Last season's top 3

[Yukimura]

Lol my top three that ended would be about the same as shinta's:

1) Regios - good and proper 5 man band action series with an interesting if somewhat confusing story to support the action, and plenty of interesting characters to really keep things engaging from start to finish.

2) Hatsukoi Limited: Had something of a love hate relationship with much of this show but I think Saki-nee would want me to forgive all wrongs.

3) K-on: It was fun. Certainly not the most fun thing I've ever seen but it made me smile most of the 13 weeks it ran and that counts for plenty with me.

Honorable Mentions:
Sora Kakeru Shoujo - Came for Lelouch, stayed for the absurdity, humor, and characters.
Natsu no Arashi - interesting but didn't have enough grab for me week to week.

Honorable mention to shows still airing:
Guin Saga - If you like badassness you should definitely check this out, and even if you don''t there seems to be plenty of intrigue, politics, and expansive fantasy world building going into this one. I'd liken it to Seirei no Moribito in tone however I think Guin might give Balsa a run for her money in terms of overall awesomeness due to his edge in political skills.

Phantom - Really loving this one, if they don't mess up the ending this may be in the running for my best of '09 despite fall being so far away.

Dishonorable mention:
Eden of the East - I still haven't figured out what everyone was so into about this show but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't find it the greatest thing since sliced bread (<3 shinta and Buff). I liked it at times for the mysterious elements but they didn't make me lose sleep or anything like that. The sexy visuals were definitely a plus as well but the main characters really soured it for me and in the end I was just glad it was over.

EDIT - At last 3000 posts for me as well.
