Ummm, I think you're kinda late. Like, a year late. First episode of Touhou anime was released by Maikaze at the previous fuyukomi, I don't think there's a set date for the second one. But seeing how they are participating this year too, there's always hope. No announcement yet, though.
Lol, oh. I thought he meant there was a new one that released recently. Man, and I got my hopes up and everything. :(

Yeah, the torrent I got (of Touhou ep1) was created last month and for some reason I thought the episode was first released more recently than a year ago.  I guess I assumed that a DVD would contain more than one episode and since only one episode was currently available it had not been released yet.  Thanks erious, its nice to know that at least a second episode is possible in the near future.

Sorry if I got slightly off topic.

You would think with so few shows that they may at least put up some good quality shows. That doesn't seem to be the case though. well i guess Nodame Cantabile will have to do.

They delayed Nodame Cantabile till January 15th...  :-\

Probably to coincide someway with the 2 live action movie specials that are also being released in theaters. I think the first ones comes out in December. No clue on the release date for the second one.

I wasn't too impressed with the fall season: a lot of sequels to shows I wasn't interested in, weird comedy-bordering-on-ecchi stuff, and a lot of moe. This upcoming season doesn't look that great, but Durarara looks like it could be good as I'm watching Baccano! right now and loving it.

Soooooo, I just saw first two eps of Denpa teki na Kanojo, and it seems So-Ra-No-Wo-To is going to be made by the same screenwriter/director combo - I knew that show had promise. Add to that opening by Kalafina, and we might have a winner.
(well it probably won't beat more Hidamari Sketch, but it can try!)

I'll probably watch none. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood will still be airing for a while and my two long-run series, Naruto Shippuuden and Bleach will still keep me entertained. Other than that, I'll probably use the time I don't use to watch some of the many series I have lying on my external. Many of the stuff I've downloaded since becoming an active member here...

Darker than Black 1+2. I'd like to start watching Hitman Reborn too.
On second thought, I might watch Durarara!! I've seen the promo and it seems promising with some nice animation. Also, people have been recommending Baccano!! which is by the same people as Durarara!!

All I really want is another Kaiji, Kemeko Deluxe, and Maid Guy season. How long do shows typically go in between seasons?

Did you know? Lupin's omnipresent. He can be in many places at once.

It'll probably be announced next summer

Shows I'll try to follow:

Dance in the Vampire Bund
Dullalala!!
Ookamikakushi
Nodame Cantabile 3
Katanagatari

If past seasons are any indication, CR will probably get Sora no Woto

Doesn't mean anything. Just a play on the word Dullahan, which is some old Irish folklore creature/monster that the anime is supposedly about.

Okay, I (finally, like 2 months later) looked over most of those, and I'll just give my two cents (all items are ratio'd according to Want/DONOTWANT[to watch] percentage ratios)...

These are the ones that seem interesting (90/10, maybe higher) to me:

1. Durarara!! - I liked loved Baccano!, and I sure as hell am not going to overlook this.

2. Katanagatari - definitely like the art style, that girl in the picture with him looks quite cute, and from what I've read of the description on anidb, this looks like a very interesting show. Since they're going to put a romance plot in it, too, I'm all in. I seriously doubt it can be something like Seirei No Moribito (it's hard to match that level of quality), but I hope it does something good.. in its own way. Plus, according to anidb, it looks like it'll be aired once a month, for 50 minutes. That tells me that they'll have a lot of time to put some serious quality into this show (I hope).

3. Nodame - I liked the first season a lot. Second season is kind of boring me slightly, but the main reason I haven't finished it is because the series didn't have an ending at the time. If this is gonna be a good finale, I'll finish up the second season and get this thing done, too.

Things that I'm 70/30 (Hmmm.....) on:

1. Ookami Kakushi - Higurashi was okay, sure. While I did defend Umineko, I'm definitely going to say that it probably wasn't as good as Higurashi (not that I thought Higurashi was THAT great anyway). Therefore, I'll probably watch this out of interest, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that it might be a flop. Besides, to be honest the Higurashi formula is kind of getting... eh... boring. Still, it'll probably be at least somewhat interesting. Who knows, maybe they'll turn it into something better than Higurashi.

Things that I'm 50/50 (Ehh...) on:

1. SoRaNoWoTo - Lol @ wartime music. Can't really say anything about this one until I know exactly what the hell they're gonna do. I can say that there is one big reason I'm not going to enjoy this as much as I could, should I watch it: change in art styles. Originally, this was going to look kinda like like it does in the anidb picture for the art style and character designs... but they decided to fucking K-Onify it. I liked K-On's art style... in K-On. I absolutely fucking loathe the changes they made to this title. That alone makes me drop this rating. It seriously pissed me off.

2. Dance in the Vampire Bund - Umm... To be honest, I read about 13 or so chapters of the manga... and surprisingly this is more generic than I thought it would be. It's a bit unique, but I felt like I've actually seen this general type of storyline before. Therefore, I'm probably not gonna get my hopes up too high for this one; not that it'll be bad, but I don't think it'll be that great.

Half the reason I think this may be a popular title is because there's a nearly naked loli... and sadly, I'm not joking when I say that.

The Meh Stuff (30/70 and below):

1. Qwaser - Let's just say that I think that this may end up being a generic shounen and leave it at that. The ratio of watch/DONOTWANT for this one may actually be a good bit lower than 30/70.

2. Omamori Himari - (0.1/99.9) I just actually wanted to say that I've already read a lot of the manga for this one. Definitely generic harem shit going on here. Don't waste time on an anime version.

Everything else is almost on a 0/100 level.

'Nodame Cantabile Finale' is the one I'm most looking forward too.
'Baka to Test to Shoukanju' looks interesting. Or the premise anyways. Almost reminds me of ZnT.
'Chuu Bra!!' is an ecchi comedy. Haven't watched a pure ecchi comedy since Rosario. I may check the first ep or two out.
'Dance in the Vampire Bund'... Violent loli vampire show? Sign me up.
'Sora No Oto' kinda getting K-On vibe from it, gonna check it out as well.
