yup, 55 in 2006!… from may-thru-december 2006, i’ve seen and rated 55 anime in 2006 so far (and may finish a couple more, lol)… after having seen others posting their “top tens” of the year, i figured why not?… for me, the most-important 5-star criteria is emotional power (can it move me to tears?), followed next by story complexity and character depth, then style, humor, music, uniqueness, and so on (not in any particular order)… also note that i only give a 4-star maximum to “half seasons”… SO, with that, here are my top 34 contenders for both “full seasons” (20-30+ episodes) and “half seasons” (10-15 episodes)… and across five self-defined categories (subject to change, lol)… impossible to choose winners!!!
dec 25 edit ~ last night and early morning, finally finished “Tsukuyomi Moon Phase” (gotta add this to the 5-star list!), plus the last 25 episodes of “Eureka Seven” (the same 5 stars as the first 25 episodes!)… so really, it’s the top 35 of 56 anime in 2006… lol, sorry!
dec 30 edit ~ hey, yesterday and the night before, managed to finish two more “full season” anime before the end of the year… “Azumanga Daioh” (4 stars) and “Naruto” Season 1 (5 stars)… so yup, another change, it’s really the top 36 of 58 anime in 2006… happy new year!
