guess i'll continue with 3 more.
7) Carnival Phantasm
the superior TYPE MOON production.
it's borderline random with what they do but it helped turn F/S Caster from random who cares character to hell yeah Caster. any show that does that has my respect. Taiga Dojo in full color, with full motion? Phantasmoon? Ruby? conversations between Shirou and Shiki as they try to decide how they're going to cram the roots into one before realizing it's impossible? just all around hilarious show, especially if you're a fan of the material, because it all will make sense. except for how BA SA KA can do shopping. i'm not sure how that works out, but the outcome seemed pretty spot on. i would also play the hell out of that 8 bit game they had in it. best character of show is a hard one due to the way it's done. overall, it's gotta be Arc or Taiga. hail Taiga.

6) Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
i'm a sucker for good themes and this ending theme was probably the 2nd best behind Bakuman Season 2. but otherwise i really, really dug the art style. Boku Tomo wasn't quite with the same feeling as this one art-wise, it just really stood out in this kind of series. the lead here was pretty nice, and it's always interesting to see the main character establish a point system for how his routes are going in real life. good times.
also, one hell of a MILF. best character this show is hard to tell too because really, they're all pretty damn good. Makoto's a relatable lead and has a set of balls to him. Ryushi is entertaining as hell all throughout. Maekawa's outfits are something else. Erio kinda sucks at first but eventually is more entertaining (plus she's the hottest character). Meme's flirty nature despite her age leads to hilarious situations, ditto for her blackmailing ability. would say she's the 2nd best of the show, with the top going to Makoto. a good lead is good, though it's close. otherwise just overall an easy show to relax and enjoy. no major drama to worry about like others have it, nice pacing, and fun.
5) Baka and Test
awesome show. if we're talking about likable casts, Baka and Test is the 2nd best this year. this season we got some more serious situations come up between Manami and Akihasa, a better look to who Yuji is and his relationship with Shouko, and there was more crossdressing. best character is Yuji this season, not Akihase, and that's in large part because Yuji's character is a lot more interesting really. while Akihase's entertainingly dumb, Yuji's strategically stupid. it's an odd mix, but hey. Minami was pretty great this year too, and yandere Mizuki is delicious. one of the best comedies this year and some really interesting stories to go with it. definite must watch.
