Remember:
These are MY opinions.
First impressions is important, also for anime.

List of animes from 2012: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2012_anime
I will not mention animes that started airing years ago just becaus they're still airing, those animes belong to the sesong they started in, IMO. Like Fairy Tail, it started at least 2 years ago.

I'll start with the good/bad lists, then under them is opinions.
If I don't mention an anime in the lists, it's becaus I want to watch more episodes before I judge it.

Opinions on the ones I've watched or checked out:

Accel World
I've watched 6 episodes, took a break from it becaus uhm ehm I don't really know why :P
It was good enough to entertain me, but I still got bored from some reason.
It's probably becaus I was more into gaming atm than watching animes.
Good artwork.
I'll edit this once I've completed it, unless it becomes really meh.

AKB0048
Haven't watched, but I've heard good things.
Will check it out later.

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna
I've currently only watched the first ep(27/9).
But I enjoyed it quite a bit, reminded me of Sengoku Basara, which I thought was awesome.
Will probably nice battles.
And lolis XD

Another
I was excited for this one, becaus of the genre, horror is one of my fav genres.
I was disappointed, it's not scary at all, it's just creepy.
I'll finish it at some point, I want to see that dream for myself xD

Acchi Kocchi
So very cute.
I found it great, was hilarious.
Tsumiki <3

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai/Haganai
I liked it a lot, looking forward to the second season.
Kobato <3 "Magic, release" http://i42.tinypic.com/300zp0i.jpg XD
Yozora is a bitch, don't like her.

Btooom!
Not yet aired, but I'm pretty sure I'll check it out, it's sci-fi and psychological.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! + Lite(ONA)
I really like the first ep of the TV anime.
Rikka is so cute. Eyepatch girls <3
I think it will be a pretty funny one.
The ONA is also funny and cute.

Daily Lives of High School Boys
It was hilarious, at the start of it at least. Unfortunatly the comedy became more and more meh, fortunatly the guys roleplayed throughout the anime, which was the best moments.

Dog Days s2
I enjoyed season 1 more.
S2 is still ridiculous with the petting of the princess, though in a good way xD.
But season 2 was just ok-ish imo, thus why I haven't bothered to watch more than I have.
But it's still airing, which is a good sign, so it probably get better.
I take that back, it's just 13 episodes, thought it had gone passed that by now.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
It was nice.
I just took a break from it becaus I was probably more into gaming atm.
Funny moments with Yuuko.
Interesting plot.

Eureka Seven: AO
It was nice at the start, but around ep 8-10 I got bored.
Ao was such a crybaby around that time, and it all felt like fillers(which it wasn't of course).
But I kept thinking, "Get on with it already. Have you forgotten about your girlfriend?" :P

The Familiar of Zero
Got to ep 5 before I got bored.

Girls und Panzer
The first ep was so so.
It bored me a little bit. At the half way mark I thought it was over, so I was surprised to see I was only half way.
BUT it wasn't as boring as Hyouka's first 7 episodes.

Gokicha!! Cockroach Girl!
The first ep was funny.
If you have a fear of cockroahces, this is not for you. The animators has drawn some scenes where the cockroaches looks almost real :P

Hyouka
6/10
The first 7 episodes was so damn boring.
The movie arc was good and interesting. (ep 8-11)
The festival arc was great, really impressive festival. Wish I was there xD (ep 12-uhm 17?)
Ep 18 & 19 was ok, but mostly boring.
Ep 20-22 was also just ok. The Valentine's day ep was cute though.
Chitanda has her funny and cute moments, but she's mostly a meh characther. Same with Oreki.
I like Mayaka and Satoshi much more.
Good animations doesn't mean it's a masterpiece.
The second op and ed was nice, the first ones had to grown on me.
I'm NOT a KyoAni hater, even after this one. I love Clannad, Kanon, Air, K-On and others.

Inu x Boku SS
It seemed like a cute one.
And Aki Toyosaki is in it.

Ixion Saga DT
The first ep was entertaining.

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
I've only watched ep 1, but it left a good impression on me.
Pretty sure it'll become crazy when I continue, the end of ep 1 made it seem like that, Loaf.

Jormungand
A lot of great action :D
Shooting and stuff.
Koko is loco XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzP8hm16pLY
Great soundtrack, op and ed.

Joshiraku
If you're not japanese, live in Japan, you probably won't understand 90% of the jokes.
You might get most of it if you're really into the japanese culture, like really know a lot about it.
If not, you'll most likely only giggle a bit at a few jokes in each ep. (Me)

K-project
I like ep one quite a bit.
The gradient filter they've put over the whle thing works.
The MC seems to be into guys, so I'm hoping for a little shoune-ai XD
(Shoune ai isn't guys kissing and such, that's yaoi. Shoune ai is just guys being friendly with each other, maybe hugging)

Kids on the Slope
Great one, great soundtrack(jazz), great characthers, nice romance, great plot.
One of my favs this year.

Kill Me Baby
I found it pretty hilarious for the most part, but of course there's stuff in it that isn't that funny.
It's not becaus I didn't like it that I haven't completed it yet, I'm just saving the episodes for times when I want some hilarious comedy.

The Knight in the Area
A friend had read the manga, and she said that the sad scene in ep 2 was really sad in the manga, so sad that she cried.
We were both disappointed when we watched that scene in the anime.
They handled the sad stuff so badly.
And after that it just became weird.

Kokoro Connect
Very nice slice of life with a great twist.
Nice characthers, each with their problems, which is one of the point that makes it such a good anime.
And, Aki Toyosaki :D

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead
Season 1 was better.
I got bored.

Kuroko's Basketball
I've rewatched this one 4 times, or was it 3, I lost count :P
So yeah, I thought this one was AWESOME!!!!
It's very exciting to watch those guys play.
Great soundtrack, op and ed.
It's shounen, like if Fairy Tail was a basketball anime, this would be it(without the magic though, but really fast paced and fun).

La storia della Arcana Famiglia
I watched first ep, it was very meh.
And I've hear ONLY bad stuff about it, that it's a waste of time, it only gets worse.

Little Busters!
One of the ones I'm mostly looking forward to in the fall season.
Edit: First ep was good.
I like the characther design a lot. Their school uniform looks awesome, want one xD

Love, Elections & Chocolate
It's about chocolate, so of course I had to check it out.
Unfortunatly it was censored, thus why I haven't watched more than the first ep.
Gonna continue when I can see Michiru Morishita panties :P

Magi
Anime Aladdin. No they're not ripping on Disney. Disney doesn't own the Aladdin story.
First ep was good, funny and such. (I'm so good with words :P)

Medaka Box
Ugh that first ep was so very bad that I just can't get myself to continue.
I couldn't care less if you say it's too early to judge it, it was just way too bad.
First impressions is important, also in anime.

Muv-Luv
The start was pretty good, but after the timeskip it just seemd like they were going to be training for a long time, I kept thinking, "Get on with it".

Mysterious Girlfriend X
Saliva girl, weird.

Natsuiro Kiseki
Nice slice of life, with a very funny twist.
And, Aki Toysaki.
I laughed a lot.

Natsuyuki Rendezvous
That ***** was too annoying(thos who have watched it, should understand what those * is).

Psycho-Pass
Looking forward to.

Recorder and Randsell
Hilarious short one. Don't skip just becaus the episodes is 5 mins, it's too funny to skip.
And it's not a lolicon fanservice anime.

Rinne no Lagrange
Nice mecha, cute MCs.
Great soundtrack, great op for season 1(Try Unite, been playing that one a lot in iTunes)
The other op and eds is nice too, but Try Unite is the best.
Nice battles.

Robotics;Notes
The anime I'm mostly looking forward to in the fall season, becaus it's an alt. setting to Steins Gate, which is one of my favs.

Saki: Achiga-hen
A lot fun to watch.
Now if only the rest of the episodes could be released, that would be great.

Sankarea
I didn't get bored of it, I was just more into gaming.
The plot was nice. Rea is cute.
Nice artwork.

Sengoku Collection
Like Medaka Box, the first ep was horrible.
It surprises me that it's still airing.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear
I liked it, gaming just came in the way.

Shirokuma Cafe/Polar Bear's Cafe
I like it a lot, I just want to save the episodes for time when I want comedy, and something relaxing to watch.
I watch it sometimes when I eat.
Don't skip it just becaus it's animals, that doesn't mean it's bad.

Shinsekai yori
First ep was interesting, second ep was a little bit less interesting.
Hope it picks up soon.
Atm it does really seem like just a slice of life in a world of psychics.

Sukitte Ii na yo.
First ep was cute.
It's similar to Kimi ni Todoke.
Both Tachibana and Sawako is friendless, but their reasons for being that is diffrent.
Yamato and Kazehaya is similar. Both have that big smile that could brighten up anyone's day.
But Yamato looks like a characther that would fit perfectly in a yaoi, sigh that it's not yaoi :P

Space Brothers
Great.
One of my favs this year, and any year.
Mutta and Hibito is such great brothers, and Serika-chan so adorable.

Sword Art Online/SAO
It's overrated.
BUT I enjoy it a lot, it's very gripping. Every ep keeps me on edge, since I really don't want any of the characthers to die.
It's so sad when they do.
If Klein dies, I'll probably cry hehe. Unfortunatly he probably will :/
If SAO was real, I'd play it, as long as I wouldn't die irl of course :P It would be the first mmo I'd play.
The world is very beautiful.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes s2
Meh, it became stupid.

Tari Tari
Nice slife of life.
Nice singing, soundtrack, op and ed.
Nice artwork, like Chihayafuru.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Ep 1 and 2 has been crazy and great.


Tsuritama
Such a nice one.
Haru is such a fun characther :D
Enoshima dance <3
Don't skip just becaus it's about fishing!

Upotte!!
I like it a lot.
Lolis as guns, made some nice gun battles.
Galil was my fav characther, she's so cute.

Waiting in the Summer/Ano Natsu de Matteru
AnoHana

Yuru Yuri s2
Love them.

Zetman
Neh

Did I forget some?
