All I've watched so far...
I only watch 0-2 episodes of anime a day, it's not one of my primary interests such as videogames, politics, history, or books in general. I mean, I like watching some, but not all the time, and sometimes I get bored and want to do something that involves actual involvement, like play a game, so I don't always finish things I start. (This is the same reason why I don't watch movies very often... just not interesting enough for me to want to watch them all the time.)
Anyway.
Fairy Tail - I continue to watch this each week. Good show, I like it. I'm reading the manga as well.
B Gata H Kei - Started episode 1. Abandoned because of the sheer degree of stupid. Not sure if I'll try again, maybe.
Angel Beats - Watched episode 1. It's okay, but I haven't gotten to the next episode yet.
Katanagatari - Anime runs once a month, but episodes are 45 minutes. It's set in medieval or Edo Japan or some time like that, and involves a quest to collect swords. I've watched all four episodes so far... it's pretty good, I like it. It's d efinitely on the depressing side overall, though -- they try to have humor parts, but the overall tone is definitely downcast, and I imagine that it will get worse (episode 4 certainly hinted at some of that). I like it enough to keep watching anyway, I think.
Senkou no Night Raid - watched most of the first episode. It was okay but not great, but as I've said already, the setting is a serious, serious hurdle... the Japanese were not heroes in China in the 1930s! It was pretty much exactly the opposite.
Instead of watching recent stuff, I'm mostly watching Nanoha StrikerS at the moment... watched ep. 8 yesterday, and 7 the day before that. It is indeed so far not quite as good as the fantastic first season or the even better second season (A's), but it's good enough for me to definitely want to watch it, and it's better than anything from the current season, I think.
Oh, and I won't watch Rainbow or KissXSis. Ugh, no way, for the same reasons you stated.
