Top 10 Anime of 2011

Konbanwa~
following on from 2 days ago (so much for posting more frequently- ed), here's my view on what were the best show of the last 12 months. Only criteria are what I've watched to the end, and no sequels. This is a personal opinion, so don't bitch if your favourite show doesn't make the cut!

10) Mayo Chiki- Delicious reverse trap butler, perverted mistress and violent imouto.

9) Ymekui Merry- JC staff show do about a mysterious DFC and don't cast Rie Kugimiya shock! Good characters, pacing and action scenes.

8) A Channel- K-ON! clone without the music, Yuuko was a passable Mio substitute. Touru was cute.

7) Kore wa Zomie desu ka? Very funny, tongue in cheek romp. Added points for Ayumu's crossdressing, Haruna and Sera kissing.

6) Ana hana- *sob* Menmaaaa!

5) Yuru Yuri- Chinastu sexually assaulting Akarin was one of my highlights of the year

4) Usagi Drops- thoughtful, great visuals and realistic performances. Rin gets the prize for cutest loli of 2011.

3) Nichijou- some bits were abit forced but overall hilarious. Best scenes- Yuuko's test, Principle v deer, Mio's sketching

2) The Idolm@ster- great mix of slice of life, comedy and drama. Cast were all memorable and fun to watch,  though Iori, Miki and Yukiho have to be my favourites. Good music too. K-ON done as I'd have liked perhaps?

1) Puella Magi Madoka Majica- no contest really, original, thought provoking, genre reinventing and possible the next EVA or Haruhi in terms of impact. Great visuals, strong characters and not afraid to kill the cute cast.
