Looking at all the new series coming out, this season seems promising. I’m still anxiously waiting for Vampire Knight to release, but in the meantime I already started watching a couple of things. So here’s a quick review on what I think.
Tower of Druaga – the Aegis of Uruk

The first episode was far from anything that I expected from this series. I thought it was just going to be an action series, which I was happy about considering I was just in the mood for something like that, but in the end I ended up being completely wrong. Soon enough they started making joke after joke, I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t find them funny at all, I remember even laughing out loud for some. The point was that I just didn’t want a series like that. It’s hard to tell if they plan on keeping it this way though, the end of the episode suggested that I may actually get my action packed series, but it’s hard to tell. It also has decent animation, which is always a plus. I actually think it’s a good series with lots of potential, it’s more of a personal preference on my part, but I definitely plan on watching more.
Chi’s Sweet Home

I guarantee that after the first episode you will fall in love with this series! It really is a shame that the episodes have to be so short (roughly 2 minutes), but this really is so good! A new episode comes out everyday, which honestly leaves me beyond overjoyed, but I wonder how many episodes this is actually going to have? The story is basically about a cat that loses its mom and gets took in by a family. I’m pretty sure it’s based on a manga that I need to read as soon as I find it (I know I sound a bit crazy enthusiastic over this). The cat is simply adorable! I also love the thirty-second opening. This is a series almost too cute for its own good! If you don’t enjoy watching this in any way I will seriously doubt that you have a soul. The last time I saw a short series this good was Kogepan (the burnt toast that talks). This is definitely worth every minute of your time!

Hmm, the scanlations of Chii’s Sweet Home are up to about chapter 40(2 volumes), while there are 4 volumes out as of now I believe, and with 4 eps a week, I guess it’ll run for a 2-cour season, since they are staying very close to the manga and each episode focuses on 1 manga chapter.

That’s a reasonable amount of episodes I guess. Thanks for the information
