Beginning of the year is slow on the uptake again. Only sequels like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next and Minami-ke interest me here.

Anime of the Year 2012-IV Fall - Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is the best shoujo comedy that I know. Since there is a firm masterpiece this time, can lower score of Bakuman. 3rd Season a bit to comply. There is also a number of honorary masterpieces - Psycho-Pass , Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! and Ixion Saga DT .
Anime of the Year 2012-III Summer - Kingdom
Kingdom and Sword Art Online are genius masterpieces for me with Kingdom being the more grittier one.
VN of the Month August 2023
Big companies seldom release titles in August as there's big competition from Comiket, so let's try to overview some of the prominent doujin games.
Anime of the Year 2012-II Spring - Jormungand
Jormungand happens to be my only favorite this season.
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 .
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.
Anime of the Year 2011-III Summer - Usagi Drop
Usagi Drop is the definite favorite here. But I also find Yuru Yuri enjoyable enough.
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.
Anime of the Year 2011-I Winter - Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica
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.
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
I value Highschool of the Dead as a firm masterpiece and Amagami SS as honorary masterpiece.
VN of the Month July 2023
Actual competition again, so can briefly forget about including all the minor fandiscs
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.
Anime of the Year 2010-I Winter - Hanamaru Youchien
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
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
Bakemonogatari is the only honorary masterpiece for me this season for the sheer impact and novelty of it.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
VN of the Month May 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
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
Ookami to Koushinryou is the only bright spot in this short season.
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.
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.
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.
Anime of the Year 2007-I Winter - Nodame Cantabile
Nodame Cantabile is the only masterpiece in this short season
Anime of the Year 2006-IV Fall - Death Note
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
