Renewed by a false innocence, a false past, and now the false life Shell has given her, Ballot feels grateful. However, she can't help but be curious about why he's done so much for her, so she does some research about his past on a computer. This turns out to be a mistake which will change her life greatly. When Shell finds out what she's done, he attempts to burn her to death by blowing up her car.
Due to the high crime rate in Mardock, a new law called “Scramble 09” has given police carte blanche to take extreme and otherwise illegal measures to revive crime witnesses. With this in mind, they allow a professor to bring Ballot back from the brink of death by reassembling her entire body with reinforced synthetic fiber. When she finally wakes up, her confused mental state eventually turns toward revenge as Shell is revealed as her killer.
Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion is the second part of the three part Mardock Scramble series.

But the one that caught my eye the most was the Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion trailer. Hopefully a fansub group will take it under their wing. I'll go read the manga, if its scanlated. I don't understand Japanese >_<
The series, such as:
1. Prince of Tennis,
2. Kiss Dum: Engage Planet,
3. Kimi ni Todoke,
4. The World God Only Knows,
5. Battle Spirits Heroes
I will definitely read the mangas to see why it was loved enough to be adapted to anime. Hopefully all of the manga series for the animes listed were scanlated...xD
I think 'Jmanga.com' has some of the manga counterparts in their collection...
Thanks for the anime shoutout! September is going to be a great month!
Hotarubi no Mori e
seems far better than other series . lets see how they work out .
Kimi ni Todoke is a great romance manga, it deserves its popularity.
I highly recommend it.
@rajin
I'm really interested in Hotarubi too..I wonder if there's horror too.
@warrior
I added your video link along with the one posted, this way people interested
can check out both of it and know more about episode 1 too.
Your help is appreciated and I'm sorry for not posting it the first time.
Hotarubi no Mori e is rather interesting. I think I'm going to check it once it's out.
Thanks for the great news, Zelx! :D
I'd say I'm looking forward to the PoT and my goddess releases.
