Official Website: HereThe 6-part anime films Broken Blade / Break Blade are adapted by Production I.G and studio Xebec, based on Yunosuke Yoshinaga's fantasy-mecha manga.

Nevertheless, he's pretty well connected. The King and Queen of his country of Krisna happen to be old college friends. But so is Zess, the guy who is leading the army of a neighboring kingdom in an attack on Krisna. How did it comes to this? There's little time to ponder the implications as an army in giant, mechanized battle suits attacks. Arrow just feels like he's in the way - until he comes across a powerful, ancient mech that no one has yet to be able to figure out how to run. But his natural affinity for the suit's operating mechanism may just turn Arrow into the most important player of all.

God bless and thanks for the updates.
Btw, shouldn't Houkago no Pleiades be on this list too? :)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Macross Frontier: Sayonara no Tsubasa and Durarara!! 25 so much! *____* I hope the new songs in Sayonara no Tsubasa are better than the ones in Itsuwari no Utahime -.-' InoU's songs were so disappointing coming after the great songs from the main anime run.
There is another ONA series like Houkago no Pleiades that is "Cat Shit One" that is going to be release on 5th of February at North America.
I will update this list once I come back from my vacation~ (6th of February)
and thanks for telling me, sala =)
