Sket Dance premieres 6 September 2012, Thursday, 10pm WIB (UTC+7), on Animax Asia and airs weekdays thereafter. It replaces Baka & Test - Summon the Beasts Season 2.

Sket Dance follows the adventures of Kaimei High School's campus support club – Sket Dan. With Bossun as the leader and founder, Himeko as the club's muscle and Switch as the club's secretary, the trio band together to help solve any & all problems submitted by the staff or student body. No matter what your problems may be, they will do their best to help you. But as many requests pour in, will the three be able to solve them all?
–Animax' synopsis

So Sket Dan is essentially a do-gooding club that accepts any commission — be it monkey custody or all-you-can-eat contests, even criminal investigation. What does TV Tropes have to say about the series full of Shout Outs to any popular manga you can imagine with hilarious lampshades over each and every of them?

Over all, it's random, fourth wall-breaking, random, funny, random and absolutely adorable.

Bleach anime Season 3 premieres 22 August 2012, Wednesday, 630PM WIB, on Animax Asia and airs weekdays thereafter. It replaces Beelzebub (Part 2).

Animax' Bleach Season 3 corresponds to the sixth anime season, the Arrancar: The Arrival arc. Arrancar, taken from the Spanish for ‘To Tear Off’ are mask-less Hollows with combat skills and powers that mirror those of Soul Reapers, making them essentially Shinigami-Hollow Hybrids. Especially powerful Arrancars were assigned ten numbers by [Shinigami captain turned traitor] Sōsuke Aizen and came to be known as the Espada. [From Bleach Wiki]

What does the impending Shinigami-Arrancar war bode for our hero Ichigo who has reopened his Substitute Soul Reaper business back in Karakura-chou? For one, the invasion of his hometown supplies Ichigo the motivation to conquer his inner hollow, with the help of the Visored, former Shinigami who have acquired Hollow powers.

Shinigami-like Hollows, Hollow-like Shinigami. That takes care of the lowdown. Imma fangirl Ulquiorra-sama~.

Akihisa Yoshii, also known as the idiot or “Baka”, together with his friends in class F, are determined to rule over the higher-level classes by declaring a Summoned Being War.

The plot thickens when the boys of Class F find themselves head on with the girls at school. Can they secure victory this time?

When Ryo's not working on a case, he's working on getting the ladies, and Kaori must keep him in check with her trusty hammer.
Animax synopsis

In other words, Saeba Ryo is a (combination hitman/private eye) who uses his Improbable Aiming Skills and all-round Badassery to deal with crime in Tokyo. He also happens to be a loony Chivalrous Pervert. (Thanks, TV Tropes.)

You want to hire Ryo? Then leave a message for “XYZ” at the Shinjuku station. You're Pretty Woman Incarnate? Then skip the SOP and just sashay over to Ryo.

Hunter X Hunter premieres this Tuesday, 24 April 2012, at 630pm WIB (UTC+07) on Animax Asia and airs weekdays (nights) thereafter. It replaces Fairy Tail.

In the fantastic universe of Hunter X Hunter, Hunters are exceptionally skilled individuals who specialize in seeking out fearsome, exotic creatures, hidden treasures, secret enclaves, unexplored lands, and other incredible individuals. To be a Hunter, one requires a license, and fewer than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification examination that is a series of brutal tests of will, skills, wits, survival instincts and teamwork.

Hunter X Hunter follows the trials and tribulations of Gon, the 12-year-old son of Ging Freecss who disappeared 12 years ago and is today a legendary Hunter. Despite his aunt's protests, Gon is determined to follow in Ging's footsteps to try to understand why his father chose to become a Hunter over raising him, and hopes that he will one day find his father and be recognized as a great Hunter in his own right.

Although a country boy, Gon has a sparkle in his eyes and high aspirations. Beyond his young years, Gon is composed and courageous even in the face of tough tests and dangerous adversaries. Naturally talented, he possesses superhuman senses, uncanny learning potential, great social skills and immense determination, yet can be reckless and irrational at times. Gon's journey starts on his long, arduous trip to the Hunter qualification examination, along which he befriends Killua, Kurapika and Leorio, fellow candidates who share his great desire to become Hunters.

[From Animax' press release]

So you already know that this anime reboots the 1999 TV series to more closely adapt the well-loved manga series of the same title (Animax) that is very noticeable for having many long hiatus breaks during its run, one of which continued for a grand total of 1 year and 20 days! (TV Tropes) ANN, meanwhile, tells me on hiatus again.
