1) Naruto Vs. Pain Arc where everyone who dies comes back from the dead. You have no balls Kishimoto! NO BALLS!!
2) The Disappearance of The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi arc in Haruhi 2009. The movie is coming but I was really hyped up about that novel in the anime.
3) Not showing the final battle of Shikabane Hime Kuro featuring Hokuto vs. Makina. Goddamnit!
4) Tower of Druaga could have been an epic RPG based anime if it weren’t for the Neeba ending
5) Munto’s ending. What happened KyoAni? It was going so well too.
*Not Anime Related* Sylar Vs Petrelli Brothers. For that matter the entire 4th Volume of Heroes.
SPECIAL MENTIONS
A) Needless – Stupidest (In a so bad it’s good kind of way) manga and anime of the year
B) Hatsune Miku Project DIVA– Most addictive game I’ve played. I went through all the songs at least 5 times to unlock stuff.
C) Evangelion Re-Take – Best doujinshi I’ve read and I just read it yesterday, t’was amazing.
D) Jack Rakan of Mahou Sensei Negima – Best nickname, “The guy you could stab swords into all you want but it still won’t do a thing damnit!”
E) Mahou Sensei Negima – BEST YURI SCENE! Konoka & Setsuna’s pactio scene. HELL YEAH!!
F) Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ 2nd OP - Most WTF OP. In context that is. It was really big shock when I first watched the OP.
That's it for my last post of 2009. Let's hope the next year will be even better.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
