The never ending anime saga continues with another set of new shows scheduled to air this summer... and I'm here to introduce some of those that I'll probably be watching, as always.

Teppei Arima is a second-year high school student who lost both of his parents in a traffic accident on their way home from a family trip. His grandfather, Isshin Arima, happens to wield the puppet strings in Japan's vast economy and demands that Teppei becomes his successor as the head of the Arima Group. To prepare for his debut into high society, Teppei enrolls in an elite academy for the scions of the rich and powerful.

And so here goes another eroge adaptation... What more should the viewers expect but ecchiness, ecchiness, and more ecchiness! The promotional video says it all and has really caught my attention. Though I seriously doubt that it's gonna bring something new to the table (as far as romance/ecchi/harem is concerned), I do find the character designs pretty neat and tasty! In short, go visit the website, watch an updated version of its trailer, and check out the "Character" category to see the art designs; that should explain well enough as to why I'll be looking forward to this. (but that's just me of course) :D
Just to add, here's the OP of Ricotta's original Princess Lover! visual novel released from a year ago: (for those like me who haven't played it yet)
...The four main girls kinda reminds me of four other girls from a variety of series that I've seen in the past... not that I care about such things anyway. Btw, GoHands' responsible for producing this anime which is slated to premiere this July (more or less) - no confirmed dates given yet.
Alright, here's to inform everyone anticipating this series that it should be airing in Japan as I speak... or may even be done by now. (I didn't really check, all I knew was its date & time of broadcast) Raws should definitely be out in a jiffy. :D
Here's a couple of pics to celebrate this momentous occasion. :D
Spoiler:
Just a fact: I tend to dislike pink-haired girls but the main heroine in this one seems to radiate a certain charm which attracts me to her... looks, mostly. :lol: (we'll see later on if I can still say the same)
I also haven't played the game and never bothered conducting a background check, thus I know nothing of the characters, not even their names for that matter, yet.

Anyway, I digress. Princess Lover is definitely on my must-watch list for Summer 2009 and hopefully, some fansub group will do a good job on the entire project.

For its animation alone, the first episode really struck on me deep down. I so can't wait for the subs to come out. :D (gotta love the summer season)
Also, I didn't actually think that I'd grew fond of Silvia Van Hossen so quickly, only in this episode. She's my least favorite out of the four before I saw it, but now...
There's the torrent of the first episode sub'd. God, my schedule sure is clogged! I've gotta wait until Friday before I can actually see this... so feel free to watch it before me, and make sure to leave some comments afterwards.
I could care less about her being a Saber "imitation"...
Anyway, I'm kinda torn between Sylvia and Charlotte. I like the first for being elegant and the latter for being a tease. Well, I suppose there's still plenty of time in getting to know them better before I could choose the most ideal one, not only between those two but within all of the four main girls.
I've seen the first two episodes and I am enjoying the anime alot. I do have to say, my favorite girl is the Saber clone by far. Has anyone had the chance to take a look at the CGs from the actual game? They are pretty good...except for the amount of urination that goes on.
I can't really put my finger on it, but I really like this so far. I was pretty resistant going into it. I've pretty much lost all faith in the Harem genre, but this might just change my mind.
