15 series to look forward to!

Tis a remarkably small new season and without much showing as hugely promising, but until things get going you never know.

Katanagatari is by the author of Bakemonogatari so might be good. Apparently it's a 12episode series based on 12 volumes of light novels... which means either it won't cover very much and not have any ending (or worse, and anime original ending), or it will skip over lots of it to reach a conclusion.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, the manga for this is reasonably interesting (it's a light novel originally) as the premise is rather silly but amusing. Might end up nice!

Ladies vs Butlers has a great title... I guess it's some kind of fan service harem thing. If the chibi stuff is used well it migh be nice! Chibi rocks (Koihime Musou chibi <3)

Omamori Himari is a series I've been dreading and anticipating a long time, since it was announced back in march or something. Based on a manga by Matra Milan, who amongst other things did the fun hentai manga Angelical Pendulum, it's a fairly typical harem fanservice anime. But it has great art and very nice characters and overall is probably my favourite fanservicey manga of the moment. As such I am sure to be disappointed with the anime adaptation

The anime's art promo looks not nearly as nice as the manga (the chins are way too pointy), though I imagine moving it'll be better than the stills. One good thing is they got Ami Koshimizu (Kallen/Karen in Code Geass, Horo in Wolf and Spice) to voice Himari, who speaks in an old fashioned/archaic way. Since she did a fantastic job as Horo I have high hopes for her in this too!
