Summer is here! Well, not for me. At home it's always summer, and in OZ it's winter. Oh, well. Anyway, here's the list of summer anime for all you otakus out there. Yes, I'm a little LATE. No need to tell me. And even being late I can't find any images for these damn shows. Oh well, I'll (and you will too) just have to go by what their websites have. I'll TRY to make this short, 'cos I'm guessing you've seen this somewhere? I THINK it's mostly complete. Tell me if I missed any, especially if they're good ones. ^^There are a few less animes than you would expect, but I guess that's the way it works. I don't think I'll actually watch them all though, get's a little mind-numbing, and I don't have the cash for more BT storage, heh.
