Happy New Year everyone!
This post is very late because, well, I had a awful start to my Christmas vacation–caught a fever and have been feeling sluggish ever since. Haven’t done much and the result is delay in the things I wanted to do. Adding to the delay was my purchase of a new monitor that led to rewatches and viewings galore…
Anyway, I have got to say that 2011’s crop was better as a whole than 2010’s. The top 5 contenders each have the quality to be considered the best show of the year 2011 for me. To illustrate the close fight, the five categories that I used to compare the shows (namely Characters/Entertainment Value/Story-Plot-Ending/Music/Animation) were divided among 4 of the top 6 shows. The 2 shows that didn’t get a first place ranking had 2 second-place rankings each.
My viewing has picked up a bit over 2010’s 14 shows. Maybe because as I said earlier, the quality of the shows for 2011 was actually better than 2010’s. Am I watching more because of this? Hehehe. For 2011 I’m supposed to be ranking 19 shows, but Fate/Zero, Last Exile – Ginyoku no Fam, and Chihayafuru are still far from finished. So I have decided to bump these 3 to 2012, saving me a few moments of deliberation with the 2011 ranking. Hunter x Hunter is also unfinished, and I doubt if I really can complete it. With these unfinished shows the ranking process would’ve been tougher. 🙂
I have also decided to exclude movies except for Break Blade. If I did not, well, Sayonara no Tsubasa would have been this list’s best anime–blowing away the competition hahaha…
