Mitsudomoe – 01

「丸井家!良い子 悪い子 恐ろしい子!!」 (Marui-ke! Yoi Ko Warui Ko Osoroshii Ko!!)
“The Marui Family! Good Girl, Bad Girl, Dreadful Girl!!”

Bridge may be a new studio, but makes a strong first impression with their adaptation of the elementary school gag manga centering around the sixth grade Marui triplets — Mitsuba (Takagaki Ayahi), Futaba (Akesaka Satomi), Hitoha (Tomatsu Haruka).

Kaichou wa Maid-sama! – 14

「1年7組 叶爽太郎」 (Ichinen Nanakumi Kanou Soutarou)
“Kanou Soutarou of Year 1 Class 7”

I feel sorry for Kanou Soutarou (Toriumi Kousuke) for hating women for some reason, but his hypnosis on Misaki sure led to some really hilarious and dramatic results with Takumi. Misaki may be highly susceptible to being hypnotized, but she’s also a whole lot more fun when she’s drunk because of it.

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes – 01

「昼寝王国の野望」 (Hirune Oukoku no Yabou)
“Aspirations for a Kingdom of Afternoon Naps”

I was almost giddy watching this premiere because it had everything I was looking forward to seeing from the manga. Some of the finer details were changed, but it didn’t lose the essence one bit with our anti-heroic protagonists arguing away and hightailing it in the face of a danger.

Amagami SS – 01

「森島はるか編 第一章 アコガレ」 (Morishima Haruka-hen Dai Isshou – Akogare)
“Morishima Haruka Chapter 1 – Yearning”

While I have my reservations about this turning out be romance drama that will fill the void left by true tears, this first showing of AIC‘s adaptation of Enterbrain’s romance simulation game does show potential.

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi – 01

「おおかみさんと御伽銀行の仲間たち」 (Ookami-san to Otogi Ginkou no Nakama-tachi)
“The Wolf and Her Otogi Bank Companions”

What better way to start the new season than with the show that I was looking forward to the most! I thought the spring season was pretty good, but my blogging sense has been tingling for some new shows to rejuvenate my interest.

Senkou no Night Raid – 00 (Prologue)

「船上のクランクアップ」 (Senjou no Kuranku Appu)
“The Crank Up On Board”

While anime looks pretty great in 720p, it’s even better in 1080p. It’s particularly noticeable when I watch a series on my 40 or 52 inch LCD TVs where all the pixel sizes are much larger, as is the case with this special prologue episode of Senkou no Night Raid. Mmm, Yukina in 1080p…

It’s been a while since a blogging schedule has been created, but I wanted to give an overview of what the tentative plans are for the summer season starting tomorrow. I want to stress that this is tentative schedule and may change after the first week once I’ve had a chance to watch the first episode of every new series I expressed interest in in the Summer 2010 Preview.

… More after the jump.
