.
Read the plot here if you like.

And kohei, I agree with you on Panty & Stocking.

You really live in Japan right? If so, your lucky.

I'm interested in Fortune Arterial.
And you mean you missed it when it was on TV?

The new thread looks great :D I am Chad -, if anyone remembers -_-

Okay, so I haven't been watching much anime lately, but hopefully I will get back to it, now that the new Fall anime have been released. From what I read here and from the reviews on MyAnimeList, this season is either great or disappointing :O So, what can you guys recommend me from this year's new collection?

Not even Psychic Detective Yakumo? >:-( I have been dying to watch this, since I read the manga before. I don't want to download anything that will suck later on; I have a terrible bandwidth and my ISP sucks, badly.

But, my friend bought me Clannad and True Tears. Hopefully these will entertain me for the time being.

Welcome back Chad. I'll give a quick round-up of my favourite anime so far this season.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Loved the manga, the series also started with a real bang. My tip to be anime of the season.

MM! - From 2 episodes it seems it's going to be a very strong comedy. Not too clichéd.

Bakuman - From the creators of Death Note, a slice of life anime about a pair that team up to create a manga. It seems well written and nice to watch.

Yosuga no Sora - Twincest/harem/romance and pretty artwork.

The sequels i've started watching are for To Love-Ru! and Sora no Otoshimono.

Basically a good start to the season.

----

Fortune Arterial ep 1 was ok Char, it seemed to be a little more serious than R+V but still ok.

Too..many..O_O (not really), but thank you for that Lapras (you have something else I can call you? xD)

From your descriptions, Bakuman sounds the most interesting. I just might give it a go. I believe I read the manga. I am watching previews of some; not much appealing.

And To Love-Ru's sequel is already airing? :O Nice.

Okay, what's the traditional high school romance anime this season? I'm having trouble picking it out from the vague summary descriptions I've seen elsewhere, lol

But that'll probably end up with Twincest end anyway. MM! or Fortune Arterial maybe? There's still Amagami SS from last season too.
Twincest? The only kind of incest anime I have seen is Kiss x Sis but thats not real incest :/

Hmmmm, there are a few I'll throw out there that fit your normal criteria (romance, no special powers)
Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai - Not really romance, but it has a lot of Otaku vs. Society things going, AND its not just people standing around talking about their day [coughluckystarcough]
Yosuga no Sora - OP by eufonius, its a harem-ish anime, based off an eroge, though it has incest and takes advantage of the no-censors on the station its airing on. I'm expecting something out of it.
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The world god only knows) - This is probably the closest you can get to High School Romance this season. It has a small supernatural element to it, but that's really only to move the plot. Basic plot: Protagonist is an expert in eroge. One day he receives a request to "catch" girls. Guy has to go through romance sequences with each of the girls in order to collect loose souls inside girls' hearts. The easiest way to do such is to have the girl fall in love with you. Despite how it sounds, the first episode's story was surprisingly feelgood from what I had thought it would be. Music is also really fitting for the scenes. Take a try at it.
