The Scrumptious Anime Chefs bring to you an almost complete list of this winter season’s anime. Yes, it’s back, albeit late! With a rather large disparity in our tastes, we’ve included “Chef Chaff” in each of our preview, to give you an idea of what we think of the title.

Don’t forget to tell us what YOU will be watching. Bon app�tit.

Title: Natsume Yuujinchou (?????)
Scrumptious Meter: 4.5 (next best thing to slice bread~with a little extra sugar and spice on top)
Length: 13 episodes

Since xxxHOLiC and Mononoke, I have developed an interest towards anime that deals with traditional Japanese folklore, particularly those concerning youkai, mononoke and ayakashi. Thus, I have anticipated Natsume Yuujinchou, which tells of a boy named Natsume Takashi who has the ability to see spirits. He inherits The Book of Friends from his grandmother, Reiko, who, too, had that same ability. It contains the names of the spirits that Reiko has defeated. Now that Natsume has that book, he is pursued by spirits wanting to get hold of it and those who wish for their names to be returned.

The summer shows have aired, and now is the time to decide which animes to follow throughout this whole drought season. After sampling many of the summer offerings, what came about was a balanced-looking diet (aka filled with ‘variety’, a mix of good animes worth keeping and other ones for pure entertainment lulz), which is still subject to changes without prior notice
