[Preview] Winter (January) 2010 New Anime Season Preview

As the currently anime season slowly wrapping up, the new anime season is about to kick off. For this new anime season, I got hold of the niconico preview again, so there're more visual than just a picture and a link. This time, instead of re-sorting the animes in alphabetical order, I went ahead wrote my preview using the video's order. It's easier for everybody that way :)



The January preview video actually ends at 4:58, the rest are previews for new animes beyond Winter 2010 season.

(video time 0:57)

The third installment of the series of stories that based on romantic reverse harem game.

Forecast: I've seen the first series, never really got into the second one. Fan girls probably would like this since there are many pretty boys. I'll it 50/50.

(video time 1:13)

(video time 1:42)

Story occurs in a eastern orthodox school in Japan where people with magical powers are in war (?!)

Forecast: Wikipedia says it's similar in concept with Sailor Moon, but with much more violence, brutality, and perversion. It sounds like an interesting mix. We'll just have to see how they implement it.

増田こうすけ劇場 ギャグマンガ日和＋
http://www.kids-station.com/minisite/gag/
(video time 1:57)

(Video time 3:42)

From the creator of Higurashi, 07th-Expansion, comes another horror mystery thriller.
