Holy crap, I'm up to a dozen shows. And I haven't even watched any of Hyakko yet.
Favorites
Clannad ~After Story~
I'm still waiting for the widescreen versions to start being released but, you know, it's Clannad. I don't even need to have seen it to know it's awesome.
ef - a tale of melodies
Melodies has so far been every bit as great as Memories was. I love the artistic style of this series coupled with the delicious romantic drama. And Mizuki is love.
Tales of the Abyss
Fantasy/adventure, game-based anime gogogo! I love good fantasy series and TotA is delivering. It's also making me want to play the game.
Toradora!
I knew I was going to like this series if only because of the tsundere, but it's turning out to be even better than I thought. All the main characters so far are plenty amusing and it doesn't ride on the tsundere alone.
Very Enjoyable
Shugo Chara!! Doki
Continuing where the first series left off, Doki is just as full of magical girl moe as the first one was. And we finally, finally get to see more of Dia! This makes me happy.
Chaos;Head
Dagger's fanspazzing has not lead me astray yet. Takumi's delusions and paranoia have been amusing to watch and the mystery elements are intriguing. There is also an abundance of long, pink hair, which I enjoy way too much.
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens
This one turned out to be a lot better than I expected. I figured it would be mediocre and generic but it's been hilarious in the three episodes I've seen so far. Ep3, in particular, had a ton of bits that cracked me up. I love Nagi's personality and watching her toy with Jin is great fun. And the girls' hair is excessively animated, which I am also enjoying way too much.
Worth Watching (Probably)
Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka
It's disappointing that a series with such a loaded cast isn't better than this, but I've still been enjoying Akane-Iro enough to stick with it. Then again, I watch a lot of school romantic comedies even if they aren't the greatest. I dunno if this will be worth watching for people who are't already fans of the genre.
Kyo no Gononi
So far, this has mainly just rehashed material from the previous OAV, and the new content wasn't that great. In some parts of the first two episodes it felt like they stretched things out just to kill time. But, while I'm not too impressed since I watched the OAV first, I'll stick with the series if they have new content that's on par with the stuff that was already in OAV.
To Aru Majutsu no Index
I just can't shake the feeling of similarity between this and Shakugan no Shana. Which makes me uneasy since Shana was decidedly mediocre and the tsundere ended up being most of my reason for watching it. Index even has a similar catch in that, if it's also mediocre, I will probably keep watching for the amusing lolis.
Michiko to Hatchin
This is not exactly the type of anime I generally watch but, hey, I do enjoy variety. Ep1 was nearly all character introduction so we'll see what happens from there. It seems like I could either end up really liking it or being completely bored with it, depending on how things go.
Kemeko-DX
I was not impressed with the first episode, which made me sad because I thought this show would be funnier. It had a few laughs but nothing that great. With everything else I'm watching, it may end up getting dropped if it doesn't improve.
Dropped
Yozakura Quartet
The first episode was lame and, from what Shin has said, the next couple aren't any better. I wasn't very interested in this show to begin with, anyway.
