Guess I'll do it too.
To Love Ru Darkness
It's like the manga, but censored. Of course, the sexy isn't really toned down at all, just whited out. I don't think I really care enough to wait for the BDs, but I also don't immensely care about the show in the first place, so maybe I will.
From the New World
Interesting premise and atmosphere marred by uninteresting and barely explained dialogue. The intros are cool, but that's about it. May watch only those, but otherwise, dropped.
Magi
A godly source getting a butchered opening. I don't know if I can dissociate myself from the manga enough to really enjoy this, but I'm confident the Balbadd arc will be well done. It's just a shame that a solid intro was turned into something with inconsistencies and shoddy development.
Psycho Pass
It's a cool cyberpunk story. That's really all I need to enjoy it. The first half or so of the first episode was slow and boring, but it was good build-up in retrospect after the exciting 2nd half. Butch does it again.
Robotics;Note
As a fan of the Science series anime, I'll give this a good chance. For now, it's kind of slow, but the setting is interesting enough to keep me watching even if it is wildly different in tone from both Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Far and away above my expectations. I was hyped for Battle Tendency and saw Phantom Blood as a necessary evil, but David Production was able to bring the most uninteresting part of the franchise to animated format, and elevating it above the source material with even more exaggerated poses and delivery. Possibly the best show of the season so far.
If It wasn't for my Delusions, I would have Fucked 100 people by now
I am not a fan of Kyoani's character designs, nor am I fan of their adaptations of vapid works. With the promise of action-packed delusions, I went into this with an open mind, but didn't really see much to keep my attention. Think I'll wait for a delusion compilation, so dropped.
Zetsuen no Tempest
Well-choreographed fight scenes that will hopefully be much more prominent than in the manga. I can ignore the nonsense if the show at least gives me that.
Gintama' Overdrive
It's Gintama. That means it's hilarious.
Btooom!
A shoddy adaptation of a manga I really enjoy. The OP is very good, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about it as an adaptation. That being said, I like the source enough to tough it out and watch this whole thing.

I like the action and I'm a lot more forgiving of the direction than some people, but that color scheme does bother me a bit. It's not enough to make me drop it, but hopefully I'll get used to it. I'm more concerned about understanding the story than that honestly.
Ixion Saga DT
It's amusing if not laugh out loud funny. I don't think I'd compare it to Gintama like some people here are, but I'm having enough fun to stick with it for now. Definitely one of the fresher "teleported to a fantasy world" premises I've seen if only because the main is a 4th-wall breaking nerd.
Code:Breaker
As an adaptation, it's pretty damn good. Unfortunately, the source has recently made me ragequit, which will definitely color my impressions of the anime even if it is well-produced. Of course, it's not like it wasn't making me angry even in the earlier phases. I do want to see how certain... brutal scenes are handled. Ogami's burning was even more detailed than I expected it to be, so future developments will be interesting at least.
Litchi de Hikari Club
This has absolutely no reason to exist. Will keep watching.
Hayate no Gotoku: Can't Take my eyes off you
One of the weirdest "adaptations" I have seen. It's combining certain story portions, and I really have no clue where they're going with it. I'll keep watching because the best character is in it, but I don't know if I can really be optimistic about future developments.
Medaka Box Abnormal
Fast-paced, Nisio nonsense, fights, trolling. It's everything I wanted out of this. I'm mostly anticipating the ending, just to see if they do it the way I want. With the amount of trolling they've already done, I'm starting to think they actually might do it.
Teekyu
It's not even 3 minutes of random nonsense. Definitely something I can deal with week to week.
