The List: October 2011

I will attempt to rank the anime that I watch based on their performance that month. Given the recent time and energy I've been spending on Star Trek and movies, it's a little unfair to keep such a list since I won't be as thorough and inclusive as I might have been a year or two ago.  If it's not on my list, then I'm not watching it.  Then again, my situation has caused me to be a bit more selective. So maybe this will work out afterall ...

1. Ben To. 

2. Bakuman Season 2. 

3. Beelzebub 

4. Ika Musume Season 2 

5. One Piece 

6. Chihayafuru 

7. Working!! 

8. Mayo Chiki! 

9. Bleach 

10. Fairy Tail 

11. Penguin Drum 

Notes:

•  Ben-to continues to prove I may have no standards.  
• I feel like I might be overrating Chiyafuru, it's got the characters, but not the story (Ben To is different. It's not meant to be taken seriously). 
•  Beelzebub's 4 episodes in October far exceeded the other long running Shounens (OP, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Naruto).
• I'm probably missing out on Fate/Zero.  However, I have been waiting for this series for YEARS.  I am afraid that I might be disappointed if I finally watch it.
