Winter 2011 2012 Anime Line-up Another season is over already. Time sure flies, eh? [url=http://minus.com/lx7XnXx9JlA56]Winter 2011/2012[/url] anime line-up, version 1. What I'll be watching: >Black Rock Shooter adaption >Kyousogiga >Natsume Yuujinchou Shi >Steins;Gate special >Tora Dora BD OVA >Continuation of Carnival Phantasm >Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi x Legend of the Legendary Heroes Crossover OVA Considering this is only version 1 [and more will be added to the list], I'd say that 2011 will finish off fairly strong.
So, the winter 2011 anime season is over And I am truly disappointed. I have never watched so many terrible endings before in my life. Thank god the spring seasons have started.
Fall 2011 Anime Line-up [url=http://postimage.org/image/1k5rvx3ic/full/]link[/url] Looks more promising than the summer line-up by a large margin. It seems like this anime year will be pretty damn good.

The Laws of Anime So I was extremely bored today (it's raining even though it's June), I compiled the "100 Laws of Anime" ([url=http://www.cs.utah.edu/~duongsaa/more_htm/jk_100animeRules.htm]Insane Advocate, co.[/url] Apologies, I accidentally removed the url while I was editing the first time and set it back to the original post) with pictures for the luls. Half-way through I got tired and stopped linking stuff so if you have a pic that fits with the corresponding rule, link it to me. I also ended up throwing out a bunch of stuff due to the damn Basil filtering system; seriously, even the most random words are censored. [header]Let us begin.

Best and worst anime this season Hey Basil, let's rage or praise the animes we watched this season. Rate animes from 1-10 and if you want, give a small review. Remember that on a 1-10 scale: 1-3 is complete garbage, 4 is bad, 5 is meh, 6 is average, 7 is good, 8 is great, 9 is amazing, and 10 is god-tier. Here's the spring [url=http://ryuichiheike.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/20101230_spring2011.jpg]line-up[/url] for reference.
