I haven't seen either but I love the art from BRS so I'm voting <14$Black★RockShooter>
I don't know what broke to make you like this, but I must be broken too if I'm standing here praising your destructiveness. -Rock (Black Lagoon)

As I had encountered kindness, I wanted to be kind myself. -Takashi Natsume (Natsume's Book of Friends)

Considering I could only get through 5 minutes of BRS before I gave up on it, this is not a difficult decision.

Just finished Katanagatari.

That was certainly something.

...

I'm honestly not sure if I utterly hate or utterly love the ending.
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.

Another baseball anime? I'm tempted to vote <7*LetterBee> from a grudge against baseball animes.

Oh wait I did.

Ookiku Furikabutte is actually pretty flawless, which is a lot more than I can say for Letter Bee.

Um, Blkmage......?

In any case, abstaining again. I've read TB, but that's not much of a basis for voting for the anime version.

Couldn't decide who to vote for between Cross Game and BRS, eh?

Anyway, abstaining.

I would just like to pop up and clarify that, no, I have not actually seen either Cross Game or Black Rock Shooter.

I have a grudge against sports in general. The exception is baseball in anime form. =)

I know I am fighting a losing battle here.

It's very flawed, but it isn't something I'd want to lose, and since I haven't seen Big Windup, this is how I'm going to do it.

I don't actually know anything about Letter Bee so I've run out of hilarious things to say.

Time of Eve was a shoe-in for this.

In 2009.

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
