| 5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) |
Excellent |
would have rated a masterpiece except for the disjointed ending. Love story from firstly the couples perspective and then the onesided view of a girl classmate. |
| Akame ga KILL! (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Assassin anime...sad because you know whats going to ultimately happen...just not to who or how many. Steadily builds right up to the final climactic episode. There is feelz. action and no plot holes. Leaves you empty and wanting more 4.5/5 |
| Akira (movie) |
Excellent |
1988 forerunner to modern anime...and a classic. Outstanding futuristic storyline and graphic are a masterpiece in their own right. Facial 'dragonball z' like look detracts from characters. A little confusing at the end as to what is actually going on. These 2 things stop it form masterpiece status. 4.4/5 |
| Aldnoah.Zero (TV) |
Very good |
on Netflix. Animation is now dated, but storyline sci-fi makes it work.WTF ending of season 1 brilliant. Second season good, but a bit flat towards the end. Season 1 gets 4/5 |
| (The) Ambition of Oda Nobuna (TV) |
Very good |
helps if you know japanese feudal warlord history. Follows close to a true story...except male historical figures are female and protagonist is from the future giving loyalty and guidance. overall a good mix, but the romance just doesn't happen in a believable way.3.8/5 |
| And you thought there is never a girl online? (TV) |
Decent |
there are a lot better harem animes out there. MORPG setting waifu who can't tell game from reality.Cute... developes feelings for her, but last episodes concentrate on guild taking the castle, so romance sidelined. one or 2 good moments early on.3.6/5 |
| Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion (TV) |
Very good |
Historical Mongol invasion drama. Anime style with "ricepaper" finish to each frame...a little annoying. Story line and action sequences were very entertaining. Ending was a little unexpected. 4/5 |
| anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Oh the feelz...group of teenagers gradually come together to grant the wish of their dead childhood friends ghost. Builds till the end, never quite knowing what the actual wish is. they all find themselves and come to terms with individual selfishness. Exquisite. 4.7/5 |
| Another (TV) |
Excellent |
probably the best horror/whodunit anime i've seen since "Death Parade". So close to Masterpiece...misses out due to 2 glaring Plot exaggerations in the final episode climactic scenes. You get the Feelz and suspense and the shock factor(s). Revel in something different that really works 4.6/5
|
| Aoharu x Machinegun (TV) |
Decent |
girl gets roped into competitive paintball. Unfortunately paintball is great to play but boring to watch. Character emotional depths not deep enough to keep real interest. 3/5
|
| Attack on Titan (TV) |
Masterpiece |
one of the great animes.they do drag out the angst a bit in the second season, which is why i downpointed it.apart from that, brilliant in every way 4.8/5 |
| Berserk (TV 1997) |
Excellent |
dated animation, but outstanding story.Pulls no punches. The ending 2 episodes are literally "out of this world".you can see where modern anime got its inspiration from. 4.5/5 |
| Beyond the Boundary -I'LL BE HERE- Past (movie) |
Good |
epic girl with blood weapon helps guy save world from monster beyond boundary of reality. would have scores higher except that too much going on with too many characters/factions. no time for feelz generation and a bit too surreal at the end. 3.7/5
|
| Blood-C (TV) |
Very good |
The most epic blood and guts scenes of any anime i've seen. Decapitation/dismemberment and monsters eating people alive are the standard fair. story line is good with twist at the end. would rate better if Feelz for the characters were more developed 4/5 |
| Boarding School Juliet (TV) |
Good |
|
| Btooom! (TV) |
Good |
trapped on an island blowing each other up. Good storyline 3.9/5 |
| Calamity of a Zombie Girl (ONA) |
Not really good |
very much like a b grade horror movie...and I do mean B grade. |
| Castle in the Sky (movie) |
Very good |
Ghibli's love of flying comes into its own.pirate goodguys....bad army officer and abandoned futuristic sky castle.Well done story...great for kids. 4/5 |
| Charlotte (TV 2015) |
Very good |
one of the 1st new wave animes i saw.originally rated it much higher till i found a lot of others better.Storyline in this works. superhero/highschool genre.good sci-fi story.4/5.one of the best of 2015. |
| Chivalry of a Failed Knight (TV) |
Decent |
harem/superpower genre. some 'fluff'/inuendo., but overall entertaining. Don't know if it deserves a second season tho 3.6/5 |
| Clannad (TV) |
Masterpiece |
2007 school harem love anime. 3 arcs over 22 episodes. Brilliant for the Feelz, the story lines and the slow burn love/friendship relationships. All the characters are likeable and unique. Their stories are not glossed over. Appearance of "starfish girl" in last 2 Arcs is unnecessary and a little annoying. cheapens her character. 4.6/5 |
| Clannad After Story (TV) |
Masterpiece |
from school to family life, work marriage & child. Brilliant etherial tragedy and uplifting ending. All characters are again exceptional....and so are the Feelz. Truly a Masterpiece. a touch disjointed between the worlds, but if you ponder it after watching, it makes "japanese' sense. 4.8/5 |
| Classroom of the Elite (TV) |
Very good |
highschool anime with a difference.Best students go to this school. Their alloweance depends on their points/rankings per class each month.of course D class wants to get A's position. each situation needs strategy and thought to advance. Characters are very good and not quite archetypal. Obviously a few seasons to come 4.1/5
|
| CROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon (TV) |
Good |
A girls sci-fi...and entertaining as well. the mistreatment of heroin and subsequent anger at her fate is well done. The maid turning up on her prison island annoys me ...could have been handled better and as such slipped to 3.8/5 |
| D-Frag! (TV) |
Masterpiece |
almost monty python in cartoon.completly warped and ROFLMAO. It builds from episode to episode. The 10 minute arguement where the girls are trying to convince the hero of the benefits/advantages of their pornographic computer game is a riot. 4.8/5 |
| Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV) |
Good |
futuristic vampire and minion story. feelz between them works and sci-fi imaging of enviornment does as well. entertaining 3.8/5 |
| DARLING in the FRANXX (TV) |
Excellent |
Thus anime rated outstanding till episode 16, when it took an unsatisfactory storyline direction. I have never seen an anime create so much hype/expectation/angst amongst the anime community from episode to episode. Best of 2018...best 2 girls, genuine feelz, really great story...could should have ben one of the all-time great Masterpiece Animes. 4.6/5 |
| Death March to The Parallel World Rhapsody (TV) |
Not really good |
mega Kirito like male and harem anime in alternative world/game. the leveling system is interesting...the rest poor. 2.5/5 |
| Death Note (TV) |
Masterpiece |
brilliant.The interplay between Light and L...cop and bad guy is enthralling.The content is supernatural. Its got everything except a love story.WARNING...only ever watch season 1...the second season is crap 4.9/5 |
| Death Parade (TV) |
Excellent |
Dark. different. thought provoking...i found it excellent. The storys and investigative technique are done well. may not be everyones cuppa, thats why only very good rating. 4.5/5
|
| Dragonar Academy (TV) |
Decent |
Boy finally gets dragon..Human female form with attitude. the harem story develops. entertaining and characters are a little more complex than most harem ones. would watch a second season.
3.7/5 |
| (The) Eden of Grisaia (TV) |
Very good |
sequel to the fruit of grisaia...the gang are back to rescue the hero. We dont see much of him till last episodes. His storyline past is shown, and all old and new comrades play their part. Could have been a bit more feelz, but a very good sequel none the less 4/5 |
| Elfen Lied (TV) |
Excellent |
Made 2004...animation dated, but outstanding story. Dark, sad,murders by dismemberment, split personality...the works. Mans cruelty from cradle to grave. Dragged a bit towards the end otherwise it would have rated masterpiece. 4.5/5 |
| ERASED (TV) |
Excellent |
This anime is brilliant for its "feelz" moments.Made by sword art online people. Dare you not to cry along with the 8yo girl and her bacon & eggs breakfast. Ending episodes dont quite work for me.4.1/5 |
| Eromanga Sensei (TV) |
Good |
all talk, no action tease series.It dose however have a decent storyline to follow and confronts a number of unusual emotions (so to speak). However, it quickly "dumbs down" after the first 4 episodes and becomes predictable.3.4/5
|
| Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) |
Masterpiece |
the best of the fate series. Archetypal characters everywhere. Rin tohsaka one of the best female anime characters of all. Keeps you guessing 4.6/5 |
| Fireworks, Should We See it from the Side or the Bottom? (movie) |
Very good |
A good coming of age love story anime. Not what i thought it was going to be and very pleasantly surprised. The ending left too much to the imagination and confusion was the result...hence very good instead of outstanding. 3.9/5 |
| Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma (TV) |
Masterpiece |
If you are a fan of MKR and Masterchef, then this is a must for you. Its got the lot. recipes, information,competition, humour and story line. The many chef student characters are dealt with exceptionally well...you know each by the end. "Glad you liked it!" 4.5/5 |
| Food Wars! The Second Plate (TV) |
Excellent |
2nd season. Concentrates on the cooking finals and grand finals competitions till ep.11. start seeing more of the originals from then, and the feelz come back. Still, It's all about the food and thats what makes this anime. Not as good as 1st season because of the competition aspect. 4.0/5 |
| Food Wars! The Third Plate (TV) |
Excellent |
more of the same food competition stuff that makes this such a good series. Added bonus of more development and input of the suporting characters.Bad guy not scary/ in your face enough. 4/5 |
| Freezing (TV) |
So-so |
if you like big blonde boobie, panty crutch shots and girl v girl fights...then this is for you. It's not for me. The male/boy protagonist i dislike a lot. he gets to freeze baddies only on occasion and the way he constantly yells "senpai' is really annoying. 2.5/5....just.
|
| From Up On Poppy Hill (movie) |
Very good |
Set in 1964 and studio ghibli make you feel that you are there.Girl & boy save school clubhouse, fall in love and find out they are brother/sister. All ends well when they find out they are not. Very entertaining and NOT cheap melodrama as it appears from my previous comments. Opening sequence worth a look as it shows how Studio Ghibli animate real movements to give sense of authenticity. 4/5 |
| (The) Fruit of Grisaia (TV) |
Excellent |
very good adult anime. 5 girls each with a different psycological problem/background and 1 james bond type who goes about solving them one by one. some take more episodes than others. all stories are feelz..if not a little archtypal (canibalism) and far fetched. 4.2/5 |
| Fuuka (TV) |
Decent |
An 'I have a dream...lets start a band' Anime with love triangle thrown in. far too predictable and only a slight Feelz at the end.3.2/5 |
| Gamers! (TV) |
Very good |
group of highschoolers bond and develop relationships over computergaming. Focus is on relationships and interaction between all 5 protagonists, so is multidimensional, never boring and quite funny in places. Last episode games synopsis is a letdown...bring on 2nd season. 4/5 |
| Gangsta. (TV) |
Good |
The violence and desperation themes in this anime work. Very much an American style underworld with good feelz from side characters (eg prostitute and doc) 3.8/5 |
| Garakowa -Restore the World- (movie) |
Excellent |
a 5 episode length anime movie. Visually stunning with a Feelz sci fi plot.Really quite cute. could be for kids except it deals with computer viruses, altenative world/reality and has to go into complex explanation of these.4.4/5 |
| GATE (TV) |
Excellent |
Really liked this. Modern day vs medieval warfare. politics. alliances. The charecters are entertaing and varied. Priestess Rory Mercury a standout...as well as the female JDF marine enforcer. Second season was hurried and badly finished.4.1/5 |
| Ghost in the Shell (movie) |
Excellent |
saw this after the live action version. Very cerebral sci-fi storyline with political machinations.The difference is that in the anime the Major has no real human emotions/connections. A bit dated now. but brilliant for its time {2001}. 4.0/5 |
| Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie |
Very good |
probably the best live Anime adaptation i have seen. Good since all live adaptations tend to be really bad.
|
| Girls und Panzer (TV) |
Masterpiece |
I absolutely love this. As a kid i was into ww2 tanks/aircraft/ships. Now you got teenage girls having interschool battles (no-one gets hurt) with all the different tanks- explaining the specs and +/- of each...and modifying them. an absolute riot. cant wait for the DVD movie 4.9/5 |
| Girls und Panzer der Film (movie) |
Masterpiece |
follows on from the series, and I would recommend you watch series before the movie in order you not miss any of the relationship givens between charecters. Brilliant. Starts with 30 mn tank battle...builds the "feelz" and ends with 45 min tank battle. Surprises, humor, honor...its got it all and doesnt dwell too long on anything.4.8/5.
|
| God Eater (TV) |
Very good |
action/fight packed.good sci-fi storyline.Man fuses with weapon to fight monsters. Develops well with different storylines coming together on queue. Pat creation storyline becomes a little annoying..interupting fights towards end of series. 4.1/5 |
| Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle (movie) |
Very good |
like this godzilla storyline...better than the original movies in my opinion. The 1st of 3 or 4 movies in the arc. 4/5
|
| Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (movie) |
Good |
more of the same godzilla style. Like th part where the giant godzilla is actualy only a small one for the one that turns up towards the end. Like most sequels, it is good but loses its impact as it never has the same excitement of the first.3.7/4 |
| Golden Kamuy (TV) |
Excellent |
storyline is good, but what makes this so special is the subjuect matter and setting. It deals a lot with the aboriginal japanese society and beliefs...without belittling them.Entertaining and informative at the same time.4.1/5 |
| Golden Time (TV) |
Very good |
one of the 1st love story anime series i watched...and still rates as one of the best. the themes/characters/settings are all very good and complex.Story is entertaining and different from the moment she hits him in the face with the roses 4.0/5 |
| A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd (TV) |
Good |
I liked this and originally rated it higher as it was one of the first in the genre I viewed. The mystery/investigation of the good shepherd well done, but characters somewhat 1 dimensional when you look back. 3.9/5 |
| Gosick (TV) |
Very good |
minature female sherlock holmes. her watson becomes her life.good whodunnit episodes in an unusual setting. the last episode very disjointed and rushed otherwise would have rated higher
4.2/5 |
| Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions (TV) |
Excellent |
very slow paced "trapped in a mmorpg" anime.because of this the character development and interaction is exquisite.lots of good "feelz' moments. Expect a second series that will fill characters out more and really bring the Feelz. a possible future masterpiece 4.5/5 |
| Haganai (TV) |
Very good |
a great 'schooll club" anime. Highlight is the infighting between 2 of the girls. A few feelz moments.The likeability of the characters makes this stand out from the mundane sameold.
4/5 |
| Haganai NEXT (TV) |
Excellent |
better than first season as the personalities develope more and scenario story takes on an extra dimension. 4.2/5 |
| Hi Score Girl (TV) |
Excellent |
This is a cute anime.The girl is his gamer rival barely says a word all season. He strives to better himself because of her, even when she is OS for a year. She has a privileged upbringing but is under a lot of expectation stress because of this. he is her only real friend and she is someone he actually comes to care about. 4.5/5 |
| High School DxD (TV) |
Good |
a bit 'pervy' to start with but settles down to a good story line in the last 6 episodes. finishes with a bang. Entertaining. 3.7/5 |
| High School of the Dead (TV) |
Very good |
If you like zombies...this is for you. surprisingly deep with good archtypal characters. Escape to safety episodes all work.blood & guts bits well done and with feelz when needed. if season 2 works a bit more on character interaction it will be excellent.4.2/5 |
| Hinamatsuri (TV) |
Excellent |
One of the surprise packet animes of 2018.Warped storyline, heartfelt comedy, loveable characters...this has the lot. Each episode broken into 2 sub-episodes.some genuine feelz moments. The last episode(s) set it up for another season. 4.2/5 |
| How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (TV) |
Good |
This would have received a higher rating except for the infamous 'gyencological" incident episode...which was completely unnessessary. Guy becomes overpowered MMORPG deamon lord, attracts harem and helps them out. 3.2/5/ |
| Howl's Moving Castle (movie) |
Excellent |
a brilliant imaginative movie...similar to "spirited away' in unusual storyline content. This makes it very entertaining, but just a bit confusing at times. the only other criticism is that it took a bit too long for the girls curse to be lifted. 4.6/5 |
| I want to eat your pancreas (movie) |
Very good |
This anime tries hard to give you the 'feelz', but falls a little short.the animation style is good,but not great for a movie. "Gum guy' and ex boyfriend were unnessessary. Her character development was excellent ,however and more could have been done with her best girlfriend than just a tag at the end. 3.5/5 |
| In Another World With My Smartphone (TV) |
Good |
Hero looks like KIRITO from SAO...even similar dress. Apart from that a good harem anime with unusual adventures. Helps that there is no limit to the number of wives he can have when he "grows up" 3.8/5 |
| In Search of the Lost Future (TV) |
Excellent |
a very good wtf is going on anime. develops very well at high school, not quite harem. paranormal investigation leads to time travel themes.Ending is definitly not what you would expect from episode 1. actual animation a little off. 4.3/5 |
| In This Corner of the World (movie) |
Excellent |
A very good slow paced Japanese rural life during the war anime. New daughter in-law gradually finds her place with the husbands family, experiencing the deprivations of war rationing and pain.loss of bombing raids. The climax of the story is their being indirectly affected by the hiroshima atomic bomb. 4.4/5 |
| Interviews with Monster Girls (TV) |
Good |
vampire/succubus/ dullahan/snow girl....all at school with curious young male teacher. Schoolgirl crushs and akward moments. But he actually cares and tries to understand/help them. Just a little too sugary to swallow.3.1/5 |
| IRODUKU: The World in Colors (TV) |
|
|
| Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV) |
Very good |
a great "dungeon anime'. querky characters (gods and Humans). weird setting. keeps you interested.amused. a bit of fluff here and there. It works well. 4.1/5 |
| Is This a Zombie? (TV) |
Very good |
good comedy/magic anime. zombie, necromancer,magiclad girl(s) and vampires. some genuine feelz moments...especially being unable to speak because the words cause death & pain...and feelings bring the bad guys. 4/5 |
| ISLAND (TV) |
Good |
Mystery guy on a Mystery island and its inhabitants starts out well...but soon falls into the too much happening/i'm confused trap. Then the alternative world of the future/time machine scenario just makes it too hard to be taken seriously, and you cease to care. 3.6/5 |
| Isuca (TV) |
Decent |
fighting spirits/use of "true'names harem aninme. Short and sweet (only 10 episodes). Any longer and would have rated less. 3.6/5 |
| Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade (movie) |
Excellent |
politics, subterfuge, sacrificial lambs...thid police style drama has the lot. Whilst dealing with police style paramilitary, it does not have too much action, concentrating on the various key player interactions. You don't know the real outcome till the very end. 4.5/5 |
| Just Because! (TV) |
Decent |
1st episode was a beauty! A slow burner romance that promised so much...and then failed to deliver. Apathetic main characters taking forever to express their emotions for each other. The "drama" of university exams...wow. It could have been good but ended slow and disappointing. 2.7/5 |
| Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (TV) |
Good |
started out brilliantly, then faded as the new episodes came along. Story was good. Maybe too many plot/story lines to concentrate on left most of the characters not filled out enough. Too many surprise developements to save the day left overall story disjointed.3.5/5 |
| KanColle (TV) |
So-so |
Girls anime. they are waterskating ships. 3.3/5 |
| Kanon (TV 1/2002) |
Very good |
An "it's all a dream" (but who's) anime. Can see where "Clannad" got its influence from. seasons totaling 24 Eps. Cute, sometimes drawn out Harem anime. All the characters are important, though you sometimes wonder how & why things happen.The feelz not quite there. 4/5 |
| Kanon (TV 2/2006) |
Good |
Rates very highly, but i couldn't get into it. Lone boy/school/harem anime. 3.5/5
|
| Kiznaiver (TV) |
Excellent |
Adult psycological drama anime. One of the 2016 best. Develops the building of friendships through shared experiences... including Love and pain. The idea is very good and done well.The 8 characters a little too querky, and final reconcilliation scenes needed more filling out & feelz. 4.0/5 |
| Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu (movie) |
Very good |
|
| KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! 2 (TV) |
Good |
not quite the impact as the 1st season, but the humor is still there. Some episodes are better than others. Special mention for the opening credit sequence. 3.7/5 |
| KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!! (TV) |
Very good |
Story is a delight, and entertains easily without taking itself too seriously. the characters are genuinely querky, and the humour works well. some (eg mage colapsing everytime she used explosive magic) carried a bit too far.4.1/5 |
| Laid-Back Camp (TV) |
Very good |
aka "yuru camp'. feel good cute anime about highschool girls and the joy of camping around Mt fuji. I likes solo camping in winter...the others camp club group camping. not much happens, but the anination and characters are charming.3.9/5 |
| A Letter to Momo (movie) |
Decent |
A bit slow paced. Girl moves to island with mum and meets 3 guardian spirits only she can see. Not much happens. she gets to say goodbye to her dead dad and learns to jump off a bridge with her friends. 3.4/5 |
| Lights of the Clione (TV) |
Decent |
attempted tearjerker. Bullied girl makes frinds and dissapears into a hospital for months. Via mysterious text message they all meet up at summer festival (even the bully crowd) where she has fun with the 2 friends again...and then runs away to die. saw it coming a mile off. 3.2/5 |
| Log Horizon (TV) |
Good |
Another SAO attempt. Slow start as characters introduced.Concentrates mainly on the game they are trapped in and the fight/politic strategies for control and society building. Like an action/drama suspense series. 4/5 |
| Lord Marksman and Vanadis (TV) |
Decent |
Super archer lord hero captured by baddies team to take on real baddies and save his realm. Animation and characters good, but story a bit kitch .Good explaination of battle tactics. 3.5/5 |
| Love and Lies (TV) |
Decent |
Started out with a very good storyline. Animation style a bit too 'big-eye-small-mouth' .Quickly turned into 3 way love triangle with marriage the ultimate goal. AND THEN THE ENDING stuffed it all. No decision. Very unsatisfying and turned a very good rating into a just decent. 3/5 |
| Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! (TV) |
Excellent |
started out 6/10 ond finished 10/10.couple of lol moments.Querky, tender love story.All suport characters excellent. Big sister a riot.deals with an over the top topic in a very good entertaining way. overall rating 4.6/5 |
| Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! -Heart Throb- (TV) |
Very good |
almost as good as the first series.relationship develops to the "almost kissing" stage.Much more background/detail on support characters. downpointed only because hero's mate basically ignored this season and written off as "gay" maybe. 4.3/5.Another series when? |
| Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions: Rikka Takanashi Version (movie) |
Excellent |
movie 1st season summary of 'love. chunibyo & other delusions". very well done 4.3/5
|
| A Lull in the Sea (TV) |
Excellent |
4 sea kids have to school on mainland because their school closed due to lack of students. Their emotional journeys along with 4 others (older and younger) play out amongst the pressures of a declining sea community & traditions...which is a refreshing change from the norm. 4/5 |
| Made in Abyss (TV) |
Excellent |
great original storyline. Excellent Animation...what looks like a kids adventure is deifinitely not. A strange world with genuinely dangerous beasts (and human-oid?s). Blood/broken bone/euthanasia you name it...it's raw and somewhat moving. The protagonists maybe a little too young for too long, otherwise almost masterpiece. 4.5/5
|
| Megalobox (TV) |
Excellent |
boxing anime in the style of cowboy bebop. Rags to riches storyline with Yakuza and big corporation involvement as well. Defending champ is a good guy as well. Think Rocky & Apollo Creed. 4.1/5 |
| (The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) |
Good |
started well...with timetraveler/esp er/android characters trying to keep lead girl amused/happy...but it should have developed a LOT more. Ended up being a series of highschool adventures with the gang in tow and never really went anywhere. disappointing. 3.5/5 |
| (The) Moment You Fall in Love (movie) |
Good |
gets "good" rating because it delivers the Feelz. But fails in almost every other aspect. Plot holes, Characters introduced only to disappear forever, wimpy love interest you almost see more of in the opening song montage. Feels like a lot of it was left on the cutting room floor...Including the up in the air ending. |
| Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls (TV) |
Good |
also called 'everyday life with monster girls". An erotic comedy anime. The characters (girl monsters) are interesting, but a bit too sexual for comfort. Storyline was good though 3.5/5 |
| My Little Monster (TV) |
Very good |
Fun teen highschool rom-com with some genuinely lol moments particularly in the first couple of episodes, Then gets down to relationships. Girl turns out to be a bit cold and the guy a bit too "buffoon" at the ending for my liking, Still, excellent...4.1/5 |
| My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy (TV) |
Decent |
choices are too purile...so a good idea languishes 2.5/5 |
| My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Thinking man's anime.Psycological themes.with disjointed, flawed yet likeable characters. Probably the best of the 'school club' genre...yet not what you think.I found this outstanding and cannot wait till the make season 3......4.7/5 |
| My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO! (TV) |
Masterpiece |
see above...4.7/5 |
| My Wife is the Student Council President (TV) |
Decent |
almost pornographic in content. only thing missing was full frontal nudity and it would have been classified as hentai. having said that, it was entertaining if not cliche'd.12 x 10 minute short episodes, and you still get some feelz/character developement. 3.6/5 |
| Myriad Colors Phantom World (TV) |
Good |
started really well then degenerated into fairytail stories.Last 2 episodes very good. Special abilities vs monster (spirits) anime. No real feelz, but likeable characters and great animation & imagination.3.5/5 |
| Mysterious Girlfriend X (TV) |
Very good |
Animation style not the best, but there is something about this that draws you in and keeps you watching. Really just an awakening sexuality tease...but it works. Girl a little too dominant/non-affectionate...but this brings out sense of desperation in the boy quite well. 4/5 |
| Nanana's Buried Treasure (TV) |
Good |
mix of crime thriller, ghost story and mysterys. A good mix on a futuristic island complete with baddie towards the end. 3.7/5 |
| Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) |
Excellent |
The only things stopping this from being a masterpiece are the dated animation style and lack of real minor character developement/empathy. Story subject matter and future world ideas are absolutely brilliant. 4.6/5 |
| Nisekoi - False Love (TV) |
Very good |
one of the better school love trapped animes. It works. good characters. 4.1/5 |
| Nisekoi: (TV 2) |
Good |
more characters introduced and elaborated.still good tho.3.9/5 |
| No Game, No Life (TV) |
Excellent |
thinking man's anime. A world run by gamers rules and the really good gamers have all the advantages. Classic intellectual contests for lives and land. Subplot interaction is humerous between main characters. 4.5/5 |
| Ouran High School Host Club (TV) |
Excellent |
This is genuinely funny. sitcom at its zaniest. Then it developes as they all start to relate to her and all their freindships develope as a result. 4.4/5 |
| Patema Inverted (movie) |
Excellent |
A really well done story on a difficult premise. Boy and girl...ones right way up, the others upside down (inverted)...but which is which and when in what world? deals with visual (animated) and emotional perspective brilliantly. The still 15 second picture montages showed a bit of animated lazyness and this plus a slightly confusing ending climax meant it just didn;t quite make masterpiece rating. 4.6/5 |
| (The) Pet Girl of Sakurasou (TV) |
Masterpiece |
read the plot summary. enjoy the feelz. the ending is very well done. 4.7/5 |
| A Place Further Than the Universe (TV) |
Excellent |
4 girls become friends and take an expedition to Anrarctica. excellent Animation. Story concentrates on the emotional journey of each of them, Feel good anime...one of the best ones. 4.1/5
|
| Plastic Memories (TV) |
Excellent |
good sci-fi android anime. the Feelz from having to say goodbye to a companion when their contract is up are created very well...and when it has to happen to him and the workmate he becomes attached to...The final episode is done very well in my opinion. 4.4/5 |
| Princess Mononoke (movie) |
Excellent |
Purchased the DVD and have seen it twice. outstanding storyline and animation. only reason i would downpoint it was the length. a little too long to keep your attention, having been bombarded by brilliance. 4.6/5 |
| Princess Principal (TV) |
Excellent |
what a very pleasant surprise this anime turned out to be.great mix of past & futuristic background to good spy mission stories and very nice characters. The action is good and intriguing, as are the personal stories behind each of the 5 girl spys. Bad guy will obviously be developed more next season. special mention to closing credits song.4.4/5 |
| Prison School (TV) |
Good |
WARNING pornographic content. If you can see past that, then this is a fun, full on anime with some serious lol moments. female dominatrix themes.Strangely compelling 4.1/5 |
| Psychic School Wars (movie) |
Decent |
well done animation. Characters drawn well and could get some of the 'feelz' from them...If I knew what the hell was going on. There is such a thing as being too deep. By the time I got it, it was too late and became even more disjointed. Still...not bad 3.2/5 |
| Pupa (TV) |
Not really good |
very short 5 minute episode horror anime. Girl turns into bug and eats people, brother constantly regenerates so she eats her fill of him each day. never really goes anywhere and the ending episodes are all over the place...you dont know whats going on. 2.2/5
|
| Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (TV) |
Very good |
gods/humans/demons...girl morphs into dragons and gets involved with the conflict. some interesting support characters incl. Bacchus,goose,zombie girl. Subtle and funny. Her personality is endearing and always positive.nd season will be good. 3.9/5 |
| Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (TV) |
Excellent |
|
| Re:CREATORS (TV) |
Very good |
Unusual and well made. Lots of characters from alternative worlds to keep track of. Big battle to climax the second season when released.the storyline is complex,but good.no feelz.3.8/5 |
| Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV) |
Masterpiece |
2016 anime series...by far the best for the year.It is deep.And complex. and thoroughly enjoyable. Alternate world, death and respawn,political intrigue along with querky lovestories and a protagonist you don't always like/respect. Good badguys and over the top bad badguys .Did I mention magic?bring on next season 4.8/5 |
| Record of Grancrest War (TV) |
Decent |
24 episode rags to emperor epic. Battle scenes and tactics the highlights. 1 notable wtf moment when crown princess willingly gives up virginity in alliance with bad lord. Generally though, too drawn out/predictable. Done before better 3.7/5
|
| Redline (movie) |
Good |
A good story idea. Animation different but good.Story a bit disjointed with too many subcharacters too keep up with the fast paced action. Didn't know if some were alive or dead after the crashes/car destruction...and some should have been. 3.5/5 |
| ReLIFE (TV) |
Excellent |
28yo guy gets to "relife" another final year in highschool in order to change for the better. Slow burner that works mainly due to the other classmates stories the 4 episode OVA in 2018 finalises the love story. not too big on the feelz, but very satisfying dtoyline and ending.4.1/5 |
| Robotics;Notes (TV) |
Excellent |
This really surprised me. Started out as your standard good school club anime, but by episode 16 you had conspiracy/murder/feelz...the works. ending episodes were not over the top. All it needed was a good love side story.4.2/5 |
| Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honnêamise (movie) |
Very good |
Made in 1987...animation and storyline are exceptional. A little disjointed in relationship with girl, but is deep and comes together with a point at the very end. 4.1/5 |
| Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend (TV) |
Very good |
a very good "game creation" anime.hard to describe, but everything works.1 guy...the geek producer,4 girls each with their game creationroles. a bit of body/flirting...but the joy is in their respective personalities. endearing.4.1/5 |
| Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend Flat (TV) |
Excellent |
better than the 1st season because of personality development/maturity of all the characters. one of the best endings (last 2 episodes) of an anime series I've seen. Feelz. 4.4/5 |
| Saga of Tanya the Evil (TV) |
Excellent |
The standout of the early 2017 season.Atheist reincarnated into young girls body ans sent to war by a vengeful god.(an alternative european WWI).For aeroplanes read 'flying mages'.Description and implementation of battle tactics very good...as are the representations of the horrors of war and non empathy of the officer classes. 4/5 |
| Scum's Wish (TV) |
So-so |
Mills & boon in anime form. Stops just short of being pornographic. The origin story of the 2 mains getting together whilst they try to xxxx their respective crushs is just an excuse. 2.5/5 |
| Seiren (TV) |
Good |
Hero boy grows in relationships with school classmates (girls) till he eventually gets the one he wants. lots of character groups and this along with regularchanges to main stoyline serves only to confuse who is what to whom.3.3/5
|
| Seven Senses of the Reunion (TV) |
Good |
A hard anime to comment on.There are good things/characters and bad ones. get the feeling that if the group was only 4 instead of 6 (ie not include the last 2 to arrive in the story) it would have been a lot better and more cohesive.3.7/5 |
| SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (TV) |
Good |
a little bit pottymouth and infantile (wearing girls undies on head),but the futuristic setting and genuine attempts at good humor work...as do the characters. 3.9/5 |
| A Silent Voice (movie) |
Excellent |
Deaf girl bullied by boy at school. Boy ends up being ostracised by classmates. Runs into her a few years? later, and relationship developes. Visually stunning and storyline/plot hard to fault...but just tries a little too hard to get the Feelz going. 4/5/5 |
| Snow White with the Red Hair (TV 2) |
Very good |
slow paced love story.girl flees county and becomes herbalist and loved by all. The feelz are good with this anime. characters interesting and well developed. drama and action not over the top. Just a good anime all round. 4/5 |
| Sound! Euphonium (TV) |
Very good |
good steady 1st seson storyline. Can relate as played in Band in highschool. The stars are the characters and their interaction. Not over the top.Growth in relationships/personalities.A little slow at times. 4.0/5 |
| SSSS.Gridman (TV) |
Very good |
|
| Summer Wars (movie) |
Excellent |
a great blend of new and old japan, with save-the-world storyline thrown in, A little bit more action & romance 7 feelz would have made this a masterpiece 4.5/5 |
| Sunday Without God (TV) |
Excellent |
Brilliant. story completely different from any other genre, The "ominous" sense and underlying sadness of the subject goes through all 3 story arcs.you just cannot predict what will happen...or how.Undead, gravekeepers, ghosts,parallel worlds,immortals,humans,gods...its got the lot. 4.5/5
|
| Sword Art Online (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Everything about this anime is brilliant.Had a profound affect on me.have seen the series twice.Perhaps the greatest lovestory on film I have seen. 5/5 |
| Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (TV) |
Decent |
The original GGO arc was much better. This one is more 'child like' and you never get the sense of horror or fear of someone really dying that the creators were going for. all the characters except the lead were a bit shallow and underdeveloped . An inferior expansion of a good original concept.3.6/5
|
| Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale |
Excellent |
movie meets expectations. Creates the Feelz for Asuna but misses the 'slow burn" intensity you get from a long series.Animation and story line brilliant. Brings most of the characters in the older series into play. (maybe too many of them in the final fight scene).Very well done for a Movie. 4.2/5
|
| Sword of the Stranger (movie) |
Good |
Anime style a little dated. Funny how the mings look European.political intrigue...escort quest becomes save me quest. The last long battle scenes are well done.3.7/5 |
| Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike (movie) |
Good |
a good if not shallow movie. Some characters need to be 'fleshed' out a bit, and some (like the princess) make you wonder why included at all. If you played Vesperia game or saw other vesperia animes...maybe it would have made a bit more sense. 3.5/5 |
| Tari Tari (TV) |
Good |
storyline is standard highschool club stuff...but you actually get slightly involved with characters and almost develope the Feelz.3.6/5 |
| Teasing Master Takagi-san (TV) |
Good |
2 or 3 story episodes of girl teasing boy competitions. she always wins. she really likes him and he gradually realises he like her. The Manga is a better way to follow this very good story...it tells you what happens to them in the future. 3.5/5 |
| (The) Testament of Sister New Devil (TV) |
Good |
if you like hentai without the genitals, them this is for you. apart from that, the story is good and flows well.Keeps you interested, but nothing real special.3.3/5 |
| That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TV) |
Good |
|
| Toradora! (TV) |
Excellent |
one of my favorites.Netflix...seen it twice. just a good lovestory with a lot going on. Archetypal characters;;;palmtop tiger reminds me of the wife; 4.5/5 |
| Trinity Seven (TV) |
Good |
mage school harem anime....but a good one. A little "perverted", but story line is a very good example of its genre and goes along at a good pace without being too "over the top'. 3.8/5 |
| Tsukigakirei (TV) |
Excellent |
A subtle, slow paced teen first romance anime...and a good one.Never over the top. The viewer gets just as frustrated with the couples akwardnes/shyness as they do. The feelz is there. In my opinion the last episode stuffs it up...a bit more of a dramatic climax would have been very good, and the end life story montage with phone text could have been longer and done better.4.1/5
|
| Tsuredure Children (TV) |
Very good |
4 different stories...but one stays in the head .The one where the class rep catches the class wildcat smoking and cons her into becoming his girlfriend. 3.8/5 |
| Uma Musume Pretty Derby (TV) |
Very good |
why does this work? horse girls train, make friends and race. They watch their weight, eat carrots, have ears and a tail, nail horseshoes to their regular shoes...and generally make you feel good. The winner of the race has to host the concert at the end of the day btw. Warped, but very entertaining 4/5
|
| Violet Evergarden (TV) |
Excellent |
the Animation is outstanding. some genuinely beautiful moments. the story angst is designed to tear at the heartstrings for the Feelz and almost works. She is just a touch too cold and the tried for the feelz a touch too hard for it to be a masterpiece. aq second series with her as she has evolved to now might get there.4.3/5 |
| When Marnie Was There (movie) |
Excellent |
Ghibli does it again. A slow paced "ghost" story of sorts concentrates on the emotions of a troubled athsmatic 12 yo girl sent to the country. Not too deep, but very entertaining storyline with twist at the end. 4.1/5 |
| Wolf Children (movie) |
Very good |
girl falls in love with wolfman...has kids..he dies...she moves to country and raises them. The feelz was not there enough to rate as a great anime, but animation and storyline were exceptional.Like the part where the kids have to choose the separate paths 3.8/5 |
| WorldEnd (TV) |
Excellent |
Great alternative world story.Last of the humans...suicide fighting fairys...love story. what more could you want. A little childlike in outlook, but it all comes into focus last 2 episodes where the Feelz really gets you and leaves you looking for more. an extra episode or 2 to fill in a few glossed over plot holes and this would have rated Masterpiece. 4.2/5 |
| Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (TV) |
Very good |
Surprisingly good school/magic/harem anime. Tough guy collects the 7 witches and their powers together...finds love in the process. Each different power is both a blessing and a curse. Well done with a good storyline and a touch of the feelz. 3.9/5 |
| Yosuga no Sora - In solitude where we are least alone (TV) |
Good |
Sex. lots of it. tastefully done with no genital shots. basically 4 different alternative world story lines with the male protagonist and 4 different girls...one of which is his twin sister. explores the complexity of teen desire and relationships. Story however is all over the place.3.8/5 |
| Your Lie in April (TV) |
Masterpiece |
why do iI love this anime so much! I have no interest in piano/violin.classical music. It just works. The joy of young life is palpable.story is brilliant. ending cannot but fail to bring tears to the eyes. even the annoying facial animations (particularly hers) cannot detract 4.9/5 |
| your name. (movie) |
Masterpiece |
brilliant graphics... brilliant storyline...great twist all handled masterfully. 4.9/5 |
| Yowamushi Pedal (TV) |
Excellent |
I love the tour de france. I learnt more about cycling watching 2 episodes of this than three years watching the tour. Cycling in detail, with the japanese ability to drag out angst thrown in. Way too many episodes tho. a really good sports anime. Only if you are interested in cycling tho. 4.3/5 |
| Zombie Land Saga (TV) |
