When it comes to the start of a new anime season, I tend to lean more towards the shows that I haven't heard about, rather than the ones I've read up on. Why is this?, well that's where you find diamonds in the rough, or end up following a show you knew nothing about. With this season, enter Otome Youkai Zakuro.
Zakuro tells the story of:
"It is the Meiji Era in a slightly alternate Japan, and the Gregorian calendar has just come into effect. The fox-eared girls living in the youkai part of town are about to be put to work together with a delegation of young human soldiers, to promote interracial understanding. So what will happen when Zakuro's strong personality collides with human sensibilities?"
Basically spirits like Zakuro are not welcome by most "normal humans", and you can guess that relationships develop between the three soldiers and their partners. The show,animated by JC Staff, has a female director in Chiaki Kon. Zakuro is definitely worth a watch this season, and followed up by a running manga.
