Anime of the Year 2012-I Winter - Nisemonogatari

Not a single title that I deem worthy. If I needed to choose from the rest, it'd probably be Nisemonogatari .   1. Another アナザー [P.A. Works] (Finished 12/12) Tags: Gore, School Horror, Mystery, Supernatural In class 3-3 of Yomiyama North Junior High, transfer student Kouichi Sakakibara makes his return after taking a sick leave for the first month of sch

Anime of the Year 2011-IV Fall - Bakuman. 2nd Season

I was even ready to rate Bakuman. 2nd Season lower if there was at least some other firm masterpiece in my opinion, but, alas. Another borderline masterpiece that I enjoy is Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai . Decided to finally drop all those childish Digimons and Battle Spirits and the like as I don't like their openings anyway.   1. Hunter x Hunter (2011) HUNTER×HUNTER(ハンター×ハンター)  [Madhouse] (Finished 1/148)

Anime of the Year 2011-III Summer - Usagi Drop

Usagi Drop is the definite favorite here. But I also find Yuru Yuri enjoyable enough.   1. Usagi Drop  Bunny Drop うさぎドロップ [Production I.G] (Finished 11/11) Tags: Josei Childcare, Iyashikei Slice of Life Daikichi Kawachi is a 30-year-old bachelor working a respectable job but otherwise wandering aimlessly through life.

Anime of the Year 2011-II Spring - Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is sort of must have anime to watch once. Other firm masterpieces this season include Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. and Tiger & Bunny . Hanasaku Iroha gets a honorary masterpiece which is a high score for a rural SOL anime.    1. Steins;Gate   [White Fox] (Finished 24/24) Tags: Psychological, Time Travel Drama, Sci-F

Anime of the Year 2010-IV Fall - Bakuman.

Anime in its prime. Bakuman. is inspirational and perfect. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt are firm enjoyable masterpieces.  And Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai is also memorable enough to have a honorary title.   1. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai OreImo 俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない  [AIC Build] (Finished 12/12) Tags: Otaku Culture Comedy

Anime of the Year 2010-III Summer - Highschool of the Dead

I value Highschool of the Dead as a firm masterpiece and Amagami SS as honorary masterpiece.   1. Highschool of the Dead 学園黙示録 HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD [Madhouse] (Finished 12/12) Tags: Shounen Gore, Survival Action, Horror, Supernatural, Ecchi It happened suddenly: The dead began to rise and Japan was thrown into total chaos.

Anime of the Year 2010-II Spring - Working!!

Several borderline masterpieces spotted - Kaichou wa Maid-sama! , Working!! and Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail with Working!! taking a tender place in my heart.   1. Angel Beats! Angel Beats!(エンジェルビーツ!)  [P.A. Works] (Finished 13/13) Tags: School Drama, Supernatural Death is one of many mysteries that has left humanity in the dark since the dawn of

Anime of the Year 2009-IV Fall - Ibara no Ou

It happens so that only Sunrise movie Ibara no Ou was more or less curious for me.   1. Fairy Tail FAIRY TAIL(フェアリーテイル)  [Satelight, A-1 Pictures] (Finished 3/175) Tags: Shounen Action, Adventure, Fantasy  In the enchanted Kingdom of Fiore, the lively Lucy Heartfilia has one wish: to join the renowned Fairy Tail—one of the many magical wizard guilds scat

Anime of the Year 2009-II Spring - Souten Kouro

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009) and Souten Kouro are my favorites in Spring 2009. K-On! and Shangri-La are following slightly behind.   1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST [Bones] (Finished 1/64) Tags: Shounen Military Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy After a horrific alchemy experiment goes wrong in the Elric household, bro

Anime of the Year 2009-I Winter - Druaga no Tou: The Sword of Uruk

Sequel Druaga no Tou: The Sword of Uruk is the only contestant this small season.   1. Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger はじめの一歩 新シリーズ [Madhouse] (Finished 1/26) Tags: Shounen Combat Sports Japanese Featherweight Champion Ippo Makunouchi has successfully defended and retained his title. Meanwhile, his rival, Ichirou Miyata, has resurfaced in Ja

Anime of the Year 2008-IV Fall - Toradora!

Toradora! is the queeen of tsundere and a great anime, but Tentai Senshi Sunred is one of the best parody comedies out there despite seemingly low popularity.    1. Toradora! とらドラ!  [J.C.Staff] (Finished 25/25) Tags: Love Polygon, School Drama, Romance Ryuuji Takasu is a gentle high school student with a love for housework; but in

Anime of the Year 2008-III Summer - Detroit Metal City

I enjoyed both Detroit Metal City and Lucky☆Star: Original na Visual to Animation this season, but original work wins, as usual .    1. Natsume Yuujinchou Natsume's Book of Friends 夏目友人帳 [Brain's Base] (Finished 3/13) Tags: Shoujo Drama, Slice of Life, Supernatural Iyashikei, Mythology Due to an unusual ability to see strange creatures called youkai, Tak

Anime of the Year 2008-II Spring - Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk

Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk is a great inspiring fantasy . Also found Kure-nai enjoyable.    1. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ 続編  [Sunrise] (Finished 25/25) Tags: Mecha, Military, Super Power Action, Award Winning, Drama, Sci-Fi One year has passed since the Black

Anime of the Year 2007-IV Fall - Minami-ke

Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor , Minami-ke and Genshiken 2 are all considered minor masterpieces by me, but two of them had some representation earlier, so only Minami-ke is fresh new.    1. Clannad [Kyoto Animation] (Finished 23/23) Tags: School Drama, Romance, Supernatural  Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll

Anime of the Year 2007-III Summer - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei , Stranger: Mukou Hadan and Piano no Mori all got minor masterpiece scores from me. Don't want to choose, so series wins over movies.   1. Baccano! バッカーノ! [Brain's Base] (Finished 13/13) Tags: Historical, Organized Crime Action, Comedy, Mystery, Supernatural During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying

Anime of the Year 2007-II Spring - Lucky☆Star

I was going to never rate comedies highly, but Lucky☆Star is more than a comedy, it's a meta-comedy and is enjoyable on many layers. Claymore is only slightly behind. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Bokura no definitely deserve a mention, but these are more flawed works.   1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Gurren Lagann 天元突破グレンラガン [Gainax] (Finished 27/27) Tags: Mecha Action, Adventure, Aw

Anime of the Year 2007-I Winter - Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile is the only masterpiece in this short season   1. Naruto: Shippuuden Naruto Shippuden -ナルト- 疾風伝  [Pierrot] (Finished 1/500) Tags: Shounen Martial Arts Action, Adventure, Fantasy It has been two and a half years since Naruto Uzumaki left Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, for intense training following events which fueled his desire t

Anime of the Year 2006-II Spring - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu is revolutionary anime in several ways, so for me it has the upper hand over Black Lagoon which is also a great masterpiece, but in more mundane , complex and adult way. Lots of titles in Spring season, but I can't vouch for the rest.   1. Ouran Koukou Host Club Ouran High School Host Club 桜蘭高校ホスト部 [Bones] (Finished 1/26) Tags: Shoujo Crossdressing, Reverse
