Now that the summer season is wrapping up, what was everyone's favorite show this season?

Titles were taken from here. If I missed one, please don't be afraid to tell me.

I for one tried to watch far too many shows this season and as a result am behind on all but two of them... However, I can say that my favorite for the season was easily Usagi Drop, though I loved Dantalian no Shoka as well.

Last season's poll can be found here.

I'm pretty sure that Idolmaster is going to be 2-cour (24-26 episodes) but I would say Usagi Drop is will be one of my favorites even though I haven't watched it.  I also enjoyed Kamisami no Memochou, Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, and Kaiji 2nd season.

Yeah, I heard the manga gets bad about half way through.
And Natsume is excellent. I haven't tried the anime yet, but I love the manga.

You forgot Yuru Yuri :P

Anyway, tough choice between THE iDOLM@STER, Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, Dantalian no Shoka, and Kami-sama no Memo-Chou

All good shows...but...I think I'll go with dantalian

Usagi Drop.

But Natsume, Dantalian and Mayo Chiki were really good too.

If I exclude Natsume since it's a third season. I'd say my faves for this summer would be.

Mawaru Penguindrum
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée
Usagi Drop (I want to punch the author for the manga ending though. =_=)

I have not gotten around to seeing the end of that, but I don't think I'll be changing my vote even if I could.

Mayo Chiki.  Great romance/comedy series.  Subaru is adorable and Kanade is just so devilish.

Dantalian was a close second, and Baka to Test close behind that.  Kamisama no Memochou wasn't bad, had a good ending, but the beginning was so bland that I can't rank it higher than these other three.

Also, edited the poll to allow vote changes.
