Yup, that's the only must watch for me. I'll be watching a lot less ongoing anime next season me thinks. I'll try a few and see what i think but i honestly can only see myself really enjoying a few of those :/
 
Agreed, most of the new shows this winter just didn't strike me as being "must-see" series. Which at least might give me time to re-watch some old favorites.
 
Dunno, I've had some good experiences with this season when I wasn't expecting much, so who knows. I have Beelzebub, Kimi ni Todoke 2, Mitsudomoe 2, and Gosick (for being Bones) on ym list right now, Lovecraft perks my interest at the topic.

Also, Mirai Nikki pilot should be coming out soon
 
I'll defo be watching the two sequels you mentioned there, I've also heard good things about Beelzebub so i'll probably at least check that out. The only other one which really sparked any interest was Kore Wa Zombie whatever, for it's genres it seems pretty good.

Actually i'll have some anime from last/this season to catch up on in Shiki and Amagami SS so i shaln't be too bored anime wise.
 
Why is it that much of the high school anime nowadays has some "weird" factor to it, like someone being an alien/robot/magic user/pervert/etc...?

I just want a nice, normal romance anime and there's only like one per season now (Kimi ni Todoke this coming season, Amagami SS from the past two seasons)...
 
I guess it's just what sells :/

That and the fact that humanoid aliens/robots don't have human shyness allowing easy fanservice?//perhaps..

Hmm, you're spot on though... MM! is the most normal romance i'm watching atm (i'm not counting Bakuman! as they don't even text eachother) and he turns into a DBZ character whenever he gets really turned on..:L
 
And it was exactly that aspect of MM! that kept me from watching it in the first place... I guess it's just a trend I'll have to deal with since my taste in anime is different from the majority.
 
I'm probably too easy to please with anime and manga, well at least when i'm a tired or not in a mood to think. Looking at my currently watching list realistically more than half of them are really pretty poor :/ meh.
 
I'm pretty fussy about which genres I watch, but within those genres, I'll most likely watch anything, even if it isn't the highest quality. And strangely enough, I've kinda enjoyed some of those "lower quality" shows.
 
Hmmm I wonder if I'm picky with genres. I know I watch far too many crappy high school romantic comedies, supernatural harems (wow that's a bad way of putting it, sure you know what i mean) and of course mainstream Shōnen.

Nah, I don't think I am. Most genres have at least a few series I would enjoy.
 
Usually I stick to my preferred genres but sometimes (usually through anime club or the viewing room at an anime con) I'll be introduced to a show outside of my usual genres that impress me.

A good example is Macross Frontier, which I watched in anime club and ended up enjoying even though I don't typically watch mecha anime.
 
I threw away my opinion of not liking mecha with TTGL and FLCL, i'm not sure what i'd think of less crazy mechas but they were good.

Just started Black Lagoon, don't usually watch all out action anime but seriously this has potential to be one of my favourites. Love everything in it so far.
 
For a while I watched Bleach and Fairy Tail as shonen series, but both are currently on hold due to my schedule.

I saw one episode of FLCL a long time ago on Adult Swim and I'm still not sure what genre it fits into, lol

"FLCL... genre."
You're missing the point.

You're probably right.. that show went WAY over my head...

And I've found I'm more likely to watch a show that's outside of my normal genres if cute girls are involved. It worked for Saki and Taishou Baseball Girls xD
 
I'm getting bored of cute anime girls, it's all about the crazy ones now. Revy of Black Lagoon is now one of my favourite characters ever.
 
Nah, I'll stick with my cuties. Can't go wrong with the classics. Most of my shows are distinctly lacking in a crazy element, anyway. It's just part of my oddball weird "eclectic" taste in anime,,,, yeah, that's the word for it xD
 
I don't think you're taste is that odd really. I don't like to judge but the only really weird tastes are of those who enjoy sadistic rapey stuff. It's not really that odd to like magical girls and cuteness.
