The end of the year is approaching fast and so is the end of the current season of anime. Although I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a season preview since I’ve been neglecting the anime side of this blog for a while but I know some of you like to know what’s coming up so this is for you! From my past experiences Winter season always had a number of shows that I thoroughly enjoyed, but looking at the current list there doesn’t appear to be that many that perk my interests.

Cobra the Animation - 2nd January
Synopsis: Cobra is very known space pirate, but decides to change his face and to clear all his memories. He becomes a common guy, with a common job, and a very boring life, but suddenly he starts remembering his true identity and new adventures begin.
Adun’s Bit: A classic turned into TV series. Cobra was one early anime that I watched when I started watching anime, but of course that was only the movie and OVA series. I look forward to seeing a new Cobra TV series (there was an original 31 episode series but I never watched it).
Mini’s Bit: I never any of the original Cobra anime (I started with Dirty Pair and Gunbuster), so this could be a belated chance for me to get onto the bandwagon.
Chu-bra!! - 4th January
Synopsis: A girl who loves underwear so much she tries to start an underwear club at school.
Adun’s Bit: When I read the synopsis I was like WTF. Now I know fanservice is basically a basic element in a lot of anime, but I can sense that this kind of series is going to go overboard. Sure I do like some fanservice however but I prefer it in moderation. Of course I will watch the first episode to see how it goes. Though I doubt I will go any further than that.
Mini’s Bit: Gonna have to disagree with you there, brother. The more fanservice, the better - revel in it! I’ll be sure to check this series out. Note that this series is directed by Hiiro Yukina who was also the director of Gakuen Heaven, so there might be some girl-on-girl lovin’ too.
