Top 10 Shocking Anime Headlines of 2009

"6. Endless Eight repeated eight times, fans revolt"

You would have thought that'd be #8 ...

Is that a whacked out Coach Z from Homestar Runner?

"3. Evangelion gets yet another movie"

Is that really shocking? Gainax has been milking eva for a long time now and I wouldn't be surprised if there are 10 more retellings. =/

I don't know why people liked Bakemonogatari so much :)

I are confused about what seen.

Now who would've figured at the the time that Studio Shaft's work Bakemonogatari would crush KyoAni's K-On?

Answer: Haruhitardom's endless eight.

Gonzo being put out of its misery is that big a shock? They were on the downward slide for years.
But the Bakemonogatari v K-ON! result was a nice surprise, a witty, dialogue heavy show winning over moe. I hope this starts a new trend.
No one should be shocked about Eva, that thing is a bigger money spinner than Haruhi. I suspect Anno could continue "re-imagining" Eva and people will still watch.

hehe
saw those art at some episode of nyan koi

#6: Well DUH! If it was shown nine times, would it be called the Endless "EIGHT"?!

Personally I think "Koreans Baw Over Hetalia" was one of the biggest news headlines and am surprised to not see it on the list. Think what you will about Hetalia, but how many other anime have had their TV run cancelled because Korea got butthurt?

1. Oh..

2. Can't disagree with that, Bakemonogatari is indeed too awesome.

3. Mmm.. kay.

4. *Shrugs*

5. Reverse Lucky Star

6. Yet they're still to stubborn to boycott it?

7. Now that reminds I haven't finished watching it yet..

8. ROFL & LOL~

9. Tsk.. No more Neko Musume and Zambia-chan :<

10. Oh shi~ I think she was on crack..

kobayashi has that same brain injury as that guy in saya no uta has. she sees everything as random combinations of flesh and blood.

kobayashi has that same brain injury that guy had in Saya no Uta. resulting in her seeing everything as random lumps of flesh and blood.

GeGeGe no Kitaro was ended to make room for Dragon Ball Kai. Suddenly canned!? How?

i think this needs a "guro" tag for that last part.

Kobayashi is just similar to her characters. She portrays true maniacs.

Though I can make what is going there...not really surprised with a few of those. I rather like summer wars, will watch again when I have a chance.

Lol. Nice "art". I can't make out most of what is going on there...but I don't think i want to.

Another possible one to make the top 10 should have been Trigun the movie for 2010 announced. Shocking they are releasing it out of nowhere like that.

More shocking then Endless Eight being showed, is that people bought the DVDs.

eh her drawing of setsuna sakurazaki was better...

Heh. Kobayashi is classic. Especially in Nyan Koi.
Headlines are utmost true. I also love how Bakemonogatari beat K-on's sales.

2 shoulda been 1, 1 should been 3, and 6 should been 2

Kobayashi should draw art for all the shows she's a part of. I would love to see what she would draw for higurashi.

11. Bakemonogatari the best of the year

3. Evangelion gets yet another movie

Oh boy, what a "shocking surprise"....*eye rolls*

"Evangelion gets yet another movie"... in what way was this shocking?

For me, wat's shocking is the hesitation of mankind not to implement a dress code like the one pictured above

Every year, not seeing people in that type combat suit shocks me.
Well...I'm still waiting

The dude in the second pic has 'awesome face'

I'll need a few more drinks before I can start to understand those drawings.

Eh, they thought Gonzo cutting a bunch of employees was shocking? I could see that coming from a mile away.
