Period? Well … if that’s more your thing then one of the series I didn’t cover, Sengoku Basara 2, might be more your thing. As the 2 in the title suggests – it’s a (yet another) sequel – and is set in the Warring States period – so you’re going to see such characters as Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Masamune Date and several other historic figures.

As for this being the final one, yes. Not enough of the remainder grabbed my interest enough to warrant another post, and, if I kept going at my current pace I’d still be “previewing” summer series when the autumn ones have started airing :) Here’s a linky

Not good, especially when I have other things I want to write about.

Oh noes! This is the final one? Will there be any epics this year? Or period anime? It seems like forever since we had something serious and swashbuckling like Chrono Crusade and X and those kinds of anime. Not that I have a thing against highschool girls and zombies, but I’m looking forward to some really great action/adventure/drama anime.
I don’t know, its entirely possible that I just live under a rock and have missed them.

I’m sure you know exactly who I had in mind when I chose that as one of the shows I wanted to highlight :)

As for Highschool of the Dead – from what I’ve heard, there will be some fanservice, but they don’t clobber you over the head with it, but I’ll withhold any comments on that until I’ve actually watched it myself.

Unable to deliver any good comments about these… Once catgirls are mentioned then any subsequent comments will be biased and catgirls will always, ALWAYS be the winner.
So clearly Asobi ni Iku Yo wins. :3
Kuroshitsuji II – meh…
High School of the Dead – Zombies and boobs… o wait… forgot… panties… so I take it next will be Pirates, boobs and panties?

Originality, originality… where for art thou my fair originality?
