Infinite Stratos : B+
As a harem anime, Infinite Stratos doesn't start out too badly. Ichika Orimura is the only male student at the otherwise all-female academy that teaches the usage of the Infinite Stratos exoskeleton combat suit. His homeroom teacher is his older sister, an IS user games champion, and one of his classmates is a girl that used to be in his kendo class 6 years earlier. Between the ones that know and want to crush him, and the rest of the girls that want to date him, Ichika may not make it past the first year alive.
Yume Kue Merry : A-
Dream Eater Merry starts out pretty good, but there's little on this series in English outside of what's starting to show up now that the series has begun on TV. Fujiwara is a school boy that has been able to see various auras around other people, when he puts his mind to it. Lately, he's been having nightly dreams about being chased by cats. One day, a girl in a goth-loli outfit falls on him and loses her hat. When Fujiwara picks it up, he finds himself back in the dream world, suddenly facing a Spawn-like masked figure with a red cape and cat ears, who talks about taking over Fujiwara's body to enter the real world. The goth-loli girl shows up in the dream, calling herself Merry, and fights the villain. It turns out to be a draw, and Merry revels herself to be someone with no knowledge of who they are.
Occult Academy : A
