Some of the new shows are from Manga I have read, still reading, or have dropped. Not many, but still...

Kyoukai no RINNE  One of my favortite early episodes of Babylon 5 concerned a union dispute as a side subject. Seeing the creators throw in a story about the commonplace things is always a nice diversion that serves to join us to the world we are watching. Rinne concerns a Shinigami who is always in dire financial straights. This business of soul harvesting is not cheap. The devices that help him do his job cost money.

It is a good joke that is played differently throughout the series, but it gets old. It will get old in an anime quicker.

One of at least two animes where the main character(s) are of a few who see spirits.

I still read the chapters as thyey come out and I have to say that it has (thankfully) taken many many chapters to have the main characters start thinking about how they feel about each other.

Denpa Kyoushi MC is brilliant and removed from the world at large. He gets forced into teaching by his sister (who is a student at the school) and is well-used by the school head/owner. Interesting solutions to getting various difficult students to get involved. Similar to Rinne, the same situation is used over and over with only the particulars changed. Not sure it will stay interesting.

I stopped reading the manga after about chapter 42. It required more of an investment than Rinne did, so the sameness affected me more.

Nisekoi is back. When you have exhausted all the jokes you can have with the the same premise, what do you do? Add another harem interest and start all over. The side stories are far more interesting than the main plot.

I stopped after about chapter 120.

As a side note: the one shot chapter that inspired the series is great.

High School DxD I think I might pick up the light novel for this. I'm not sure if it will pay off, but I thought the second season was as good or better than the first, so I have some hope for this and I wonder where it will lead.
