Deadman Wonderland - @#%^ing Awesome. Story follows a student who witnesses the murder of 29 classmates and friends by a man in red with incredible powers only to be framed for everything. The court gives him the death sentence and is forced to live out his life at the corporate owned prison known as Deadman Wonderland- a giant circus using the inmates as its main attraction. In the last few minutes, we discover that if the prisoners don't eat special candy every 72 hours, they will be killed. No Exceptions.
One moment everything is sunshine and rainbows then the setting becomes one of the bloodiest scenes I've seen in televised anime. My favorite part involves a strange and incredibly innocent-sounding girl swinging metal pipes at her friend while calmly laughing "Ok, I'll kill you now ^^". As far as the plot- it kind of reminds me of Ergo Proxy without the mystery aspect.
This anime looks interesting and definitely worth watching. As far as unique/action shows go, this and Control are both great contenders with lots of possiblity.

Tiger and Bunny: Super heros with corporate meddling. Interesting premise the CG/Anime style is uniquely refreshing and seems to fit pretty well. Also they seem to be trying to fit as many sponsor plugs in as possible to show how far everyone sells out. Depending on where the series go looks like it's going to be a decent anime. Sidenote: Whoever is subbing this is using damn small font, From the Hulu plus commercial in the middle of the episode (Even though I torrented) looks like a simulcast with Hulu, not sure.

Hanasaku Iroha: Big town girl meets small town. Looks to be shaping up as a Drama-edy. I really like the animation, its clear vivid, got decently high hopes for this. Hopefully it doesn't drop the ball, by going to drama with no comedy but from the writing it looks to be able to walk that fine line very nicely.
Nichijou: On the fence with this anime. Firstly I wasn't to impressed with the animation style but it fits perfectly. The best way to describe this anime, is animated ADD. To me at the moment seems it might be trying a bit to hard, I wanna say some parts are epicly funny, but on the other side that's what it's trying to be so it feels off. I'm keeping my eye on this until I can make further judgment.
X-men: Haven't watched this yet and I will probably skip it, Its the same vein as Ironman and Wolverine, Marvel-anime. From my quick glimpses of the raw (It is subbed now but I haven't watched it yet) I do like the art direction in which this version shoots for.

Stein's Gate: Batsh*t crazy, Self proclaimed mad Scientist, paranoid delusional man, who by all accounts so far might be really smart, has 2 friends a Cute carefree girl that calls him by a cutesy name, and self proclaimed great 'hacker' otaku, make up his 'lab'. The animation is very jagged and color washed to give more of a realistic feel. Seems the series is going to 'possibly' be about time travel of some form, or something its pretty vague atm. Definitely looks to be a must watch for me, as I loved the humor, and the characters so far.
As for the story and the pacing might be a bit weird but it lends itself to how the story is told.
Feel free to add new animes to this as they get released in the next week or two with your impressions. I'll try to edit them in as I watch them.

Sengoku Otome Momoiro Paradox: Ditsy teenage girl gets teleported to

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai: Harem/Fanservice/Ecchi of some sort first episode was all over the place seems to be a few 'main' characters. Seems to be catering to all the fetishes, with maid girls, lolis, big sister types. Animation is pretty good, very clean look. I like some of the characters, not often you hear a male character tell a female (thats into him) "Go crawl in a hole and die". Had a some good chuckles from the jokes, as of yet I have no clue what the story will pertain as.
Dororon Enma kun Meeramera: Reboot of old 70's anime. Animation is crisp and nice but the designs seem dated, which is kinda cute I guess. Jokes range from decent to meh. Not sure about this anime, It seems classic but in today anime selection kinda lacking. Not sure if i will follow this series.

Softenni: Soft Tennis, tennis club (girls) in middle school, tons of panty shots, cutesy animation, sexual inenddos. Mediocre at best. Not much to say about this.

A Channel - Story about 4 school girls. Three are in the same class, one is a cute air heard, and the fourth is a year younger and a bit vicious. Not sure where the show will go, but seemed entertaining enough.
Yondemasu yo Azazel-san: Demon Detective and his new secretary, He seems a mild mannered detective but is really a demon summoner. But the Demon he summons while being vile seem completely daft. Leads to some very funny conclusions, animation is hit or miss, Some things being animated closer to reality, some being more 'cartoony'. Definitely had a few chuckles during the show. Waiting til a few episodes in to make a better decision.

Hen Zemi: Ummm, At first the animation style was weird but cute. Its really perverted but funny at the same time, after doing a little digging its a Series sequel to some OVA that were released. But still did a good job of showing the different characters. This could definitely be the underrated series of the season. It depends on how the next few episodes play out.
Astaorette's Toy: Princess of the Creature world, a succubus, is coming of age and needs to 'suck out' the "life-seed" of a male, or she will die, but she hates men! She tells her guardian that maybe if it was a human male she would be able to, problem is the world tree that connects the world was damaged long ago and the worlds are no longer linked. Seems to be a cute story, probably going to be a good romance /ecchi-ish series. Animation and art style reminds me a lot of Disgaea. Probably going to watch this series to the end.
Quote:
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi: Seems like its going to be a cut and paste harem with a dash of ecchi. Boy and his younger brother move to little town, boy meets girl and they connect. But boy has been here before and made a promise to girl B who hasn't showed up yet. Animation is decent, the anime goes for the big eye on everyone look. Another filler anime IMHO.
Armored Trooper Votoms: Votoms Finder ?OVA series? Basic Mech anime, first I thought it would be mediocre and it kind of is but was still a fun watch. Has a very Robotech type animation style based off Armored Trooper Votoms a 52 episode anime back in the 80's. Neat back story hopefully they built on it well.
Quote:
[C] (Control) The Money of Soul and Possibility Control : Weird awesome, in a good way. Animation is passable but has a very odd feeling. Story is completely messed up as way to many things have gone unexplained but this is a definite watcher. It starts off showing kind of what the show will be about I think, Then pops to the main character, a boy from a poor family, putting himself through school in hopes of having a steady income in civil service only because he knows it will be his safe bet. He really likes this girl but shes rich and so far only sees him as a friend. He's offered a chance to take out a loan against his 'future' and become an Entrepreneur, Entre for short. Like I said it kind of leaves it very open atm.
Also has one of the best OP of the new season.

Hidan no Aria - The show seems to focus on two high school students, but not at any ordinary high school- they're actually training to be mercenaries/gunmen. The male protagonist wants to be an average person, but when aroused, he becomes seemingly invincible and an expert fighter. The other student is a girl who (I think) is the top student at the mercenary school. Seems like an average show, so will need to watch a few more episodes to have a better opinion.
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko - Male high school student has to move to live with his aunt who lives alone, he is told. When he arrives, he meets a girl wrapped in a blanket/futon? who has an unusual personality and tendencies. So far the show is crazy and could be something worth watching.

Ao no Exorcist (Blue Exorcist) - Boy, raised by a priest alongside his twin brother, finds out he's the son of Satan. Bad things happen(priest dies) while Satan is trying to take the boy back to the realm of demons. Boy enlists with the organization the priest belongs to and becomes an exorcist. So far it doesn't necessarily seem like it'll be more than a basic shonen anime, but it was enjoyable to watch.
Edited: for ease of seeing different shows.
