First off…

Moe-tan

Episodes viewed so far: 2.

Impressions: Well…it’s moe, that’s for sure. Though, the show crosses the line at points, it makes up for it with some decent comedy.

Potemayo

Episodes viewed so far: 1

Impressions: Very, very funny. If Guchuko doesn’t qualify as one of the best characters of the year, then none of them do. Sadly, I’ve only been able to see the first episode, but it really impressed me. The jokes never felt flat, and it all flowed together nicely.

Umisho

Episodes viewed so far: 4

Impressions: A very solid show. It’s a “turn-your- brain-off” fanservice show, but it a very well done fanservice show. It spices up the usual clichés of the genera, so that it’s fun and rather refreshing. Those who don’t like this type of show won’t be impressed, but for those who actually like to have fun, it’s a very worthwhile show.

Code-E

Episodes viewed so far: 2

Impressions: It’s interesting, but very laid back. Because of this, it gives off the same vibes as the “Read or Die” TV series. Though, they really shouldn’t be compared. They are both two completely different shows. Still, it’s been a nice show so far. And it’s got Halko Momoi, that’s a plus.

Zero no Tsukaima: Season 2

Episodes viewed so far: 4

Impressions: It’s taken everything that made the first season great, and made it even better. It’s making so much headway. My only complaint is that it isn’t explaining the conflict between the various nations and kingdom very well. A good fantasy show should develop the overall scope of the world that they are in. Otherwise, Louise-chan is 10x more moe, Siesta is 10x more moe and sexy, everything is just generally better. Though that’s not to say that the first season was bad, because it wasn’t.

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai

Episodes viewed so far: 5

Impressions: Wow, this is in the same boat as ZnT2. It carries on from the first series, and improves on areas where the first season was obviously lacking.

Doujin Work

Episodes viewed so far: 4

Impressions: Another solid comedy this season. It’s a show about a young woman, with no interest in the Anime/Manga culture before, decides to take up writing and drawing Hentai doujishi looking for big bucks. It’s like “Comic Party”, but twisted. Every episode has never failed to make me laugh.

Baccano!

Episodes viewed so far: 1

Impressions: Yay for EPIC violence and dark comedy. It’s a bit confusing, but it left me wanting more. SO far, so good.

That’s all I’ve had a chance to watch so far, though there are a lot of other promising shows out there as well.
