I thought I'd take a quick look at the latest chart for the upcoming season. This is not comprehensive, by any means, but there were a few entries that were noteworthy.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa -- is about a boy who has a crush on a girl who happens to be a vampire. (And, presumably, bites him a lot.) Man, haven't we seen this before? (Rosario to something...)

Gakkou Gurashi -- Four girls decide to spend the night at their school, and just by chance that's when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. gad...

There's going to be another season of Cinderella Girls. Which I won't be watching.

There's going to be a new Dragon Ball series, placed after the Majin Buu arc. I think I'm not interested.

Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri -- sounds bizarre. A squad of soldiers from the JSDF are transported to a fantasy world to fight a dragon.

There's going to be a sequel to Gatchaman Crowds. Which I won't be watching.

Monster Musume is on the list. (Which I probably won't be watching.)

Charlotte features a boy with special powers who is trying to keep it secret. Then he, and all the others, get revealed. This might be cool but probably will suck.

Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Takutsu no Sekai -- is noteworthy because the publicity picture is of a grinning girl who is stark naked except for a pair of panties on her head.

The slips of paper all say 青, which means "immature, unripe".

The basic story is that serious puritanism has been imposed on the country by law: no coarse language, no suggestive activities, and so on. Our Hero gets pulled into a secret group of teenage terrorists, whose terrorism seems to involve streaking and other attempts to scandalize the mundanes. The naked girl in the publicity picture is probably the leader of the group. It's listed as "comedy, ecchi" and likely will involve a lot of fogging, branches, and other forms of censorship for broadcast, removed on the BDs. I dunno about this. J.C. Staff?

There's going to be another "Working" series. (This one has three exclamation points in the title instead of two.)

There's going to be a sequel to To Love-Ru.

Yay! Bikini Warriors!!!

There's going to be yet another Prizma-Illya sequel

Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan -- has some sort of story, but it's screaming "HAREM!" at the top of its lungs.

Venus Project is yet another idol show, this time in a science fiction setting. It appears to be a teaser series for a computer game. The girls are shapely and wear skimpy clothing. I will not be watching this.

Except for Bikini Warriors and maybe the one about naked terrorists, I don't see anything here that reaches out to grab me.
