Hmmm...this season seems alright. Some hits or misses but I'm looking forward to these the most:

One Punch Man
Noragami Season 2
Haikyu Season 2
Young Black Jack
Owarimonogatari
Heavy Object
Garo Season 2
Lupin III
Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider
Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru

The Gundam series looks like it could be a big hit or miss mainly because of the staff. We'll see.

[Marcus H.]

Just a heads up, MAL also has a version of the Seasonal Anime Lineup: http://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2015/fall

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand here we go! The Light Novel Challenge will return for this season, and you know what it means: I'll probably end up being surprised or pissed by how these new LN adaptations turn out. But of course, the only way to find out is to watch them as soon as Fall hits.

Regular Selection

Owarimonogatari: The Monogatari Series continues with its Final Season with Owarimonogatari. As a fan of SHAFT's rendition of Nisio's work, there's no way I'll skip this one.

K: Return of Kings: More kings, more chaos. What I consider to be one of the most convoluted mixed media projects in recent times is gonna get a second season, and the fights seem better (and more confusing) as far as the trailer is concerned. Will the girls be offered better roles than as a counterbalance to a colorful sausagefest?

Heavy Object: Welp, another Kamachi LN gets greenlit, much to the chagrin of Index fans everywhere. Fortunately, the reception by Index fans seem positive. Personally, I'm excited, because it's a Kamachi work. It's bound to have something different in it.

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst: After Production IMS' stumble with Twintails, Shinmai Maou no Testament returns for a second season, which not only gives a renewed focus on the main cast but also on the secondary cast like Zest and Chisato. Hopefully, it doesn't suffer from the same "second season syndrome" as Date A Live. This second season would also be a bit more stimulating, so please do watch out!

Light Novel Challenge

Hidan no Aria AA: Call me a masochist, now. I've dropped this shit, and now I'm gonna pick up the spinoff. Apparently, it doesn't have the same focus as the original series and might as well be the Railgun to Hidan no Aria's Index. Still cautious though. You can't blame me.

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk: Hyped overseas to the point of having an English subbed trailer shown in a major convention, and produced by A-1. What could go wrong? Well, at least the character design is an improvement of Choco's less-impressive ones.

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry: The anime series is gonna be a riot when people start going "this is a harem!" "this is trashy battle shounen!" "this is a full-fledged romance!" in the threads. D:

EDIT: Sakurako might make it in my lineup. The part of me who liked Gosick wants me to pick it up, but there's a cautious side that needed me to wait because not all detective-themed series have taken off that well.

[DOmus]

Gonna watch:
-Kagewani
-The perfect Insider
-Kowabon
(Never been a fan of horror, so this is going to be interesting for me)
Heavy Object
Tai-Madou
Rakudai Kishi(wanna see how it goes since Im too lazy to read the LN, plus I wanna see how this does not turn into an harem)
Comet Lucifer(This might go to must watch)
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk(seasonal LN)
Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai(seasonal LN)

Must watch:
One Punch Man (THE HYPE IS REAL)
Shinmai Maou BURST (all hail to Riara)
Owari no Seraph (Certain something I want to see)

So there is not a lot for me to watch this season, might as well use the time to watch things that I have on hold.

[Honoakari]

Definitely watching:

Owarimonogatari - Looking forward to the story and PLOT.

Not sure:

Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou - I was hoping we'd get Season 2 by now (or at least an announcement)... Anyway, if I ever feel like watching it...
Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen - Been planning to watch the first season since... 2010? Oh well, I'll get to it... eventually...
Yuru Yuri San☆Hai! - Maybe they'll add some actual lesbian action this time? Probably not.
Lance & Masques - + for cute lolis and Irish music. - for the meh visuals. No idea about the story.
Hacka Doll - Looks entertaining enough despite being a TV short. Hmm...
Heavy Object - Not too enthusiastic about this series knowing Kamachi is behind it. This, and I'd rather watch Index III. But there's no Index III...
Garou: Guren no Tsuki - Something taking place before Sengoku? This is super rare in Japanese entertainment. Anyway, setting aside, no idea what to expect here.
Gochuumon ha Usagi desu ka?? - If I ever feel like watching the previous season. And maybe that other series that looks very similar...

A disappointing fall season, fitting to end a disappointing year. Hopefully, 2016 will be better...

[AntonKutovoi]

Let's see....
What I definetely plan to watch:
Kindaichi
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

Maybe I'll pick anything else, but so far this is it. I also will continue watching Gate and Ushio to Tora and Gintama (if it won't end).

[BPD Renegade]

I'll probably only be watching sequels and carryovers and throwing everything else into my backlog, but I might pick up a mindless Tier 3 title or two not on the lists below.

Will Watch
Noragami S2

Carryover
Gintama° (if it continues)

Ushio to Tora (will probably move to backlog)

To Backlog
One Punch Man

To Checkout
Kagewani
Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider (This has a good chance of being bumped up to 'will watch' since I may crave a mystery after Rokka ends)

[kuromitsu]

Definitely watching:
Garou 2 - Season 1 was awesome, bring on the second!
Concrete Revolutio - looks good, hopefully it will live up to the hype I feel about it...

I have reasonable expectations for:

Subete ga F ni naru
One Punch Man
Kowabon
Sakurako-san

Why not:
Comet Lucifer
Young Black Jack

[IceHism]

Must watch

Heavy object: cause its a Dengeki LN by kamachi with mechas
Gundam: tekketsu no orphans: cause its gundam and I love gundam
One punch man: this is AOTS. Nothing can be better than this
Sakurako San: looks cool
Subete ga f ni naru: I saw the drama for this but it deviated from book. Maybe this is more faithful

4-6 episode rule
Gakusen toshi asterisk (cautious because GA, I give all LNs a try)
Lance N masque (gokumi + shoujo looking art? Sounds fine)
Shomin sample: its an ln
Anti magic Academy : 2 cours sounds good to me
Rakudai kishi no eiyuutan: ready for sappy romance


Sequels
Gochiusa s2
Owarimonogatari
Owari no seraph 2nd cour
Shinmai maou no keiyakusha s2
Utawarerurumono s2
Soukyuu no fafner s2

Backlog, don't really care about these but I might watch later when I am bored
K: return of kings

Only leftover is gate. That is a total of 19 shows. So ill probably be aggressively looking to drop stuff if future episodes are bleh.
Won't be putting shorts on here

[mistress_kisara]

K: Return of Kings
Dance with Devils
Haikyuu S2
Noragami Aragoto
Star-Mu
Owari no Seraph S2

I'm looking forward to:

One Punche Man
Concrete Revolutio
Young Black Jack
Noragami Aragoto
Sakurako-san
Subeta F

I'll give everything else a try but not expecting much.

[MisaoFan]

Will watching most of the things this season as usual + sequels of series I've previously seen, I'm especially looking forward watching The Asterisk War and Valkyrie Drive and I'll try watching all of the available harems (including Dance with Devils). I have some mild expectations concerning Concrete Revolutio and Comet Lucifer and I'll probably enjoy The Perfect Insider mainly because Kenji Kawai's music was ear-worthy and the fact that its premise was somewhat interesting.

You can add MAL to chart list? They have something like this from few months. http://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2015/fall


Will Watch
Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai
Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen
Owarimonogatari
Owari no Seraph 2nd Season
Heavy Object
One Punch Man
Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
Noragami Aragoto

I will check:
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru
Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou
Comet Lucifer
Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider

[LAboy 456]

So far, the series I'm sure I'll watch this season are:

- "Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou"
(the story seems pretty intriguing and interesting at the same time (a organization that identify and protect superhuman beings) + there's a good variety of characters... and the animation is really colorful. By the way, the most recent PV gave me a feeling that there's more than meets the eye (if compared with the first one)

- "Haikyuu!!" (2nd season)
(the first one was great, can't wait for the continuation)

- "One Punch Man"
(knowing the popularity of the manga, I'm expecting much from this adaptation)

- "World Trigger: Isekai kara no Toubousha"
(it will be interesting to know what will happen in this spin-off (which will have some of the first series' main characters and new characters especially created for this new series)

I'll keep an eye on "Garo: Guren no Tsuki", as well as "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans"

Done and done.

Although since I do not always check the threads in the future contacting me or another mod directly or via the report button is usually a little quicker. But no worries...at least it was updated.

[MCAL]

Here are my anticipated titles (In no particular order):

Concrete Revolutio (High Expectations)
Heavy Object (Moderate Expectations)
K Return of the King (Moderate to High Expectations)
Gundam Orphans (Actually I don't know what expectations I have for this)
Noragami Aragoto (High Expectations)
One Punch Man (High Expectations)
Rakudai (LN Wildcard)
The Corpse Buried Under Sakurako's Feet (Moderate Expectations)
Subete ga F ni Naru (Moderate to High Expectations)
Digimon Adventures Tri Saikai (Moderate to High Expectations)

[GreyZone]

For now:

High Expectations:

-One Punch Man [caught up with both webcomic and redraw]: The Comedy is just on point, very interesting characters, very unique in multiple aspects, I have high hopes in Mad House to do this right.

-Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry [2 LN volumes read]: Continuous Progress in regards to both story and relationships (more "progress" after 2 LN volumes than even some finished LNs), excellent intentional use of clichés (by never using any cliché more than once and by subverting many as well), blatant "stealing of ideas from other authors" but implementing it in such a way that the result is actually good and creates Rakudai's own "originality" (it's interesting to note that one of the MC's abilities also involves "stealing ideas from others"), MC actually has a spine and can do things for himself, and last but not least: this is no harem - which should become evident around EP4 in the anime (people using 3-EP-rule should consider making an exception by going with 4 EPs instead). That IMS is not doing it - but instead Silver Link - makes me hopeful!



Medium Expectations:

-Gakusen Toshi Asterisk [1 LN volume read]: At the very least the MC was better than average and seems to have a spine. Can't say much more about it since it takes its time, but I can't say if that is a good thing or bad thing yet.

-Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen [watched the first anime, played a bit of the first game]: I enjoyed the first story, so I think this could be good, though I don't know for sure how exactly it relates to the first story yet.

-Heavy Object [only description read]: It's by the author of the Toaru franchise, so I do have some expectations for this.



Low Expectations:

-Anti-Magic Academy - 35th Test Platoon [1 LN volume read]: Didn't manage to impress me, but I'll give the adaption a try anyway.



Interested due to Description:

-Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru [only description read]: Mystery, appearantly there is a couple from the start.

-Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider [only description read]: Mystery.



Under consideration:

-Ore ga Ojou-sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Gets♥Sareta Ken [1st manga chapter read]: A bit MAYBE. I am not sure if this is any good or not. I just hope that no clichés are overused and the MC isn't too much of a doormat... but that's probably wishful thinking



Won't touch until BDs released:

-Shinmai Maou no Testament - Burst: Sequel; if you watch the censored version, then you may as well not watch it in the first place.



Carryover:

-GATE [caught up with the manga adaption]: This one is a given for me (despite annoying gore censorship).




Perhaps something else can catch my interest, but that is all for now.

[Kafriel]

Let's see...

- Onepunch man
- Noragami
- Comet Lucifer
