I think this season has been pretty generous and there's a few anime i've watched and grown fond of already, what are you guys currently watchin?

the third im starting to follow is RD Senno Chosa****u (Real Drive) (http://www.ntv.co.jp/RD/ ) studio is I.G so animation is top quality. First episode had a bit of a GITS vibe to it, though the second episode was a bit of a buzz kill in comparasin, still gonna watch on though! promo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJZBKkjYaCc

I would find a hard time recommending anything if those are what you like, lol.. They looked very boring to me. :-(
I would like to hear people's recommendations though. I tend not to watch brand new series' because I usually find the ones I like through recommendations, so bring it on!

in no particular order
Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
Kamen no Maid Guy
To LOVEru
Code Geass R2
Blassreiter
Itazura na Kiss
Kanokon
Wagaya no Oinarisama
I generally pick and choose based off of the VA's, but the manga for Kamen no Maid Guy and To LOVEru are quite entertaining so decided to pick those 2 regardless of who the VA's were (actually looking forward to Fukuen Misato appearing as Yami on To LOVEru).
I got rather tired of watching "deep" anime...just enjoy playing an ep and not having to read too deeply into it...besides, these comedy type anime tend to be much more entertaining to watch a second time on niconico :P

Well, I could show you a list off the top of my head of what I have watched and liked, but I don't think it will really help much, as I can't remember all of what I've watched.
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball GT
Naruto
Elfen Lied
Trigun
Lucky Star
Shakugan no Shana
Bleach
Black Lagoon
Full Metal Alchemist
Da Capo
Ranma 1/2 (Thought of this one right before I hit reply.. This saddens me deeply as it was the only anime I focused on for like all of 10th grade, I was so into it. Still one of my faves of all time and I still plan on buying the rest of the series *I have 4 of the 7 seasons [1 and 5-7] + the OAV* eventually)
Cowboy Bebop (this one I had to edit in, lol.)
Claymore (another edit-in.)
Tons more I can't think of at the moment. These also are in no order, I just typed them as they came to me. Also, I don't like anything in the Gundam series, and I don't really like any animes that have to do with Gundam type things.
