Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle will have anime

Sunrise studios announced that this story will have an anime adaptation for fall 2011 that will consist of 25 episodes and it will air on NHK-Educational channel.

It is the story of Kaito, a puzzle-loving freshman at the private high school named "Root Academy." He is selected as a candidate for "Phi Brain" for his extraordinary mental skills. One day, he and his childhod friend Nonoha tackle the "unsolvable puzzle" hidden in the underground ruins near the school.

The anime is being directed by Junichi Sato (Tamayura) and the scripts are being developed by Mayori Sekijima (Saber Marionette J).

Moshidora Business will get an anime adaptation!

This light novel by Natsumi Iwasaki is about a high school girl named Minami Kawashima, who is the team manager of the baseball team of her school.

When looking for inspiration and ideas for a better performance in the game, Minami accidentally buys Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices, the classic productivity guide by the Austrian-American management guru Peter Drucker, and uses it to rally her dispirited team. Thus the fun ensues.

Channel NHK will launch a 10 episode anime adaptation that will be aimed to women and men in their 30s and 40s. It's also been three years since this channel aired an anime in its night programming block.

There's even a preview from the official website of this upcoming new series:
