It's official, 8 of the top 10 anime aired this fall:

Fairy Tail, One Piece, Pretty Cure, Bleach, Dragon Ball, SAO, Fate/Etc., and Uma Musume released new content since October.  There was a special episode of Fate/Strange Fake and the first time English release of the Uma Musume New Era movie to top everything off.  It doesn't get any better than that.

Football is also heating up, with championship week starting next Friday.  This year was full of upsets and this Saturday was no different, with unranked Michigan upending Ohio State.  The first year of the playoff means every team, including Ohio State, gets a second chance though, so nobody's fate is sealed.  As far as I'm concerned the playoff has already succeeded, by making every regular season game meaningful, because teams with 2 or even 3 losses are still hoping to make the playoff field and thus fighting to the bitter end.  Fandoms all across the country still have hope.  This year didn't actually need a playoff, as the only undefeated team we could have crowned Oregon immediately, but it's so much more fun this way.

Meanwhile, a bluray version of 100 Kanojo is available, as well as the first half of Mix S2.  Always useful for the archive.
