The thing about Haruhi is it suffered from some very weak writing. . .


If you think that was an example of weak writing, I can point to numerous series released in the U.S. last year that were immensely worse.

Though had some series like Code Geass, Gurren Lagann and Higurashi Kai been released by now I think (I hope as I get the impression the two might not appreciate this type of show) this list would have looked a lot different.


It goes without saying that the results might have been different with fansubbed-only 2007 releases figured into the equation (though not necessarily because of the titles you stated), but that's also entirely beside the point. There was a thread in the Anime forum devoted to the best of 2007 in Japan if you want to discuss that.

I wish we had more anime titles like the ones that came out this year!

Thoughts?!

I should point out that, despite the title, these anime aired in 2006.

I was wondering for a moment why a list of best anime in 2007 didn't include even a mention of Seirei no Moribito. Then when I looked more closely at the series cited, like Black Lagoon and Haruhi, I realized the date was misleading.

That's because we were doing these in the era before everything was streaming (in fact, I don't think anything was streaming legally yet in 2007?), so we were basing the best titles off of when the titles were legally available in the States. That often meant a year or two delay from their airing times and resulted in some occasional big omissions.
