I love to watch Anime, sure of lot of you do. They try to bring out the most which regularly cartoons and live drama fail to do. Coming back to the topic this year we had some great Anime shows. This year most of the Anime were based in the future. Here are some of my Favorite Anime shows in 2012
Sword Art Online

Hyōka

However, things start to change when he enters high school because even though he does not want to join any non-compulsory school activities, his older sister requested him to join the deserted Classics Club so that it won’t get demolished. Unknown to him, another student Eru Chitanda already planned to join; but instead of being free from club obligations, Hōtarō eventually joined as he is strangely unable to refuse nor to escape from Eru’s passionate gaze of curiosity. Together with his friends Satoshi and Mayaka, they began to discuss a variety of mysteries in school that only Hōtarō seems to be able to solve; including the mystery that lingered on from Eru’s childhood memory.

Your plot summary for Sword Art Online has an error, you said : “The players of a virtual reality MMORPG, Aincrad Online” just so you know, the actual MMORPG is called Sword Art Online ( ab. SAO) the world it takes place in is Aincrad. As World of Warcraft for instance takes place in Azeroth and late different places.
Just thought I would let you know.

I also enjoyed Sankarea, Jormungand, Binbogami Ga, and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. Sakamichi no Apollon: Kids on the Slope and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun were also good.

This seems to be a good anime list. It’s been a while since I really sat down and watched anime and it seems that I’ll give these a try.

Were any of these anime’s english dubbed? Or only subbed in English? I know that SOA is coming out with English dubbed soon though but any others??
