I spent almost $300 on a 'definitive' anime guidebook series that was out of date the second it shipped

Man, that's rough. I've seen that happen with those big art books too, where they announce a new season after the book goes to print. Did your guide at least cover the classics well, or was it missing major stuff from even a few years ago? What series did you hope it would have?

Oh totally, it's like that time I bought a movie guide that came out right before the last Lord of the Rings film, so it just had a weird blank spot. @craig.grace, you're right about the classics though, this one did okay on the old stuff, like the big 90s series everyone knows. But it completely whiffed on some amazing shows from like five years back that are already considered must-watch. I was really hoping to see a section on that one space western that got huge, but nope, not a single page. Makes the whole book feel kinda useless for finding anything new.
