    Tokyo Ghoul manga is awesome and i've rarely gotten decent horror anime in recent years. Definitely my top pick for next summer.

    Will definitely watch Sword Art Online 2nd season, if only to see how much humorous drama this series can bring back compared to 1st season.

    Still unsure about Hanayamata, but i'll still give it a chance anyway

    Cool...
    5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
    1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
    2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
    3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
    4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
    5. Is it actually good?

    Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

    I wonder what the production committee was thinking when they green lit Momo Kyun Sword...I hope it was something more complex than hot girl+folk tale=profit...as much as I like hot girls that seems overly simplistic.
