Through various threads that Rogue has posted and others, we're kept aware of shows that will air, or are announced. While I find Rogue's threads helpful, I mainly check Moonphase for announcements and etc. So I figured with the Winter season coming up, I'd make a thread asking what everyone was watching.
If you're the first person to mention a certain show, please provide(if you can) a link to the shows offical site, and a plot summary.
I didn't write these summaries, ended up using AniDB for em.

Yoshikawa Haruo is a common junior high school student. No, exactly speaking, he is very stupid. His only pride is a prize of full attendance, and his hope in future is longevity.
He is living with three cute sisters peacefully. One day, a beautiful girl, Mamiya Ayumi transfers to his class. Somehow, she begins to live in his house as a maid. In fact, Ayumi is a witch, and she is cursed. To break her curse, she needs Hoaro’s magical power, and she plots to awake his magical power. To protect Haro from Ayumi, his three little sisters disturb her. To be surprised, they’re also witches. Haruo’s normal days turn into turmoil. Whether will he break her curse? What happened to Haruo and Ayumi to put a curse on her?

Sounds like standard harem fair, but I like the character designs.
Fate/Stay Night (http://www.staynight.com/)
[ QUOTE ]
Emiya Shirou is a highschool boy who lives in Fuyuki City. His parents died in a fire when he was young, after that he was adopted by an old man who refer himself as a sorcerer, but he died too.
What Shirou doesn`t knew, is that the underground of Fuyuki City is the place of a great war.
When the time is right, sorcerers from near and far gather with their Servants - the summoned spirits of heroes so mighty they exist outside of time - and fight a war for possession of the Holy Grail, a relic said to grant its owner a wish. The true names of the Servants reveal their weaknesses, and so they are usually referred to by a classification of type instead; Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster, and Assassin.
One day, Shirou saw a fight between two servants, Archer and Lancer.
To preserve the secrecy of the war, Lancer mortally wounds him; but a girl who up until now seemed a normal classmate of his, TÅ?saka Rin, saves his life using a magical pendant.
On his way home, Lancer attacked him again. Just before he`s about to die for good, the servant Saber appears before him, greeting him with the words "Are you my master?"

I'm a Type Moon fanboy, so of course I'll be watching this.

Kagemori Mamoru is a dowdy boy whose hair is disheveled and wearing thick glasses. But actually he is the son of a ninja family. They have protected their neighbor, Konnyaku family, secretly for 400 years. Mamori has also protected the daughter, Konnyaku Yuna, since they were in the kindergarten. When Yuna is in trouble, Mamoru puts on ninja suit quickly, and he turns into a competent ninja to help her.

While I don't like the character designs, Aniplex does good work, so I'll keep an eye out.
Rescue Wings (http://www.rescue-w.jp/)
[ QUOTE ]
Second Lieutenant, Uchida Kazuhiro, is a new helicopter pilot. However what he really wanted to be was a fighter pilot to fly at supersonic speed in stratosphere. But he faced a harsh reality. During the pilot training, he was transferred to the rescue helicopter course. Now, he is working for the Komatsu Rescue Squad whose mission is only rescue.
At first he is depressed because he is assigned to the position that he doesn’t wish. But, joining various missions, for example, rescue of airplane accidents, missing in mountains, earthquakes, and so forth, he gradually thinks it a challenging job.

J.C. Staff is funding the show, with help from Bandai Visual. This looks and sounds like it could be similar to Planetes(series wise). It also seems like they did their research and looked at real helicopters.
Tactical Roar (http://www.tactical-roar.com/)
[ QUOTE ]
In the near future, a stagnant giant typhoon so called “Grand Roar� suddenly appeared in the West Pacific Ocean. The typhoon changed the world climates. Also, it changed the world picture considerably. The rise of the sea surface, change of ocean currents, and change of the climates caused a lot of damage to all over the world especially Asia. Later, the disaster was called “Case Omega�, and it was deeply engraved on the history.
50 years have passed since “Grand Roar� appeared, they are recovered by the bloody effort. The importance of the ocean route is realized again, and they enter into the second “Age of Discovery�. However, there is a dark shadow over the development. It is organized terrorists, namely, “pirates�. To cope with pirates, private enterprises organize armed self-defense organization.
This story is about girls who embark on an escort ship of a private enterprise in order to fight against pirates.

While I hope this doesn't turn out to be full of fanservice, I'll watch it. It reminds me of Vandread a little, and the character designs have a "soft" feel to them.
Ergo Proxy (http://www.ergoproxy.com/)
[ QUOTE ]
In a world where humans and robots live together, there exists a domed city named "Romudo". Under full management control, it is a paradise which does not need feelings. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Ril Meyer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Board, is tasked to solve the murder cases. As she digs deeper, she is soon entangled into the mystery of the "Awakening", which will change her life, and the lives living in Romudo...forever.

This is going to be my "show to watch" this season. With a star studded staff list, Manglobe doing the animation, and it being presented in HD, I'm looking forward to it.
