The list may look big, but in truth it's as short as the Summer season, I mean in term of full TV series. Of course this is compensated by a bunch of OVAs/DVDs release. So, looking at the list, some series I'm quite familiar with, and went into my list includes Tower of Druaga, Birdy the Mighty Decode, and Minami ke 3rd season. Automatic, no argument, unless Gonzo really try to screw up with Druaga. Then there's newcomer that caught my attentions like Kurokami, Asu no Yoichi and Akikan. Queen's Blade too, but then I've already quite familiar with this series. Maria Holic looks interesting given the trap crosdressing premise. Not to forgot, Shikabane Hime: Kuro. I'm quite dissappointed with the seiyuu performance in Shikabane Hime Aka, so I do hope the studio can do a better job in finding a proper seiyuus for SH:Kuro.
Now to the OVAs/DVDs releases. Kamen no Maid Guy, Seto no Hanayome, Mahou Sensei Negima, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Chocolate Underground are among the familiar names that already has their own series being animated before, and that goes without saying, in my watchplan. Seto Jin part 1 has already been released, but I haven't been able to watch it, so might as well marathon both OVA. There's also Da Capo OVA, but I'm not familiar with the characters of the first generation, so I might need to watch the TV series first before I can content with the OVA. As for newcomer, introducing, Kiss x Sis! I've read the manga last year (before the HDD crach incident), and I must admit they're quite amusing despite the twincest and near-ecchi content :3
