Kotoura-san has made it all the way from humble web manga to the giddy heights of minor hit gag anime – being acclaimed by some as the funniest of the season, and inciting more enthusiasm even than the belated “4th” season of Minami-ke (and in fact it shares the same director as both the legendary first season of Minami-ke, and the same voice talent as a certain cephalopod invader).

The 2nd episode of eroge anime Da Capo III has gained some renown for perhaps having the most female anatomy on display of any title of the season – although the absence of huge gouts of steam would seem to imply not much can expected from the eventual disc release…

Whether they disagree as to the vexed question of whether baka-yarou anime Minami-ke is now in its 2nd or 4th season, few have disagreed with the general opinion that the latest series finally does the franchise justice again – some even going so far as to comment that “it’s so funny we don’t even need the ero!”

The latest excess of the light novel title generator to receive its obligatory anime adaptation is Ore no Kanojo to Osanajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru (loosely, “My girlfriend & childhood friend are constantly at each others throats,” and thankfully abbreviated to Oreshura) – and though its contents look to be as formulaic as its title, it has nonetheless been well received and even boasts some high level nopan service in its first outing.

Newly airing boob anime Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (“Overlord & Hero”), based on the novelisation of a story found on 2ch, has already proven well received, thanks in no small part (in fact to two huge parts) to the busty and heavily animated charms of its sexy evil overlord anti-heroine and her squad of henchmaid lackeys.
