For what it's worth, <12~SoraNoWoto>

I can't really hope for yet another upset. Well, I can hope, but not expect. :|

Sora no Woto is a great show.

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.

This would be a more difficult decision if Sora no Woto was actually a good show.

Actually, wait, no, it wouldn't.

Making an early prediction now: This whole thing will be a contest between Summer Wars and FMA:B.

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

This is painful — these are my two favorites of all the nominees, and I hate to have to choose between them.

I haven't seen Cross Game, but sports animes tend not to be my thing. And I don't think there's much of anything I'd vote over <14$Black★RockShooter> anyway. Probably not even Soranowoto.

...and this is yet another one of my favorites that is doomed to be squashed by FMA.

On a brighter side, I have the BRS blu-ray set on pre-order. It'll arrive in a couple weeks. Sort of my Christmas present to myself, I guess.

Something about Black Rock Shooter just annoys me every time I see anything related to it. Plus, I hear <31^CrossGame> is pretty good.

<31^CrossGame> I highly doubt the first episode of black rock shooter could be as effective at generating an emotional response.

This.

blkmage hasn't voted yet. Is this one a difficult choice?

EDIT**

Oh yeah. I actually knew that. Derp derp, self.

Thanks for setting me straight Midori. Your point is taken.
