What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

[Seto Kaiba]

OK, there's more talent in this season than I expected... which is a nice surprise.

Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms is an amusing little romcom that feels a little bit Alto x Sheryl from early Macross Frontier and a little bit B Gata H Kei.  The series is all about a very spoiled/self-centered girl named Mona Kawai who is used to everyone fawning over her because she's just that pretty.  She's going absolutely spare because the new transfer student Medaka not only doesn't fawn over her, but seemingly won't even give her the time of day.  So she sets out on a quest to make Medaka fall for her no matter what, becuase her ego absolutely cannot stand not being adored.

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons is a real bait-and-switch.  It starts out with a young noble girl's gloomy daily life being groomed to be the future queen after her marriage to the local prince is arranged.  When he rocks up to the ball with another girl, she becomes a completely different person.  It changes gears in a way that is basically the opposite of what I expected given the tone, and completely surprised me.  I am genuinely curious to see where this one goes, because it's already effectively suckered me once about its tone and direction.
