Doesn't seem like a good season for me...

Looks interesting
Lots of sequels coming up, like Durarara, Kuroko and Aldnoah.Zero
Especially looking forward to Ansatsu Kyoushitsu

The sequels seem to be the most promising ones this season, though I am a bit iffy about Aldnoah at this point, will watch Tokyo Ghoul just for the visuals and action even though I dislike the pacing and the censoring. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu seems to be the only new one with any potential, though that ova that came previously did not look special, who knows. The rest seems pretty generic and cliched, the only ones I am sure I am going to watch is Tsukimonogatari, KnB and the previously mentioned.
Yoru no yatterman and Tales of zestiria are a big ? Junketsu no maria sounds like a comedy, might be something. That is about it of titles that I am going to watch and those I will maybe watch depending on various factors.

Let´s see maybe something will stick out but i agree. A letdown after the current season.
Durarara and Jojo are a lock. The Zenstrai commercial, the "final" Naruto film and maybe Yamato can´t hurt but whatever.
Finaly Bahamut, Gundam G(so weird), Parasyte, Star Wars and Gravity Falls will stick around too. There will again be a lot of bitching about Tokyo Ghoul beeing missadapted and having no ending but we have the manga. I will also have fun reading and laughing about Fafnir. It was great to speedwatch the first one to see how it failed at beeing EVA or having an identity. I also don´t see a true abortion like a certain show this season. All in all: Ok.
About Aldnoah. I dropped fast due to it´s ok-ness but i know the ending.
I say it were dummy bullets like in Yakuza 4. Your heard it here first .

Actually a decent season for me, not so much for the new stuff but for the sequels, especially Tsukimonogatari. I liked Aldnoah Zero, the show was so-so but the end made a continuation look quite promising.
Sticking to the manga for Tokyo Ghoul, don't want a 3rd rate adaption to make me irritated. As for Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, I still have my doubts about an anime adaption but I guess we'll see how it goes.

The season looks alright, no good new stuff but maybe Koufuku will be the next hype (in Shaft we believe).

Well, Tokyo Ghoul continues and a new season of Monogatari. That's pretty good IMO.

I'm happy about the new season of Dog Days, but that's pretty much it already. I'll check some others out too and hopefully there's something I like there, but then again I never watched more than 2-3 series for the past couples seasons...

________________

Sequels look pretty good. Mainly Durarara and Soukyuu no Fafnir. For some reason I really enjoyed the prequel. Then again, that was years ago, barely any memory left of the prequel... Kuroko and the others, I haven't finished the prequels yet so doesn't matter. Got lazy after burning though the manga. Just another case of loosing interest over time.

New animes Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is worth looking forward to, though that's about it.

I just found out that Psycho Pass season 2 is a kind of amazing 90s ova in secret and not a pretentious bore like season 1. Read my review of the second manga Psycho-Pass 2 if you want to know why and i now need to see the movie ! The season is getting better.

Huh well. Not many there that I'll watch. Probably a good thing because I am slacking so bad when it comes to watch anime. So behind on so many series. I think I'll end up watching maybe 2-3 series this season. I'll see.

I will only watch JoJo and Kuroko. The rest seems to be really crappy, but I guess that's what happens when they massproduce anime like this.

30+ new series every season, total madness.

8 titles worth checking, out of them 3 sequels and one special. There are a couple of movies but they will be available after few more months so... Definitely not promising. Well it will be probably better then the same season 2014 - I watched only two shows and I regret one of them

My section is over based on the original manga and some tryouts of dark horse candidates: Death Parade(improved over the Anime Mirai short noticably),
Durarara!!×2 Shō (was locked it and the best new anime), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Egypt Arc (was locked and let´s reach Steel Ball Run).
Tokyo Ghoul √A couldn´t improve it seems so read the superior manga.
I may skip through Sōkyū no Fafner: Dead Aggressor: Exodus later as season 1 was just a joke. Sorry Ubukata but XEBEC is beyond help even if you pulled off Heroic Age in the long run with them.
Continuing are: Gundam: G no Reconguista(not prefect but oh well) and Parasyte -the maxim-(of course). Also: Gravity Falls + Teen Titans Go! + Star Wars Rebels.
A very decent way to start the year.
Edit: Zestira was a meh and unnecessary.

Let's see...

Tales of Zestira? Is that a new Tales game, or just one that hasn't hit the US? I've got a soft spot for Tales games, but I've never played or herd of this one yet. Might be a good thing, because from the picture provided, it looks like "Tales of Harem". Granted, most tales games have at least two love interests, but I've always admired how Namco kept a well balanced party, even in this day and age.

Tsukimonogatari will be good, but it says it's a TV special? That sucks...

Kantai Collection interests me, If only because I see the EXPLOSION of hentai that surrounds it.

Isuca? Really? I didn't know that was still ongoing and/or popular. I have twelve chapters saved on my hard drive from waaaay back when Crazy's manga was still a thing. Maybe I'll give it a second look, but it seemed to be pretty... I'm not gonna say bland, but... the word I'm failing to find is fairly similar.

Dog Days is a guilty pleasure.

I have no idea what Koufuku Graffiti is, but if SHAFT is animating it, I'll be watching it. I fucking love SHAFT. For me, SHAFT is like Midas. Anything they touch turns to GOLD. Bakemonogatari? A quick peek at Wikipedia will tell me that the Monogatari series only started winning awards after 2009. When did the Monogatari series start? 2005. When did SHAFT animate Bakemonogatari? 2009.

This is not a coincidence. SHAFT is like that one person you know who does everything better than you with minimal effort. That annoys me, but damn they're good.
