Schedules eh. Some will be shuffled due to fansubs taking a while to come out unfortunately.

Sat: Sora no Otoshimono: Forte, MM!, Bakuman, Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku, Pokemon Best Wishes.
Sun: Shinrei Tantei Yakumo.
Mon: Yosuga no Sora.
Tuesday: Bleach.
Wednesday: Motto To Love-Ru -Trouble-.
Thursday: Kami no Mizo Shiru Sekai.
Friday:

I'm also currently making my way through Azumanga Daioh, K-On!!, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl and Strawberry Panic but I tend to watch these randomly when i have 20 minutes.

If my mind is really blank i might even watch the odd episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! or Card Captor Sakura.

*realises i'm possibly watching too much anime.

I'm really surprised of this Fall's anime releases, considering many were disappointed when they saw the new shows and watched their previews, however, now that they aired, most anime are getting above average to great reviews just from the pilot episode. I was actually one of the few that was anticipating this season's anime listings, and till now, nothing failed to satisfy me and hopefully it will stay that way.

WHAT. HOW COULD ANYONE BE DISAPPOINTED. Bakuman, World God Only Knows, and Oreimo in one season. That would pretty much be half of my most-looked-forward-to-list-of-anime-adaptations-of-manga. I wouldn't be too surprised if they turned out to suck though. (5000 Pokedollars on Kami Sekai failing halfway through.)

I really wish I looked this up before watching this. That definitely was not mild nudity. And really... Are they going to end every episode with soft-core porn?
 
I'm actually quite liking the Fall anime, but I'm going to be looking forward to the Summer '11 anime.

I've always found these viewing schedules to be a little odd and I guess something that's hard to stick to when you must fall back on needing subs to understand anime. Even with the shows I watched raw, I can't really stick to anything like this. I tried it a few times in the past and it was nothing I could stick to for longer than a couple of weeks because I'm too damn ADD and would drift off into different shows and forget about others.
 
I don't think I've ever used any sort of schedule besides watching an episode of Mushishi afterschool every weekday for about a month. I tend to watch whatever I'm in the mood for, which unfortunately results in several short series unfinished for months. :<
 
In terms of keeping up with current stuff, I don't really bother following a schedule since fansubbers always seem to let me down. :( In any case, I stop caring what day of the week a certain series airs after the first couple of episodes. The last time I decided to stick to a "schedule" was about a year ago when I decided I would complete one 13-26 episode series every weekend. I think I lost about 95% of my sanity during that month. I did manage to complete a lot of decent anime series though, including both seasons of S&W and Zetsubou Sensei. I left of at Kino's Journey which I still haven't finished. D:

My schedule consist of anime that's airing here locally, so Wednesday for Hayate no Gotoku S2, and Fairy Tail. :<

But speaking of airing anime this season, it's quite hardcore. Panty and Stocking, Yosuga no Sora (omg, it's like I'm reading Kira-Kira again) and not to mention Togainu no Chi, which is a Shounen-ai anime.

Look at what someone says on MAL.

About the "getting wet and having multiple orgasms", im sorry to disappoint you but girls are not like boys, it takes much more to stay like that. Also, if we girls have to see all the damn ecchi scenes with huge boobs and other stuff, in almost all animes, (not to mention Highschool of the dead) which is like WTF for us and we dont say a word, so
we actually deserve to have our fangirl moments watching animes with hot guys, since they are very rare.
i actually think this is an anime that can be enjoyed by boys as well, since it has good action.

Maaan, she makes a good point. Seriously hardcore stuff this season.

Also Amagami SS new OP is <3, the animation, not the song. D:
 
I don't have a set schedule for watching anime... whenever I get the time, I'll watch a few episodes. Fortunately, since I'm not watching many new series, the entire series that I do watch are already subbed so I can watch them at will. A recent exception was Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and I'll probably end up starting Amagami SS before it's completed. Also, Fresh Pretty Cure is completed but it's taking FOREVER to get subbed :/
 
I do not really mind somehow outdated artwork, such as from the 90s, so an interesting plot with good character development and an intriguing setting would do just fine, for me that is. I watched Cowboy Bebop a while back, and though the art was indeed obsolete and 'hard-on-the-eyes', I didn't really care, for it had everything I mentioned before.

I just watched the second episode of MM! and it wasn't as good and as funny as the first episode, but it was, nonetheless, enjoyable.

I prefer newer anime because of the artwork, and sometimes they have better plots and storylines :o

The keyword is "sometimes", because when compared to Cowboy Bebop, U.C. Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, Rurouni Kenshin and a host of other 90's anime (excluding older series too), the vast majority of anime plots/stories nowadays are paper thin. Keep in mind whether or not something is hard on the eyes can depend a lot on video quality.

I agree with this. And with that, generic, formulaic, and cliche anime started to show. Nowadays, a "handful" of anime actually interest me. Not-so-old shows such as Clannad are what keeps me anticipating an anime that may capture my interest.
 
I haven't seen a lot of pre 2000 anime. Ima Soko Ni Iru Boku and Grave Of The Fireflies allow me to say that there has always been good anime around as much as there have been bad ones. Naruto, Green Green... see where i'm going here? lol

I would think there is a lot more anime aimed at the younger age group now, it does seem that every other anime is a highschool romcom or an ecchi fighting anime. I dunno :/
 
A couple of my friends have talking about "Grave of the fireflies". Is that any good? What are its genres? :o
 
No real romance although some is implied i guess. The main character is 11 :L

And GOTF is a tragedy mainly. It's set in a war and it's a story of a pair of siblings daily lives. Brilliant but i doubt you'd wan't to watch it more than once.

Thats true, but I mean the drawings. Like Kanon (original) doesn't seem to have good drawings compared to Kanon 2006.
