Checkpoint: Zombie?, Hourou Musuko, Level E

Last update - Jan 6, 23:07 GMT (18:07 EST, 15:07 PST)

And yet another title is being added today to Crunchyroll's January 2011 anime line-up: the comedy / ecchi / harem series Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?. Coming from Studio Deen, the anime will begin airing - and streaming - on January 11 (again, the theoretical January 10 starting time is well past midnight in Japan). This brings the number of new series starting on Crunchyroll this month to 8... and counting?




Oh, wait, another press release just came in (no, srsly!) - so make that 9 titles. The latest one is Hourou Musuko, quite a highly anticipated anime series coming from studio AIC, based on a slice-of-life / school manga by Takako Shimura (Aoi Hana). Hourou Musuko starts airing on January 14, and likewise simulcasting on Crunchyroll as "Wandering Son".


Next, another anime series starting this month, on January 15 - albeit absent from our list of release dates - is the second season of Chi-Sui Maru. It's some sort of Flash anime, about a super-deformed mosquito hunting for a certain office worker, to suck on his "delicious blood". Yeah, truly fascinating... ANN wrote a bit about it today, if you're actually interested.


Update: Nope, nope, make that 10 titles! Level E also joined Crunchyroll's list tonight, and it will start airing and streaming this January 11. Without further ado, I leave you with some local trailers for this sci-fi comedy anime adaptation co-created by Studio Pierrot and David Production.
