The Best of Anime 2006


With the end of 2006 almost upon us, here’s a look back at some of the best series this year had to offer. Also included at the end are the final results to the Reader’s Choice Poll.

Disclaimer: These are purely my personal opinion based on the shows that I saw in the past year. For a show to qualify for consideration, it had to have met the requirements I outlined in the Reader’s Choice Poll. There is also a big spoiler for those of you who haven’t seen Canvas2 and still plan to do so, but hopefully that’s not many people.

Random Musings – Zero no Tsukaima 2nd Series Edition

The big news story today is that Zero no Tsukaima is getting a second series. According to MOON PHASE, the general announcement came across several mediums, including the fourth DVD, the first volume of the manga, the tenth volume of the novel, and the latest insert for MF Bunko J. However, the details – including air-date – are still unclear. Since one of my complaints about the first anime was that it was too short, I’m very excited to hear this and am hoping that now we’ll get to see a lot more story with Siesta and Henrietta.
