In here, there will be a very very long list of series.

Rules of this list; comments will be possible AFTER the list is complete.
All the anime titles here are first-seasons only, with some very minor exceptions. Therefore, NO sequels or OVA-after-a-show or Movies. There will be no download links, as it wasn't very hard to get any of the ones that already had a subtitled version. In English.

Have fun, but most importantly; think before you post. Fanboying is not allowed.

These scores are based upon my own OPINION. If you have a problem with it, go to any other place and whine about it; they are all based on comparison of absolutely all the anime series I've seen this season

Here's the Data set:
Title (possibly with a screenshot later)
My score

Two-lines max thoughts and a small conclusion.

Skipping: Wellber no Monogatari 2 (Sequel)

Rosario to Vampire
5/10

Usually, harem series are indeed brain-dead and no to little story. This one, well, got substantially higher quality than many others and can be watched, but don't expect this show to gain any more respect from me.

Will not be watched any further.

H2O: Footprints in the Sand
4/10

H2O is a galge-to-anime conversion, and much more is not needed to say. The male character (the lucky guy) in this series starts off as blind with 2 billion girls around him, and later, he is getting better (and so did the quality). Very nice art style though.

Will not be watched any further.

Persona: trinity soul
2/10

It's pretty severe when you have to turn around in a series. This is one of them, too bad; the PS2 game wasn't even half this bad. I can't say much more, there were some story, but you know it won't go far when characters are dying.

Will not be watched any further.

Yeah, this is an only-for-girls show.. I kinda liked it. What's worse; the plot Changes from episode to episode, it seems.. whether or not this is for certain, I cannot tell right away. The main girl character is stunning... just amazing.

Might be interesting to follow.

Zenryoku Usagi
5/10

It's the first kid anime on this list. I may add that I had no problems sitting through it, but I had problems with the lack of any plot; hence that this is a comedy. The guy you should pay attention to is the foreman, which is a rapper. (no joke)

Will not be watched any further.

True Tears
6/10

Yes, it's a school-life anime that follows loosely on a galge, if I'm not mistaken. With such a thin plot, adding a very standard essence of romance to it is cheap.. I didn't follow this anime all the way, it was just too shallow.

Will not be watched any further.

Sometimes, I find gold.. this one, is more like dirty gold.. I cannot entirely call it off, because the story from the episode was kinda cool. Also, there wasn't enough characters here to really base many facts upon. That is also not required, since this anime actually digs into their background right off the bat! Not bad..

Might be interesting to follow.

Ookami to Koushinryou, Spice and Wolf
7/10

Oh boy, this season's most discussed anime. Everything here was good.. animation, main characters, the magic, the boin.. yeah, pretty much everything was good, not great.. except that it's in the 15th century. That sucks.

Might be interesting to follow.

Skipping: Hakaba Kitarou (Sequel to Gegege no Kitarou)

Moegaku 5
6/10

Yes, I love mahou shoujo, I love Akihabara, I love the suits.. but I don't like getting the same episode 5 times over, that feels wrong. You might say that this is an anime for Otaku that wants to be able to do cheap phrases in different languages. There's no story, too. Sad.

Will not be watched any further.

Exception; I didn't watch this anime as a kid.

The feeling of watching a 70's anime in HD was kinda weird. But I thought it was funny, so this might actually be of consideration. If you have no clue what this is, take a look at the main girl character's hero uniform, moé!!

Might be interesting to follow.

Mnemosyne
5/10

This is a TV special, more than 40 minutes long. Great visuals, though dark and futuristic. Right at the time, I had recently seen 'Alien'.. and immediately, I guessed the origin of this series. For such a long episode, it could've been done a bit different. Again; great vistuals.

Will not be watched any further.

Yotsunoha
5/10
Exception; was available for download

Yes, it is yet another galge/eroge adaptation. You guessed it, a love triangle. Nah, I'm kidding; that is what I -think- will happen. Right now, it's just 3 friends meeting again after a couple of years. How beautiful... until they all jump on him in the 2nd episode.

Will not be completed by me.

9/10

This season, there were a lot of anime titles I had hopes for, and some that just got my entire attention. Like this one. Whoo boy what an exciting plot. Unlike the butt-ugly Kaiji anime, this one doesn't have the awful animation, so my bottom line:

Will definitely be watched.

Kite Liberator
7/10
Exception; only one episode, also available

Well, as you might have guessed, this is a gun-to-gun anime, you may know that genre. Not the best I've seen of its kind, and ends with a dropping cliffhanger. Wow.. really, end it!!

One episode only.
