Oogami is a Code Breaker, one who "does not exist". He is a seemingly cold-blooded killer who follows the principle of "an eye for an eye", to "use evil against evil". Convinced that killing is not right, Sakurakouji sets out to stop him and penetrate his icy heart.

Episodes: ?
Notable Features:- Will not watch.

That's a lesson Tamaki learns all too graphically when she is attacked by creatures she thought only existed in myths! Fortunately, she is rescued by an extraordinary young man: one who is not only part demon; but her future classmate as well, and one of the group of protectors that Tamaki will need if she's going to fulfill her destiny as a Tamayori princess. A destiny that no one's bothered to tell her she's inherited until just now! And if it wasn't bad enough to learn that every plan she'd had for the future has to change, to top it all off, Tamaki still has to start attending a new high school as well!
Preview: I didn't watch the first season and won't watch this one. Sounds like your standard cheesy shoujo Anime.

In the absence of advanced scientific technology, people are using this power as a major source of energy.
One day, a girl called Saki, along with her friends, finds a small archive robot outside the town. It records the ancient history of humans. It tells them that Juryoku was found in the 21st century and the discovery caused a world war between psychics and non-psychics. The psychics won this war and thus their reign of terror began.
When the adults in town figure out that the children discovered this forbidden knowledge, they seal their Juryoku and exile them. Saki and the others end up in a forest where they meet a huge hairless bipedal mouse known as a "Bakenezumi" and get involved in a violent war the creatures are currently engaged in.
Preview: This actually sounds pretty intense, I've never heard of it but I'll definitely give it a try. I also really like the animation in the trailer.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
Official Site: http://sakurasou.tv/
Genre: Comedy, Romance, School
Airs: October 9th @ 12:30AM JST on Tokyo MX
Producers: J.C. Staff
Episodes: ?
Notable Features:- Will try.
Summary: The school romantic comedy revolves around a second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's school. One day, Mashiro Shiina —a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan, brilliant artist— moves into Sakurasou.
Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like "a master and his pet."
Preview: I am pretty unsure about this one. At first it sounded like another excessively ecchi Anime that I tend to avoid like the plague but as I continued reading the description I hoped that might not be the case. Awkward smart people make for some good entertainment and it might be interesting to watch a high school Anime that revolves around dorm life instead of class. The trailer is also quite charming:
