Some entries below list multiple shows. This is not an attempt on my part to say “derp, I’m cramming in more than ten”—it is a way of saying “any of these will do.”

Except for #11.

That is me saying “derp, I’m cramming in more than ten.”

  1. Honey & Clover
  2. Gunbuster
  3. ( Aria || K-ON! || Sketchbook ~full Color’s~ )
  4. School Days
  5. Cowboy Bebop
  6. Byousoku 5 Centimeter
  7. ( Amagami SS || KimiKiss ~Pure Rouge~ || To Heart )
  8. ( Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu && Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu )
  9. ( Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu! || Ouran High School Host Club )
  10. Mai-HiME
  11. Bonus: If you want to be the little girl. ( uta~kata || Nanoha || Umi Monogatari )
  12. Bonus: If you are a rapist. ( DMC )

Why is this an ordered list? I’m bad at counting, so when I put this together I numbered them to make sure I was staying within my constraints. Of course, I failed to do so (see: #11), but failure is an important part of my character, right? Just wouldn’t be the LK without it.

In any event, do not let the numbers above trigger any sense of priority or anything like that. God forfend.

Lemme apply the technique it taught me.

If you watch the first season of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha backwards, it’s about two super-powered girls in a Class S relationship losing each other’s trust and eventually coming to blows.

Wait.

Sounds an awful lot like Huke’s masturbatory OVA.

I’ve been leaving you alone a lot recently, has that been nice? Technology is awesome. I’ve already managed to incense someone by bashing on Higurashi in Google Wave. Google Wave! That shit’s like, from 2014!

Anyway. Back to the season at hand.

I am now going to prove that nothing currently airing is good. Don’t expect screenshots, I’m too lazy even to steal pics from RandomC.

1. Queen’s Blade Season 2: Hirano Aya’s character has been marginalized. I haven’t heard nearly enough of her voice this season. Every time I finish an episode of this trash, I go back and marathon the entirety of Kiddy Grade for want of her voice.

2. Seiken no Blacksmith: Ignoring that knights must be chivalrous and not moe, the message of Blackshit thus far seems to have been that girls are sad if you don’t buy them useless kit. Buy a candle and stick it on their heads, though, and you’re golden. You’re even a good guy, who cares about the girl! But if you don’t buy shitty accessories, you’re a bad guy. Thrifty? No, you’re evil, and you need to be corrected.

3. Fairy Tail: This show is louder than Seto no Hanayome, and it doesn’t make up for it with mermaid gangsters. Loud is bad.

4. Sasameki Koto: Should be “Stammered Things” instead of “Whispered Things.” This manga didn’t translate well into anime form; Sumi is a humongous pansy who’s more painful to watch than the typical weak male harem lead, and her crush has no redeeming values whatsoever. Take something great and destroy it.

5. Book of Bantorra: Xam’d ripoff. Inferior Xam’d ripoff.

6. Winter Sonata: the main guy looks exactly like my gf’s ex, and that pisses me off. If an anime pisses me off, it’s bad, unless it’s Bokurano, in which case it’s somehow good even if it’s angering (thanks, Owen!).

7. Sora no Otoshimono: Chobits was hotter. If Tomoki doesn’t start fingering Ikaros soon I’m going to throw my shoe at my monitor. This show also suffers from Kanokon/To-Love-ru Syndrome: too much sexual tension, not enough sex.

8. Kanokon OVA: see above.

9. To-love-ru OVA: see above.

10. Kampfer: see above.

11. Nyan-koi: Not enough catfish. Pass.

12. Darker than Black 2: I have a skit for this piece of shit.

Suou: FATE-CHAN! TANYA!
Tanya: … *scowl*
Suou: Fate-chan Tanya, stop this!
Tanya: … why?
Suou: It’s me, Nanoha Suou! Remember me?
Tanya: Die.
Suou: Listen to me! I just want to be friends…
Tanya: BARDICHE! BUGS!
Suou: *transformation sequence* STARLIGHT BREAKER! HUGE FUCKING GUN! *humongous explosions*

Hopefully this has been illuminating and informative for all.

13. Kiddy girlAND: Not enough Hirano Aya. ;(

14. Aoi Bungaku: that piece of shit ghostlightning enjoys this show. He also like Bakemonogatari. You can see a trend, here.

Anything else airing? I’ll take it down a few rungs. C’mon. Bring it.

15. A Certain Scientific Railgun: not enough Railgun, way too much loud, annoying lolis (Uihara, the teleporting bitch, etc.). Also, promotes bad things, in particular, blanket video surveillance. Earns the “most evil” mark of the season, second being Seiken no Blacksmith with its consumerist messages.

16. Kimi ni Todoke: traumatizing memories of the KimiKiss opening.
