There are practically no stand-out OP's this season. Hanasaka Iroha would have been without those awful vocals.

dororon enma-kun has an amazing op and no.. iroha has a terrible op.

Nichijou's OP has found its place in my all-time favorites. Besides that, I like AnoHana's and even Hanasaku Iroha's - those vocals match Ohana's character well.

I feel like it's premature to start judging this season, but as long as everyone else is making their lists, here's mine.

Watching:
1. Nichijou
2. AnoHana
3. Hanasaku Iroha
4. Denpa Onna
5. Tiger and Bunny
6. Kaiji S2
7. C
8. Sket Dance

Dropped:
Deadman Wonderland

Still need to watch:
Dororon Enma-kun
Moshidora
Blue Exorcist
Hyouge Mono
Gintama (all 200+ episodes, oh boy)

Doesn't stack up to S1's though.
It's better. The first season's was, hmm, flashier so to speak but after the first time I just skipped it, the second one's fun to listen to, I might hum it while I'm brushing my teeth.

I don't know what’s worse, that the shows about underage boys or that I original thought it was about lolis with a piece after watching video.

what am i assuming here?

Well obviously, people are more uncomfortable with shoutas than they are with lolis. Lolis are the norm but shoutas still have that Other-ness for the uninitiated.

If anything, lolis are more ungodly than their penile counterparts. A running theme in shoutacon is innocence and sexual exploration. Lolis, on the other hand, are just undersized girls.

If you're saying that erotica isn't a prerequisite for loli material then I guess you're right (although sexual undertones are still highly likely...), but not all shota-centric stories are ero either. Btw, I guess I've been desensitized to shota ever since I first saw Po-ju comics. Don't read or look these up if you don't want to be confused about your sexuality, lol.

I was only speaking in the context of porn, but I guess it also applies to non-ero stories.

OreImo Kuroneko is a bad tsundere route. Was the show really always just about exposition regarding some inane niche subject catering to otaku? Did Kirino give 5 minute speeches about how porn games are designed?

It's been so long that I can't remember if this was just a bland episode or if the entire show was just a series of nerd references linked together by a tsundere girl yelling at the main character.

It was like that from the start.

Alright, have'nt really been fully focused on anime in years but I thought I'll give some of the new stuff a chance since I have time, so I've been watching:

Kaiji S2
Deadman Wonderland
Ao No Exorcist
C. Control

I wanna know, what are the best anime this season for drama, and best for comedy?

Speaking of comedy, anyone know if there'll ever be an anime made for Yotsuba?

Hanasaku Iroha and Dororon Enma-kun.

As for Yotsuba, probably won't happen.

Been like that since episode 1, although at least Kuroneko is fun to watch when she teases the bro.

Not in this one, but I have an awful feeling she'll be back for the final one *barf*.

If we will it hard enough IT WILL HAPPEN DAMNIT!!! T_T

Thank you all for the recommendations. Much appreciated, love the anime community on here. ;)

Question, how do guys watch the moe/cute type of anime, knowing someone could just walk in any second and be all O_O. It's one of the main reasons why I tend to watch stuff with more of a mature/adult appearance/art.

I have friends and siblings that I could actually watch that stuff with, that helps.
