Dengeki readers continue their dubious efforts at punditry by listing the most likely anime of the coming summer season, and what they fancy as the best of the passing spring.
Notably, the ranking reveals Angel Beats has unseated even K-ON!, possibly suggesting even the previously unassailable heights of moeblob anime may be under siege by anime daring to include actual plot.
The best of spring, with the ranking the title secured in the previous anticipation ranking in parentheses:
1. Angel Beats! (2)
2. K-ON!! (1)
3. Working!! (3)
4. Ookiku Furikabutte (6)
5. Durarara!! (-)
6. Arakawa Under The Bridge (4)
7. The Tatami Galaxy (18)
8. Ichiban Ushiro no Dai-Maoh (17)
9. Mayoineko Overrun (5)
10. Kaicho wa Meido-sama (20)
The most anticipated of summer:
1. Strike Witches 2
2. Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi
3. Sengoku Basara 2
4. Nurarihyon no Mago
5. Amagami SS
6. Digimon Xros Wars
7. Sekirei Pure Engagement
8. Kutoshitsuji II
9. Seitokai Yakuin-domo
10. Shiki
Ookami-san to shichinin no nakama-tachi first ep was interesting and Im certainly expecting more of it… But after watching Sekirei 1 I can’t believe it would be 7…. it doesn’t even deserves to be 10, nuf said..
On the topic of the best of spring I certainly agree with Angel Beats spot on the list, I know there were many plot holes in the series, but even with that the emotional touch and comedy moments made it for me; and besides of that there is explanation for most of the holes; Only if the anime would have been 26 ep or so… Anyways it’s still better than K-ON, don’t misunderstand me, I liked K-ON too, but the plot wasn’t as interesting or any deep for me and I always take some points off for moe and fanservice usage..
And like everyone else pointed out..
No HotD = List Fail.
I’m anticipating Panty and Stocking With Garter Belt.
No High School of the Dead?
I am disappoint
No Five Leaves. Japan confirmed for s♥♥t tastes.
Strike Witches 2 as number 1 yet no Highschool of the Dead or Cat s♥♥t One. Then they wonder why everyone thinks all Japanese are pedophiles.
Cat s♥♥t one finally has a release date? I’ve been waiting so long for that.
