Poll: Summer 2010 Anime Season

In the past, only the Reader's Choice poll for the year-end Best of Anime post got an real sort of attention, but I'm leaning towards having something similar every season to see what our readers are looking forward. In any case, I hope the Summer 2010 Preview was helpful in sifting through all the new shows and finding the ones that interest you. I already have a really good idea of what I plan to watch (and of those which ones to blog), but here's your chance to voice your picks and compare them with others. As always, comments are welcome if there's anything you want to add about a particular show or the summer season in general.

Note: The same poll will also be available on the sidebar.

Angel Beats! OP Complication (Durarara!! OP2 Parody)

[flv:Angel_Beats_Durarara_OP2_Parody.mp4 550 310]

What do you get when you combine one of the hottest shows of the season with one of the coolest themes and most distinct opening sequences? The best of both worlds in this exceptionally well-done MAD movie for Angel Beats inspired by Durarara's stylistic touches and featuring ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D's "Complication". With both of these awesome series coming to an end in the next couple of days, now seemed like the perfect time to post about this. If you haven't seen this yet, you might be surprised how talented (i.e. hardcore) some Japanese fans are. As a bonus, this video even helps you get Angel Beats' character names straight if you had any difficulty doing to. Of course, it's even COOLER if you do a side by side comparison with the original and sync them up, for which I've provided the option to do so below. Now how badass is that?
