I think overall it was a rather strong season with a lot of shows that I wound up watching. Here is my Top 5. 1. Choujigen Game Neptune 2. Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu 3. Kiniro Mosaic 4. Monogatari Series Second Season 5. Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou Neptune was such a AAA title to me and I loved everything about it from the cast and artwork to the music and story. I want more episodes of this pronto! C3 was just an awesome show and I fell in love with it quickly. My only complaint is the few episodes that got too serious, but thankfully they brought it back to the fun in the end. Give me more episodes now as well! Kiniro Mosaic seriously surprised me as I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. To me this had the most talented seiyuu cast of the season and definitely the best bilingual cast of all-time imo. Story and characters were fun and the final episode was phenomenal. Monogatari S2 has had some pacing issues, but I am being drawn into each of the story arcs very well. It just further deepens my love of this series. The current Nadeko Arc is just great and I am enjoying it vastly. InuHasa I did not expect much from, but it was another great surprise. A fun story, great cast, and the writing kept me laughing the whole time. Such a unique show and it just kept making me smile. Honorable Mentions: Blood Lad - Best Comedic Action show hands down. Genshiken Nidaime - Nice continuation of Genshiken. Hato & Sue <3 High School DxD NEW - Pure ecchi comedic goodness and good continuation. The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc - Some missteps, but still a well done continuation. Gatchaman - Interesting take on the Gatchaverse and a fun watch. Rozen Maiden - Great art, seiyuu, and story. Does the manga proud. Later today Fall Anime 2013 starts with Miss Monochrome for me and I am looking forward to the upcoming shows. I redid my list a bit and I will be watching 14 shows at first before culling some of them that I am iffy on. =) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bear "replicant" Powell "Be resolute, fear no sacrifice, and surmount every difficulty to win victory." - Chairman Mao Currently Playing: WildStar (CBT), The Elder Scrolls Online (CBT) Favorite Xbox 360 Games: Skate 3, VF5FS, Injustice, GTA V Favorite PC Game: Shadowrun Returns
