Triage X

Under the guise of a Hospital, an organization known as "Black Label" meets to decide who is a cancerous tumor on the city they live in. Then, they take them out.
Motorcycles, Snipers, Guns, Explosions, and the search for true justice. Oh and boobies too.

RIN-NE

Rinne Rokuda is a shinigami. Sort of... He's also kinda human at the same time. Which puts performing his duties as a shinigami a little on the expensive side.
Sakura Mamiya can see ghosts. She doesn't remember why, but all she knows is that ghosts are kinda annoying. 
These two make the perfect exorcising duo, as they solve the problems their fellow students have with ghosts, evil spirits, and the like. All the students have to do is leave an offering and Rinne (under his nifty shinigami robe) will attempt to solve their problems. All the while succeeding in emptying Sakura's wallet. Those wheels of fire can be pretty pricey.

Ultimate Otaku Teacher (Denpa Kyoushi)


You will like this show, because chances are you yourself are an Otaku! 

Jun'ichirō Kagami is a total genius. He's also a total slacker, whose only goals in life involve anime, or manga, or games, or anime, and anime. That is until his sister forces him, with the use of a baseball bat of course, to go become the new Physics teacher at the local high school. Hesitant and grumpy at first he slumps his way to the school where he surprisingly finds a motive to be an excellent teacher. The motive being the desire every geek ever has had: To Become a Hero
All you need is a mask!

Arslan Senki

A new anime based on the manga "Arslan Senki" by the writer Hiromu Arakawa which is based on the novel series "The Heroic Legend of Arslan" by writer Yoshiki Tanaka.
The first episode begins with our main character Prince Arslan, who for now is only 11 years old. The Prince in question lives in the Kingdom of Pars, a powerful kingdom ruled by the wealthy, loved by the poor, and loathed by the slaves. The slaves who are prisoners from the neighboring nation, Lusitania. The Lusitanian slaves are given the choice to either die or give up their god and become slaves with the promise of never going hungry. 
One day the prince is kidnapped by an escaped prisoner. A Lusitanian boy the same age as him. He's dragged along on a wild goose chase where he learns the true state of his kingdom, and is presented with the age old conundrum surrounding "All people are created Equal". 
What will he do next? I don't know, but you should watch and find out. Great characters and beautiful artwork. Definitely has the makings to be the hit of the season.

Plastic Memories

We as a society often fear what would happen if robots were to develop personalities. Writer Naotaka Hayashi explores the idea in whole different direction, one similar to that of the Astro Boy universe.
Tsukasa Mizugaki takes a job at the renowned SAI Corporation, a company that specializes in robots that have personalities. These robots are known as Giftia. Giftia are so advanced that it's near impossible to tell the difference between them and a human. The Giftia however only have a limited time in which they can live before their personalities malfunction. Mizugaki's job is to deal with retrieving the Giftia who are about to reach their "expiration date".

Gunslinger Stratos

I know very little about this anime, except for what I learned while watching the first episode. This anime is based off a video game series of the same name, and it seems the actual plot for the show is a bit unknown at this point.
So far it's great! The story starts 100 years in the future, with our two main characters. One boy and one girl. They attend a high school in what was once Japan, but is now known as the "17th Far East Imperial City Management District" which definitely seem to roll off the tongue better. There are report of disappearances throughout the city. A person will be there one second and gone the next. They refer to this as being "Spirited Away". Meanwhile our male protagonist has been having disturbing nightmares about the very same thing. Needless to say he's a bit concerned. Especially when he comes across the little girl who's been a major part of these  nightmares.
There's guns! There's lightsaber-esque swords! There's all around science fiction awesomeness! And the obvious beginnings of romance!

Re-Kan!

Meet the latest Horror Comedy Slice-of-Life cast that will soon win over your hearts. We have our lovable Amami (purple hair, main protagonist) who can see ghosts and talk to animals. These two powers obviously go hand in hand but I'm not quite sure why yet... Then we have our cute but dubious best-friend-to-be character Inoue (red haired, super deformed girl on the left) who is the first person to meet the eccentric girl. There's also a bunch of other girls, who's names I have yet to know (I've only seen one episode, gosh!) and a cute little kitty that just wants to see some panties.
This anime promises to be a lot of fun accompanied by gorgeous background art. A definite must see for anime, comedy, and horror fans.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma

This anime is so funny! I'm not quite sure exactly where to start when talking about this one. All I know is that after the first episode I was so hungry!
Sōma is a boy living and working in his Father's restaurant! He loves it, and he can't wait to grow up and join his Dad as a chef. However, his dreams are shattered when his father tells him that he is going close the restaurant, and go work as a chef in america. Instead Sōma ends up going to a culinary school, which is so elite it only has a graduation rate of 10%.
As far as I can tell, this show might be a bit similar to Kill la Kill, but with food instead of swords.
Warning: Apparently Sōma's food is a bit of an aphrodisiac...

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Imagine a world exactly like that of an RPG. Now take away all the parts that make it a game and you have the world this anime is set in. Except in this world guilds are known as Familia, that are lead by a god or goddess who grants blessings on the members.
Our main character is a boy named Bell, who has recently been given blessings from a goddess he rescued. However he is the only member of his so-called Familia. And just what is his big goal as he takes on the dungeons by himself? Well he wants to get a girlfriend, of course.
I personally recommend this one. Though I've only seen the first episode, I can tell this anime will turn into something great! Plus, it's super hilarious.
