Recently, I had the pleasure to watch three new animes that aired somewhere between this month and even after just one episode, I'm impressed. I think I'll be adding these to my ever growing watch list... I hope I don't kill my hard drive in the process. ^^;
Below are the titles:
World Destruction: Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin (TV) [Official Website] [ANN Encyclopedia]

EDIT #1: Info on the anime was taken from ANN Network. Episodes on the other hand are available via AnimeSuki. Downloads uses BT (Bittorrent). Of course if you google enough, you might find direct links. ;)
Its still to early to say this but among all three that was mentioned, I hafta say that Natsume Yuujinchou strikes me up the most. Somehow this one gives me joy or that the similar vibe, to put in a different way) when I watched Zettai Shonen and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (two of my all-time personal favs). I thoroughly enjoyed Zettai Shonen and Abenobashi till the end and I hope I'll get that similar feeling as I continue to watch Natsume Yuujinchou.
fyi, all three of the anime above are based on its own manga titles. I haven't read any yet though. I might make a post if I do have that urge to go further by reading the manga.
Also notable, all three have also "ear-catching" OPs and EDs (at least, for me). I'm definitely going after the OSTs when they come out. I hope I don't get bored to listening to it every episode that'll kill off my short term interest.
In any case, if you're an anime/manga fan, you should mark these. Cheers!
