I've seen about 70% of these and know of almost all of the rest so I'd say I qualify as a major anime-ota, no? I haven't seen the one on top though so maybe I still fail ^^''

Personally, I want to add:
Ah! Megami-sama series
Full Metal Alchemist (either one)
Hikaru no Go
Something based on a manga by Rumiko Takahashi that's not Urusei Yatsura
Ouran High School Host Club

Do you think anything's missing from the list?

I haven't seen them all (naturally) but I would put both Uchuu Kyoudai and Binbougami ga! way higher.
My top would probably be:
1. Sword Art Online
2. Binbougami ga!
3. Hyouka
4. Uchuu Kyoudai (if you liked PlanetES and Twin Spica you'll probably like this one)
5. Tari Tari
6. Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita

Which ones did you like?


Started watching the fall seasons anime yet?

Momoiro Clover Z

I first heard them singing the opening and ending for the anime Mouretsu Pirates (Mugen no Ai  and LOST CHILD) and liked both songs. Then it was announced that they were going to sing the new Sailor Moon theme next summer and I got hooked on the single (Z Otome Sensou) they released along the announcement as well.Which also came with a couple of catchy coupling songs, PUSH and Mite Mite ☆ Kocchicchi (also an ed theme for Pokemon BW). And their latest single Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimi-tachi yo (the one below) will be coupled with the new Furby theme song Wee-Tee-Wee-Tee (this song is a bit much for me though) and one more song.
I really like Momoka (green). She's so bubbly cute X3
They had a girls-only-concert in the beginning of October. I wanted to go!
