My Top Three Animes of 2011

January 12, 2012 | Cobberwebb 1

I’ve always loved animation. From the classic Warner Brothers five minute giggle fests to the wondrous ‘Sword in the Stone’ and ‘Robin Hood’ by Disney. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I started to delve deep into the world of Japanese anime. I had seen and marvelled at ‘Dragonball Z’ and  ‘Tenchi Muyo!’ some years ago and I was left wanting more. So off I went, searching and sifting through the mass database of anime titles. Then the endless hours of watching began. With my eyes bloodshot and buttocks sore, I realized that I was addicted. The beautiful ‘Ah! My Goddess’ and  ‘Lovely Complex’ (I could write a whole article on this anime) to the disturbing ‘School Days’ and graphic ‘Elfen Lied’, it was all miles above in quality compared to the hum drum bullshit that was coming out of Hollywood. The Japanese are twisted (no offense intended) and are not afraid to show it, and this makes for great storytelling or at least something different. Now I don’t consider myself an expert on anime and I’ve not seen all that has been released in 2011 so feel free to comment and give suggestions on any anime that that I’ve missed and I’ll add it to my long, long list of anime to watch. With that said, here are my favourite three animes from 2011.
