This is not strictly new, but I would like to point out that Funimation has licensed Initial D, is re-dubbing it, and is KEEPING THE FUCKING EUROBEAT FUCK YEAH!

I may be looking at a rose-colored past, but so far just about everything I've been watching lately that I've really, really enjoyed (except Durarara) has been at least 10 years old. I've wondered if we're going to see another series that just blows us away or makes us look at our worlds a little differently, or any of those profound things anytime soon. In my own experience it just seems to be lacking a little.

All the great animators are either dead (Tezuka), semi or fully retired (Leiji Matsumoto), making movies only (Miyazaki, Kon), not true to their roots (Gainax), or have low output (Watanabe, Studio 4C, Production IG).
If they want anime to be revived, they need to get the big boys to do more TV shows, and not to outsource the labor to Korea or China, so new great animators can be born under their tutelage. Force a studio Ghibli TV series to be ongoing forever. Just imagine what that would be like. If they put it on TV everywhere in the world, it could probably make more money than the whole rest of the industry. Such obvious ideas, but no results. Same as the video game industry.
Ironman will probably be cool. It probably has the largest budget, because of the Marvel (and by extension, Disney) dollars backing it. It would be really cool if the dub had Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. I've never read the Bakuman manga, but it has a pretty good pedigree, hopefully it will be more consistent than Death Note. With PaSwG, Gainax may be trying to get back into experimental animation like Studio 4C. It might actually be okay, at least it's not what I expected when I knew only the title.
Bakuman Hooray! Ironman? Okay. TOGAINU NO CHI????!! That's based on a yaoi pr0n game that actually had plot. I never played it, or Lamento (by the same studio) because it was too explicit for my tastes. This might be good because it will focus on the story and cut out most of the smut.
You know, I suspect that Asian porn in general is more likely to have plot than any other porn in the world. Unless they do some very weird stuff in Africa. But even then 99% is still plotless of course.
Actually, I think most porn in the world has a plot, just most of it has a very very small plot that can be completely explained in one sentence or less. Usually the form of the sentence will be X fucks Y. Example: Dad fucks babysitter.
