You guys need to watch some Gintama recap episodes. They're amazing.
Funimation has a 2012 New Title Survey posted to gauge interest in potential future releases. There are two main questions, asking which of the following titles you would purchase and which are your top four "must-buy" titles.
There are also three open-ended questions, simply asking what your favorite show is in your collection and why, and what show you would use to introduce a friend to anime, and a final optional question for any further comments on potential new titles.

The visual compositions in this show have been quite arresting. I'm lazy so I'll just post one example:
As the camera pans up to this shot, it appears that the trail of hair at the bottom is the boy's, dangling off the side of his head. But then his head turns:
And we see that it is actually part of the mask hanging on the wall behind him, the same mask that has been causing him nightmares. The hold this mask has on him is memorably demonstrated both physically, by making it appear he has partially taken on its appearance, and mentally, by the meaningful glance he gives it. There are lots of little moments like this. I'm very impressed.
Gintama's recap episodes are fun to watch because they don't actually recap anything.
I voted for Penguin Drum, Tatami Galaxy, Chihayafuru, and Nichijou - which are the only titles on that list worth anything to begin with.

I forgot about that one. Was very clever.
I voted for Tatami Galaxy but I'm sure some shitty show like Guilty Crown or some harem shit will beat it.
Would it cheer you up if we played some reversi?
That's it. I'm buying some asparagus and eating an asparagus sandwich this Friday.

This is NOT how I expected MC to act during the club scene. Amazing, lol.

I'm guessing that K-On! bombed so they're not interested in picking up the superior S2.
Also, no Wandering Son means American anime fans also suck. lol

Funimation is in it to make a buck. Unless you are actually planning on buying it, don't vote for it. There aren't very many companies left in North America distributing anime on shiny round discs.
I am gonna buy it, that's why I voted for it in the first place.
So is that just for disc release, not simulcast then?
Also, where did you hear the news from? NISA's Twitter?

Filled it out and told them to pick up some Bandai titles and release the Code Geass BDs. ;P
I voted for it husbando. O:
Voted. Chihaya and The Tatami Galaxy.

Yes, I saw it on my Twitter feed. They only mention a disc release, although they've been partnering with Crunchyroll on the other series they've recently licensed, Natsume and Brave10.

This is true.
Unless someone has already licensed it.I'm guessing that K-On! bombed so they're not interested in picking up the superior S2.

... Looking at the survey it would be amusing and perturbing if they included it, since the gender options are male or female. *laugh* Wandering Son is too progressive for Funimation. Stupid, ignorant Texans.I would seriously buy about half of those.

The best recap episode ever made IMO
You can always count to MC to be a boss.
Just like how you can always count on Yukiko showing her true colors as a harlot.
I voted for Penguin Drum (I really hope they bring it over), Chihayafuru, and Tatami Galaxy. I'm not sure how popular these shows are over here though since I don't really follow any other anime forums/threads besides this one.
Definitely getting this.
Amazing,goes to show which is the true show winter season!

Oh! Edo Rocket 23:
What a fantastic episode (I feel like a broken record on this). There were some really hilarious moments, particularly the NicoNico parody scene, and just about everything worked really well. The episode was pretty important for character development stuff, and it was nice to see Ginjiro again and find out more about his past and the focus on dreams of the people. I liked seeing more focus on the rebellion aspects that were touched upon earlier in the series.
FUNi better release Penguins and Chihaya now that they've put this poll up. I'll be mad otherwise.
I also told them to release Digimon and Sailor Moon on DVD, even though that will never happen.

The fact that Funi has stuff like 30-sai in consideration is just.....huh.
Out of that list I'd probably just buy Penguindrum, Chihayafuru, and maybe Ben-To. I've been selling off most of my anime recently because it became too much to keep buying series indiscriminately.

Well they've asked about peoples interest in Sailor Moon a few times before.

Yeah, but licensing seems to be a pretty big hurdle in the case of Sailor Moon.
I need uncut Digimon releases, though (although I know it will never happen).
I want to believe that she is pure.

I wonder if it bombed on CR as well. Previously, Cobra was their lowest rated show.This is true.
Unless someone has already licensed it.
Pack it up and close it down, anime is still dead!As if we needed another reminder.

So, I tried watching the first episode of Panty and Stocking, and I guess couldn't get into it.
So, I watched this instead:
Daily Lives of High School Boys 3
Still extremely enjoyable. I did like how the mole story ended up since I was expecting something like from the first episode so it was nice to see them not reusing the same jokes.

They're all standalone stories, although of course the movie gives you the most context and (I believe) adapts the "big" storyline that tied all the Book Girl novels together.
----
Natsume is so god-damned :firehawk that I wish I had watched the first two seasons.
Seriously, they should just forget about the continuity (well, keep all the BL stuff for the girls, I guess) and do these stories over and over again.
Also, dat cat animation:

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Voted Ben-To, Chihayafuru, Nichijou, and Ano Hana.
Ano Natsu de alien waifu 1-3
This show's much more enjoyable than I expected. Remon owns for trolling the shit outta everyone.

I thought Guilty Crown was confirmed. Regardless had to pick Symphogear. Shocked that Uta no Prince Sama and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi are up there, its like a dream. I guess those were my four.
Penguindrum could use a dub, Uraboku too, Ben-to, and Anohana. Hm so many on that list I would buy.
Named dropped Gundam Age and Sacred Seven.
But no one picks up Kimi to Boku, darn Nisa
Guess I may get this anime from them.Yukiko is pure like spoiled milk
Your avatar makes me so, so sad ;_;
Wasn't she introverted before meeting the gang? This stems from the game, though. Not sure how different the anime is.
