Another anime title scheduled for airing in the winter season of 2010, Freezing is definitely a must watch for viewers interested in ecchi fanservice, like myself.
To tell the truth, I don't have much clue about its storyline although its trailer indicates that it might be a futuristic version of Queen's Blade and Hyakka Ryoran. A simple search yielded the following:

Set in a slightly futuristic world where Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova, the story follows the adventures of a Japanese boy named Kazuya Aoi who enrolls for training at a special school for genetically modified girls called Pandoras who battle the aliens, and their male partners, called Limiters, who use a special power called "freezing" to limit their opponent's mobility. The protagonist makes the acquaintance of an unusual older girl named Bridgette L. Satellizer who appears to be the most powerful Pandora in her class, but has not yet chosen a male partner to be her Limiter due to her intense aphephobia or fear of being touched, a condition that had arisen from a traumatic childhood where she had been sexually abused by her foster brother, and in spite of the warnings of all his friends, he decides to be her Limiter.
Some related images, which could possibly be official art for the manga:
There is a chance that Freezing might air uncensored, since its broadcast channel is stated to be AT-X, according to some sources.
In addition, feel free to visit the official anime website, where one can view the trailer and play a somewhat ecchi mini-game under the "Special" tab:

Hopefully, Freezing's anime counterpart will not disappoint. That being said, I ought to purchase the manga one of these days.
will it be English dubbed?
