Hey everyone! Lugiamania here rounding up the new title announcements for today! Crunchyroll is excited to be streaming Kotoura-San this winter season!

Kotoura-San is based on a popular web manga by Enokids, published by Manga Goccha for Micro Magazine, that has over 7.5 million views. A romantic comedy, Kotoura-San tells the story of Kotoura Haruka, a girl with an unwanted ability to read minds. This power has caused many hardships for her since she was young and led her to distance herself from people. But when she transfers to Midorigaoka High School and meets Manabe Yoshihisa, she begins to gradually open her heart again, despite the fact that his mind is full of perverted thoughts!

The staff of Kotoura-San is well-versed in the realm of school-life anime, with the director of Mitsudomoe and YuruYuri Masahiko Oota helming the series, character designer and animation director Takaharu Okuma, who also worked on Mitsudomoe, and writer Takashi Aoshima, who worked on both Mitsudomoe and YuruYuri along with director Oota. Voice actress Hisako Kanemoto, also known for her role in Kokoro Connect as Yui Kiriyama, will be voicing the titular character, and will be joined by voice actor Jun Fukushima, who also played Jin in Aquarion Evol.

Whats up everyone,

Lets continue to crush our way through the 2013 winter season with the addition of Vividred Operation to our lineup!!!

A-1 Picture’s latest original anime - Vividred Operation - is set to broadcast every Sunday starting on January 13, at 7:00 am Pacific Time for audiences in the following territories: U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa.

Under direction of Kazuhiro Takamura (whose notable directorial productions include the Strike Witches franchise), this series is geared up to make a big splash this season. Never heard of it before? Here's a little breakdown to get tickle your appetite:

“That is everyone's wish. Here in a world where science has solved all questions. This story is set in Oshima. The happy, carefree 14 year old Akane Isshiki lived a poor, but well loved life together with her reliable little sister, Momo, who does all the housework, and her grandfather, Kenjirou, a genius inventor who only created useless devices. When the weather is clear, they can see the artificial island, Blue Island, across the sea. In the center of that island rises the revolutionary Manifestation Engine, a discovery that solved the world's energy problems.

It is a peaceful future, just like everyone dreamed of: one where everyone can smile and be happy. Suddenly, the world is visited by danger. An unknown enemy – the Alone – appear, targeting the Manifestation Engine. As none of their weapons worked and they fell into despair, a lone girl takes a stand wearing a red ‘Pallet Suit’ which wields a great, hidden power. Before long, allies gather around her to fight. And their friendship becomes the only hope for saving the world!”

Our winter announcements aren't over yet, so keep your eyes glued to Crunchyroll for more!

CR dominating winter 2013 season confirmed lol

I'll watch Vividred Operation, seems interesting
and 2 more announcements today, can't wait

Looks good XD

Crunchyroll got all the shows I wanted, dont know what else to even expect, lol

I was hoping you pick up Vividred Operation I love Crunchyroll ^_^

I was very surprised Funi didn't grab this one. It's actually making me wonder what there is left for them to pick up? But regardless I'm happy as I had wanted to watch this

Amazed, great job guys! Can't wait to see this in 1080p on Sunday night! Gonna watch this one on the plasma!

Two more? Go Crunchyroll!

Honestly there isn't much lol. I'm guessing they will get Tomodachi Season 2, but beyond that, maybe they won't pick up a lot this season.

In response to CR getting Vividred... well played, you've won the season.
