| Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san (TV) | Decent | |
| XxxHOLiC the Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream | Good | More of Yuuko and Co. doing their thang. Forgettable plot but some cool dream-like imagery. |

| Project A-Ko (movie) | Good | Not the funniest thing ever, but I love the quirkiness. |

| Porco Rosso (movie) | ||
| Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (movie) | Good | |
| Pom Poko (movie) | Good | Great visuals, fun story, and memorable scenes (Two words: "Operation Specter") on one hand. Preachiness and flat characters on the other. (BTW, it's a treat hearing Maurice LaMarche narrate in his "Brain" voice.) |
| Pokemon 3 - The Movie | Decent | |
| Please Save My Earth Music Image Video: Kin-Iro no Toki Nagarete (special) | Very good | |
| Please Save My Earth (OAV) | Not really good (dub), Masterpiece (sub) | |

| Pale Cocoon (OAV) | Good | |
| Otaku no Video (OAV) | Decent | |
| Oruchuban Ebichu (TV) | Very good | One of the funniest anime I've ever seen (NSFW, though). The Ebichuman episodes are solid gold. |
| (The) Order to Stop Construction (movie) | Very good | |
| One Pound Gospel (OAV) | Decent | |
| On Your Mark (movie) | Excellent | |

| Night on the Galactic Railroad (movie) | Very good | |
| Neo-Tokyo (movie) | Very good | |
| Neko no Shūkai (special) | 1-minute short about cats. | |
| Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) | Very good | The yang to Princess Mononoke's yin. While PM is more sophisticated, I like Nausicaa more. It has a raw immediacy that its successor lacks. |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (TV) | Good | I like to think of it as XXXHolic's more sophisticated, laid-back cousin. |
| My Neighbor Totoro (movie) | Excellent | |
| Mushi-Shi (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Mt. Head (movie) | So-so | |
| Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit (TV) | Excellent (dub & sub) | |

| Metropolis (movie) | Decent | |
| Memories (movie) | Very good | |
| (The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) | Very good | Hated the first three episodes. Got hooked by episode 4, and by the time the band started playing "God Knows" in ep 14 I didn't want it to end. |
| Megazone 23 Part III (OAV) | So-so | |
| Megazone 23 Part II (OAV) | Good | |

| Macross Plus (OAV) | Very good | |
| Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (TV) | Good | |
| Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy (movie) | Good | 73 minutes of Lupin and the gang monkeying around scenic Japan. What's not to like? (And I do mean scenic--the backgrounds are gorgeous!) |

| Jumping (movie) | Good | |
| Howl's Moving Castle (movie) | Very good | |
| Hellsing (TV) | Decent | The plot is mediocre (especially toward the end), and Alucard is a God Mode Sue. But the chemistry between the 4 leads is a joy to watch, and lifts the series beyond the sum of its parts. |
| Gunbuster (OAV) | Very good | |
| Grrl Power (OAV) | Decent | Kinda preachy toward the end, but mostly amusing. The cheerleading scene is a riot. |
| (The) Green Cat (OAV) | Decent | |
| Grave of the Fireflies (movie) | Excellent | |
| (The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie) | ||
| Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (movie) | So-so | |
| Ghost in the Shell (movie) | Very good | |
| Genius Party (movie) | Decent | Confusing but fun. The art style reminds me of The Maxx. |
| Garzey's Wing (OAV) | Decent | Hilariously bad! Any fan of unintentional humor should see this at least once. |
| Fumoon (movie) | Decent | Hokey yet strangely riveting old Tezuka special. |
| Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) | Very good | An all-time favorite, though the manga is better. |
| FLCL (OAV) | Very good (dub & sub) | |

| Egao (special) | Decent | |
| Drop (movie) | Decent | |
| Dragon Half (OAV) | Decent | |
| Dracula: Sovereign Of The Damned (special) | Decent | Even sillier than Garzey's Wing, though not as quotable. |
| Dr. Pinoko no Mori no Bōken (movie) | So-so | Isn't this the kind of thing Lemony Snicket warned us about? |

| Cowboy Bebop: The Movie | Decent | |
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) | Excellent | I like it, respect it, but didn't relate to it either. Will rewatch eventually. |
| Cosmos Pink Shock (OAV) | So-so | |
| Comedy (OAV) | Decent | |
| (The) Cockpit (OAV) | Decent | |
| Clover (special) | Good | |
| Cipher (OAV) | So-so | Unusual, in that it was recorded entirely in English. Don't miss the behind-the-scenes featurette after the credits. |
| Cencoroll (movie) | Decent | |
| Catnapped! The Movie | Decent | |
| Cat Soup (OAV) | ||
| Castle in the Sky (movie) | So-so | |
| Cannon Fodder (movie) | Good | |
| Call Me Tonight (OAV) | Decent | Cheerful 80's-era spoof of tentacle porn. |
| California Crisis: Gun Salvo (OAV) | Decent | Nifty art style, unique setting and...that's all there is to it really. |
| Bubblegum Crisis (OAV) | Decent | |
| Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) | Good | |
| Black Rock Shooter (OAV) | Good | |
| Black Magic M-66 (OAV) | Good | |
| Black Jack: The Two Doctors Of Darkness (movie) | So-so | Blah. At least Kiriko was in it, so it wasn't a total loss. |
| Black Jack The Movie | So-so (sub), Excellent (dub) | Like the OAV, only with higher production values and less love-interest BS. A rare case of the English dub having the better acting. |
| Black Jack Final (OAV) | Very good | |
| Black Jack 21 (TV) | Good | Black Jack meets The Fugitive meets an 8th-grader's fanfic. Ridiculous even by this franchise's standards, but never boring. |
| Black Jack (OAV) | Excellent | An all-time favorite. I love the dub too, questionable dialouge changes and all. |
| Black Cat (TV) | Not really good | |
| Beyond (OAV) | ||
| Battle Angel (OAV) | Decent | |
| Azumanga Web Daioh (ONA) | Decent | |

| (The) Animatrix (OAV) | So-so | |
| Animation Runner Kuromi (OAV) | So-so | |
| Angel's Egg (movie) | Very good | |
| Angel Densetsu (OAV) | Very good | Hilarious OAV about not judging a book by its cover. |
| Angel Beats! (TV) | Good | |
| Alien Nine (special) | Excellent (dub & sub) | The show's greatest strength is the overwhelming sense of unease. Even in the happier scenes, there's always a sense of something wrong beneath the surface. |
| Akira (movie) | Excellent | |
| Air (TV) | Decent | |
| Air (movie) | Not really good | There are three problems with this movie. (1) Like most films based on TV shows, the plot is rushed and many of the best characters and subplots were cut out. (2) Osamu Dezaki was the wrong guy to direct this. His bombastic approach just doesn't go with such a tender story. (3) The ending is contrived. The characters all acted like idiots for the sole purpose of making that ending happen. |
| Aeon Flux (U.S. TV) | Very good |
