[bobobobobobobobotGo!]

I approve all except Steins;Gate. Never got into it. So no love for Dream Eater Merry beautiful animation. Oh well. :P

[Yupa]

I don't recall any romance in Denpa Onna, I'd say it's a slice-of-life anime. A not very good one at that.

Looking forward to the show, however I won't be able to make it to the live recording today.

I actually nominated it, but it got no votes so it didn't make the FINAL nomination list we announced. Only anime with at least one vote from one show made it to the final list. We started out with like 6+ in each category and it widdled down to 4 or so in each category.

[Varnis]

I definitely approve of Best Animation (Style & Quality)
