Considering that these are 49 anime, it will take a while for me to give a whole preview on all of them! A till J will be in this post, the other remaining will be in the next post. Just use Ctrl+F to find the anime you’re looking for!
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka

Starting date: 10/2
Type: Series, +-12 episodes
Genre: Romance, game adaptation
Opinion: Ofcourse, looking good. But what else to expect from a (H)-game adaptation? With seiyus as Hirano Aya(The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Lucky Star), Kugimiya Rie (Shakugan no Shana, Full Metal Alchemist) and Inoue Marina (Le Portrait de Petit Cosette, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS), we can expect an good voiced anime. The story looks a bit too simple for me, but that’s with most romance anime! I’m just hoping that it won’t turn out to be a harem anime.

Biohazard: Degeneration

Starting date: 10/18
Type: Movie.
Genre: Adventure, Action, Game, Sci-Fi, Horror, 3D
Opinion: I’m not expecting much of this and that’s why I won’t watch it. I don’t like 3D movies and I’m not a fan of Resident Evil at all. Acceptable for RE fans only I guess. Please leave a comment if you don’t agree.

Casshern Sins
Starting date: 10/1
Type: Series, 24 episodes.
Genre: Sci-Fi, Mecha, Action
Opinion: It’s a remake from the original. I haven’t watched the original, but they stick to the ‘74 animaton, which is a good thing for old school fans. You can expect a lot of action as far as I know and a ”Save the world” scenario from a guy in a white suit with a robot dog and a girl next to him. Go watch Code Geass, Suzaku is hotter.
Preview rating: +-
Chaos;Head
Starting date: 10/9
Type: Series, 12 episodes.
Genre: Supernatural, Sci-Fi, Game, Mystery, Horror
Opinion: Not sure what to say of this, but it reminds me of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. There’ll be a dark atmosphere, that’s a guarantee.
Preview rating: +
Clannad After Story

Starting date: 10/2
Type: Series, 13 episodes.
Genre: Slice of life, romance, drama, game-adaptation
Opinion: Clannad is similiar to high quality animation, a lot of cute girls and a beautiful story. At least, that’s what the fans think. I’m not a fan of Clannad, but I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who has seen Clannad, as this is a sequel.
Preview rating: +
ef - A tale of melodies
Starting date: 10/6
Type: Series, 13 episodes
Genre: Romance, mystery, drama, game adaptation.
Opinion: I really loved ef - A tale of memories and so I’m looking forward to this, the sequel! If you liked Clannad, you’ll enjoy ef - A tale of melodies as well, but watch ef - a tale of memories first. Good animation and a touching story. I’m just hoping that we’ll learn more about that mysterious girl from the previous season.

Ga-rei: Zero
Starting date: 10/5
Type: Series, unknown episodes.
Genre: Action, supernatural.
Opinion: The picture looks good, but the story just sounds so… full of action only? The names of the producers don’t really make this anime interesting, namely AIC Spirits and asread. Two pretty not well-known names. Let’s hope that it’s something nice.
Preview rating: +-
Genius Party Beyond
[
Starting date: 10/11
Type: Movie
Genre: Sci-Fi, psychological, horror, dementia.
Opinion: It's from Studio 4 and these are the films that weren't in Genius Party, so... more short films!
Preview rating: +-
Goku Sayonara Setzubou Sensei
Starting date: 10/17
Type: OVA, 2 episodes.
Genre: Slice of life, school, parody, comedy, drama.
Opinion: It'll be sold for 3740 yen, which you can pronounce as Sa-Yo-Na-Ra. You'll only like it if you can stand this desperate Nozomu Itoshiki! ''Zetsuboushita!''
Preview rating: +-
Hakushaku to Yosei
Starting date: 9/28
Type: Series, unknown episodes.
Genre: Adventure, fantasy, romance
Opinion: I'm really looking forward to Count and Fairy! Historical setting, shoujo and a talking cat and ofcourse a good looking man. Okay, not only that, but the seiyus are impressive as well. We have both Mizuki Nana(Itazura na Kiss, Rosario to Vampire, Shugo Chara!, Tales of Symphonia) ánd Mamoru Miyano(Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club) as two of the characters. Enjoy!
Preview rating: +
Hokuto no Ken Raoh Gaiden Ten no Haoh
Starting date: 10/3
Type: Movie.
Genre: Shounen, sci-fi, martial arts, drama, action.
Opinion: Martial arts and shounen aren't my cup of tea, but I think it should be a bit different than the previous Hokuto no Ken, as this one focuses more on Raoh, Kenshiro's enemy. Lots of action in this one.
Preview rating: +-
Hyakko
Starting date: 10/1
Type: Series, 13 episodes.
Genre: School, slice of life, comedy.
Opinion: It's from Nippon Animation and NA means to me that it's looking more suitable for the western countries than Japan. It does have good seiyus, namely Hirano Aya and Orikasa Fumiko(Bleach), but that's it for me.
Preview rating: +-
Inazuma Eleven
Starting date: 10/5
Type: Series, unknown episodes.
Genre: Sports, shounen, game-adaptation.
Opinion: It was announced in Corocoro magazine and if Corocoro magazine doesn't ring a bell, here is it. Pokémon. Yes, expect another franchise game.
Preview rating: -
Jigoku Shoujo: Mitsuganae
Starting date: 10/4
Type: Series, unknown episodes.
Genre: Supernatural, psychological, horror, mystery, drama
Opinion: For those who can't get enough of the Hell Girl named Enma Ai.
Preview rating: +
Junjo Romantica 2

Starting date: 10/11
Type: Series, 12 episodes.
Genre: Comedy, drama, romance, shounen-ai
Opinion: I loved the first season and well, this is ofcourse the continuation! Will Misaki be able to overwin Usagi-san weird things like actually reading all those... books? Not to mention the other two couples... How will it go? Go fangirls, go! [And fanboys as well]
Preview rating: +
Okay, I’ll leave at at this, as it actually took me more than two hours to write all this and checking the information and trailers, etcetera. Coming up: The rest of K till Z!
