Ooooh, I love perusing these up-and-coming anime lists!

One must-watch for me will be Kemono no Soja Erin. Based off a book by the author of Seirei No Moribito! I'm a big fan of fantasy anime, and Seirei No Moribito just seemed to do everything right, with lots of attention paid to making the setting realistic, and a good dose of the supernatural. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very memorable. I have high hopes for this series.

My other must-watch is the Higurashi OVA. Heck yes. That series was brilliant.

Others that I might check out are Kurokami, Ride Back, and the sequel to Shikibane Hime if I ever get around to completing the first one.
