New animes not to be missed

And now, for an otaku blog.
There are some rather interesting new animes going around currently. Mentioned here are some of the more notable:
1. Nabari - This story revolves around Rokujo Miharu, a boy who has the Shinrabansho inside of him. Shinrabansho is like the greatest knowledge of the Nabari (ninja) world and can grant anything that the user wishes. Currently, the plot is on their (himself and a few other characters which i forgot their names) effort in either sealing or extracting the Shinrabansho from his body. Overall (up till ep07), the animation, sound, music and presentation makes this a worthwhile anime to watch, especially after the 'normal' and 'boring' Naruto. Sorry Naruto fans...

2. Mnemosyne - This anime isn't for the faint hearted or those who watch anime on a leisure basis. Try watching the first episode, and you'll get what i mean. A solid effort from a new anime studio (new here refers to one i've never heard of) with very nice and detailed artwork and out-of-the-ordinary storyline. By the way, i can't tell much here since it'll spoil the anime. It's one of those anime where it's better watched rather than talked...

3. Code Geass, Lelouch of the rebellion R2 - The second season of a similarly titled anime, the plot now continues as Zero is 'resurrected' and continues his rebellion against the Brittanian government. As expected, they continued the first season's wonderful artwork and improved on the overall presentation. A must watch for mecha and Clamp-work based freaks (i'm of the latter).

4. Misc: Others which kinda interest me which needs to be mentioned are Kanokon and Ayakashi. The former is a ecchi type of anime (those who digs nekomimi, inumimi n stuff will surely like this one) and the latter... i'm still watching the first few episodes and haven't deleted it yet (which means it's quite okay).

Some other new animes not mentioned here are either:
1- I don't recommend watching
2-i haven't watched yet
3-Both of the above
Any good anime titles you'd like to share? Just post a comment.

And now, for some screenshots~~~
First up, Nabari no Ou

Characters are (from left): Miharu, Thobari-sensei, Kouichi and Raimei. All are from the Banten area/village

Next up, Mnemosyne


In this scene from Ep01, Rin (the lady doing the stunt move) is saving Maeno (some guy she found whom... wait. I'm putting no spoilers here. Go watch it)

Last but not least, Code Geass R2
Zero (Lelouch masked character) and C.C. Both are allies. Geass power obtained by Lelouch was given by C.C.
Great friends, but also worst enemies. Lelouch (left) and Suzaku. On Lelouch's left eye is the side-effect of overusing his Geass.
A scene from EP07, showing the clean and detailed work of the anime studio. A round of applause please~~~ *Clapx3
