* Gundam Unicorn (7) (really awkward to fit in a schedule, but I've heard so much good about it)
* Chihayafuru S2
** How many of us have seen S1? I support Chihayafuru as a great show, but feel that people watching S2 without having seen S1 would be missing out on a lot. --maxb
* Barakamon (12)
** Seems promising, based on reading a review. May even be our solution to "so what do we do with slot 5 next season". --maxb
* Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (12+12)
** (AIM) - A somewhat simplistic romance show. Warm feelings instead of angst. Which is probably why I liked it.
** I've now seen four episodes and really like it. Alasdair is drastically underselling it with the "somewhat simplistic romance" comment, as IMO that's not really the point of the show - to me it's more like a story about town and palace life that happens to contain romance elements as part of its framing. --maxb
** OK, so maybe they're actually starting the romance arc to some extent around episode 11. I think this show is good, but possibly not quite good enough to watch twice, so I guess I'm just neutral on its schedule potential at this point. --maxb
In an effort to prune down the above list of possibles, here's another section to separate out the ones seeming less likely (i.e. uncontested negative comments here, or IRL discussions not seeming promising):

* GATE (24)
** The pacing of the initial few episodes was a bit slow. However, it really got enjoyable after that, and as we move into the second cour, it's really showing promise. Also, intrigue. Explosions. Dragons. The most hilarious military character ever. I think it's a candidate. --maxb
* Black Lagoon

** This is good but me and Mark have already seen it --Lmm

** Season 2 incoming this Winter
** I still believe this to be a good series and a genuine schedule contender, but given the serious lack of interest whenever I've brought this up IRL, I'm bowing to the seeming inevitability and bumping this down to the 'unlikely' section --maxb
