my watch-list for next season is pretty sparse at the moment - right now i've just got Hibike! Euphonium that i'm watching for sure, and a friend of mine recommended Ore Monogatari as well
APART FROM THOSE, nothing that's being hyped looks too interesting to me. gintama and nisekoi S2 are things i'd want to watch from the beginning
any recommendations for next season?

Planning on watching these:
Danna ga Nani wo Itteriru ka Wakaranai Ken 2 Sure-Me (aka I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying Second Season): Short 3 minute clips about an otaku and his wife, nice and heartwarming, season 1 was in the fall season and only about 30 minutes total, quite a nice surprise.
Digimon Adventure Tri: Come on.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka (aka Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?): Ecchi/harem/whatever light novel adaptation quota that I have to fulfill.
F/SN: UBW part 2: HYPE PART 2
Nisekoi S2: Because I already watched S1 and I need more fuel for best girl arguments.
Shokugeki no Souma: I've heard good things about this from friends, also food.
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku (aka Oregairu 2): Need more 8man in our lives, always fun to see the character interactions. Also waiting for the OP artist to sing another great OP.
Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo: Ecchi/harem/more stuffs yee.
Edit: Forgot about new Highschool DxD, I'll watch if I finish S2 in time.

watching/trying:
UBW: duh
dungeon thing: looks ok, jc staff makes really good things on ocassion

DxD: don't judge me
Houkago no Pleiades: gainax? magical girls? ok

oregairu s2:
Cross ange: see earlier posts, don't be like me and like things ironically because soon enough you'll find yourself unironically liking things that are objectively shit. AOTS if you don't count sequels (Jojo)
kancolle: shipgirls? more like shitgirls
saekano: I like the art and music but the otaku protagonist thing is super tired and the plot really hasn't gone anywhere. Still pretty solid I guess
Kimi Uso: pretty good, but probably not as spectacular as a lot of people seem to think. it's overall value will depend largely on how well they can avoid a disappointing ending
im@s cg: cute and fun even if most of the characters are less interesting than the cast of the original series
yoru no yatterman: I was hesitant of the idea of a reboot of something I know nothing about, but I loved Gatchaman Crowds so I gave this a go. pretty good, seems fairly underrated
yurikuma: bear girls? more likeshitgirls Bear Grylls. Stupid and fun, if you liked Utena and Penguindrum you'll like this and if you didn't you're probably lame

I liked one outs and kaiji, I avoided akagi cause I didn't think I'd be able to understand whatever game its based on.
You'd think you would have to understand the game they were playing in order to understand this anime, but this isn't the case. I to this day don't understand the rules to mahjong and I still found this fantastic. This was because it wasn't so much as a game of mahjong as it was psychological warfare between the badass/mysterious Akagi Shigeru and his opponents.
PSA: the sub situation for oregairu looks bleak (the best we can hope for might be crunchyroll releasing a week late), but please please don't watch Commie. I tried their memeshit subs for ep 1 and that was the worst subbing I've seen since the era of yellow-text subs.
At least Hachiman is still Hachiman.

hibike! euphonium and ore monogatari both starting off pretty strong, imo
looking forward to see how euphonium goes since i'm a big band nerd, and monogatari puts an interesting spin on shoujo anime
