Matsumoto Leiji's first series in five years, at six episodes long.
In a desert world in which people travel in metal sand ships, a plucky teenager named Sam saves a white-clad damsel-in-distress named Maya from the military ships pursuing her. He brings her to the sand ship where he lives. Here, we meet Sam's tomboyish childhood friend Mimay, the ship's incredibly badass Captain (no exaggeration- when soldiers shoot at her, she just stares them down and doesn't give a shit, as seen in the screencap above), and an assortment of other crew members. The military ships catch up to them and demand Maya. Rather than surrender Maya, the Captain and her crew decide to submerge their ship in the sand and wait until the military ships leave. Just before it becomes impossible for the ship to remain submerged without its members succumbing to heat stroke, the military ships withdraw. Going by the preview for the third episode, there's going to be conflict among the crew over whether harboring Maya is more trouble than it's worth. I couldn't care less, just as I didn't care when Maya fainted and almost died in episode 2, because she has no personality.
The people working on this show have done an excellent job recreating the old school style- visually and aurally. That and the Captain are the two things that I really like about this show. But alas, the Captain isn't quite awesome enough to make me sit through the Maya-centric plot and parade of uninteresting characters, so I'll probably drop this show.
Streaming on Crunchyroll and ViKi.

Studio DEEN's latest otome game adaptation.

A sequel to the original Saint Seiya anime, starring Kouga, a 13 year-old boy who becomes the Bronze Saint of the Pegasus constellation. Saori, the woman who raised Kouga, is an incarnation of Athena. Mars (why not Aries?) kidnaps Saori, and Kouga must save her with help from the other Saints.
I'm not interested (I haven't tried Saint Seiya, and the plot sounds pretty "meh" anyway), but I'm happy for the Saint Seiya fans who get more of a franchise they like.

Nope.
An adaptation of a manga by Katsura Matsakazu (Video Girl Ai, DNA², I''s), about Jin, a homeless boy who can transform into the superhero "ZET," and Kouga, the heir of an industrial magnate who becomes a superhero too.

After Reina won the Queen's Blade, she handed the title of queen over to her older sister Claudette and decided to keep wandering around. Claudette seemed like a good ruler at first, but within four years she became a worse tyrant than Aldra and abolished the Queen's Blade so that no one could take her place. A knight-princess named Annelotte decides to rebel, and a bunch of other new characters join her.
It's Queen's Blade. Cool-sounding plot, soft porn-y execution. And the new characters...it's not like the old Queen's Blade was a paragon of story-telling, but underneath its service, most of its cast was pretty decent. They actually look good next to the new (and unnecessary, considering that this takes place four years after the original; it's not like it's a generation later) batch. Especially this one.
Lots of cringe-making PVs here.

Lupin III is an iconic series from the 70's about a gentleman thief named Lupin who advertises what he plans to steal before he steals it. This new series will focus on Fujiko, Lupin's love interest, and take place before the main Lupin III timeline.
Admittedly, I haven't seen or read anything Lupin III. I know that its tone and characters influenced Cowboy Bebop (Lupin -> Spike, Fujiko -> Faye), and the promo looks quite cool.

A Weekly Shounen Jump adaptation.
Medaka wins her school's student council presidency with 98% of the vote. She creates a "Medaka Box," in which students can submit requests to the student council for help with anything. (Mostly problems involving supernatural powers and battles.)
The PVs look "meh" and the premise sounds an awful lot like Sket Dance, but shounen series starring female leads are rare and it's a Gainax show, so I'll give it a shot. (I expect to only watch one episode, though.)

15 year-old Furuya is obsessed with zombies. His obsession grows after his cat dies in an accident. He runs into a runaway girl named Sanka Rea. Sanka tries to commit suicide by drinking the resurrection potion Furuya created. She dies after falling off a cliff and revives as a zombie. (Of course, she doesn't decompose as a proper zombie should because rotting flesh isn't sexy.) She kisses Furuya, fulfilling his dream of being kissed by a zombie, then bites him, making him half-zombie. They start living together. Rea quells her desire to eat human flesh by eating hydrangeas.
Wtf.

Kickoff follows Shou, whose soccer team that was disbanded because it didn't have enough players. After Shou meets a pro soccer player named Erika, he strives to create a team again.
I like that Shou's inspirational role model is a woman, since that role would normally be filled by a man in this type of series. But I'm not really into sports series. I don't expect to follow Kickoff, but I'll try its first episode.

Yay, more Saki! Unfortunately, we won't see the original Saki characters, aside from (going by one of the promo videos) a younger Nodoka. (And I will never like Saki's brand of service.) Fortunately, this series will revitalize interest in the franchise enough to, hopefully one day, get a continuation of the original story animated. At least we can expect some over-the-top mahjong competition and yuri.

An adaptation of a Monthly Sunday Gene-X (same magazine that runs Black Lagoon) series about an arms dealer named Koko and her crew of bodyguards. One of them is a boy named Jonah who only joins Koko's group because he wants to find the arms dealer who killed his family. (Koko's group becomes a sort of surrogate family for him.) One of Koko's bodyguards, Valmet (the knife-wielding woman above), is in love with Koko.
I tried the manga, but couldn't get into the story because the art was so scratchy. The anime won't have that negative, and the trailer looks pretty awesome, so I'm looking forward to it it.

A sequel to Eureka Seven, taking place ten years after its predecessor. Ao lives on Okinawa, where he saves money so he can the island to search for his mother who disappeared ten years ago. Scab Coral turn up on the island, and monsters called the "Secret" start attacking. Ao boards a mech called the Nirvash, which hasn't been activated in (what a coincidence!) ten years, and starts fighting the Secret alongside the mercenaries that the government hired.
I watched Eureka Seven six or so years ago- long enough ago that I thought "Whuh?" when I read some of the world-building terms in this series's description (like Scab Coral and Nirvash) and had to look them up. Eureka Seven never blew my mind, but I enjoyed it enough to finish it. I'll give this series a try.

A Noitamina show.
In the summer of 1966, straight-laced honor student Kaoru moves in with his relatives in Kyushu. He befriends a laid-back boy named Sentarou and learns to enjoy life.
I like stories that take pace in different eras. But when I first read this show's description, I was a little apprehensive that it wouldn't try to appeal to people who don't have golden, nostalgia-tinged memories of its setting, like Showa Monogatari. But it's being helmed by Cowboy Bebop director Watanabe Shinichiro, with music by a certain goddess of soundtrack composition (jazz will play a prominent role in this series), so I'm looking forward to it. The OP's even being sung by YUKI, who sang the opening theme for Honey & Clover. It feels like Noitamina's trying to return to its roots this season, after an unusually (but not exclusively) otaku-pandering line-up this past year. Don't get me wrong. I really liked Ano Hana and I mostly liked Black Rock Shooter even though it ended weakly- but I want Noitamina to keep focusing on shows that aren't meant to appeal to otaku. Every other late night time slot already does that.

A series based on members from AKB48- and, going by the voice cast, its sister groups SKE48 and NMB48- taking place in what appears to be a space colony.

Sakamichi no Apollon had me at "Jazz". As well as how nice the character designs look, pretty non-moeblob characters with realistic proportions and skirts that don't risk flashing panties while casually walking... Also, apart from Baccano! I can't think of any other anime in which Jazz is a prominent feature.
I'm also looking forward to Saki Achiga-hen and wallowing in the slice-of-life escapism of tsuritama and Natsu-iro Kiseki (the latter of which I hope turns out to be more than just a marketing device).
@Steven- Jazz is also prominent in Cowboy Bebop. But yeah, I agree with your reasons for looking forward to Sakamichi no Apollon. It's nice to see something different.
the latter of which I hope turns out to be more than just a marketing device
I hope so too.
@Katherine~ Ah, I had forgotten about Cowboy Bebop, been too long since I saw it and viewing conditions were less than ideal at the time (distracting side conversations from friends in the room who were not really interested in watching anime).
Going over the list again it seems that there are a couple shows that could be enjoyed under a certain set of circumstances:
Upotte! - While drunk watching with a group of gun nuts (I know some, it would be hilarious).
Shirokuma Cafe - Get a friendly group of stoners to watch it and ask them to talk about it after.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san - Watch with H.P. Lovecraft enthusiasts ... while drunk.
... yeah, I agree about the producers and sponsors sniffing glue.
Is that what you think Sengoku Sengoku Otome Collection will be like? That is Yuri?
@Steven- Ah, I know how distracting that can be. (Try showing someone else one of your favorite shows while her apartment-mates have a long, loud conversation about Harry Potter right behind you.)
LOL at your list.
Also,
Sankarea- with a group of hardcore zombie fans (the kind who are particular about what makes "realistic" zombie-world logic) while drunk.
Sengoku Collection- with a wasted group of Japanese history buffs.
@Anon- I have no idea if it will be yuri. I compared them because they're both adaptations of games that depict male historical figures from the Sengoku era as moe girls- and its quality will probably be about the same as Sengoku Otome's.
Definitely going to watch F/Zero and the Eureka Seven sequel. Uchuu Kyoudai as well, I plan on getting a degree in Aerospace Engineering and the plot seems interesting enough to me. I mean, it seems like a for real space anime. As far as I know, that doesn't happen all too often. (Besides some series I forget the name of..Planetes?) Anything Lupin is also a go, I got a friend I sit down with every Friday to watch anime, and Lupin is always on our list. Kickoff is another, I'm really into soccer and I like how the rolemodel is a girl, not a guy. Jormungand and Sakamichi no Apollon as well.
In other words, I'm loaded.
@Alyde- In other words, I'm loaded.
Ha, me too. :-)
There's also a series called Twin Spica, about a girl who strives to become an astronaut. I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard really good things about it.
Are all of this yuri?
@Anon- Nope. The only shows of yuri interest listed in this post are Queen's Blade: Rebellion (which I didn't finish and thought was bad even though, as with previous Queen's Blade seasons, it has a cool basic premise), Saki Achiga-hen (so boring...I still need to finish it; and I *liked* Saki), Jormungand (good fun, with a knife fighter who's in love with her female arms dealer boss among the leads), and Fate/Zero (dark & involving urban fantasy, with one of my favorite subtext ships *shameless Saber x Irisviel fangirl*). Some people watched Natsuiro Kiseki (and every other show starring an all-female cast, I'm sure) to ship the characters, but I didn't bother.
