I'm thinking

Definitely 99.9 S2.

and probably

Final Cut

mostly for the cast.

Unnatural - well damn, I've been waiting for this show ever since it was announced, so yep, definitely going to watch.

99.9 - if I can force myself to finish the first season before s2 starts airing...

+the new taiga drama, as usual. Tbh I don't have particularly high hopes for Segodon, but you never know.

I don't have much in my "Plan to watch" list for the coming season, compared to what I usually have.

anone: the synopsis is so-so, but he screenwriter is Sakamoto Yuji (Quartet, Woman, Soredemo ikiteyuku) and I have to give it a try.

BG: I'm not a fan of Kimura Takuya, but when he's in a drama, the cast is always good (this time, Saito Takumi, Nanao, Eguchi Yosuke).

Final Cut: for both the story and the cast (Fujiki Naohito, Sasaki Kuranosuke, Mizuno Miki and Sugimoto Tetta).

Segodon: just because I love taiga dramas.

Tonari no kazoku wa aoku mieru: the cast is so-so, but the story seems interesting.

Unnatural: for both the story and the cast (Kitamura Yukiya, Kubota Masataka and Matsushige Yutaka).

I may add Repeat to my list, but I'm not sure yet.

Funouhan and Todome no Kisu are a must see to me.
I can give a chance to:

1. Repeat
2. Haru Ga Kita (Kai of EXO will be one of the leads and i love collaborations between countries)
3. Bye, Bye Blackbird
4. Ashita no Kimi ga Motto Suki

99.9 S02, definitely. enjoyed the first season, so I've been looking forward to this for some time.
unnatural - not very hyped for this one, TBH, but I really do like the screenwriter (nogi akiko), so I'll check it out.
anone - good writer + actors I like
final cut - kame (:

I'm sure there are other interesting upcoming jdramas, but I know these four are way more than I can fit in to my schedule anyway (assuming they're picked up for subbing)

As for me I'll go with :

99.9 season 2
Anone
Final Cut
Haru ga kita
the Kitazawas (just to take a look, not sure I'm really interested)
Unnatural
Repeat (Hongo!!!)
Oh my Jump!
Kansayaku Nozaki Shuhei
Kazoku no Tabiji
Bye, Bye, Blackbird
Innocent Days

If at least half of them are subbed, that would be great.

NB : found some titles on Asian Wiki

In my opinion this year's winter line-up is kind of underwhelming. The only one I definitely want to watch is BG because of Kimura Takuya.
The synopsis for Unnatural doesn't interest me, but it's from the same scriptwriter as NigeHaji so I'll give it a try. Hopefully it will be good!
Todome no Kiss has an awesome cast but the plot sounds so cringey. I might check it out if it gets good reviews.
