PERFECT!
2012 is out, 2013 is in, and all things considered, we had a hell of a year for both established franchises and new shows. It’s particularly hard for me to really drill down and pick favorites from this year’s draw, but since I’m in that end-of-the-year mode, let’s go into my list of shows, characters, stories, and more that I found great from this year in anime.

Well the new season is upon us, but unlike previous seasons I am not embracing it as hard as I could be. Summer is a tricky season for things real and imaginary.

But I got bored and blew through five shows last night, and another three today, and I still have a wait on the rest. So I downloaded the first episodes of five more shows, Acchi Kocchi, Hyouka, Mysterious Girlfriend X (Nazo no Kanojo X), Sakamichi no Apollon, and Space Brothers (Uchuu Kyoudai). Typically I wait until the end of the season and batch-watch stuff I didn’t include in my usual twelve-show season, but then I usually keep one or two shows on deck to replace anything I am looking to drop. In this case, these shows were worth keeping tabs on. I’m not sure if I care to rework my power ranking chart for it though.
