ANN released a nice informative list of all Summer 2011 anime. Which shows are you interested in? Here are the shows I plan to watch.
Firstly the second and third seasons:
Natsume Yuujinchou San (3rd season) (fantasy)
Baka to Test to Shouk****u 2 (comedy)
Shows in the Noitamina block:
NO.6 (sci-fi)
Usagi Drop (slice-of-life)
These shows have an interesting summary:
Double-J (comedy)
Sacred Seven (fantasy)
Kamisama Dolls (fantasy, by director of Angel Beats!)
Blood-C (fantasy)
Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi (fantasy)
Nekogami Yaoyorozu (comedy)
Dantalian no Shoka (fantasy)
Kami-sama no Memo-chou (mystery)
So that's currently 12 shows on my plan to watch list. :)

I just finished watching Chaos;HEAd and I really don't understand why that show is rated so poorly. It really had one of the greatest plots and was an amazing show.
Oh and btw I also finished Rosario + Vampire today and I really wish they would come out with a 3rd season for that, kinda made me mad how they slacked off the ending. I mean like come on...Moka and Tsukune didn't admit their love for each other or even kiss for that matter!

I think that the low rating comes from the adaptation decay/restructuring that occurred between the anime and the visual novel, and the fact that some important bits were left out (like the part were Takumi gets sent Nanami's severed hand in a box).
That and how the series drops the ball at the end. I hadn't finished the VN by the time i go to that bit (still haven't actually, save file got damaged) so that whole affair at the end didn't make any sense.
Also, stories which hinge heavily on pseudo-science need that to be explained, and that didnt really occur enough in the anime. That sort of story is really best suited to things that are read rather than watched (or they break up the pace to heavily with longwinded lectures).

The fact that people tend to dislike whiny characters (ref: Shinji of Evangelion) dosent exactly help either. Takumi spends half the show cringing and saying 'someone help me' when he should just man up and help himself :P

^Yeah, but I think Takumi was a distinct character, he did kinda **** me off in the first few episodes but then I got used to him. I think if they did a remake of the show to make into a 24 episode series and explained things better it could possibly be one the greatest shows of all time. Oh and also add a bit of a more flashy ending.

I'm speachless... Steins;Gate ep. 12 was... surprising. I hope the last action gets changed with the Time Leap Machine in the next episode. If Okabe/Hououin would send his memory back in time he could prevent it from happening.

Steins;Gate episode 12...Mayuri :'( Need a crying emote. I will forever hate Moeka. At least Part-time soldier left before SERN came, so hopefully she'll do something. Also, apparently the light novel didn't have the guys wearing masks.

Just watched Steinsgate Episode 12. It was awesome, just perfect.
Okabe knew SERN existed before any of the others, that means something. Honestely, at the end I thought Okabe's inner power would activate and send him back in time.
I believe the father of Christina is Head of SERN and that's why Suzu-chan has suspisions about her.

Steins;Gate 12 was epic, but i cannot make up any consistent theory to what was that Mayuris shade supposed to be at the beginning of the chapter, her memories? or what?, i hope moeka explains, gets killed for doing that to the poor Mayuri.
Chaos;Head was awesome, it just needs some extra chaps to make a deeper explanation of the plot.
