I'll answer what I can...well, even what I can't as well ;)

1. I've watched the series up through #17 and it's great. I loved the manga and this is a great adaptation of it. It's rare when I can enjoy both the manga and the anime equally well.
2. It's interesting. Sort of reminiscent of Lain, but with Ghibli-like character designs. It's one where you spend a few episodes curious about the world, then interest in the characters take over.
3. Only watched #1 so far.
4. Only at #135 in the anime and not reading ahead in the manga.
5. I wasn't impressed by the first episode and didn't watch any more. The "Uninstall" theme is great, though.
6. Just enough good jokes inserted to keep me watching it. Not great, but it's only a half-length show, so not a huge time investment.
7. Only watched through #3.
8-9,17,18. I barely made it through the first episode, then dropped it.
10. One of my favorite series of this season so far. The first few episodes are great. Then the next lose a lil bit, but are still good.
11,16. Not I.
12. I've watched through #4 and been slightly disappointed. I would've liked them to develop characters like Kirche and Tabitha instead of throwing more and more new characters into the mix. If you liked the first season, you should like this one as it's more of the same.
13. Started out strong, but I thought the resolution to the Butterfly was a bit weak and the werewolf story was also a dud.
14. Pretty much in keeping with the rest of the series. Nothing outstanding, but not a clunker either.
15. Since I didn't see it, I'm guessing that there were the end credits, possibly a short scene and then a black screen. ;)

I can't really answer any of your questions but I had to comment on this one. :)

I don't read the manga and I refuse to start it. I've found in my circle of friends that those who are reading the manga for Bleach have actually stopped watching it because they're so annoyed by it. Since I'm oblivious to what is filler and what isn't, I'm still enjoying it. Although, I have to admit I still need to watch 138 & 139. X|

I don't think I saw more answers about Nana...

It's subbed though the first season on crunchyroll and is almost exactly same storyline as the manga. There are 47 episodes. I happen to have read the first 6 volumes switched to the anime and the took up the manga again after the anime ended. I watched most of the beginning again especially during concerts episodes to hear the music, which I also really enjoy. I'm totally hooked on this series. It's such a soap opera. I love the way all the characters relationships between the Blast and Trapnest intertwine.

As for Zegapain, I happened to see the artwork and watched it marathon-style. I didn't want to stop. I enjoyed the series, but would have to watch it again get into alot of details...watched it way too fast. My way to describe it is a cross between the Matrix and a video game.

My daughter started me watching Zombie Loan. She likes Shiba...anyway, I wasn't sure about for the first few episodes but I'm going to continue it. It's starting to pick up. The backstory of Shito is interesting and adding to the storyline.

I love La Corda D'oro, but I tend to really like competition type series that focus on the relatonships between the competitors and the struggles each are going though. I'm not sure if that is a very good description for this series or not.

Not sure if there are any others mentioned so I will stop.

I hate to say it, but for the most part I "enjoyed" the pyscho parts more than the heartwarming parts. Or maybe that's not so surprising. :D

That's kind of like Nagasarete Airantou then. :(

I think I'll try to stick to the manga segments whenever possible. Seems like a safer bet. :)

Zegapain was one of my favorite shows from that season. It had a pretty laid back pacing, but the story made me sympathize for the character's plight.

Too bad there isn't much stuff to get from it besides Rilezu. :(

I haven't read the manga either, so no clue one what's filler or not, but I *really* liked 138/139 and am looking forward to the coming episodes. :love:
