Genshinken is IMO the best thing that I have watched this season by far. Think of a more realistic Otaku no Video without the live-action.

Everything else would probably fit in the mediocre category, though.

I recomend:

Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex-Series based on the films, but in it's own little universe. A cybernetic secret section of the government solves technology, and cyborg related crimes led by Major Matoko Kusanagi.

Gungrave-Action; Brandon Heat, was the Millenion organization's best sweeper...before he died anyway. Now he seeks revenge on the the people responsible, including his former best friend and leader of the organization, comming back to life.

Last Exile-Sci-Fi adventure; Clause and Lavie earned a living as air mail curriers, but when they accept a mission from a dying pilot they're thrust into an all out war between the nations of humanity and their genitacally enhanced Guild overseers, all fighting for control of the mysterious device know as Exile.

Gankutsuou looks kind of interesting. If you're familiar with "The Count of Monte Cristo," you may like this. Although, I think this series will be a hit or miss, since the art and animation can be considered a real bother by some. I like it, though.

It's not out in North America yet, not until January 11, anyway. But if you want to see some opinions, you can look at this thread.

I'm enjoying the newly English-translated episodes of InuYasha.

And it's only around half the total episodes right now (the last aired episode on CN was 70-something, right?), so we're on the rush towards the end of the road.

And I second Stand Alone Complex. If I could describe it, I think "Cyberpunk CSI" would be applicable -- a nice emphasis on investigation that makes both Stand Alone and Complex episodes stand out from a lot of other cyberpunk stories like it.
