My problem isn't the drama itself, it's the fact that they decided to suddenly add it all of the sudden. If it would have started that way, it would have been understandable. Imma throw out there, I thought Minorin was a great character, but they didn't even explain her personality. She just suddenly turns into a bitch overnight. I understand the whole Tora's dad thing, but sweet Jesus, it was so overdone.

I've only started watching ongoings from 2nd half of the year, so I'm not at all objective, but for me top 3 in this order are:

1. Bakemonogatari
2. FMA: Brotherhood
3. Aoi Bungaku Series

Uh yea they did, the reason she got bitchy was because she was torn between her feelings and being a good friend, and on top of that Ami was constantly calling her on her bullshit. It wasn't overdone, they actually all acted quite accordingly, you obviously didn't understand half of it.

hmm...gotta say Eve no Jikan, I just luv that one.
Bakemonogatari was a really good one even tho it turned out to be really different that I had thought it would be.
Higashi no Eden. I really liked that one too. Can't wait for the movies.
Aoi Bungaku.."Run Melos" arc was awesome just like the first arc "No Longer Human". and I luved the other arcs too.^^
Summer Wars was a good movie.
FMA Brotherhood..Lovin that one. Never was a big fan of the first FMA anime series but this one is great.^^
and almost forgot Darker Than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini
...I wonder if I forgot anythin else..
Well can't wait for next year and new anime series..there's a lot of series I want to see ^^

2009 was kind of a "meh" year for me in terms of the anime I watched, but the ones that really stood out for me were Axis Powers Hetalia, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and a little independent anime called Fumiko's Confession. You know something is being said about the Japanese anime industry when one of your favorite anime of the year is a two-minute amateur short posted on YouTube.

To be less aggravating than Jigero, I would like to support that the drama was always there for Toradora. It wasn't sudden. I never thought of the show as comedy before drama. It was never that funny to me and more melancholy and sad to begin with. They all had their problems when they were introduced: Taiga lives alone. Ryuuji doesn't have a father. Minorin is too cheery to not have a more emotional side. Ami is... well, very thoroughly introduced.

I agree, although sudden scenes of rage with twisted faces came kinda out of nowhere.

..... #1 Trapeze.

2009 really sucked hard.

Other stuff worth watching:
2. Bakemonogatari
3. Full Metal Alchemist
4. Kimi ni Todoke
...
..
5. Ristorante Paradiso (I gave this 6/10 so really, this season sucked that hard)

AWESOME CHILDREN'S ANIME
1. Cheburashka Arere?
2. Higepiyo
3. Mainichi Kaa-san (kid's show or show for 30 year old moms? Not sure but fuck it)
4. Ukkari Penelope

Forgot to finish/forgot to move to dropped list:
Aoi Bungaku - eventually.
Shangri-La - Might just drop this..
Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen - So long but I think it has the possibility of being amusing
Sengoku BASARA - Maybe one day.
Kobato - sux, will drop some time..

Let downs/shit sux:
Higashi no Eden - Wasn't bad, but fell short of everything I wanted. :<
Haruhi S2 - Watched endless 8 then forgot to keep watching...
D2B S2 - I hate lolis in my DtB.
Umineko - I liked Higurashi but this shit sucked so hard.

So bad it was almost good?
KAMPFER - <3 SO BAD
Yumeiro Patissiere - IDK WHY

Officially Dropped?
Saki - disgrace to Mahjong.. too many boobs
Nyan Koi - Yeah, sux.

Best show that was airing in 2009: Casshern Sins. But that doesn't really count.

Best show that started airing in 2009: Bakemonogatari. I guess. Or Eden of the East.

Best show that started and finished in 2009: Eden of the East. Was a let down how it turned out.

I gotta say that Needless was one of the top new animes I've watched this year. It's combination of Action and Ecchi was perfect. What's best is they barely intermingled them. When there was action, then they were serious, when there was ecchi, they were serious, XD.

Bakemonogatari was also a good one, but I didn't want to say what EVERYONE was saying. Same goes for Clannad After Story. Besides, from what I've read on this forum is that most of you guys have these HUGE expectations of anime and can't simply enjoy something that's funny or lacking in one area. Stuff like "Oh no! 11eyes has an imcomplete story! Fuck it, 4." or "K-ON has moe, so I'll hate it only if other people say they hate it first."

Started in 08 but ended in 09 period:

Anime
Clannad After Story
Skip Beat
Gundam 00 Second Season
Toradora

2009:
Bakemonogatari
Spice and Wolf II
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom

Ongoing to 2010:
Cross Game
Kimi Ni Todoke
Kemono Souja

OVA : Eve No Jikan

Movie: Kara no Kyoukai 7: Satsujin Kousatsu, Summer Wars

There's far more than these of course, but if I were forced to compare, I would have to say AS, KnK and EnJ. There's much more good anime released this year, but this is what I can remember of the top of my head.
