I have watched much anime over the years, and I have rated them according to my standards. I haven't given real descriptions to all of them yet: this will change in the future.

Seen all Rating Comment
07-Ghost (TV) Very good A well animated show, with a good plot. Hayami Shou's rendition of Ayanami is amazing, his deep voice making him the perfect commander type. A great show for all.
Afro Samurai (TV) Excellent A bloody good show, with just enough plot, lots of fighting, and a generally high level of epicness.
Afro Samurai: Resurrection (movie) Excellent The sequel to Afro Samurai is interesting, to say the least. It has a few aspects from the first show, but may not engage people who didnt watch the prequel.
Akira (movie) Good Daang. This is the craziest, most breathtaking show ever. I'm not saying it's the best. I'm just saying that it'll leave you speechless.
Alderamin on the Sky (TV) Excellent
Aldnoah.Zero (TV) Excellent
Aldnoah.Zero (TV 2) Excellent
Allison & Lillia (TV) Good A quality piece of animation with a fun soundtrack. A great watch, though I found Lilia's character to be...unpleasant.
Amagami SS (TV) Very good A generally good show, with an icky first opening and rather mushy moments. While the protagonist is an idiot, it still is worth watching, as it is quite fun.
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride: Those Awaiting a Star (OAV) Masterpiece
Angel Beats! (TV) Masterpiece One of the finest shows I have ever watched. I might define it as shounen, but it can truly interest people of all ages. It looks great, and has a rather unique and stirring plot.
(The) Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water (TV) Very good
(The) Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water (TV 2) Good
Asura Cryin' (TV) Weak Bleh.
Asura Cryin' 2 (TV) Weak Double bleh.
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Very good
Baccano! (TV) Excellent This a very fun show. Tis light-hearted, though it gets more serious near the end. Quite nice.
Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts (TV) Very good This is ridiculous, and that's what makes it amazing! lol
Bakemonogatari (TV) Excellent This is a very unconventional show, so be wary of that. Quite intellectual, you really have to think to get some of the jokes. Pretty awesome.
Black Butler (TV) Excellent A good show, rather dark though. It is very good, and creative to boot.
Black Butler II (TV) Very good Meh. If you really liked the first and want to see more of the characters go ahead. I just didn't find it to be great.
Blade of the Immortal (TV) Very good Another samurai anime. Not bad.
Bleach the Movie: Fade to Black (movie 3) Decent Interesting...though I can't say I remember it that well =/
Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse (movie 4) Good Pretty cool.
Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody Decent Ehh..Bleach, though feels a bit like glorified filler.
Bleach: Memories in the Rain (OAV) Good Fits in well with the story, and is quite nice. I loved it.
Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion (movie 2) Good A great movie, especially if you like Hitsugaya (which you should)
Bleach: The Sealed Sword Frenzy (OAV) So-so A bit boring to be frank.
Blood-C (TV) Excellent The first, say, 6 episodes are a bit bland. Then it begins to catch up, and by the end it's like OH MY GOD then it ends. Stupendous.
Bloom Into You (TV) Very good A surprisingly heartfelt story of yuri love. Much more character development than I expected, would recommend.
Blue Drop (TV) Very good
Blue Exorcist (TV) Good
(The) Boy and The Beast (movie) Very good
Bunny Drop (TV) Excellent
Buso Renkin (TV) Very good
C – Control – The Money and Soul of Possibility (TV) Good
Castle in the Sky (movie) Excellent I'm a sucker for Ghibli stuff. I love the flight, I love the characters, I love the visuals, and I love the nonchalance it can have. It feels like the most Ghibli of the Ghiblis, and it's great.
Cat Planet Cuties (TV) Very good This is a pleasant, solid show. I'm surprised at the restraint, this could have been the most fanservicey, lame show, but it ended up being pretty nice. You won't regret it if you give it a shot.
A Certain Magical Index (TV) Excellent
A Certain Magical Index II (TV) Very good
A Certain Scientific Railgun (TV) Very good
Chivalry of a Failed Knight (TV) Excellent
Clannad (TV) Excellent
Clannad After Story (TV) Masterpiece A touching story of a man's life after high school. The entire series is rounded off in the last few episodes, which is emotionally wrenching, and utterly beautiful. The wittiness of the characters helps.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) Masterpiece
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (TV) Masterpiece
D.Gray-man (TV) Very good
Darker than Black (TV) Very good
Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor (TV) Good
Deadman Wonderland (TV) Excellent
Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (TV) Masterpiece
Dragonaut - The Resonance (TV) Very good
Eden of the East (TV) Very good An interesting work, but nothing makes it ground-breaking. A sort of jack of all trades in anime, it is still definitely worth watching.
Eden of the East: Paradise Lost (movie) Excellent
Eden of the East: The King of Eden (movie) Very good A bit mundane with some fun bits scattered around...but it sets up the story for the final showdown, and the end credits sound amazing.
Eureka Seven (TV) Excellent This captures a relationship that is exhilirating, realistic, and pure. The protagonist is an idiot, and our heroine is naive, but the series is one of the best shounen anime I have ever watched.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie) Very good
Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma (TV) Excellent
Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku (TV) Decent
Freezing (TV) Decent
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) Masterpiece Essentially an animated version of the manga, this is accurate practically to the dot to what happens in the original story. Considering how epic the manga is, there's little surprise to how wondrous this anime is.
(The) Garden of Words (movie) Masterpiece
Ghost Stories (TV) Very good
Giant Killing (TV) Very good
Gosick (TV) Masterpiece
Granblue Fantasy the Animation (TV) Excellent The show is pretty unoriginal, which is expected for a adaptation off of a phone game. What's not expected is just what a fun time this whole thing is! The execution is solid, the visuals are great, and the music is really strong! It helps it doesn't take itself too seriously. I eagerly await the second season.
Green Green (TV) Good
Guin Saga (TV) Very good
Gurren Lagann (TV) Good
.hack//SIGN (TV) Good
Hajime no Ippo (TV) Very good

Last Exile (TV) Excellent
(The) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OAV) Masterpiece
Love Hina (TV) Weak
Love Hina Again (OAV) Bad
Macross Frontier (TV) Very good A great space drama. It blends music into space war rather well, and, while corny at times, is ultimately satisfying.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (TV) Good
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (TV) Good
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Very good
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV 2009 renewal) Worst ever

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season (TV) Good
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed (TV) Excellent
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (TV) Good
Moonlight Lady (OAV) Very good
My Neighbor Totoro (movie) Masterpiece THE family movie. You'd have to be downright malicious to dislike this cuddly film.
Naruto (TV) Very good A very good series. OF course I skipped the filler, but who watches it? (By filler I mean the end filler, that meant NOTHING)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) Masterpiece
Needless (TV) Very good
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) Good
Nodame Cantabile (TV) Very good
Nodame Cantabile: Finale (TV) Excellent
Nodame Cantabile: Paris (TV) Very good
Noragami (TV) Very good
Noragami Aragoto (TV) Very good
Occult Academy (TV) Very good
Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions (TV) Very good
Okamikakushi - Masque of the Wolf (TV) Very good
Oreimo (TV) Very good
Pandora Hearts (TV) Very good
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ (TV) Excellent
Planetes (TV) Excellent
(The) Princess and the Pilot (movie) Very good
Princess Lover! (TV) Good
Princess Mononoke (movie) Excellent
Prism Ark (TV) Weak I thought this show might be good. But it...wasn't really good at all. It promised action, and gave mediocre character development...of characters that didnt do much of anything.
Queen's Blade 2: The Evil Eye (TV) Excellent
Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin (TV) Very good
Rage of Bahamut: Genesis (TV) Very good
RahXephon (TV) Excellent
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (TV) Excellent In a similiar vein as Clannad, a touching story with a likeable, not-a-moron protagonist, a healthy and fun to watch relationship, and a nice bit of humor mixed in. It's a pleasant slice of life that can tug the heartstrings, I recommend it.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV) Masterpiece
Record of Lodoss War (OAV) Excellent
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers (TV) Very good
Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection (OAV) Masterpiece
Saga of Tanya the Evil (TV) Very good
Saki (TV) Very good
Samurai Champloo (TV) Excellent
Samurai Harem (TV) Decent Meh. It was ok, I suppose. I wouldn't watch it again if given the choice, and can't say it was worth watching in the first place.
Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings (TV) Excellent
Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings (TV 2) Very good
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (TV) Good
Silver Spoon (TV) Excellent
Silver Spoon (TV 2) Excellent
Soul Eater (TV) Very good
Spice and Wolf (TV) Excellent
Spice and Wolf II (TV) Excellent
Spirited Away (movie) Excellent A tale of a young girl's growth, this is great to watch. Miyazaki combines fluid animation, classic story-telling and a cast of oddballs to make one of the most captivating films to come to the screen.
Star Driver (TV) Good
Strawberry Panic! (TV) Good
Student Council's Discretion (TV) Very good
Tales of the Abyss (TV) Very good
Tales of Zestiria the X (TV) Good
Tiger & Bunny (TV) Very good
Toradora! (TV) Excellent This begins as a mutual-I-help-you_you-help-me show, but it slowly twists into the two do-gooders falling in love, contrary to both of their initial wishes. A great show to watch.
(The) Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk (TV) Excellent This may be as stereotypical as they come, but it comes off as something far more than one might think. There's a magical element to this that makes seemingly average adventures feel lager-than-life. A great score is just chocolate on the...cake.
(The) Tower of Druaga: the Sword of Uruk (TV) Excellent
Tytania (TV) Bad
Umineko - When They Cry (TV) Excellent
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Masterpiece The best series I've ever watched, this scared the bejesus out of me with it's cute cast continually killing each other. This is an amazing prelude to the finale of the Kai arc, but until then, this will psychologically scar you like nothing else.
When They Cry - Kai (TV) Masterpiece This is simply heart-warming. After the excessive killing of the first season, you feel a certain kinship between the characters, and nothing shocks you more than when another thought to be death scene becomes rescue and rejoice.
When They Cry - Rei (OAV) Good
Wolf and the Amber-colored Melancholy (OAV) Excellent
(The) World God Only Knows (TV) Very good
(The) World God Only Knows Season Two (TV) Excellent
Yona of the Dawn (TV) Excellent
Yosuga no Sora - In solitude where we are least alone (TV) Very good A good anime, but be prepared for nudity, sex, and later incest. Hard as core.
your name. (movie) Masterpiece
Yowamushi Pedal (TV) Very good
