Star Driver so awesome right? I'm planning on watching a lot of series that are airing this season, but due to school related reasons I have been unable to. I have the entire episodes lined up but I'll have to watch them during summer or something @ this rate =/.
I've been watching Sora no Otoshimono lately, and you know what? It's surprisingly okay. They actually manage to balance the comedy and drama so that the show doesn't completely suck. That, or my opinion of ecchi series has been skewed by how godawful Kampfer was.
I've also been going through some more of the original Gundam, and I have to say, the guntank is the funniest thing I have ever seen in a mecha series.

The Guntank is funny, but IMO they should have kept the cannons on its nipples like in the original concept art:

@Jugglenaught: Super Robot Wars is easily the best show this season by far.
I found Eureka Seven horribly annoying. I stopped watching it after the first episode.

Ika Musume (Squid girl, hilarious moe comedy that is as retarded but more charming than it sounds) and Ore No Imuoto (google for the full name, translating to 'My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute', which is sort of self explanatory and not as SICK FUCK as it might sound, just a little bit). Both are completely hilarious.
Soredemo is also somewhat charming, and here's why:
EDIT: The idiot at the end is saying 'Thank you very maid for coming', hence the facepalming. I'm sure there's a subbed version on youtube somewhere.

What the heck is going on in Hayate these days? I can't even tell anymore. I also can't believe that the new girl qualifies as a yet another love interest.
Damnit! I was close by calling she was gonna go berserk, but she just went crazy... Better luck next time.
On another note : WTF? Who's left? Muroi-san and that's about it? Well, we can now consider some okiagaris as "good characters" too, but still. I have no idea how's gonna look the next episode without Ozaki...
After watching School Days (as can be seen above, I hope at least some people had fun reading my summaries), I was in the mood for some more romantic comedy.
So I started Amagami SS. Just finished Nakata Sae's arc. Pretty good series so far, you get exactly what you expect. A very nice romantic comedy with cute girls. ("At that moment, her eyes pierced through his heart, and he died from moe". Indeed.)
It's refreshing to see that they gave each girl their own arc, instead of trying to consolidate every girl into one big harem clusterfuck. Thumbs up for that.

then you might love Yosuga no Sora
anyone has a reliable lineup list for the winter season allready?

A romantic comedy featuring Nyarlathotep as a young ordinary silver-haired girl. Okay. oO
GOSICK looks interesting. Hourou Musuko should be good if you are looking for a serious story, as long as Wikipedia is correct.
A Magical Girl series by SHAFT, some more incest/comedy and a "boy is revived as zombie, meets many lolis"-anime (if the title card is anything to go by) apparently.
I guess it could be worse.
Edit: I fail at reading again. It's by SHAFT not by CLAMP.
Fractale looks like it might be good, as does Gosick.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica looks amazing. Kuudere loli magical girl wielding a pink chainsaw voiced by Chiwa Saito as main character. What more can you want.
OVAs also look good. KnK epilogue is a must watch, and the Black Lagoon OVA has been excellent so far as well. I really want the Mirai Nikki OVA to be good, but I have pretty low hopes for it.
And I expect the next ep of Koe de Oshigoto will come out too, so there's more hilarious pseudo-hentai to look forward to.
Edit -- I know Doki is doing the Nanoha movie, not sure how much better that is that Coalgirls though. BSS is doing it as well.

It sounds good, but I hope they don't do stupid stuff like Bakemonogatari. It's a good series, but nearly unwatchable for me, because of the art style / art shifts and insert text stuff. I think I'll try it for a few episodes and drop it if they do the same stuff again.

As far as I know the next Koe de Oshigoto OVA will be released in March.
Unrelated to the winter season: Today (26. November) is the DVD/BD release date of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st! Any ideas which groups will be subbing it? I checked my usual/preferred groups, but found no real announcement, except for Coalgirls. But I'd rather avoid another 50gb+ Coalgirls download at the moment.
