Reactions Around the Web
Oddly enough, I can agree with the anime picks, but not the light novels as much...
This'll end up being decided by how many people fiercely believe in these polls.
Those light novels are actually dependent upon their anime.
Wow, Amagi Briliant came out big!
Are you sure about releasing Shimoneta to the rest of the world, Japan?!
