Awesomeness. I see three nice shows:
Chihayafuru (Very slow scans for the manga. :/)
Coppelion (Scanlations for the manga kinda stopped so...)
Shakugan no Shana III (FINALLY.)
CubeXCursedXCurious is...fanservicey, judging from the first chapter of the manga (which is the only one that has been scanlated thus far). Might watch it, might not watch it. I mean, the cube becomes a girl. A nude girl. She puts on clothes shortly after, but what the hell. IT'S THE FIRST DAMN CHAPTER OF A REGULAR MANGA. NOT A H-MANGA.
Anyway,
Chihayafuru may be about karuta, but I find it's more of a slice-of-life/coming of age story, about finding your passion and never giving up.
Coppelion might be an interesting show for those of you interested in a darker story, or even sci-fi. As the summary says, the three girls have been genetically engineered to be invulnerable to radiation of any form. They're sent into a deserted Tokyo, made inhospitable by a nuclear meltdown that occurred in a nearby nuclear power plant, in order to search for any survivors and rescue them. I find it's fairly Action, and its story explores the human psyche and the dangers of nuclear technology. Interesting that it's being aired now; the recent nuclear scare in Japan makes this anime all the more apt.
