(P.S. I *hated* School Days for its "fuck you" ending and nonsensical character development)
Since I haven't posted in a while due to internet suck, here's where I stand with most of the anime I've watched this season in no particular order.
Bakuman 1-7: I don't find it terribly funny nor do I have any special like for the characters, but for some reason I'm interested in what they're doing and I want them to succeed.
Fortune Arterial 1-5: Dropped at 5 for boring. I found myself skipping forward a few seconds here and there as early as episode 3, and it hasn't gotten any better. Vampires were very much an afterthought in this story.
The World Only God Knows 1-7: Around episode 6 I stopped caring about this show. I don't like the main character or pretty much anything that's going on. The only reason I'm still watching is because I've already watched half of it anyway, and because Elsie is one of the cutest things I've watched all season. You can't mend a broken tree with a pink ribbon! But it's adorable that you tried <3
MM! 1-7: Eh... I've had sinking feelings about this anime since episode 3 (or whichever episode they went to the zoo). I don't feel like this is really going anywhere, but I'll finish watching it anyway since I've come so far.
Panty & Stocking 1-7: Episode 7 was great again. I was starting to wonder if this would just be sex and violence for the sake of sex and violence (and ep5 part 2 was really weird), but episodes 6 and 7 were really amazing. Hoping some deeper plot develops with those demon sisters, but it won't kill me if they keep the status quo. This is one of the first anime in a long time I can honestly say has style.
Shinryaku! Ika Musume 1-7: The only anime of the season I'm downloading and storing. It's so entertaining in such a simple way and I can't stop myself from liking it. Have you guys been watching the sea during the ending credits? Funny things have been floating/flying by. Also, if anyone can find the full version of the ending theme ("Metamerism" by Kanae Ito), I would appreciate a PM.
Star Driver 1-6: I know it's bad. They're sticking to a very strict formula and have explained very little about what's going on and why. It's beyond ridiculous and pretends that it's totally normal. It's more homoerotic than that gay vampire in Fortune Arterial. All that said, the insanity is well put-together and I am interested and want to know what happens. At least this brand of crazy hasn't yet left me with a week-long wtf-face like Daimaou did. Also, does anyone else find that song and story being told by Sakana-chan catchy and interesting respectively, too?
To Aru Majutsu No Index 1-6: Okay, so I'm just going to pretend the first arc didn't happen and continue. In hindsight, the more I've watched of this series (Index 1 -> Railgun -> Index 2) the lower my opinion of it has gotten. Here's hoping things start making sense and happening for a reason. By the by, does anyone else think Kuroko's teleportation is overpowered? When in doubt, teleport a needle into their fucking heart. Even the Accelerator can't deflect something that can instantly displace the top half of his head from the bottom.
Oh, and does anyone have one of those big pictures that shows what anime are coming out in the mid-season? Or does it even exist for the mid-season?
