Finally got time around to track down what's new in July 2010 new anime season. Since it's a small season, the list is relatively short as well. I've searched far and wide, only managed to come up with 15 new TV series that starts to air in July 2010. But, quality over quantity, though the list is short, there are some really good looking animes that I think has the potential to become the anime of the year.

http://www.asoiku.com/ A guy meets cat-eared alien, everybody else is trying to catch her, except him trying to protect her.
Forecast: I think this concept is getting a little old. I'd give it 50/50, only because it looks cute.
