| 5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) |
Very good |
Incredible artwork, great directing, but rather scarce plot. There wasn't enough time to get emotionally involved in any of the characters, and it just felt like "That's it?" in the end. |

Panties. Chick fights. Panties. I think they briefly introduced some sort of bad-guy-trying-to-blow-up-the-world plot. And oh yeah, panties. A worm's-eye-view into a battle of miniskirt-clad girls versus... miniskirt-clad girls. Really, if you're expecting anything more than what I've described, you're out of luck. Panties. |

From the episodes I've seen, there wasn't that much humor, the characters weren't very deep, the relationship wasn't developing in any interesting way, and it seemed to drag out. |
| Ai Yori Aoshi (TV) |
Good |
I call this show "warm fuzzies". Some average joe finds out he's engaged to marry a perfectly-behaved, perfectly-devoted, sweet, gentle, self-conscious, and rather naive girl trained to be a perfect traditional Japanese wife. Throw in a stereotypical drunken American girl, a stereotypical glasses-wearing klutzy girl, a stereotypical responsible caretaker woman with Aoi's best interest in mind and the guy left in the shack out back, and a stereotypical hyper loli, and you get some variety between the inevitable "I l- l- love *blush* you" "*blush*" "*blush*" |

Tip: Don't get attached to any of the characters. If a girl exists in this series, there's a good chance she won't live long. Don't watch episode 6 if you have any history of depression or are easily affected by fictional drama. This show is full of self-centered people making stupid decisions without any regard to the rest of the characters, and no one walks away happy. Most don't walk away. The creators started taking shrooms around the crow and ancient flashback scenes, and that's about when you lose all hope that anything good will come out of this series. And alas, nothing good does. They're all idiots and I hate them all. Great artwork and huge emotional impact, though. |

Wow, was this a waste of time. Given the concept, I thought it would at least have good comedy or decent fanservice or something. They didn't really follow through on the fact that her brain was that of a cat's (other than her affinity for fish and inability to swim, which was primarily due to her weight as a robot). |

It was okay, but the ending was stupid. I recommend you stop watching before the final episode and just pretend it has a realistic ending. I mean, I liked the girl that he picked (the girl herself, not necessarily that he picked her), but dude, things don't happen that way. |

Very odd yet beautiful series. The show alternates focus between two stories: a fairly typical school romance drama (love triangles and whatnot), and a girl who was in an accident a few years ago and is now trying to live with a condition that limits her retention of new memories to only 13 hours. The stories are linked only by the fact that the girl in the latter is the twin of a girl in the former, although their personalities are nearly opposite. I liked the way both stories ended. |

Dark, bloody, and sad in parts. If watching a nice girl get her arms and legs sliced off by someone you thought was a nice girl sounds like a good time, enjoy. Cuteness, gore, innocence, ruthless murder, fanservice, pant-wetting, playful comedy, and action. The girl does, after all, have split personalities. |
| Excel Saga (TV) |

Hyper self-indulgent comedy. First episode is great. Some of the material is repetitive. The final "going too far" episode is great. |
| (The) Familiar of Zero (TV) |
Excellent |
You can't not love Louise. She's a cute and proud tsundere whose abysmal spell-casting ability and apparent lack of any other talent earn her the nickname "Zero Louise". The fact that she's obviously self-conscious about her ineptitude and tries to hide it with a mask of pride makes her that much more lovable. Her relationship with Saito is full of mixed feelings on both sides, and they both try hard to hide any positive feelings toward one another, even though they really learn to admire and appreciate each other throughout the series. There isn't much about this show I didn't love. Great humor, good mix of romance, good action, and... Louise! |
| (The) Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Twin Moons (TV) |

The first episode was very sub-par, but it got back into the ZnT groove after that. They succeeded in making it feel like just another season of the same series, as if there were no gap in between. |

I don't know why, but I really love this series. The directing is superb, and so much about this series is "just right". The ending was perfect, all things considered. The crazy woman was downright annoying and I hope she dies in a fire. I watched the English dub, and it contained some of the best English voice acting I've seen in an anime (particularly the voice of Tohru). I loved this series, and my six-year-old sister loved this series. |

| Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) |
Masterpiece |
A really unique and enthralling series, brilliantly crafted. Despite its length, the episodes continue to feel like each one has a purpose throughout the whole series, and everything comes together at just the right pace, with the movie finishing in a perfect little package. I generally don't care for shows with a lot of action, but this one had just the right mix of all elements. There was some really disturbing stuff (when I realized what the guy had done to his daughter, chills ran down my spine), and some interesting commentary on life and relationships. Whatever a "soul" is in this series, I'm convinced that the Homunculus had souls and that Ed and his mother were both somewhat mistaken. Winry survived the series and never cut her hair short or anything, so I'm happy. |

Cute girls. Of course everyone is in love with the nerd. The ending SUCKS because they go through this endless talk about how in the end you'll have to choose just one of the girls, but in the end, HE DOESN'T CHOOSE ANYONE! He's still playing the whole field at the very end. |

I love this type of series. It's all about character relationships and solving problems. A lot of it's pretty corny and out of touch with reality, but hey, it's anime. I don't get why he ends up actually going to the U.S. at the end, but meh, there was nothing left to solve. The blonde girl was awesome. I wish I knew what the secret was with her dad, because it's a bit weird that she'd be *that* affected by the secret leaking out. |

Some aspects of the story had potential, but I thought it was very poorly executed. The revelation in the final episode could have made a huge impact, but instead they rushed it and then finished off the show with a cop-out ending. The good points of the series were spoiled by corniness, too much filler, rushed plot development, and overall poor delivery. It tried to be both a light-hearted harem comedy and a serious drama, and it didn't quite succeed at either. |

Sorry, but the great art isn't enough to hide the fact that there was no significant plot or message to the show. Be happy and you'll be younger? Yawn. |

Beautiful art. Lots of touching moments. Spoilers: My favorite girl was the only one who died. That really sucked. And they drew it out, giving you moments of false hope during the painfully gradual decline, and I shed some burly man-tears. Ayu was looking great toward the end until she wandered off and got a freaking boy's haircut. |
| Karin (TV) |
Good |
Meet Karin, the anti-vampire, born into a family of respectable and proud vampires. She can be out during the day, hates the dark, and her body produces a surplus of blood she has to dispose of. Throw her into a school setting, add some romance, and toss in a vampire hunter with a crush on her and ignorance of her vampire status, and you get a hilarity-ensuable bundle of whee. Although it was cheesy in parts, it was quite fun overall. |
| Kasimasi - Girl Meets Girl (TV) |
Good |
I don't know why I liked this as much as I did. The conflict with the added sympathy element toward the girl with the condition just sort of worked. The premise was lame and the aliens were lame, but I enjoyed the human relationship part of the show, even if the main (girl/guy) sort of sat in the background the whole time. He/she didn't pick the girl I would've picked, but at least neither of the girls were losers. |

They're all good people, and there actually wasn't that much backstabbing compared to similar shows. |

One of the most important things about telling this kind of story is you must make the relationship convincing. I could buy into the guy falling for the girl at the carnival before he knew they were siblings, but the girl falling for the guy later just wasn't believable to me. She basically thought of him as a brother in one scene and then confessed to him in the next. Sorry, but the delivery of that important aspect of the story just didn't work for me. |

This show was absolutely brilliantly produced. There is so much attention to detail, I can watch it all the way through numerous times and still pick up new things. Just hearing a summary of the plot doesn't do the show justice, since the core plot is, in fact, rather lame. It's the characters and how the show is presented that makes it so great. The entire series is presented deliberately out-of-order, and it somehow works wonderfully. The series is chock full of creative genius, great directing, and top-quality artwork and animation, along with a perfect amount of humor and action. Easily Kyoto Animation's best work to date. I can't wait for the sequel. |

This show is truly unique. It successfully captures an entire world and culture where industrial man is fighting the gods over ownership of the earth. One aspect of this movie which I truly admire is the fact that, like in the real world, there aren't *truly* any good guys or bad guys; everyone has his or her own reasons for doing what they're doing, and conflicts come from misunderstandings and self-interest on both sides. The show is a work of art with a good mix of action, tenderness, and commentary on life. |

More Excel Saga humor. If you liked Excel Saga, this is a great follow-up. |

If you look carefully, you may find the scene where the camera shows her lower body *without* her panties showing. Try hard, it's somewhere in there. |

The kind of ADHD quick-jab comedy you expect from the makers of Pani Poni Dash, yet very artistic and (dare I say) beautiful, in a neurotic/sadistic sort of way. There's more traction than in Pani Poni Dash, and I don't feel burned out after each episode. Probably the best ending sequence I've ever seen. |

Excellent |
Greatest school love comedy of all time? If you consider the number of episodes through which this series has managed to stay fresh and marathonable, I say so! |

The second series is a seamless continuation of the first, and like the first it continues to be fresh and funny through to the very end. It ended saying "See you next time!" There had better be a third series. I want more! |

My favorite show of the season, hands-down. It looked like it was going to be a sucky copypasta series at first, but by the second episode it really took off. I love all of the characters. And if you're annoyed about the Rei clone, trust me, her character gains depth and substance in episode 6 onward. I really don't think Aono deserved the ending she got, considering her role throughout the series and the sacrifices others made for her, but the last little bit in the ending gave a weird sense of hope. I'm curious what the two upcoming special DVD episodes will contribute to the plot, if anything. |
| Spirited Away (movie) |
Masterpiece |
An amazing work of art and entertaining piece for all ages. There isn't much of a plot, but there's definitely a distinct culture presented within the world of the gods, and it is presented very well. The difference between this and the disaster that was Howl's Moving Castle is that Spirited Away helps you discover the world they're presenting rather than simply leaving you to feel lost within it. |

Harem love comedy with a martial arts theme. The guy treats the two apparently milk-deprived girls like a couple of flies, which drives most of the Rizelmine-esque physical comedy. Quite entertaining with moderate fanservice. |

A romance with lots of drama and tension. The guy was an idiot for letting the one relationship slip, but oh well, she deserved someone better than him anyway. ;) |

For a Miyazaki movie, this show was quite disappointing. As it finished, it didn't really leave me with anything. Certainly not the warm fuzziness that he seemed to be shooting for. The characters seemed bland and uninteresting, there was no plot worth mentioning (I'd consider it a mediocre one-episode plot in a typical series), and the atmosphere quality faded in and out. |
