Kimi ni Todoke is a pretty slow paced series, I'll say that. Cute, romantic, and heartwarming series if you're patient and willing to follow the pace of the story. I'll second what Salguod said a page ago about it- the slow pace really works.
Angel Beats 1-2: I'll have to wait and see where this goes. Interesting story and setting, but there's little promise for it because really- where can the plot go? Nice themes and cool characters too. I don't think Haruhi copy is exactly a bad thing, it's actually a bit pleasant. Meanwhile, how about that Michael Rivas? He's the dude who voices TK; a new seiyuu from America who moved to Japan to do stuff in anime production like being a seiyuu, dubbing in Japanese TV shows, and singing. That was pretty neat to see a seiyuu like that in this show.
Arakawa under the Bridge 1: Strange, but I'm digging it. Very funny too. The best laugh in the episode was when I saw Nino sleeping in the drawer of the incredibly expensive looking bed- especially when her ahoge hung out. I also laughed at the episode preview with the whole live action version of the mayor.
K-On!! (Season 2) Episode 1: Opening has such nice animation, but the music isn't so great. What a combination. Ending animation is was better than "Don't Say Lazy", but the costumes not as nice. Song was just about as good, and if not that, then maybe a bit worse than "Don't Say Lazy"- but not by much. This episode seemed a bit preachy, and it seems Kyo-Ani knew that so they put an assload of forced moe. Oh God- Mio imagining Azusa all alone- I was thinking to myself, "Goddamn, this scene better end fast." There was some pretty good humor in here though.
