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

August 24, 2023
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.

Anime of the Year 2011-III Summer - Usagi Drop

August 22, 2023
Usagi Drop is the definite favorite here. But I also find Yuru Yuri enjoyable enough.

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

August 21, 2023
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. 

Anime of the Year 2011-I Winter - Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica

August 16, 2023
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica made a great impression on me, and Fractale is one little serious fantasy that did not age well, but is still pleasurable.

Anime of the Year 2010-IV Fall - Bakuman.

August 08, 2023
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.

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

August 05, 2023
I value Highschool of the Dead as a firm masterpiece and Amagami SS as honorary masterpiece.

VN of the Month July 2023

July 31, 2023
Actual competition again, so can briefly forget about including all the minor fandiscs

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

July 30, 2023
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.

Anime of the Year 2010-I Winter - Hanamaru Youchien

July 21, 2023
No big titles again, but among minor masterpieces I'd call Hanamaru Youchien and Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu

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

July 11, 2023
It happens so that only Sunrise movie Ibara no Ou was more or less curious for me.

Anime of the Year 2009-III Summer - Bakemonogatari

July 07, 2023
Bakemonogatari is the only honorary masterpiece for me this season for the sheer impact and novelty of it. 

VN of the Month June 2023

July 02, 2023
Might as well rename the whole thing into Fandisc of the Month

Anime of the Year 2009-II Spring - Souten Kouro

June 29, 2023
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009) and Souten Kouro are my favorites in Spring 2009. K-On! and Shangri-La are following slightly behind.

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

June 21, 2023
Sequel Druaga no Tou: The Sword of Uruk is the only contestant this small season.

Anime of the Year 2008-IV Fall - Toradora!

June 13, 2023
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. 

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

June 05, 2023
I enjoyed both Detroit Metal City and Lucky☆Star: Original na Visual to Animation this season, but original work wins, as usual . 

VN of the Month May 2023

May 31, 2023
Had serious doubts about including Vtuber games, but let's do it for volume. It's hard to call any visual novel a normal one this month.

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

May 28, 2023
Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk is a great inspiring fantasy . Also found Kure-nai enjoyable. 

Anime of the Year 2008-I Winter - Ookami to Koushinryou

May 23, 2023
Ookami to Koushinryou is the only bright spot in this short season.

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

May 21, 2023
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. 

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

May 17, 2023
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.

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

May 13, 2023
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.

Anime of the Year 2007-I Winter - Nodame Cantabile

May 05, 2023
Nodame Cantabile is the only masterpiece in this short season

Anime of the Year 2006-IV Fall - Death Note

May 03, 2023
Death Note as new title takes the upper hand over sequel Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage . But I can also name a number of minor masterpieces - Hataraki Man , Genshiken OVA , Paprika

VN of the Month April 2023

April 30, 2023
I bet remaining companies coordinate release windows to issue exactly one conventional visual novel each month without any competition

Anime of the Year 2006-III Summer - NHK ni Youkoso!

April 26, 2023

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

April 21, 2023
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.

Anime of the Year 2006-I Winter - Ergo Proxy

April 13, 2023
Ergo Proxy is my favorite anime of the past which is still a full head ahead of most anime, though I see its imperfection nowadays. I also see Fate/stay night and Hellsing Ultimate as minor masterpieces deserving a mention. 

Anime of the Year 2005-IV Fall - Shakugan no Shana

April 10, 2023
Shakugan no Shana deserves a honorary mention.

Anime of the Year 2005-III Summer - Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man

April 03, 2023
Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man is inevitably the winner, but for a change there two more small masterpieces - Ichigo Mashimaro and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
