black lagoon OVA's most definitly the one to look for known for its high octane shoot em up action and the fact its a OVA we might see a bit more gore!
Nurarihyon no Mago maybe it looks good STUDIO DEEN ok yeah not the worst bunch the plot is ok but something sounds a bit cleche?
Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin geez not much i can say about this but? some kinda of water'd down of B.B :S

my picks for the season are...
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?sh ... e&aid=7268 Shiki=vampires and mystery O_o?
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?sh ... e&aid=7381 J.C staff fierce looking girl with canine smile a little red head girl with a dark aura hmmm not bad :P

legend of the legendary heroes just makes me hard knowing its the closest thing i can get from Zexcs to something relivent enough for a new season of chrome shelled regios WHICH THEY DID PROMISE ME!!! A SEQUAL IN 2010! come on! where is it!!!

Image
black lagoon: roberta's blood trail well another season would've been much more appreciated but none the less OVA's bring out the juice of animation standards... lets all pray to god it turns into something great...

Image
high school of the dead i hear alot of good about the manga makes me wonder if it will be a decent survival horror anime then i notice tags for ecchi and i am never suprised by that :lol:

Image
shiki from the trailers i've seen its like higurashi with vampires and yeah.....whatever :D

Image
seikimatsu occult gakuin i dunno if its the title or the trailer or the fact the picture of her sitting on a man has me curious about this one?

Image
nurahyon no mago its by studio deen so for some reason its bad??? but i thought thats what you say when its done by GONZO? :P

An unknown party has posted several episodes from the Naruto Shippūden, Fairy Tail, Heroman, and Occult Academy anime series onto the YouTube website on Wednesday. All of the episodes have been posted before they will air in Japan on TV Tokyo or simulcast on the Crunchyroll website. The episodes include:

* Naruto Shippūden 169 (Naruto 289, July 22 airing date)
* Fairy Tail 40 (August 2)
* Heroman 22-23
* Occult Academy 3 (July 19)

The party's user channel is not currently available, but the videos remain on YouTube. The party also posted episodes 7-9 of Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri on June 3 (after they had aired in Japan).

[Via Uri-Sure Matome+ (Iroiro)]

Update: More background information added.

Update 2: All of the videos are "no longer available due to a copyright claim by TV TOKYO Corporation(CVP)."

Update 3: Links to the now inactive videos have been added to this article.

Update 4: Occult Academy director Tomohiko Ito joked via his Twitter account on Thursday that the leaks are "clearly the work of a [Japanese supernatural creature] tengu."


:lol: Geez, that almost makes the Sony cock-up forgivable.

After watching the first ep it gave me some "Tenchi Muyo... with catgirls and GUNS" vibes, and that concerns me greatly. Out of the few shows I've watched thus far, I have to say my favourite is Heartcatch PreCure episode 23.

Word is that Occult Gakuin will be the last Anime no Chikara show. Ratings and dvd sales for Senkou no Night Raid have been so poor that it is unlikely the anime-dedicated timeslot will be renewed.

So Anime no Chikara goes the way of Noise. Only faster. I feared it may struggle to reach a consistent demographic in the way noitaminA has.

It never went for a consistent demographic. -_- Sora no Woto, Senko no Night Raid and Occult Gakuin are aimed at three completely different audiences.

And something like this will send another message that straying outside of moe is riskier than ever and probably scare off others from trying to buck the trend. That is my concern.

noitaminA struggled to find its feet to begin with. Its first four titles: Honey & Clover, Paradise Kiss, Ayakashi Tales of Japanese Horror and Jyu Oh Sei, were so far apart in style, subject matter and quality it is hard to believe that it survived. But the college student viewership for seinen and josei helped it get on track and it has been running ever since, the longest lasting dedicated anime broadcasting block. And for something that airs past midnight, it gets decent ratings, so the sponsors are happy, and the studio is even happier if the dvd sales go reasonably well, such as with Eden of the East.

The reason why Anime no Chikara failed, despite having a fourth show lined up to follow Occult Gakuin (where is that production going, now?), was because the second title failed to meet expectations. You can be as adventurous as you like, but if the show, itself, is not good, and Senkou no Night Raid was pretty mediocre for a good half of its episodes (and I had extremely high hopes for it before it screened.... I was expecting it to be the show of the season, and I have to give that title to the noitaminA series Tatami Galaxy) then the problem is more one of a lack of talent behind the scenes needed to pull this sort of thing off.

The fact that Senkou no Night Raid remains one of the few series of its season to not be complete, in terms of subs available on the net, speaks volumes. Even the fansubbers didn't like it that much. Don't get me wrong, though; I'd much rather they try and fail with something like this than to shovel more of the poorly-realised otaku-bait horseshi.t on us that they have been doing, recently (hello Angel Beats).

The problem being Angel Beats snaffles 25k sales in a flash and justifies its existence from a pragmatic/financial point of view. Which is what ultimately keeps those studios afloat. So no surprise Madhouse threw sense of quality and aspriations aside to take Highschool of the Dead as a 'Hail Mary' last second play to keep their series-side of their studio alive. Madhouse has been doing good series for years, but they're not selling. So when KyoAni can troll the audience but crank out 40k+ with K-ON!, SHAFT can break all rules with braodcast quality and deadlines with Bakemonogatari then force people to buy the product to see the good version but still get 50k+, J.C. Staff find a balance between churning out moe filler for money and make other series for artistic merit in between. Sunrise always has Gundam to keep it afloat, along with inevitable sequels/spinoffs of Code Geass. Gainax has 'The War'.

A-1 has been reasonable of late but their titles don't have the financial moxy. They need to have a title crack 20k+. Sora no Woto's sales did crack 10k but they need something bigger. Senko no Night Raid had the potential but was a disaster in the end.

*shrug* I am seeing nothing to look forward to in October. January 2011 is slowly forming...so far A-1 will be doing Fractale as a last resort to get A-1 back on track but sounds interesting. Madhouse are doing....SUPERNATURAL?! :shock: What in the hell?! Oh god....those pictures of animated Sam and Dean... /khaaaan Bones have my interest most so far with Gosick. Although, when the director's resume is rather....I'm not holding my breath.

This summer season is quite a fizzle. Were you continuing with any series, Mappy?
