Fall 2010 Anime Line-up

It's been a long time since I last watched an anime. (miss them so much!!) I believe most people do not expose themselves in anime cos they think these are just some childish cartoons for kids and some immature adults. I do not deny but I do not agree either. After all, I can't change the way people think. Different person has different opinions. It's their choice. ^ ^

Anyway, the fall season (or normally we call it as autumn) is starting. With that, I purposely update about the latest anime that has to come during this season. So this post is especially dedicated to every ANIME LOVERS out there~ hope you guys enjoy =)

This is the Fall 2010 Anime Chart. It compiles a little preview of anime that has to come. Please have a look at what's awaiting us this time.

She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching the runaway spirits. These spirits hide themselves inside the girl's heart, and Elsee suggests that the only method to force the spirits out is by "capturing" their hearts - making them fall in love.
