Man, so much of Shaft's history and so many iconic characters in one visual.

Still no Mekaucity Actors. There’s plenty of room at the upper right for a floating Ene, c’mon.

Only ones I knew at a glance are Madoka, Negi, and the girl that was in Mario Maker for some reason, but it is a neat image.

I don't know why, but the exclusion of anyone from Sasami-san@Ganbaranai makes me laugh. A show so unique, yet utterly dull & incomprehensible that maybe the studio itself forgot making it?

I feel the same with the lack of any Dance in the Vampire Bund. Come on Shinbo, 2010 wasn't that long ago and you seemed pretty proud of yourself at the time. Now hold your hand up & own up to what you did!

Aside from the usual big hitters like Monogatari & Dokes, so far only one my favourite two Shaft shows has been represented. I'm super happy to see Nino from Arakawa Under the Bridge finally there - now there's Hotori from SoreMachi?

Wow, had totally forgotten that Mahoromatic was a SHAFT title. Nice blast from the past there.

Would you admit to having been involved in that one? Wink Still flabbergasts me that it got both animated and released to some fanfare in the States.
