Anime Relations: Arakawa Under the Bridge

I will start this blog by looking at each year, listing what shows Ive seen and what I might missed out on and generally giving scores.

For simplicity I will only cover anime that started in 2010, so no FMAB, also HxH11 will only count for 2011, etc.

2010:

Notable: (scores 7-8)
- Arakawa Under the Bridge
- Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
- Shiki
- Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha Gaiden
- Angel Beats!
- Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi (+18 content)

Gems: (scores 9-10)
- Durarara!! [my pick for anime of the year]
- Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
- K-On!! (Second Season)
- Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (Tatami Galaxy)
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu (the Haruhi movie)
- Bakuman.


Might missed out on:
- Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
- Katanagatari
- Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (World God only knows)

2010 wasn't actually as void as I first thought!
It featured amazing sequels in the Haruhi movie and the 2nd K-On season and it had the first season of Durarara, which is definitely the best season of Durarara and also my pick for anime of 2010 with its amazing cast of characters and great setting.
Baka to Test is a personal pick of mine as comedy is subjective and its still my favourite comedy even after all these years.
Bakuman S1 is also a great show but gets way better in future seasons, still its one of my favourite "gambatte" anime and always motivated me to improve myself.
Lastly Tatami Galaxy also is an amazing show, really unique in its presentation and also perfect for rewatching.

Of the 3 anime I haven't seen yet, all of them would probably make it into the 'notable' list, however I dont think they could top any of my 'gems'.
