Seen some Rating Comment
3x3 Eyes (OAV) Good I don't know why more people haven't seen 3x3 Eyes. It's got some quality animation, an unusual (and interesting) plot, and Megumi Hayashibara voicing Pai. What's there not to like?
8 Man (TV) So-so Probably the worst of the 60s TV shows I've ever seen.
A.D. Police (TV) Weak Urgh.
AD Police (OAV) Very good Classic, and I'm sure my memory's tainted, but although I enjoyed it, I find myself much preferring Bubblegum Crisis
(The) Adventures of Mini-Goddess (TV) Good Cute, but didn't hold my attention.
Adventures of Puss-in-Boots (TV) So-so Only saw 1 episode. Seemed like nothing special.
After War Gundam X (TV) Weak Meh. Gundam.
Agent Aika (OAV) Bad If I want hentai, I'll go look for hentai. If I want fanservice, I'll go look for some more realistic-looking fanservice.. a bit too extreme for my tastes.
Ai no Kusabi (OAV) Weak Pretty character designs... but ... no, I find it a bit distasteful.
Ai to Yūki no Pig Girl Tonde Būrin (TV) So-so Cute, but I only saw one episode.
Ai Yori Aoshi (TV) Excellent I love the opening theme to this.. but for some reason I never place the theme until they reach the chorus. At any rate, it's a shame that fanservice ruined what could've been a decent romance. Oh well, there's plenty of other titles out there.
Aim for the Ace! (TV) Good Not something most people will see, and not exactly well-animated by modern standards, Aim for the Ace still seems like one of the more powerful sports anime I've seen. Princess Nine and Prince of Tennis are comparable.
Air Master (TV) Awful No. One episode was more than enough for me. :p
Akachan to Boku (TV) Good Cute story about a boy raising his kid brother, because no one else can. Having 4 siblings of my own, I can relate.
(The) Alps Story: My Annette (TV) Good Cute, endearing story that unfortunately looks exactly like Heidi, Katri and all those other "Person of the Place" World Masterpiece Theater shows.
Amon Saga (OAV) Weak
Android Ana Maico 2010 (TV) Decent I hear this is supposed to get pretty perverse later in the series, but I hadn't seen that far, apparently.
Angel Cop (OAV) Not really good Nothing can save Angel Cop from being a hum-drum action series.
Angel Links (TV) Weak Although based in the same universe as Outlaw Star, it doesn't really match up to its predecessor anime series.
Angel Sanctuary (OAV) Bad Angels and brother-sister love? It's good fangirl fodder, but the whole "I love you so much it doesn't matter what society thinks" love interest bit is over-the-top.. Maybe I'll revisit it, in 20 years when I'm more open-minded.
Angel Tales (TV) Not really good
Angelic Layer (TV) Very good Picked up the R2s on this series, and am anxiously looking forward to seeing ADV release this. Shonen CLAMP.. what can possibly go wrong?
(The) Animatrix (OAV) Decent
Anime TV de Hakken! Tamagotchi Worst ever
Aqua Age (TV) Decent
Aquarian Age - Sign for Evolution (TV) Decent Saw one episode. The animation looked nice, but the story didn't seem to go anywhere so I stopped watching it. Might be worth re-considering when ADV releases it.
Arc the Lad (TV) Good I can't believe I watched the first 5 DVDs of this. Where's the story? Do the last handful of episodes actually put the plot into some semblence of order? Maybe I should play the games instead?
Area 88 (OAV) Decent How can I NOT enjoy the anime that the SNES game "UN Squadron" is based off of? It's got an interesting plot, and the animation isn't terrible, but I just couldn't enjoy the characters very well...
Argento Soma (TV) Bad Maybe they were trying to hide the plot with weak animation? Got me...
Armor Hunter Mellowlink (OAV) Weak Pass. :p
Armored Trooper Votoms (TV) Not really good Just got this on VHS, saw the first episode... Not particularly brilliant, but it was cheap. You get what you pay for, I suppose.
Art of Fighting (special) Bad Yeah... A $500 reward turns into... er... THIS? Dude, it's not worth it.
Ashita e Free Kick (TV) Weak
Ashita no Joe (TV) Good
Ashita no Nadja (TV) Not really good With wonky character designs, it certainly seems like it'd take a while to get used to...
Astro Boy (TV 2/1980) Very good I saw two episodes of this, (dubbed in French, I believe) when I was 6 years old. I spent many years trying to figure out what this series was called, and finally found it earlier this year when I mentioned it offhandedly in the forums.
Astro Boy (TV 1/1963) Decent Everyone should at least watch some of the original, to see where anime has come from, to where it is today. Those interested in animation should also look closer at early Disney and Warner Bros animation to see how this medium has evolved over the years.
Aura Battler Dunbine (TV) Decent It's old in the same way Robotech is old.. and it's good, in the same way that Robotech is good... but it lacks the nostalgic feel of Robotech..
Ayane's High Kick (OAV) Weak
B't X (TV) Weak The manga looked impressive enough at times... but ultimately never caught my interest. Same applies to the TV series.
Babel II (OAV) Weak Fell asleep 15 minutes into this...
Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! (TV) Not really good When I first saw this, I instantly thought of Speed Racer. Maybe there's some redeeming qualities to racing anime, but if there are, I've yet to find them.
Banner of the Stars (TV) Excellent More of the same excellent stuff you'd expect to find from the Crest of the Stars series.
Battle Athletes (OAV) Good Somewhat higher production values than the TV series, but this never really caught my attention for more than a passing glance.
Battle Athletes Victory (TV) Decent Same as the OVA, this never really caught my attention.
Battle Royal High School (OAV) Very good I feel bad for AnimEigo at times. They get stuck with older, obscure then-popular titles like this one.
Battle Skipper (OAV) Weak
Bavi Stock (OAV) Worst ever Few OVAs can compare to this one in terms of lameness.
Beast Wars II Chō Seimeitai Transformers (TV) Not really good
Belle and Sebastian (TV) Excellent
Berserk (TV 1997) Weak Most people love this series... The dark, bitter and oftentimes cynical feel of the storyline leaves me unsatisfied. I prefer my fantasy series to be dark, but with a "happy, everything is going to be okay, somehow" feel at the end. This distinctly lacks any such compassion.
Betterman (TV) Not really good
Beyblade (TV) Bad I'm sure this could be a good series, if it weren't for the fact that the kids are simply SPINNING TOPS. This is another instance of a series that not even the catgirl-esque girl can save.. But it's better than some series (Bistro Recipe).
Beyblade: V-Force (TV) Weak Top-spinning returns... with more top spinning action!
Bible Black (OAV) Decent Ugh. Bad hentai. There's better stuff out there; trust me.
Black Lion (OAV) Weak
Blue Blink (TV) Weak Old and not very popular, I saw a few episodes from KIKU-TV in Hawaii. It's not as bad as Marine Express, say, but it certainly ranks high in the "I can't believe some anime was this bad" category.
(La) Blue Girl (OAV) Bad
Blue Seed (TV) So-so ... Why is a high school girl wearing panties with prints on them? And why does the director feel the need to make her lose her skirt in virtually every episode? ... And how come people think this is a GOOD thing?
Blue Seed Beyond (OAV) So-so
Boogiepop Phantom (TV) Masterpiece Creepy creepy creepy... Listening to Jeff Thompson talk about this alone was enough to send shivers down my spine. This, rather than Berserk, is my kind of dark.
Boys Over Flowers (TV) Good Hana Yori Dango, surprisingly, is one series I dislike BECAUSE nothing happens (compare with AzuDai).. Maybe I need to get into a relationship first, and then I'll understand the charm of this series? Either that or Kimagure Orange Road.
Brain Powered (TV) Weak The music is Brain Powered's sole saving grace.. and yet the music sounds exactly like what you would find in Escaflowne ... because Yoko Kanno did the music to that, too. I could swear that she simply took the Esca music, inverted a chord progression or two, and put it on the Brain Powered CDs. They're not bad, but they're definately not indicative of Kanno's true range of talent.
Brigadoon (TV) Very good I love the opening theme, and hate the character designs. The story, unfortunately, didn't attract me as much as I was hoping it would.. but it's still a good series.
Bronze: Zetsuai Since 1989 (OAV) Weak

GaoGaiGar: King of the Braves (TV) Not really good Ga ga ga, ga ga ga, gao gai gar! Ga ga ga, ga ga ga, gao gai gar! ... It's got a good tune, but I've only seen 1 episode, so I'll have to reserve final judgement. Things were mostly "eh", IMO.

Laura, a Little Girl on the Prairie (TV) Weak
(The) Legend of Black Heaven (TV) Good It's got an interesting premise -- an ex-rocker who begins rediscovering the joy of music... but not without tragedy involved. There are some great music video's that use Black Heaven footage (including one in a "VH1 documentary"-style; magnificent!)
Legend of Himiko (TV) So-so
(The) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OAV) Masterpiece
Legend of the Mystical Ninja (TV) Bad
Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers (TV) Not really good
Lil' Red Riding Hood Cha-Cha (TV) Very good I love this series! It's so cute. It's a great anime series for children, and it's lengthy too. The only downside is that the animation style makes it look older than it actually is. If I had 6-digits of disposable income, I'd license this. I need to pick up the LDs...
Lil' Red Riding Hood Cha-Cha (OAV) Good More of the same, although a little weaker, plot-wise than the TV series. What do you expect for one-shots?
