17. Moshidora
Spring
I honestly don't remember that much about this for some reason, I just know I liked it. First of all it was about baseball which is pretty much the most American sport there is besides pro wrestling. More importantly, there were manly speeches and broments. I like a good sports series and it's obviously good enough to be the seventeenth objectively best anime of 2011.
16. Shinryaku Ika Musume 2
Fall
I'm not sure if it was because I watched so many bad shows last fall or maybe some of the jokes just got tired, but I liked this season a bit less than the first one. For instance, Sanae was my favorite character of the first season and she just wasn't funny in this one. What the shell? They really inked up with her. Oh well, Ika and Chizuru were still good. Worst of all though... what the squid at the OP. S1's OP was awesome and I literally can't even remember what this one goes like.
15. Working!!
Fall
I liked this season quite a lot more than the first. Well, the main reason I didn't like the first was Inami. She wasn't in this one as much and she was less bad. Otherwise, solid comedy all around. Even Inami was involved in some funny scenes. Oh yeah, like Ika Musume what the hell is that OP. The first OP was probably the best from last year and this one yikes. Probably the biggest disappointment since the BroAndChar and The Mac Militant Anime Awards Extravaganza being canceled.
14. Baka Test 2
Summer
Countie comedy sequels. For the most part, it was as good as S1. But then the last few episodes happened which had a lot of dumb romantic drama. I mean no one gives a **** about any pairings in this series besides Yuuji x Shouko and they're already like engaged anyway. But yeah, some pretty hilarious stuff. The beach scene with Hideyoshi might have been my favorite scene in the whole series.
13. Mirai Nikki
Fall
In vintage fashion, I didn't really like the manga but I've enjoyed the anime so far. I'm not in love with it or anything but I'm pretty sure they've done a great job with the adaptation. The plot is pretty silly and it's only going to get more so but Yuno and Minene are awesome. The series kind of reminds me of an entertaining action movie with a silly plot except there is a severe lack of cheesy one liners in this. *drops it to the bottom of the list*
12. Hanasaku Iroha
Spring
This show had much potential at the beginning. The first episode is one of my favorites ever. It just had an amazing tone and it was really relatable. It stays good through the rest of it but it never lived up to the potential the first episode held. The main problem was probably Ohana's character. She acted serious or comedic totally depending on the scene. Augh. Not to go swordz9 but there were also a bunch of funny awkward fanservice scenes. Like the characters would be discussing serious stuff in the middle of taking a bath. It wasn't really even fanservice since it didn't show anything at all, I guess the creators just thought the characters being naked was pivotal to the scenes.
11. Kimi to Broku
Fall
Unlike Hanasaku, I'm pretty sure this lived up to its potential as much as it could have. The beginning was kind of boring but who knew that 12 episodes later there would be a new student who was actually a dude and a total bro and that Kaname aka darkmac would be banging his kindergarten teacher. Plus, there was literally an episode about Shun's brother asking everyone about doujins. It's a shame about all the sexists not being able to look past the main characters being guys instead of girls who act like they're in preschool.
