Best Anime of 2010: Tournament-style

The real heart of CAA; discuss specific series, issues, and things related to anime here.

Tamayura would be much better if Amanchu! the new manga by the author of ARIA didn't exist and show everything that made it's predecessor great with even more amazing artwork.

<16/Bakuman>
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Bakuman the manga is awesome. But it wouldn't be the same if I were watching the anime.

To be honest, I don't think Amanchu is as great as ARIA was and I think it's because diving is a lot harder for me to get into than gondoliering. To me, the technical explanations about diving are kind of taking away from the experience.

<32@KimiNiTodoke>

I think I'm going to go with Kimi ni Todoke because it's definitely the underdog in this matchup and I'm interested in seeing how much of a fight it'll put up, but, more importantly, because I think it's pretty much a perfect adaptation of the source material.

I have a feeling that I'm gonna be really disappointed when this round ends.
Whatever the season in life, the RIGHT attitude makes all the difference.

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2

"Though our paths may have diverged, you must continue to live out your life with all your might; you must never consider your own life to be something insignificant, and you must never forget about the friends whom you loved for as long as you live."
The Third Rule of Fairy Tail


"Mistakes are not shackles that halt one from stepping forward. Rather, they are that which sustain and grow one's heart.
Mavis Vermilion, Fairy Tail

Just out of curiosity, what is the rationale behind pitting the highest ranked show against the lowest ranked show?

Random number generators. But if it weren't random, this would happen anyway because of seeding. And technically, it's not the lowest ranked show, again due to randomness. It's probably a lot more popular than, say, Togainu no Chi.

Still funny, though.
