Started up a few new shows, but my most anticipated was Symphogear GX and the first episode didn't disappoint at all. Watched it two and a half times already.

Definitely a fun and awesome series to watch, seeing as this is the third season. It's like an insane yet perfect combination of Magical Girl, Kamen Rider and Super Robot elements. The seasons even get better plot and animation-wise with each season.

One of my leads from work lent me his Soul Eater Not DVD set. Now i will be able to cheek it out see how it is.

They're not. Animatsu was formed from ex-Manga employees so they have close ties.

And downloading new Symphogear now - so hype!

Oh, Gargantia. You came so close. So, so, so close to being my favorite anime of all time. But then you had to go and pull this bullshit. So, the Hidizous are actually genetically engineered humans, right? And Letto only discovers this after have eradicated every one of them living on earth. Pretty powerful scene, very Gaim-like. Then I got to wondering why they were called Whale-Squid, despite havering no characteristics of a whale whatsoever. Only reason I could think of was that it was a bad attempt at shoehorning an anti-whaling message into the show. And then the show just wouldn't. Stop. Reminding you that they were innocent humans and everyone was horrified that they were dead, even though only Letto knew they were human. It was at that point that I realized that we were delving into the "animals are people too, and humans are horrible monsters for murdering them!" realm of moral lecturing, one I highly despise. Looking at the credits, it appears that Urobuchi was responsible for the last couple of episodes. Now I'm wondering if it'll end with Letto become a Hidizous to save humanity...

TL;DR version: my favorite anime has degraded into a vehicle for my least favorite "moral" of all time, and I'm pissed.

EDIT: So, now I've completed the show in it's entirety. Overall thoughts? Surprisingly, the problems I mentioned above were dropped as suddenly as they were brought up, and the show ended just as wonderfully as it started. Gargantia was an excellent example of how to build up a world in a way that doesn't come off as dull or exposition-heavy. Other than that brief arc I mentioned earlier, it was wonderful from start to finish. I think I have a new favorite anime.

I have watched Episode 1's of Rokka No Yuusha, Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Seneki, Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace, Gangsta and Dragon Ball Super. I highly recommend them all.

So I didn't realize this was the third season of this series when I started watching it. Is it okay to continue it because I'm loving it so far, and watch the other series later?

Honestly you'd get much more out of watching them in order.

The first two seasons will definitely flesh stuff out and give the characters more depth, since the opening scene of GX literally takes place not long after the end of S2. It's worth the investment. The series as a whole is just fun and adrenaline, plus seeing the jumps in quality from season to season's fairly interesting.
