New Anime
I was very excited of the new anime, and I decided to start off with some that just released-
Sekirei Pure Engagement (2010)-
This anime seemed to me as quite exciting after the intro. Instead of the ecchi style, the story mixes with supernatural action that makes the plot interesting, about pairing up with others. This was surely great, and all of us will wonder who that group of people are in the beginning. Many of the ecchiness were shown as well, and seemed to have some comedy in it? I didn't laugh though. The last part about the "love story", confuses me quite alot. Maybe this will become another confusing anime like the failure of Mayoi Neko Overunn. I hope this anime will get better in the future.
6.5/10
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi (2010)-
I really enjoyed some of the previous anime that were directed in this studio, and that certain style of illustration we see a lot recently. So far into the anime, there is the main protagonist, and another green haired boy who is afraid of getting stared at. It looks like as if all these characters that we have seen in here all have unique abilities. But unfortunately the funny bits were too common. This may be classified as a romantic comedy, but the true romance had not come to hand yet, and the comedy is again, too general. How is it general? We have seen similar things happening with all those old anime and manga we watch, so it is not funny AND is quite frustrating watching it again. Maybe if this was your first anime, you may laugh a little, but if you actually have experience in these things, most likely not. Unless your a Hentai-San. Instead of the use of ecchi-wise romance elements, this anime includes the next gag element, the (conversation with narrator). Not exactly talking, but eye gesturing still includes to this element. If you have noticed, I am pretty sure that narrator sounded like the teleportation girl of the RAILGUN in to aru series hehe xD. In all the anime I have seen, I only remember two that used this same element, one in Hayate no Gotoku, and another in KERORO GUNSO. These two anime are amazing to watch because of the extreme use of gags that has to do with the present day, and to do with the popular things that are happening today. There was only one or maybe two episodes in these two anime that have the (conversation with narrator) element, which is a wiser choice. Starting the first episode with the protagonist doing eye contact to the narrator is just very awkward. AND, the narrator is talking back with expression... I hope the series will not get worse but better, so I will be looking forward to it.

Amagami SS (2010)-
Ever since I watched School Days, I never dared to watch any more eroge or "relationship-wised" games adapted as anime. When I watched School Days, I had that steady kimochi and I was eager to know what will happen in the next episode, which makes it a very strong story. But after you watch all those happy moments.. BOOM! Just like those O Henry books, the most twisted ending assaulted your peaceful mind. This one was not just twisted, but very disturbing and violent. Well since Amagami SS is an adaption of the game, I am quite scared of watching, with my heart is filled with the awareness of the twisted part. Good thing when I looked into the homepage, I didn't see anything fishy, and I actually played the game before.. and it wasn't THAT bad.. So far inside the anime, quite a lot had happened, having one crush and immediately confessing.. Which MAY be a warning for all of us to see how many times this poor dude is going to get dumped on, and eventually giving us the worst ending in the game. Lets just hope that wouldn't happen to us otaku.
7/10
Mitsudomoe (2010)-
Wow this is one amazing anime to watch, about three children with specific but opposite personalities with each other. I'm a big fan of loli, but this anime didn't use it as one of its elements, but I wouldn't mind watching this. This is just the first episode and I am already laughing quite alot by the end of the first half, which makes this anime a must watch for the season. (I don't laugh frequently, and the comedy is something I have never seen before ) Many of you are not interested to these shows little kids watch at home, but I can sense this one is used to letting those children into the world of loli, ecchi or some pervertness, other than pokemon or some kid show like that. This has a similarity with the Yamaru Youchien (forgot how to spell that), it has a pint of ecchi-comedy element inside, which introduces new things to these children watching. Mitsudomoe has a little more ecchi element compared to the Youchien, so viewers who watch ecchi comedy frequently should take a try at this. If you are kind of person who likes more serious ecchiness, this is not a very good choice, because you're still watching little kids talking and playing with each other. After all, I find this one a must watch for this season if you are a fan of loli.
8.5/10
Seitokai Yakuindono (2010)
Haha. I already have a feeling that this will probably be the best anime this season, well compared to the other ones, I find this one probably the best anime so far. Right after watching, I am 100% sure that the anime this season will definitely be better than all those failures the past season. The professional use of shonen art, chibi and some 3D effects, makes me feel like I am watching Hayate no Gotoku once again. This is certainly a very straightforward story, without any confusing moments so far. The idea this author used is just amazing, how the indirect ecchi, loli, real comedy, and all those famous elements we see before are put inside. The great thing is that the person used it so well and clear that we can all feel what is going on, and we can all laugh at the comedy parts, and enjoy the chibi. I am definitely excited for the next remaining episodes, with more storyline, and maybe something twisted towards the end. Seitokai Yakuindono is a great mix of all those anime we watch before, and I can name a ton more elements that are part of this anime so far through the first episode. Moreover, this anime had just released, and having that good reputation really makes me excited to the future episodes. I am looking forward to Seitokai Yakuindono, and I hope it will only get better, not worse.

Kuroshitsuji 2 (2010)-
This was moreover a sequel to the first series, but something interesting about this was the two new protagonists, a white haired and his butler. Most people do not like newer characters, but want to see the old characters in action, so the old protagonists continue in this story, making this anime storyline a good choice. In the first episode, I was deeply leered to watching, and we can all see the more psychology and life-like elements during this, which may be a good opening to all you watchers out there. After all, if the series go along well, we might find ourselves watching a psychology and twisting anime, which will then be a change to the following series. I think the first Kuroshitsuji is quite good, but doesn't need to go far to have a sequel that has new characters and a change in the storyline. So far the episode is quite nice, so I believe this will become another great new anime this season.
8/10
Occult Academy (2010)-
Now this is something interesting this season, having that one genre none of us can name. There is a pint of horror, some creepiness, a little action, but not that violent, and not psychological in any way. This is nothing more than a horror-action based anime that 13 year olds can watch, nothing too horror and creepy, but very supernatural. This world that the protagonist is in, something about occult or spiritual creatures, is a very common kind of topic, so this anime's storyline may not be too stable. Overall, this is not so bad, and it will become a great anime to watch. Hopefully in the future of Occult Academy, more genres will get mixed into this anime.
7.2/10
Strike Witches 2 (2010)-
Many people had been able to enjoy loli with all that pantsu inside the anime. I unfortunately have no idea how to enjoy this kind of stuff, especially when it is not as tempting... Although this was only the first episode, I wasn't so eager to keep watching because of the little amount of ecchiness, but more of the action. To those who can understand this kind of anime, this will definitely be a good choice to them. I hope this anime will get better along the way, and will be better than the prequel.
6.9/10
Asobi ni Ikuyo (2010)-
I just wonder if this anime had copied someone else... the hooking battle scene in the first few minutes, following an alien who came from nowhere, and the next morning she is sleeping with the "future-harem" protagonist!?~ We have seen too many same plots so far, especially to the former hit anime To Love Ru. It is very hard to tell what kind of genre this anime has, other than maybe some action, harem and ecchi. There is not really a romantic plot of any sort YET, and I hope it will come out soon. Watching this feels like To Love Ru, but yet not THAT great.
6/10
Black Rock Shooter (2010)-
Heh heh..all that promotion for a single OVA? Simply amazing. Well, the whole hour of this anime is basically revolving on friendship and the relations between one another. The hatred towards friendship, and of course the hardships throughout it. Unfortunately it felt exactly like watching a kids show in my opinion.. this and that of friendship and love. Black Rock Shooter feels like it is for kiddos to watch, and is very childish in the storyline. One thing I find annoying too is the random fighting every couple minutes. I just couldn't stand it at all... such confusing and frustration while watching Black Rock Shooter. Yet what a shame.. I actually was looking forward to it.
