I'm watching the following with a friend:
Parasyte
Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis
Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster (2 episodes in)

all which are alright so far. Shingeki no Bahamut has some pretty good animation, though, and Parasyte is probably the most interesting one out of the three.
I really like Bahamut. It feels more like a western movie than anime and that's pretty neat. Mappa's other production this season, Garo, is the same sort of setting but feels like some kind of play. Highly recommended.

Best anime currently airing is Shirobako. It's an anime about working in the anime industry which was stealth marketed as a cute girls show. Very well informed and in depth with a lot of heart and crushes ill founded ideas about the industry (Most notably four episodes in and they haven't mentioned the word 'budget' once, It's just not important in the making of a hand-drawn animation).

As for Gunbuster stick with it. The ending is worth every second of frustration and boredom if you're not big on it. It's the perfect ending. Even people who hate the show adore it.

:
Joe showed me screencap of the anime. I wasn't impressed. Aparrently Mugi's voice sounds about right, though, which is something.
Not really fair to judge the quality of the visuals on a single screencap. Maybe have a look at these?

Also yes it's good. Very very good.



The opening is kind of uh hilariously bad though. I like it!

Also that thing I just linked, Sakugabooru? It's a really really good resource if you have any interest in animation at all (And not just Japanese).
