at the very least, these anime (like SAO or other popular anime) can act as a way of getting people to watch more. At some point, they might start being more critics toward their older tastes!
Some of my favourite anime are probably because of the "wow" and novelty effect that came with it. I don't believe they are the best of the best. It just happened that I started with them and I enjoyed them. Some casual people I know are really loving Attack on Titans. While it is not bad, I find it has many flaws that make it hard to watch sometimes (for me). But to them, who may not be "expert" in anime, it is something amazing. AT some point, themes repeat themselves. Some anime can be generic if you watch alot of them (same with books and other "cultural stuff")
Back to business : Now that some anime are over, will new ones take their place? What should I keep my eye on?

There better be a season 2 for this shit. And not something like everything is the same, more wacky shenanigans. Something closer to what I'm guessing Haganai 3 is going to be like. First we get SAO and now people want Haganai, what is up with people wanting bad things tonight.
I WILL END YOU

If you haven't seen Usagi Drop, you should also check that out. Best "feel good" anime imo.

What do you mean by 'meat' (and 'broom?' I don't remember anything from IS aside from "ecchi")? Do you mean the blonde chick? o.o
I agree it wasn't a great series by any means but it wasn't IS. I actually enjoyed Haganai lol.

Thing about IS is that, in spite of all the stupidity, the author actually doesn't focus so much on the retarded broom antics that makes the series unbearable. There are just too much stupid all around that he actually can't write mostly about the most retarded of them all. This magically made it a somewhat bearable series with the most painful portions kept at bay by other considerably less dumb portions.
Haganai on the other hand had meat, a lot of meat, and it doesn't stop throwing meat at you because she is actually popular. If it had only followed the IS ways of the main 'plot' being diluted down to nothing by infinite side characters, it would actually have been better. Sadly that wasn't the case and mecha porn didn't take as much time as it could've.
Also not reading manga never pays.

It had a lot of meat, but I didn't feel like her character overpowered Yozora's (thankfully, as I liked Yozora). It could have definitely used more Rika and other characters not meat (especially older sister nun), but it sounds like you just have some pet peeve with meat so eh. Personally, I felt Maria was the most annoying character in that show, so maybe if she had as much air time as meat I'd probably be in the same boat as you.
Could it have been better here, there, everywhere? ofc. Is it good? Probably not. Still, it's definitely likeable, and not complete trash.

As for the actual content of haganai, I'd like to remind you of this little gem
Oh also, while I hated meat with a passion, I was probably most pissed off by reverse trap. I blame Chinese for that.
