With rare exceptions like Last Exile and Full Metal Panic, GONZO hasn't produced anything else in the way of GOOD anime in a long time. Fanservice != Great Series, its just a sure-fire way to make some money pandering to teens with ecchi.
Well, I'd give Baku Ten the benefit of doubt. So far the actions look only so-so, but then it's just the first episode and it seems the second episode will have some more action. Also the plot has barely started yet, and GONZO can do some good plots at times even with series full of fan-service and CG effects, ie. Vandread series.
