Lo and Behold! Before we even noticed, the new season creeped up on us! While we were busy doing our retrospectives, our full series reviews and gearing up for the new season, the new season pretty much tackled us head on instead. Since we’re a bit late, our current season preview isn’t going to be as detailed as it generally is.
We’re guessing everyone’s already found out what series are airing. So this is more of a quick run-down of some notable series, ones that we will indeed be blogging!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome a new member to our team! We’re very honored to have Hanon as one of our comrades who’ll be blogging one of the best shows of the season! And With that, we give you our list!

Why we blog it: Hot chicks with shredded clothes and big boobs? Yes please! It’s definitely got the Claymore vibe going on, so I’m praying that it’s as good as the trailer leads on.

Why You Should Watch: Having started reading the manga for this series a while ago, I can definitely attest to the awesome quality of this shounen series. There are fights, but this is also one of the most hilarious and funny shounen titles to come out in a while. Hopefully Studio Periot does the series justice with their adaption, and we have another long running series alongside Bleach and Fairy Tail.

Hype Meter: 87%
Synopsis: Kazuya Kujo has been studying abroad at the prestigious Saint Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. Most Kazuya ignores but the story of the Queen Berry, a mysterious ghost ship, really gets to him. Of course, his brainy friend Victorique is much more intrigued by true stories, and she uses her unrivaled logic to solve mysteries even the town’s famous detective can’t. Ironically, it is Victorique’s inquisitive nature that leads the duo to board a ship that matches the Queen Berry’s description to a tee, a ship that might just hold the key to solving a sinister mystery… (Taken from Tokyo Pop)
Why we blog it: I had seen the art for this series WAY back and I loved it. When I saw that it was getting an anime adaptation I was thrilled. And from what I’ve heard, this should be interesting. Nothing like a good mystery to spice a season up!
