Thank you joel !! 
Many interesting things to watch
definetely watching:
- The Toriko One Piece and Dragonball OVA since I follow toriko and I am curious as to how it will turn out
- Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni blah blah because 1st season (or second?) was kinda funny
- Hayate no Gotoku (kinda dissapoint they still continue this spinoff since the last season was kinda uninteresting comprared to the original Hayate
)
- To aru Kagaku no Railgun (finally continuation of the anime! )
- Haiyore Nyaruko-san W (since the first season was so funny XD)
will check out:
-RGD (love the design)
- will also watch the firs season of Girl und Panzer and contniue with this season's if I like it
Surprised there's no ufotable or shaft anime around (what they wasting their time on and dont do the 9th Kara no Kyoukai no movie and the 3rd Madoka one? )

It's refreshing to have an anime season that isn't The Worst Ever for once.
Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan is going to be amazing. The manga is excellent, the trailer looked amazing, and Linked Horizon is doing the OP.
Aku no Hana/Flowers of Evil will... probably be good, the source material is well-liked by people I know who generally have good taste and it has a great production team, but I may not have time for it.
Suisei no Gargantia/Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet is a mecha anime written by Gen Urobuchi. Watching out of somewhat morbid curiousity.
Saint Onii-san/Saint Young Men is a Jesus/Buddha buddy film and that is far too amazing a concept for me not to watch.

^ Oh interesting! I will check these out too, thanks!

That.
LOL@My Little Pony "anime"
But admittedly that's probably one thing from the list I'm planning to check out. I'm curious how they will handle the dub, considering that voice acting is big in Japan and the "mane" cast is composed of character types not unfamiliar to anime. 
And the original's on another break till autumn anyway. And this will be a rare anime without usual ecchi-esque fanservice!!! 
Btw, Japan is one country getting MLP FiM BOTH in dub and in English. Those lucky bast... kids
Other than that... Maybe I'll check out Gargantia, for Urobuchi's involvement.

Re:
Somehow the image won't load, but I'll probably watch 'Attack on Titans'
..
[EDIT]
The image loaded and I find some animes I don't want to watch:
KARA the Anime-I don't like animations based upon idols......
Boku wa Ousama-...................Children's anime..?
Sparrow Hotel-Hate at first sight. Urggh.
..And some few don't-wanna-watch-for-no-reasons and one more hate-at-first-sight.

Ah, I read on internet Higurashi movie was planned so I was surprised it want on the first list. Now it makes more sense

Checked out MLP ep 1 dub. They sure put some budget into it, hiring some famous actors and making the semi-original OP and ED for it (original songs and semi-original footage since the latter is compiled from the show scenes and is pretty spoilerrific, LOL). ED's even by HKT48 if you don't count that the song is from their single's b-side and the lyrics seem to do little with MLP. Both songs are pretty average J-pop, but I didn't even think that a foreign dub could get such attention.
The dub quality is as good as I expected. Voices fit the personalities so far and mostly hit the bullseye concerning pitch similarity. Can't judge the translation, but VAs' work is miles better then many Europeans dubs I came across (including the infamous Russian one). The downside is that there are small scene cuts here and there, probably to make space for OP/ED (originals are 30 seconds long).
Seiyuus revealed so far that I found notable:
Miyuki Sawashiro
Emiri Kato
Kikuko Inoue
Ikue Ootani (Pikachu and Tony Tony Chopper)
Motoko Kumai (Syaoran in CCS and Pacce in FFX)
Takako Honda (Touko Aozaki in KnK movies)

Wow. Hataraku Maou-sama was really awesome. I really laughed in its first episode especially on references to Western stuff like Harry Potter, lol.
Meanwhile, I'm not that quite impressed with Majestic Prince, which looks like a Gundam ripoff, and Date A Live, which is another guy-imotou-strangegirl-othergirls kind of story imo, but may still continue to watch it since I have started watching it. lol.

I've now seen the first episodes of Shingeki no Kyojin and Aku no Hana. Gargantia's supposed to be streamed tomorrow.
Aku no Hana aired with... well, a bit of a shitstorm. It heavily uses rotoscoping (an animation method where something is filmed normally, then that footage is traced by the animators) and has an... unconventional artstyle (notably, it's a show about Japanese high-schoolers drawn to look like actual Japanese high-schoolers). It got panned in most places and it'll probably be one of the least-favored shows of the season.
Because people are idiots. Aku no Hana's artstyle and animation are brilliant. It's dark and ugly and horrifying and unnerving and absolutely perfect. It's art. I don't know if it's going to be any fun to watch, and it's really unsettling, and a lot of people are going to hate it. Those things are precisely what make it great; it's creepy and offputting and beautiful and overwhelmingly detailed and not quite real, and by using such a style, it approximates a visual equivalent to Les Fleurs du Mal (the book of poetry that plays a major(?) role in the plot)'s style.
I'm pretty much gushing, but it's really one of the most remarkable things to come out of the anime field in... years. Maybe ever. It could stand right up there with "actual art". It kinda reminds me of Haruki Murakami, really.
Shingeki no Kyojin... It's pretty awesome and a very solid adaptation of very good source material, but it really feels kinda... empty, after Flowers of Evil. But it's still an excellent show, at least going by a really strong first episode, and probably the one I'd most recommend this season.

Thanks for sharing this here!
'Attack on Titan' is a complete sensation here. On Sunday morning, it became no. 1 of the 'Most frequently searched keywords' lists of two famous search sites, and it kept its place till the day was nearly over. No any other anime, no matter how famous, has been able to do such a feat; I've never seen any on the top 1 of the 'Most frequently searched' list, let alone keep their places.
Most of the people around me know it, even non-otakus, and talk about it a lot, and they also say that the OP is really great

^Hmm. Maybe I'll check it out.
I've watched MADHOUSE's Death Billiards, which was good. Has anybody seen RYO from GONZO? The trailer seemed interesting...
Of the actual series, I'm watching Suisei no Gargantia (mainly for Urobuchi, though nothing has happened yet )

^ I'm starting to like Suisei no Gargantia now. Should be bracing for a heartbreaking moment in the next episodes to come, as what is expected of a work by Urobuchi after all... Why only 12 episodes... 
And this is going to have 3 BD releases containg 4 episodes each with English subtitles, according to CDJapan... If only Yuki was involved in this project somehow...
This and Hataraku Maou-sama are definitely the best for this season!

So far the best animes of the season for me are "Attack on Titan" and "Suisei no Gargantia". The both have really interesting plot, nice character design and graphics, very good music, and are so enjoyable that when you watch them time flies too fast.
For Attack on Titan I watched all 6 episodes in a few hours, and for Suisei no Gargantia, I thought the first 2 23min episodes passed in 3 minutes.
Even though I wasnt hiped about Revo's song at first, now that I watched the anime it really fits it (but I would prefer it without distorted voice), and the OP's animation is awesome, so this OP is from the few that I can never get tired of watching.
I will definitely dig into the soundtracks for these too when they come out.

Darn... it seems that no one is paying attention to Devil Survivor 2 the Animation, but if you are familiar with the SMT series, then it's no harm in trying this series. I'm having fun watching this, at least, and I'll buy the game that has been rereleased for the 3DS in America (since it will be released in Japan this fall).
I'll be watching Shingeki no Kyojin next...

I decided to start watching Valvrave the Liberator since I'm a sucker for mecha anime. Pretty standard teenager/mecha fare, though with some weird politics involved. Typical 'neutral nation but with advanced mecha tech' trying to avoid other nations. One nation patterned after Nazi era Germany, and the other after the US in the cold war era is a strange mix.
