Perhaps you just have anime fatigue. Just take a season out and do other things. Then come back once you feel you've rested long enough. It's happened to me a few times.

But any way, let's see, Fall line up potential:

Should be visually good:
Magi - Masunari Koji directing at A1 studios w/ Toshifumi Akai as Chief AD. Might be interesting.
Zetsuen no Tempest - It's Bones, bound to have well animated scenes.
Chiinibyou - KyoAni, bound to be well animated.
Shin Sekai Yori - Masashi Ishihama's directorial debut. I get the feeling this is going to be Denno Coil levels of good in terms of animation.
K - From GoHands, I guess they are done with Mardock Scramble. This looks to have lots of cool animation in the PVs, shame it's overflowing with homoshit.

Has potential:
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - Brains Base.
Code;Breaker - Might be good, being done at Kinema Citrus. I recall the PVs having some good FX animation.
Kyousogiga 2 - Hope they keep up the pace of the 1st ep.

Has potential, but having low expectations:
Psycho-Pass - Production IG
Robotic Notes - Production IG

SHAFT Tier:
Hidamari Sketch Honeycomb

I wanted this to be good, but probably won't tier:
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

I'm hyped for Ishihama's show. Kyoani is Kyoani, GoHands is GoHands (right?), but with A-1 you never know what to expect and having Ishihama as a director and the PVs looking like they do, I'm expecting to have visual orgasms. Somehow it has a very Dennou Coil feeling, like you said. And the director could (and probably will) make use of some contacts and have really good standout scenes.

I really don't want this show to be disappointing animation-wise, I need it not to be, since the story also seems promising and the setting begs for some eye candy.

Any news on the airing date for it?

>>82
That's some very high expectations of Shin Sekai, I doubt A-1 would give it the budget and time that Dennou Coil had.

The PVs look exciting. Perhaps saying it to be like Denno Coil was a little too much, but it does look good.

Loving the PV, I have a higher expectation of this show now.

>>106
Do you think it could rival Chuunibyou's animation? Personally I think this and K seem to be the strongest contenders to what KyoAni has in store.

>>107
It doesn't look THAT strong. But I can imagine we'll get some outstanding cuts every so often.

>>107
I have a really high expectations for K, so yes, I'm expecting it to rival KyoAni's.

As for SSY, it definitely has the potential to, but I don't think the producers will give them the time and budget needed though. I'm expecting more of the art direction and digital composition rather than the animation itself honestly.

>>108
I don't expect any show to match Chuuni in terms of animation consistency, but it would be interesting to see cuts that may be able to best KyoAni's.

K looks like shit; I hate it's style of animation and I hate it's abuse of bloom-filters.

SSY has more appealing CD and art direction.

Apparently there was some livestream on Nico for Shin Sekai Yori, some look at the character designs here.

>>109
Ishihama's been chewed out badly by shitty schedules in the past. Speed Grapher and Welcome the the NHK to name a few.

>>111
Post processing is starting to take off the ground in anime nowadays, expect to see it a lot more often. Since we're in the early stages of it, don't expect it to mature for another good 5 years.

Digital anime itself has only started becoming good recently, some of those shows made 2000-2006 had some really shitty digital composition work on them. It's also why Gothichmade looks so rubbish, it's still using techniques from that era.

>>114
Hasn't there been a fair amount of shows that use post processing since the mid-2000s?

>>113

SSY seems to have really good scheduling, tho. PVs show stuff that shouldn't happen in the actual show until episode 4-5. And they have the same staff for episodes 1-2.

More K teasers:

K has a really shitty color palette(judging from the PV)

>>118
Green and blue really is a strange combination, not to mention it's heavily used even for daytime scenes.

GoHands are still fresh from Mardock Scramble, so it is understandable that they will use similar composition to that. I hope as they start doing more shows they'll abandon the permafilter.
