The current anime season is slowly approaching its holiday finale, which means it's time to start taking some perverted peeks at the upcoming winter animes. And thanks to a couple of pictorial reports from Dengeki Online (via AnimeNation), we can start with two of them: White Album and Taishou Yakyuu Musume.

The latter will be a sport'ish school anime, based on a light novel series also know as Taishou-Era Baseball Girls, which so far spawned 2 volumes packed full of baseballing lolis. Below you can see what the anime characters will look like, although I should point out that we may not see them hopping and hugging as early as this winter, since no release date was announced yet.


White Album, on the other hand, is known to be set for a January 2009 TV premiere. As announced back in June, this anime series will be based on one of Leaf's early ero-games from 1998, and below you'll find the anime character designs posted by Dengeki.
