Fullmetal Alchemist: Chibi Party (OAV)Not really goodThis reminded me of something I write for a free-form storyline-driven e-mail RPG I'm in. I sometimes write entire posts (comedies, in fact) where my usual characters, past and present, are actors on the sets of films or at award shows and such, all with different personalities than displayed "on-screen". I even made one of my canonically male characters be a female in "real life", playing a male "on-screen". Because I've written something similar beforehand, I have a bit more affection for this OAV than I normally would. Still, I much prefer this style as done by me. =P

Now and Then, Here and There (TV)So-soThe most overrated anime I've ever seen. Sheesh. I was especially displeased with the misogyny, and ESPECIALLY especially displeased with how they treated Sarah in the last episode. What the hell was that? Is she a person or just a dreamless automaton the writer can throw around at will? Crap. If I wasn't objective, I'd rate this lower than I am.
On Your Mark (movie)Excellent
One Piece - Defeat The Pirate Ganzak! (OAV)Not really good
One Piece: The MovieNot really good
Only Yesterday (movie)Very good
Ouran High School Host Club (TV)GoodOkay, I sheerly did not like Episode 8. It plays something like this: "Haruhi, you're a girl, so you should always be wary that some dude can beat or rape you! HOW DARE YOU PUT YOURSELF INTO A SITUATION WHERE A MAN COULD DO THAT TO YOU, HARUHI." The episode is condescending and belittling to women and even seems to play the victim blaming game. Heck, Haruhi is even demanded to apologize for trying to help others because she "should leave it to the men" who were nowhere around at the time anyway. The show's narration even seems to side against her with no room for her to explain her side. They treat her like a child because she's female. This is a surprise episode from a show with a female main character who usually breaks the barrier between the genders. Aside from that one episode, the show is otherwise in top form throughout. Funny and cute. I decided to lower its score a step just because of that one episode though. Pity.

S-CRY-ed (TV)Not really goodThis anime is PACKED with fighting anime cliches including the dreaded "characters yelling out the names of their attacks" thing. I can withstand this. It grabs a bunch of potentially good characters and starts stirring up what will eventually be a big conflict. Then, halfway through, it introduces a villain I find to be uninteresting and the story switches to "He's evil and we have to stop him!" There are some points which would be greatly emotional if the characters had been a bit better developed. Also, I had trouble seeing Kazuma as the main character. It DEFINITELY felt like Ryuhou had taken the spotlight in every episode of the second half, and I was more attached to him than any other character. The final battle would have been better emotionally if the characters had been developed a bit better, but what a neat slugout it was to watch in its final (sadly brief) moments.

Street Fighter Alpha: Generations (OAV)Awful
Street Fighter II V (TV)Worst everThis show is MADDENING. This is one of the most embarrassing shows I've ever seen. It's overly long and filled with poor animation and scene-reuse after scene-reuse. Aside, it's a horrible contradiction of the games.

Superflat Monogram (movie)So-so
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legend of the Supermutants (OAV)Worst everI was a TMNT fan BIG TIME as a kid, as many children of the 80s were, so I'm knowledgeable on this subject and thus the anime's lack of explanation or background story didn't bother me. This anime is much like the old series, but with MORE plotholes and MORE stupidity, just as you believed that could not be possible. It's terrible, but so terrible that it's hilarious. Also, it's good to know that Turtles were big in Japan as well.

Texhnolyze (TV)Decent (dub & sub)This one is tough. I think it could have made a beautiful 22 episode series, but it didn't pace itself well. It seemed like too little was happening in each episode, despite that being untrue. It usually seemed this way when the series began focusing too much on very minor characters instead of the ones it should have been focusing on, and became too preoccupied with the "Shapes" later on. I think it would have been better off as a 13 episode series, though that might have wrecked some of the symbolism and moody touches. I think the characters could have been better defined to fill in some of the space (most of the side-characters don't seem to accomplish much), and I would have ESPECIALLY appreciated some more interaction between Ichise and Ran (this in particular could have made the series great and everything would have been forgiven). Nevertheless, this is a moody, dark anime, and should appeal to those who like those things. I was interested in the main character throughout, and he was well developed. The ending was a bit of a depressing one for me, but I love the sadness. Beautiful OPs and EDs for this show, especially Walking Through The Empty Age (the one that ended the final episode). I like this series more after having reflected on it, but I still say that Ichise and Ran needed more interaction.
Tokyo Godfathers (movie)Excellent
Transformers: Scramble City (OAV)Not really good
Transformers: Zone (OAV)So-soThis one definitely deserves some extra credit for looking GREAT. I don't know how they did it or if they could have maintained this level of quality for long.
Trigun (TV)Masterpiece (dub & sub)This anime is what got me into anime in the first place. It has inspired me both in my life and my writing. Without it, I don't know where, who, or what I'd be today. Trigun is my favorite anime, and Vash The Stampede is the greatest hero of all time.
Trinity Blood (TV)Bad (dub & sub)This show is a bad knock-off of Trigun. Even its title suggests this. I wouldn't mind this so much if the show were actually entertaining, which it seldom is. Perhaps worse than anything is the character Seth. She is a Mary-Sue of the worst kind. Bad fanfic quality for certain. It nauseates me just thinking about her.

Will not finishRatingComment
Astro Boy (TV 2/1980)AwfulSaw a little of the edited version.
Astro Boy (TV 1/1963)WeakThis is not without its charms, however. The humor present makes it much better than shows like Gigantor.
Bleach (TV)DecentI watch this weekly. The only reason I moved it to "Will not finish" is because I dislike having a show in my "Seen some" if it has not yet ended.
Case Closed (TV)Not really goodI liked what I saw of this show, but its FREAKISH length has discouraged me greatly; I'm not a big fan of long shows (anything over 52 episodes).
Dragon Ball (TV)Weak
Dragon Ball GT (TV)Bad
Dragon Ball Z (TV)WeakLots and lots of nostalgia. I know it holds together as well as wet toilet paper, but there's always been something a little charming about DBZ. That's probably the nostalgia talking again. I hate the Garlic Jr. arc... a LOT. Oh, and Goku is the biggest Mary-Sue (Gary Stu) I've ever seen outside of a fanfic.
Duel Masters (TV)Worst ever
Fushigi na Koala Blinky (TV)BadI saw this when I was a very young kid. UPDATE: I watched some of this again in 2007. Been a long time. It was surprisingly not as bad as one may think. No special treatment for nostalgia, though.
Gigantor (TV)Awful
Hamtaro (TV)Bad
Lupin III: Part II (TV)DecentI had enough fun watching this show on Cartoon Network that I'd be glad to finish watching it (despite its length). I'll leave it here for now, because of the fact that I have doubts that I'll ever get around to actually seeing it all.
MÄR (TV)Not really goodThis show started out interesting and with a lot of potential. Somehow it later turns into battle after battle in the "War Games" (which is sadly not as good a concept as WCW's WarGames). At this point, all story and most character development is halted. You also have to face training episodes of little consequence in-between some of the fights.
Maya the Bee (TV)Bad

Negima! (TV)BadNeeds less fanservice and more Curtain-Face. I'm serious. Join the Curtain-Face fan club, everybody!
New Dominion Tank Police (OAV)Awful
One Piece (TV)Decent (dub & sub)Show rated by original Japanese and by FUNimation's dub. 4kid's dub I shall not mention for more than this sentence.
Pokémon (TV)Worst everI see every episode as having the same plot. What more can I say? Oh yeah, it contradicts the games in every way it can. Thanks, guys.
Pokemon Advance (TV)Worst everSee Pokemon.
(The) Prince of Tennis (TV)Weak178 episodes of tennis and tennis-related drama? I was insane to take up watching this. =P Ryoma is boring because he has no flaws, little discernible personality, and no problems to endure, and as such is a poor main character. He's also a Mary Sue (Gary Stu). Well, at least Ryoma is a more forward thinker on the subject of nationality. What were American people like compared to Japanese? Ryoma's response: "The same." Thank you.
