Last night I saw a bit of "Medaka Box" and "Sankarea" which is interesting. I loved "Lupin the Third Fujiko Mine Special", a nice throwback with the old style that meshes so well. I'm going to watch 2nd season of "Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? OF THE DEAD" tonight and check out the Naruto spinoff, "Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishuun Full Power", "Zetman".

A few series jump out I'm excited about:
– Gon (they're actually animating it ^o^b )
– Nazo no Kanojo X
– Fate x Zero S2
– Shining Hearts (I love the artwork for this Sega RPG)
– Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
