A few years ago we would have called that average. I'll end up checking out a few eps of ten of them, but will probably be disappointed by most of them.
I'm curious about the international collaborations. At this point I'm way cool with homoerotic masked American freaks in my Japanese cartoons, anything that will make these shows seem fresh and creative again.
On the topic of masked freaks, Arakawa sure looks intriguing, too bad Shaft can't invent new directing gimmicks fast enough to keep up with all the shows they're powerpointing.
And on the topic of homoeroticism, Uragiri sure looks homoerotic, which, statistically speaking, improves its chances of being good (no homo (Hideyoshi doesn't count)).

Just how much Sora no Woto improves after the first episode? People said they got some Aria vibes from it, but all I preceived were moé soliders with scary faces. The most impressive part of it, actually, was their not screwing up the french parts, usually it takes way much more damage than english.
