Well, Lupin is obviously the best OP of the shows this season. Space Brothers has a pretty good opening, too, and I like Kids on the Slope's a lot. Those are the ones that really stand out to me right now.

I'm definitely unsure about spots 3-7, those really could still go in any order at this point. Still, here's my list at the moment.
1. Saki Achiga-hen: Episode of Side-A
2. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
3. Natsuiro Kiseki
4. Mysterious Girlfriend X
5. Polar Bear Cafe
6. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
7. Upotte!
8. Yurumates 3D
9. Medaka Box
10. Naruto SD: Rock Lee's Adventures
Still need to watch: Lupin, Hyouka, Space Brothers

What's wrong with that?
I wish I had massive tits. I always lose my flash drives.
Man, if only that wasn't Code Geass.
The greatest OP this season because of Wakamoto.
The non-Wakamoto version is tiers and tiers behind this.

You forgot about her awesome robot, that has a motorcycle like cockpit.
Yes! I've been looking for this ever since they took it down on youtube. Best ED is still Accel's World mainly because of it's synthpop music.

I just finished my marathon run this Sunday. I cannot wait until those watching now get to R2.

Here's my ranking of the OPs worth mentioning:
1. Lupin
2. Space Brothers
3. Tsuritama
4. Eureka Seven AO
5. Kids on the Slope
6. Sankarea
7. Saint Seiya Omega
8. Zetman
If I were to judge music only, I'd go with Lupin, which has far and away more compositional interest than the usual pop songs, and Space Brothers for its inspirational qualities. Perhaps Tsuritama for its happy-go-lucky quirkiness. Also would have to give a musical shoutout to the EDs of Kids on the Slope and Sankarea.

Her Knightmare Frame is awesome, I can't say the same for her.

Probably because her KMF piloting skills are too heavily relied on.
This one drives me insane every time. I always feel like it's building and building towards something but never gets there. Maybe the single version is better...
I really like Dusk Maiden's OP too for some reason. I think that and FEEL SOOOO MOOOON are probably my favorites.
As far as EDs go, Sankarea's is my favorite. No contest.

Good lord that was awesome.
The minimalism in the Lupin OP is just so good, and the way the layering with the rhythmic modulation tickles my composer brain in a good way.

I love how the first episode transitioned into the OP with the shooting stars both visually and aurally (connecting their rush with the roar of the rocket in the OP). It was the perfect way to get you pumped up for the show.
1. Fate/Zero S2
2. Apollon
3. Space Bros
4. Tsuritama
5. Sankarea
6. everything else
It's not wasteful if the additional frames are necessary to produce the feeling the director is going for, like in the aforementioned Haruhi scene.

But his past condemns him, as Zero - who apparently has no qualms about playing mind games with his childhood friend - proves.

Of course, the politics behind Britannica proved yet again that racism trumps all logic, including long-term gain from a great mecha fighter in order to finish a job the easy way.
naive thoughts to gratify his sense of justice? or shall he look forward from his past and apply it to his future actions?

So apparently, recently Bandai had a Gintama character poll to determine who would get new figurines in their G.E.M. line (which is targeted toward women). The results were as follows:
1st place: Kagura
2nd place: Hijikata Toushirou
3rd place: Yagyuu Kyuubei
4th place: Tsukuyo
5th place: Sakata Gintoki (child)
6th place: Ayame Sarutobi
7th place: Leukocyte King
8th place: Sakata Gintoki (Ver. 2)

I think she was just supposed to be this show's Kanna with more fanservice and an awesome robot.

Well they definitely made Kouga look like even more of a spoiled, self-righteous child.
And of course they skipped even more vital stuff including
They're now on chapter 90 or something.

Tsukuyo 4th place? Blasphemy!

As far as media players go, I've been using PotPlayer. Someone recommended it in the VLC 2 thread and I've had literally no problems with it.
Looks really nice with this particular skin.
Sankarea 2-4
This season is just delving into all sorts of weird girl concepts isn't it?
Ghost girls.
Drool girls.
Zombie girls.
Gun girls.
Bread girls. (lol)
Shiba Inu girls.
Shogunate Warlord girls.
Eldritch Abomination girls.
Vampire girls... conspicuously missing this season (i might be wrong on that).
Anyhow this show's been pretty enjoyable but my lord that ED. Just... man. Fuckin' beautiful.
Where do you get that skin?

I'm surprised Kyuubei is so popular.

Being able to pilot that KMF is what makes her awesome.
Then again I favor Kallen in most situations; this is my biased opinion.

I think the only purpose of this series is to dress up Neji in as many outfits as possible each episode.
An ok episode. The two stories weren't that bad, nothing really that funny, just a little amusing I guess.
I still think the ED is one of the best though. I might be watching the whole episode just for that.

Most of the OPs this season are pretty bad and not worth mentioning. Apollon's is pretty cool, but it cuts so many corners visually and the audio balancing is so bad it's kind of embarrassing. Lupin is probably my favorite, very interesting both visually and unique on an audio level.

This is anime we are talking about. No one actually pilots a mecha.

Hoo boy, so, quite a little adventure this one.
This episode was a tad of fan-service and a tad of self-reflection, with a dash of mecha moves.

Stranded.
Zero gets to know the princess better and Kallen gets to see another side and history to Suzaku. vice versa. They seem at odds, but it was a decent time to see more side characters speak with the faces of the series (also Kallen's nakeness).
So, the use of Geass on Suzaku came as I expected, but sooner than I thought. I expected something more...more. I dunno. Anyhow, it's not too much a biggie.

their location during the episode, lolwut
The new mecha they got looks freakkin' beast though. It comes off as Anubis-ish to me, though I may be wrong on this inspiration.

I have to agree with this.
In Code Geass, as soon as you hop into any mech, BAM
"All your moves and operation are known to me."
Well, they do come from Japan, the land of intuitive controls.
Wait, that's not it.
Kind of want an animated Mechwarrior/battletech show

How hard can it be? All I ever see is someone pushing/spinning the roller-button and the magic happens.
