(Kimi no tame no Doggu Faito)
"A Dog Fight For You"
Well, this sure was an intense episode. From the way it began, with Mamiya Yumi's (Gibu Yuko) stylish introduction, you would think that this would be a mere comedy episode dedicated to her. Instead, we took a completely different turn and picked up from where the story left off with Yuno's trauma.

(Nitamono Doushi no Disutansu)
"The Distance Between Similar People"
Sufficed to say, I definitely wasn't expecting interesting character background and development in this series, but this episode pleasantly surprised me.

831 (Hachigatsu Sanjichinichi (Saigo no Hi))
"August 31st (The Last Day)"
Having been looking forward to this sequel ever since Railgun ended back in March, I must say that this first episode certainly did not fail to meet my expectations.

"Galactic Pretty Boy"
When I first heard that BONES, the studio responsible for producing masterpieces such as Eureka Seven, Xam'd: Lost Memories and Darker than BLACK, was making another original mecha series it went right to the top of my list of most anticipated anime of this fall, and so far this year's dose of FABULOUS has not disappointed.

"Down Hill First Love!"
As expected of the likes of XEBEC, the studio that has brought us such timeless classics as To LOVE-Ru, Kanokon, and Ladies versus Butlers!, we're presented with another series of the suspect persuasion. With that said, it's important to know what you're getting yourself into before watching this.

"Excretion Without Honor and Humanity"
Gainax's Gurren Lagann team is back, and this time with a series completely out of the ordinary. In the decade that I've been watching anime, never have I seen something quite like Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.

"Overture Part 2"
Picking up right where we left off, Shana is continuing her search for the rouge Tomogara that attacked Junko.

Collateral Massacre
After a nearly four year hiatus, we get the glorious return of Black Lagoon with this OVA series, titled "Roberta's Blood Trail". Even though I say it's an OVA, this is in fact the third season of the series, which is indicated further by the episode itself being counted as #25 of the anime.

For those a bit out of the loop, the Shakugan no Shana S OVA is based off of a series of short stories which were stacked into one light novel volume and released under the moniker of Shakugan no Shana S back in June of 2006.
As you all know, since Omnis retirement six months ago, Divine has been covering the past two seasons of anime nearly single handedly, taking on 11-16 shows a season and still managing to get posts out in a relatively timely and consistent manner. However, despite Divines seemingly unworldly level of dedication and conviction when it comes to blogging, he is still only one man and can only cover so much at one time. Due to time constraints and other issues, Kiiragi and Prooof are also only able to cover two shows a season, with the indefinitely running shounen series One Piece and Bleach being among them. So, after hearing about how Divine was looking for someone with a diverse taste in anime to cover a more broad array of shows for the site, I decided to offer my help in this endeavor. In doing so, I hope to please the readership of this blog by providing a more broad coverage of anime seasons and satiate my own desire to voice my opinions of the latest anime on a medium other than forum discussion threads.
