Minami-ke episodes 8 through 13 (Season 1 END)
Minami-ke follows the daily life of the three Minami sisters: Chiaki, Kana, and Haruka. A slice-of-life comedy title that depicts the three girls' dependence on each other to get through everything, from love confessions to cooking and done so in an extraordinary fashion. A total of 3 seasons and an original video animation (OVA) has been made since its anime debut in 2007. Minori Chihara (Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kagura Tsuchimiya from Ga-Rei -Zero-), Marina Inoue (Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Alicia Melchiott from Valkyria Chronicles), and Rina Satou (Ange Ushiromiya from Umineko no Naku Koro ni, Mikoto Misaka from To Aru Majutsu no Index/Kagaku no Railgun) voice the three sisters, respectively. Masahiko Oota (Mitsudomoe, Yuru Yuri, Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na ~Crescent Love~) directs the show, Takashi Aoshima (same titles) composes the script, and Daume (Shiki, Onegai Teacher, and DearS) supplies the animation.

Tiger & Bunny episodes 17 through 25 (END)
Tiger & Bunny is an original work by Sunrise (Gundam, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop) that began airing in Japan in April 2011. Set in the city of Sternbild where people of various races and backgrounds live, there are also an additional type of human beings known as NEXT. NEXT are those with supernatural powers, some of whom use them for evil deeds and those who use them for good and justice. The latter are known as the "Heroes" of the city and each one of them are sponsored by a company to help earn "reputation points" n the popular "Hero TV" program. The hero with the most points at the end of a season is deemed as the King of Heroes. Wild Tiger, who is a veteran with a strong sense of justice, is one of those heroes, but his hero job begins taking a 180 degree turn when he is suddenly partnered with the new hero, Barnaby. Together they become heroes known as "Tiger & Bunny."
