You know a blog is dead when the previous years’ top 10s share the page with the current years’ top 10. However this won’t stop anyone from making a top 10 anyway. No one should care! I don’t and neither should you!

As usual, the rules to this top 10 are simple:

• The show FINISHED in 2013
• The show is not a movie or OVA
• Second Seasons or whatever are fair game for this list
• Then why isn’t railgun S2 on this list
• Or Chihayafuru S2
• …Dammit
• Whatever, just write something at the end about how good Monogatari S2 is
• Deal. No season 2s.

This means that shows like Kill La Kill won’t be on here. The lack of Attack on Titan is not a mistake, though.

No, we’re not going to marathon Pretty Cure: All Stars, the Eureka 7 movie, and M.D. Geist (although if you were going to kill yourself, I can think of no more effective way).  Instead, we’re celebrating having survived the Mayan Apocalypse with the 5 greatest anime of 2012.  Why only 5?  Because writing a Top 10 for 2012 would only distinguish the decent anime from the rest of the dirt.  This list forces us to think about which anime will still rattle in our brains after 2012, when a new wave of anime and video games further degrades our ADD-riddled minds.  So, for now, set aside your thoughts of impending doom, and settle in for a defense of this year’s most memorable series.

Last day of the year? Sounds like a fine time for the club president to write up a Top 10 list for anime!

Luckily for me I only watched about 15 shows this year, which made putting together the list pretty easy. I’m also limiting listees to shows that finished in 2012, which means I’ll have an “Honorable Mentions”/”Continuing” list at the end of this post.

Hey all, Steve here.  For the freshmen who don’t know me, it’s because I haven’t been at anime club this semester, being wrapped up instead captaining the CSM eSports DotA team.  Rest assured, however, that I have been keeping up with anime this year.  Gene has been harassing me for the past week to post my top 10 anime of 2012.  So I though I would oblige him.

(Warning, superfluous vulgarity to follow)

Hello!

Many of you probably don’t know me, but I’m a friend of Gene and Steve’s, and have met many members of the club. A few days ago, Gene asked me to write a list of my favorite anime this year, and when I had nowhere to post it, I was asked to come here instead. I’ll refrain from adding a bunch of information that nobody cares about relating to myself, and just get right into this.
