Summer 2011!!

Time flies and it's already summer. I've been so busy lately that I have not finished any of the Spring 2011 anime even though some has already ended. (v.v) Anyway, Summer 2011 anime listing looks pretty exciting and there are also sequels to some of the anime I like.

Below is the list of anime series which interests me:

1. Natsume Yuujinchou San

I enjoyed the first and second seasons thoroughly. I'm so happy that they finally made the third season! I can't wait to see more Natsume, Nyanko-sensei, Natori and others!

Watching? Of course!

Release date: 4th Jul 2011


2. Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou

The first season's pacing was a little slow but I think this will not be the case for the new season. The major story arc which the new season of the anime will be focusing on is the Kyoto arc. It's a pretty long arc so there's no need for the animators to throw in fillers like what they did in the first season. The Kyoto arc is all about the youkai and onmyouji so I hope that the animators will stick to that and not shift the focus to the annoying humans (referring to the Rikuo's classmates).

Watching? Definitely Yes!

Release date: 3rd Jul 2011


3. No. 6

The story takes place in the ideal city "NO.6" in 2013. Shion was judged as having "highest-ranked intelligence" when he was two years old and was allowed to live in the luxurious area "Cronos".

On his twelfth birthday, he met a beautiful boy called "Nezumi," who had escaped from a reformatory. Shion protected him, but the Public Security Bureau deprived Shion of all his privileges and expelled him from Cronos to "Lost Town." Four years after the banishment, a mysterious accident leads Shion to the secret of the city NO.6.

I love the art and the character designs. It looks like something I will like.

Watching? Yes!

Release date: 7th Jul 2011


4. Usagi Drop

Going home for his grandfather's funeral, thirty-year-old bachelor Daikichi is floored to discover that the old man had an illegitimate child with a younger lover! The rest of his family is equally shocked and embarrassed by this surprise development, and not one of them wants anything to do with the silent little girl, Rin. In a fit of angry spontaneity, Daikichi decides to take her in himself! But will living with this overgrown teenager of man help Rin come out of her shell? And hang on, won't this turn of events spell doom for Daikichi's love life?!

It looks like a nice slice-of-life series. I shall give it a try.

Watching? Yes!

Release date: 8th Jul 2011


5. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!

The first season was pretty enjoyable and funny. I also enjoyed the OVA on the school festival. Hopefully the second season will continue to entertain me.

Watching? Yup!

Release date: 8th Jul 2011


6. Dantalian no Shoka

Hugh Anthony Disward inherits an old mansion and a personal library from his grandfather. In the basement of the mansion, he meets a mysterious girl Dalian. She is a Dantalian and a gateway to "Dantalian's bookshelf", which stores the prohibited books of the demons. "Gensho (Illusory Books)", the prohibited books, endanger the balance of the world but people are fascinated by the taboo. Huey and Dalian solve the cases involving Gensho with their ability to access the Dantalian's bookshelf.

The summary sounds interesting and I shall give this a try.

Watching? Yes!

Release date: 15th Jul 2011


7. Sacred Seven

A "new school battle action" project by Sunrise. The tagline is "People's memories change the world!"

I like Sunrise productions so I hope that this will be good.

Watching? Likely.

Release date: 2nd Jul 2011
