I'm starting this thread to let you all know of new series announcements.

First up:

If any of you remember the series, ef - a tale of memories, well, they just announced the sequel to that series, ef - a tale of melodies. I really enjoyed the twisty turny plot line of the original, so I do plan on watching this sequel.

Second:

If any of you have been following ToHeart, its sequel ToHeart - Remember my memories, then the new sequel series ToHeart2, and its sequels ToHeart2 (OAV) & ToHeart2ad, well, they just gave ToHeart2 it's third sequel tentatively titled ToHeart2ad plus. I've followed the series since the very beginning and have loved every minute of its story, so I do plan on watching this too. ^_^

I was glad to hear about ef - a tale of melodies. ef was probably one of my favorite series in recent memory. Very artistic and emotional...

Oh, and don't forget the new Strawberry Marshmallow (or, if you prefer, Ichigo Marshimaro [which I don't]). Kind of like Azumanga Daioh, only with cute girls. Entertaining, but might get you some odd looks...

Ehehe, sorry about that, yeah I saw it, but I was running late for work and I put down those two as fast as I could. ^_^
