Koi-Ken: Based on the love simulation game on mobile phone of the same name.

You can tell which shows I will be reviewing at the start of April! Fate Zero Season 2 is a yes. After last season's cliffhanger which leave everyone in suspence, the explosive conclusion will be told. (Of course, if you watch Fate Stay Night, you will already know what was the end results.)

Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka Season 2 can be considered as this show is both dark and yet funny at the same time. Especially Ayumu's transformation of the Mashou Shojou is hillarious to see and my favourite female-Sera and now another member of her clan who is extremly hot joined the group.

Saint Seiya Omega look interesting given that it is Saint Seiya's 25th Anniversary this year. But will we will see Seiya and Toru Furyu potraying him again? Shining Hearts is another spin-off from Shining Series by Sega and this one could be interesting. The voice cast which consists of an all star cast like Hiroshi Kamiya, Ito Kanade and Tamaru Yukari might be worth it. (Provide they don't screw up like Shining X Wind)

Queen Blade Rebellion is 100% fan-service so better watch this on AT-X. I watch the episode zero of this show and it is all right. Some of you might already know what happen to Reina and Tomoe in this new series. (Reina become a masked avenger while Tomoe was blinded and remain in Japan as the new head priestness)

Saki Side A which is what I am calling and I am disappointed the producers is moving to this direction. The first series' conclusion showed Saki and her group going to the Nationals to face off her elder sister but now we are moving a step backwards with this new group?

The rest of the shows will be watch three episodes first then decide as usual. I didn't put up some shows like Jewelpet Kira Deko, Beyblade Zero-G and Kimi to Boku as they are not really my type and there are some odd ones like Gakkatsu and Shirokuma Cafes that are mostly gag shows.

See you in April for the new shows!
