In memory of 2011 その９: the big ones I missed

As would happen in a year where study and real life take precedence…

Scratch that…for it’s happened to me every year since I started learning Japanese. There’s only so much one can watch when most series also bring a pile of new items to the reading list!

So, here are the shows that I did not watch, but which, due to the “OMG! That development!” and “Great final episode!” posts on yaraon, not to mention the new subforums that graced AS and the crazy number of comments on RC, have made it onto my backlog.

Steins;Gate

Mawaru Penguindrum

Tiger & Bunny

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Whether I watch them to completion is another matter altogether, but at the moment, I intend to find the time to do so. As for the other two big ones – Hanasaku Iroha and Fate/Zero…I’m still debating about the latter, and definitely don’t intend to watch the former at all. It’s not that I think it’s something it’s not (i.e. something like Kanon/Air etc), but I’m just not interested.
