White AlbumRelease Date (in Japan): (Jan 3, 2009)
Ok I’m intrigue. All I know about this series is it came from a visual novel made by Leaf. I’ve searched some sites and I can’t find information about the story. Aya Hirano will be voicing the girlfriend ( I don’t know whose) and together with another famous seiyuu, Nana Muzuki is also in this show and she will be singing the OP of the series.
Maria-sama ga miteru 4th seasonRelease Date (in Japan): (Jan 3, 2009)
The much anticipated sequel to the Maria-sama series. Honestly I haven’t watched the series yet but I’ll try since I like shojo ai series.

The story centers on a sophomore named Kanako who enrolls in all-girls school because she has a phobia of men and wants to find her destined yuri partner. She meets a captivating freshman named Mariya who fits her criteria — except her seemingly ideal mate happens to be a cross-dressing sadistic boy. (ANN)
Ok this seems interesting and it looks like another yuri/shojo ai series. I think I’ll try this one also since the synopsis intrigues and interests me.
Minami-ke Okaeri
Release Date (in Japan): Jan 4, 2009
This is the third season of the anime adaptation of Coharu Sakuraba's Minami-ke manga series. I haven’t finished the first season yet but this seems like a funny series. I’m not sure if I could watch this because I haven’t even finish the season 1 but maybe if I could finish it then, I’ll marathon this after it finished airing.
Zoku Natsume YuujinchouRelease Date(in Japan) : Jan 5, 2009
The story revolves around Natsume, a boy who has been able to see ghosts since he was little. Unfortunately, humans shun him, and there is not much fondness between him and ghosts either. One day, he inherits a Yūjin-Chō ("Book of Friends") from his grandmother. The book is actually full of contracts that his grandmother made to trap ghosts. As one ghost after another shows up, Natsume tries to release or help them — even while many of them seek vengeance on him. (ANN)
For me, I don’t find the story synopsis that interesting but I’ll try a couple of episode then I’ll decide if it’s worth watching but if not, then I’ll drop it.
Sora wo Kakeru ShojoRelease Date (in Japan): Jan 5, 2009
The veteran anime studio Sunrise has opened a teaser site for a new project called Sora o Kakeru Shōjo [Sora Kake Girl or "The Girl Who Leapt Through Space (the Heavens)"]. The site provides no other information besides a promise that more details will be given in October 10. On that day, the official homepage will open, and there will be coverage in Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype, Tokuma Shoten's Animage, and Gakken Kenkyūsha's Animedia magazines. The project's title is an apparent wordplay on Toki o Kakeru Shōjo or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Yasutaka Tsutsui's classic novel that was adapted into several live-action television series, live-action films, manga, and an acclaimed anime film.

I will surely watch this and the reason? The staff that brought us Mai-Hime and other Sunrise originals will be the one making this. This is one of Sunrise’s anime original work and most of their work are awesome so for me, this is a must see. I’ve watched the trailer and it seems interesting so can’t wait to watch and know what the story is about. The girls are also hot so yeah there's no reason not to watch this.

The story revolves around the members of a private military company (PMC), and the uneasy tension between them and the regular military after a war that caused massive environmental destruction.(Animekon)
I’m not sure about this one also but like I said, I’ll try most of the shows this season but if I find it boring, I’ll just drop it. I’ll only blog interesting episodes.
Hajime no Ippo: New ChallengerRelease Date (in Japan): Jan 6
This is the second season of Hajime no Ippo. I’m not into sports themed anime but I’m not also against it. I think I won’t be able to watch this one mainly because I haven’t finished the first season. I think fans of this series will rejoice for the 2nd season has come at last.

Um, from the looks of it, it looks like another harem series. I’ll try several episodes…
Tower of Druaga - the Sword of UrukRelease Date (in Japan): Jan 8
The second season of the Druaga series. Nope, I won’t watch this because I’m not interested in the fist season.
Kurokami the Animation (Black God)Release Date (in Japan): Jan 8
Keita Ibuki is an independent and struggling
freelance computer programmer who, with two of his friends, is developing and trying to sell a video game program to big-time video game companies in Tokyo while trying to stay afloat and survive financially with money being given to him by his 21-year old childhood friend Akane Sano. He had a chance meeting on one night with a high Mototsumitama named Kuro while eating alone at a ramen stand. He gives her his dinner, a bowl of ramen, and tries to protect her when she is attacked in an ambush by an unknown Mototsumitama. Keita loses his entire left arm during the fight between the Mototsumitamas, but Kuro was able to save his life by exchanging the decapitated arm with her own left arm since she has enhanced healing abilities like all Mototsumitamas. This creates a contract between them, which makes her more powerful than before. However, Kuro warns Keita that they need to be together all the time in order to be at their strongest.
As Kuro stays with Keita and gets acquainted with him while meeting with other Mototsumitamas and their human masters, they are targeted by the strongest Mototsumitama clan of the East, the Shishigami (Lion God) Clan in an attempt to kidnap Akane and bring about the destruction of the coexistence balance, which Mototsumitamas are supposed to protect. Meanwhile, Keita is determined to find out why his mother had died after seeing her double as a young boy and find out who is responsible for trying to destroying the coexistence balance on Earth.

Ohhh….another show produced by Sunrise. Of course I’ll watch this since the story seems interesting.
I'm just a little happy...*sobs* (tears of joy)
