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.

Happy new year!
Konbanwa~
Hope you all had a good new year's eve. My new years resolution is to to actually do some blogging in 2012, as opposed to the half dozen posts I put up in 2011.
Overall the past year has been a vintage one for anime IMO, and looking ahead there are already a few shows am looking forward to in the upcoming season. In particular:
Amagami S2- hopefully as each heroine's arc is supposed to be a direct sequel will be a bit like Clannad after story
Kill me baby- ultra-violence is always funny!
Mouretsu Pirates- could be a cute anime (space) version of the Pirates of the Caribbean, or a train wreak,
Ano Natsu de Matteru- JC staff comedies are always worth checking out,
Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!- a comedy version of usagi drops? At first I thought was a messed up concept as it was implied the male lead was the girls actual father (which would be unlikely as he's 19 and the oldest is 12 to 14). However as it is has been made clearer that he is just a relative it could be good.
I will def check this shows out, and probably tweet first impressions. Here's hoping for a good 2012 ^^

Wierd dream
So I had this dream last night, was a bit... special (usually don't remember much but this one stuck in my head).
It started with me visiting the Shard of Glass construction site, and going to the top. Had to walk part of the way then got a ski-lift the rest. At the top it turned out that it was actually level with a cliff and could step between, and people were saying how convenient was going to be to be able to take the lift down to get to central London rather than take the train. After looking in the visitor centre we stepped out onto a viewing platform to find that London had suddenly been flooded, and this was the only point above the water.
The waters receded to show buildings knocked over as if were cardboard boxes. Next bit is hazy, but was going to be a party back at the top of the Shard to celebrate our survival, and I had to drive up there this time (the inside was like a multi-story car park).
When I got to the top London had flooded again, and this time the water wasn't going to go away. We were working out how were going to survive when I woke up.
Am sure there are some deep meanings to this!
