I'm hoping for some good surprise hits though.
But even if there's not I suppose it's not like I have a shortage of things I still need to see.

I think Aya Hirano might want to stick to Pop though.
What about Tokyo Magnitude 8.0?
GA Fine Arts, slice of life about girls and their art club. Deja vu to the max but I'll be watching it for sure. Other titles that have my confirmed viewing are Cannan, Bakemonogatari, Aoi Hana, Spice and Wolf and Zetsubou. Everything else I'll give a fair chance.
Looks like a decent season for slice of life stuff.
And thus ends my dream. I loved DN (even the mehtastic second half), but the ending was such a disappointment.
Also, Akagi is pretty rockin' so far.
Princess Lover is going to be so bad it's awesome.
JC Staff turns out some quality product. It's a big part of why I'm going to be investing some effort in watching it.
Kinda like Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 being done by Bone. I didn't really need to read a whole lot more than that. Ok, it might suck, but it's almost certainly worth a look on no other real grounds.
I'll probably be watching GA because it will remind me of a few shows I like a bunch, and Kanamemo is in kinda the same boat given the format of it's original material(I'm oddly predisposed to anime adapted from 4 panel comics).
Oh, I forgot all about that! I'm a little bit skeptical but Bones usually puts out something worth watching more often than not so I'll definitely give it a shot.
I remember Bad Kitty saying Aoi Hana manga was pretty good stuff.

That orchestrated Mikurun-run really reminds me of the orchestrated Phoenix Wright album.
Huh forgot about Kanamemo, it looks kind of cute. That all girl baseball anime might be fun too.
Crest of the Stars. It has a bunch of sequels too, called Banner of the Stars I, II, and III. According to wikipedia, there are also OVAs and feature films that continue the story.
Basically, the show is Space Opera. Grand, amazing, detailed Space Opera with a huge scope. The author even made up his own language for the aliens. The two main protagonists are 3D, fully rounded, well characterized and it's a treat to watch their romance progress.
Have you seen/read Monster? Sounds like it'd be right up your alley. Possibly Darker than Black as well.
Honey & Clover may scratch your Ghibli itch depending one which ones you like more. Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Tytania you may like as well.
I'm aware that all of those bar Tytania are older than a year but you may have missed them when they originally aired.
I totally didn't see it coming.
Yeah, that was trippy.
Candy Boy.
I'm very much looking forward to Aoi Hana and it's probably going to be the only I'll be watching this summer. Even if you're not into yuri it's very charming and the characters are endearing.
Sasameki Koto, another recently serialized yuri manga turned anime, airs in the fall. I'm also looking forward to that one. This one is your more typical slapstick love comedy, though it does delve rather sharply into unrequited love and drama that is done quite well.
The remaining list:
Oh hey Bad Kitty it's been awhile. Did you check out Solanin since the last time?
I read the first few chapters and thought it was very cute and bohemian. A bit aimless, but then so is life. I'll need to properly sit down and enjoy it further, but I liked what I saw.
The most recent slice-of-life I've been enjoying is Manga no Tsukurikata. It's a fluffy, drama-free, and yuri-esque and starts when a neophyte manga artist starts "dating" a more established manga artist to gather research for a girl love manga. It sounds stupid but it's really quite cute and develops more or less into a celebration and sometimes explanation of manga.
Murder Princess.
Also, on the manga front, I recently started Iono the Fanatics and Girl Friends. Only a couple chapters into the former (got distracted... >.>) and up to ch17 or so of the latter. Iono is immensely amusing and GF is light and fluffy.
For maybe like two people other than me who's watching Asura Cryin' a second season has been green lit unsurprisingly for fall.
I wonder if "Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite" is on this album. That would be pretty epic.

It is. Now somebody on Nico needs to put Snake in this.
The new episodes so far take place chronologically between episodes of the first season. They aren't related directly to old episodes. You probably don't need to rewatch anything.
The first episode of season two takes place after S1's episode 7, and the second and third new episodes take place after S1's episode 10. The order isn't really so important other than you see evidence of the S2 happenings in the later S1 episodes.
Damn.
Monster is completely awesome.

Also this thread title is 100% accurate, everyone here should read Scott Pilgrim. *points to avatar and sig*

Monster is very good...but be ready. It's long for a reason: namely, it wanders like a hyperactive school child on a field trip at times.
I have been watching it off and on (Though more off than on lately, I'm quite behind), so this is some pretty good news to me!
for some reason I thought this was In A Gadda Da Vida at first
MR. TWOOOOOOOOOOOO! ;__;
Monster is an exercise in mind fucks. The main villian is easily one of the top 5, imo.
