Lol, please make sure the descriptions are very informative and inviting to all.
There's at least 7 shows I'd be willing to watch the first couple of episodes for so not that bad. Still dissapointed that Polygon is doing Ajin but what can you do, Madhouse can't adapt all the things I want I suppose.
Started watching Gatchaman Crowds on a whim and it's really interesting so far and not at all what I expected coming from my limited knowledge of Gatchaman. I don't want to jump on Hajime for being annoying after only two episodes but she sure is something. I like how colourful the show is and the CG suits are pretty cool.
What's looking good then?
Aside from the obvious continuations, I would say Ajin, Sekkou Boys and Boku Dake ga Inai Machi are all at least interesting enough to warrant the 3 episode-rule. Schwarzesmarken is a MuvLuv anime, right? I haven't read anything from the novels so far, but MuvLuv is also considered to be pretty good, right? So there is another one.

I'll have to admit that I'm only basing this on looking at the seasonal chart and reading the description.
Could you elaborate on what I should expect of it?

Let's be honest, both exist solely to pander to the otaku crowd, lol. The battles are the best part of both shows. Outside if Shizuku, Calvary has been a much better watch so far.

Next season looks fine to me? Tons of 2-cours continuing, and a few new things that could be interesting. Seems like business as usual for me.

I think AoT has lots to offer even outside the action sequences because the world building is just really well done and consistent so far. For instance, I just like stuff like the details of the survey corps riding formation in the second half. Life and politics inside those walls is interesting to me, too.
However, it sucks when they try to hype up even the more mundane sequences and these are also way too long. The latter is probably part production issues and the need to fill out the material some more to fill the 25 episodes.
With the success the anime (and manga) had I would hope production gets more resources the next time around and they waited for the manga to progress, so hopefully there's enough content. I guess hoping they'd tone down the edginess is a fruitless endeavor though -_-
AoT can also quickly fall apart for me. Again, up to know I'm really loving the world building and the story appears to be well thought through. The longer running a show is, though, the more likely it is for all that to fall apart because it gets more and more complex and the author likely didn't think think that far ahead other than maybe some rough outlines.

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is a manga set in Showa era Japan (specifically, I believe it's set in the 1950s), which focuses on the lives of people associated with rakugo. Rakugo is a traditional Japanese form of comic storytelling, in which a solo performer sits on stage and, with just limited movement and his voice, acts out a narrative. The anime adaptation is being handled by Mamoru Hatakeyama (a pen name for Shinichi Omata, formerly employed at Shaft), one of the most talented directors working in anime today and a special favorite of mine. The first arc of the manga was released as manga-bundled OADs, the first of which I've seen and enjoyed, and that material will be repackaged as part of the TV series. It's a rare case of anime treating a serious, adult story, and anyone who appreciates that and appreciates good, grounded character drama should find something to enjoy here. You can watch a trailer here.

That much is fair. It's something that has been bothering me with a lot of characters. Plus various flaws depending on the season.
I mean in a sense, Smile was derivative of Yes! 5.
I think though, as much as I've seen it, I think Saban might make it feel fresh and potentially change character personalities and even plotlines (not like there's a major plot line here) for their dub.
.....Actually then again, a lot of it was already really silly (which then feels at odds at its more serious moments).
More Atusko Ishizuka. Maybe she'll have some decent material to work with for once. Same for Shinichi Omata. Return of Shirayuki-hime. Two shows by Keiichiro Kawaguchi...maybe Galko-chan will save him for once. Kouichi Chigira's debut(?) as a director at Dogakobo. Usagi Drop Dimension Dreams W 3hz/Orange. New Kyoani stuff. Maybe I will finally understand what Sekko Boys is.
Lots of interesting projects. Looks much better than last winter.

It means cancer, which also represents Nico.
Gonna bump this just once for a few more suggestions. Ended up binge watching Ping Pong and really dug it. So thanks for that recommendation.
Have you tried Space Dandy? It's pretty unique. The overall tone is definitly comedy, but each episode was directed by someone else and has a different theme. The quality (or more specifically: the enjoyment) does vary quite a bit from episode to episode, but overall it's definitly a must see. The first 2-3 episodes are not that great, but after that some of the more unique stuff happens (Zombie Episode, Road Trip Episode, Robot Love etc).
Also: Samurai Flamenco. Give it a shot, but it's probably like 50/50 if you love or hate it.
Edit: Whoops, on Hulu. Erm. ...watch them if they are there! xD
I'm not in 'murika or at a computer where I can double-check what's on Hulu, but if you've liked a bunch of the other Shaft-produced comedies and haven't already seen it, I'm pretty sure And Yet The Town Moves is on there and is pretty-darn top-tier.

Mawaru Penguindrum - It's a great show. And since you're okay with some things churned out by Shaft, you should be fairly okay with its various quirks too.
Fate/Zero - same writer as Madoka.
Shigurui - slow, creepy, extremely bloody and disturbing samurai drama. Bit of a stretch to reccomend to it given your list but it's the same director as in Steins;Gate and it has Japanese people swinging swords like in Champloo ! Be warned that it covers only part of the manga. For definitive ending you will need to go there.
Mononoke - ... I've got nothing ... It's a series a two or three episode long, standalone, arcs where the main protagonist investigates the reasons behind the existence of the titular Mononoke which are pretty much various supernatural demons/monsters. Unique artstyle and direction.
It's there. +1 for the rec.
Oh ? Then additionally: Katanagatari (Bakemonogatari x Champloo), Kyousougiga (bit like FLCL), Love Lab (very well animated comedy), maybe Birdy the Mighty Decode +Yozakura Quartet if you want more of good action in the vein of OPM.

Hyuse got on a cover, nice.
All of these are very good, excluding love lab because I've never watched it, dunno if it's funny
Based off the stuff you like maybe try
Jormungand-Very similar to black lagoon
Hajime no Ippo-GOAT sports show
Great teacher Onizuka-Classic comedy
Azumanga Diaoh-Kind of a less dialed down version of Nichijou
Baccano-Just watch it
Say i love you-Similar to my love story. Really cute/awkward couple get together early and you watch them actually dating.
Finished Nisemonogatari
Didn't like it quite as much as Bake,because it spents a lot more time on the characters without really going anywhere.
Not that it was ever boring, but a bit less focus on the characters and a bit more focus on the story would have been nice.
We don't really need to talk about the visuals , the series still looks amazing.
I will probably move on the SS soon enough.

In regards to releasing Animator Expo shorts on Blu-ray:
Anime Limited recently announced that they've acquired Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond (Link) and plan to release it on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK which lead to a poster asking about a possible acquisition of Mind Game:

Don't forget to watch Nekomonogatari Black first!
Humour is subjective and all but I dare say you would enjoy it. It has cute girls being cute in spades !
Revolutionary Girl Utena 29-30
Utena's obliviousness knows no bounds huh ?
lol at.stalker Himemiya
Not sure if this is the end of Jury's recurring plot thread but that twist at the end probably made it my favourite storyline so far.
I adore the second ED.

Well, of course. It's otaku pandering, lol.
But I feel like Asterisk is actually doing something with the chars while Rakudai is just spinning its wheels. We haven't gotten anything to build up its characters meaningfully at all recently. A bit of Shizuku and there was Ayase but Ayase isn't even in the most recent episode, lol. Otherwise it's dumb stuff and Stella being tsundere and lewd. Where with Asterisk we got a whole episode of Kirin and Saya getting to know each other better to improve their teamwork, setting up future conflicts between characters, introducing new rivals, etc.
To put it another way, Rakudai is easy to watch but it's really not interesting at all. Asterisk's last few episodes have been a little rough because of Saya and Kirin (mostly Kirin) but it still remains interesting. Asterisk could very well not have any real payoff by the time the 2nd Season ends but at least I can look forward to something, lol.

Winter 2016 looks pretty dire but there's still some things to check out.
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - Seems like the only sure bet as hosannainexcelsis has nicely summed up.
Boku Dake ga Inai Machi - I'm not familiar with the source material but premise and chara designs seem interesting enough.
Active Raid - Original show by Goro Taniguchi of Code Geass fame so it might be entertaining? Also sounds a little bit like Patlabor.
Dimension W - Sci-fi setting and the PVs seemed decent. Though to be honest I'm mostly interested due to Funimations involvement and to see if they get burned on this.
Bubuki Buranki - Studio Sanzigens 10th anniversary project so I expect to see their A-game in terms of CG animation. Other than that it seems very unremarkable though.
Musaigen no Phantom World - Sounds like typical LN shlock and normally I wouldn't get near this if it wasn't for KyoAni. Maybe it'll surprise.
Also super hyped for Kizumonogatari but I doubt I'll get to see it until way after winter season.

I dare you to name 10 ... no ... even 5 shows you didn't enjoy.
Well, a couple I didn't really care for:
Diabolik Lovers
Akasaka, The Hill Dyed Rose Madder
Akikan!
Bryhildr
Dragon Crisis
Walkure Romanze
Shuffle!
School Days
Yosuga no Sora
A Dark Rabbit has 7 lives.
I just started watching anime a year ago so I'very already managed to filter through years of garbage.
Either way, back to work, waaaay to busy to keep posting.

For those interested, Super Saiyan God Goku POP is back in stock on Funimation's website. There are also packs of SSG Goku that inculdes the last two movies, and one that includes all the movies.
I myself went for the back to back pack because its easier on my Canadian wallet.
