So I'll be watching:
Stein;Gate
Natsume Yujincho (seasons 2 & 3)
Nichijou (maybe)
Mayo Chiki! (maybe)
Bunny Drop (maybe)
Any good recommendations from last seasons stuff (or prior) that I should watch?
I've watched almost nothing that came out in the last year.
I'm about 3 episodes into Nichijou and so far, so good.
Considering Mayo Chiki is completely out of my realm of typical viewing, I watched about two-thirds of it and it was funny, at least. Didn't finish it, just stopped watching one week as I often do with shows like that. If you're into the whole ecchi/romance/comedy shtick you should like it.
Unmentioned solid shows from the year (Winter 2011-Finished Fall 2011 shows):
Level E was solid. Funny and entertaining. A goofball mix of aliens, humor, and action.
AnoHana was top notch drama-stuffs. Manly tears, manly tears.
UN-GO started a little weak with some episodic/formulaic mystery but then hit a solid stride of stories that loosely strung together into something rather gripping and it ended as a well-made show with an art style and set of characters I quite liked.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica turned the magic girl idea on it's head and was a rather glorious, brooding affair.
Deadman Wonderland was an entertaining action gore-fest.
Redline (movie) was an obscenely stylish, very fun watch which I recommend.
The Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail OVAs also wrapped up, if you liked Black Lagoon.
Going back just a little farther to Fall 2010, Kuragehime was a spectacular slice-of-life/comedy. That's a big seal of approval for me, given that it's not my usual genre. Panty and Stocking was also a funny-as-hell and very weird show. If the Powerpuff Girls was a deplorable sex comedy, that would be Panty and Stocking.
My top picks for the year, more or less in order:
Steins;Gate
Mawaru Penguindrum
AnoHana
Madoka Magica
UN-GO
And I'll also push Redline
