I have a suggestion that involves ending Death Note this year, instead of starting a new show when Pumpkin Scissors ends.
The final episode of Pumpkin Scissors plays on 27/11, right? And I've heard that we'll be going all the way up to 18/12 this year. If this is correct, then instead of starting a new anime and only having 3 or 4 eps played before we break, as well as leaving Death Note hanging on the last 2 or 3 eps until next year, I've worked out that we can end up Death Note by playing 2 eps per meet for the rest of the year.
Here's a quick chart to show this:
date.....pumpkin scissors.....death note
20/11....23..........................31
27/11....24..........................32
4/12...................................33
11/12.................................34+35
18/12.................................36+37
If Death Note is played like this, including one ep on the December OVA night (if we have one) it will be ended this year, then we can have two new Animes (Higurashi Kai and School Days maybe?) starting together at the start of next year, instead of leaving not one but TWO animes hanging this year if a new one is started.
What do others think of this idea?
Oh, and in case anyone thinks of mentioning about that all the other animes will be left hanging anyway, yes I realise that, but they would have no chance of ending this year anyways. Death Note does have a chance, and I think that is the type of anime we should end up cleanly this year.
