Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin – 01

「マヤの予言」 (Maya no Yogen)
“MAYA’s Prophesy”

Anime no Chikara’s third project aired today and proved to be the awesome supernatural comedy it was made out to be. Best of all, it’s already been picked up as a simulcast on Crunchyroll, meaning that subs will be readily available unlike Senkou no Night Raid.

SEKIREI ~Pure Engagement~ – 01

「静ナル予兆」 (Shizu Naru Yochou)
“A Quiet Omen”

Today marks the start of the normal broadcast of the SEKIREI sequel, which had an early broadcast premiere almost three weeks ago like I mentioned before. As I was busy working on the Summer 2010 Preview at the time, I purposely held off for the cleaner screen captures that you see here.

Seitokai Yakuindomo – 01

「桜の木の下で/毎回続くのこの感じ!?/とりあえず脱いでみようか」
(Sakura no Ki no Shita de / Maikai Tsuzuku no Kono Kanji!? / Toriaezu Noide Miyou ka)
“Under the Sakura Tree / Is It Like This Every Time!? / To Start, Let’s Try Undressing”

Well I’m impressed. GoHands may be going with a similar style as Princess Lover in this adaptation of a 4-koma gag manga, but it’s still a noticeable step up from their work there.

Shukufuku no Campanella – 01

「流星群の夜」 (Ryuuseigun no Yoru)
“Night of the Meteor Shower”

I wasn’t planning to post about this series at all, but AIC continues to produce amazing-looking series even when they’re taking on five concurrently this season, so I wanted to share some thoughts on their adaptation of Windmill‘s adult visual novel game.

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).

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.

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.
