Have you ever been curious about about our staff? What they're like? What they like? Or hey, how about their taste in anime?
We've seen other clubs have staff collections, so we thought, why not us too?

Below, each staff member handpicked five (5) of their favorite anime along with five (5) they've been eagerly wanting to watch.

The officers had a great deal of fun making these collections (many laughs were had) and hope everyone has just as much while watching them!
Special thanks to SecretDinosaur for initially proposing the idea!
Now, without further adieu...
Welcome to our very own staff collections!

These collections are available in our Hall of Fame as a checklist that will help you complete it.
　— You will need to have turned-in at least once (any challenge) to appear listed. Check if you are in the database here.

[X] Kingdom (38 eps)
I'm a fan of the manga source (it's one of the best war based I have read) so I was reluctant to watch the anime. I'm the type that doesn't enjoy as much a title if I have already seen it in a different medium... also the CG! BUT don't let this stop you from checking out the anime. It has a great story and awesome characters. You will either love or hate them. It's just so fulfilling that you won't regret it... or at least I hope so ;D
[X] Bounen no Xamdou (26 eps)
One of the first few I saw back then when I started watching anime consciously. I fell in love with it... the story, as expected, is interesting. It has lots of the military elements but it's also kinda balanced with the Sci-Fi it presents. If I remember correctly it has a bit of a slow and confusing start but it gets better later on.
[X] Kimi to Boku. (13 eps)
What can I say. This one is a school SoL of boys. Those guys are cute! And lovely. It's a warming anime. And the second season only gets better! I cried quite a bit with it.
[X] Hoozuki no Reitetsu (13 eps)
The comedy in this one is so good! But it might not be everyone cup of tea. mm I guess it can be called dark humor... It has demons and all that but it won't scare you =D I mean, those guys are love. Hope you get a great laugh out of it.
[X] Uchuu Show e Youkoso (Movie)
This was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this since it totally looks it's for kids, but it has so much on it! The animation is good, the music, the story itself! It was really amazing.

The following are series that I haven't been able to start yet, but I have been meaning to. Some are for other challenges xD but most are picked by an initial personal interest in them. To be honest I'm pretty sure there's at least one there I won't enjoy T_T but let's find out about it together, yes? ♥

[X] Giant Killing (26 eps)
[X] Ristorante Paradiso (11 eps)

Come for the epicness. Stay for the Kuwabara (or Yuusuke or Hiei or Kurama or Botan or whatever fan group).

Five wonderful shows that made me love them for various reasons. Some fluffy, calm and relaxing, others hilarious and silly and then some sad and bittersweet.

Join me as we travel through the years that I've been alive checking some of my favorite things. Since this is a collection about me. Now, on your left you'll see some of my favorite shows that I've watched since starting to watch anime.

[X] Medaka Box (12 eps)
2012; The main show that hooked me into anime, though I do prefer the second season and manga more.
[X] Grisaia no Kajitsu (13 eps)
2014; One of the first VN/Harem shows that I truly enjoyed, mostly due to the protagonist having a personality.
[X] Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (12 eps)
2015; Actual romance, from early in a show. Oh and action I guess.
[X] Demi-chan wa Kataritai (12 eps)
2017; Monster girls rule and this is one of the best.
[X] Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV) (13 eps)
2018; Sports anime with a lot of references to real life, and tons of effort put into the little details.

Now if you look to your right, you'll see some shows that I've been most excited to get to from years before I ever watched my first episode of Naruto. That I still haven't watched for some reason.
[X] Sakura Taisen (25 eps)
2000; Sakura Wars: So Long My Love was my first dating sim, ans still one of the best, because it was also a mecha fighting RPG too.
[X] Genshiken (12 eps)
2004; This looks pretty relatable and I've had multiple friends recommend it
[X] Ryuusei no Rockman (55 eps, short)
2006; I LOVE the Mega Man series, as you might have guessed from my username, pfp, etc., so I'm dragging you all along for the ride, for Starforce at least.
[X] Deltora Quest (65 eps)
2007; Did you know that Deltora is an acronym for- Sorry I've been told that's a spoiler for one of my favorite book series that I may have realized recently had an anime.
[X] Arad Senki: Slap Up Party (26 eps)
2009; Another great game of my youth, adapted to an anime. Hopefully I won't be disappointed, as I've played a ton of this one.

[X] California Crisis: Tsuigeki no Juuka (1 ep)
Road trips are the best. Sadly i live right by California. I could drive there today if i wanted to.
[X] Karakurizoushi Ayatsuri Sakon (26 eps)
This was such a great watch, just a simple supernatural tale of puppet and puppetmaster
[X] Fractale (11 eps)
Opinions are really divided on this show, but I think its great. Down by the salley gardens
[X] Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau (12 eps)
For when Rage_Beat needs to be Sad_Beat
[X] Shinreigari (22 eps)
Just such a weird show, let me know what you think. Got a nice jazzy theme

I'm hoping this is a more mature romance story than normal. Been needing to watch this.

Sentimental Grafitti doesnt have an anime, so we will watch this instead

This has been on my list for a while.

A childish comedy/romance that makes me think of better times

[X] Promare (Movie)
Throw Kill la Kill and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan in a blender, add colour and an awesome soundtrack, this is the result
[X] Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven (50 eps)
Eureka Seven is a bit of an oddity for me, I started out not liking it much but it grew on me until I cried at the ending...
[X] Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor (7 eps)
I love this OVA series... it's just... PATLABOR
[X] Giant Robo the Animation: Chikyuu ga Seishi Suru Hi (7 eps)
An unfinished epic on a grand scale, this is an underrated masterpiece
[X] Bubblegum Crisis (8 eps)
Between the 80s rock music and some awesome characters, this is a great watch
[X] Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex (26 eps)
I've been putting this one off for a while since I've been thinking it might be a bit too close to Psycho-Pass in content, but hopefully I can get around to this soon
[X] Macross (36 eps)
One of the most important space anime of all time and I still haven't seen it
[X] Planet With (12 eps)
It's a work by Satoshi Mizukami, creator of some of my favourite manga of all time

[X] Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi (11 eps)
What drew me in was the artstyle/colors. Despite having some pretty dark themes, Idaten became one of my favorite dumb fun/popcorn entertainment shows (with a great OP as well).
[X] Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu (12 eps)
Tsundere vampire girl. Fictional Russia. Is there a better combination? No, no there isn't.
[X] Princess Principal (12 eps)
I've always loved anything spy-related.
[X] Seikai no Monshou (13 eps)
A slow burn, but one that I couldn't stop watching. Great world building and characters. I generally don't gravitate towards older shows, but this is one I'm glad I found.
[X] Flag (13 eps)
Its interesting choice of POV storytelling and its very realistic tone are definitely different from most things I've seen.
[X] Puraore! Pride of Orange (12 eps)
Being my favorite sport, I pray that we can get more hockey anime at some point.
[X] Machikado Mazoku (12 eps)
Seems like a fun CGDCT from the clips I've seen.
[X] Summertime Render (25 eps)
I decided to wait till this was finished airing so that I could binge it, and then I forgot about it. I've managed to avoid spoilers and plan to get to this soon.
[X] Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File (50 eps)
I have very fond memories of playing the Professor Layton games on the Nintendo DS in the late 2000s/early 2010s. I had no idea that it was a Japanese franchise, nor that it had a pretty recent TV adaptation. While Professor Layton is just a supporting character, I still want to watch this for the nostalgia. And of course, HanaKana voicing a main character is always a plus.
[X] Maison Ikkoku (96 eps)
I'm a big fan of adult romance anime and it's got the same original creator as Urusei Yatsura, which I've enjoyed the remake of. I wanna get into more pre-2000s stuff and feel this would be a good start.
