5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Excellent I would call myself a fan of drama. And this movie really delivers drama well, it looks great too.
Accel World (TV) Very good
Accel World (OAV) Very good
Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero (TV) Very good
Air (TV) Masterpiece Heavy many times, but overall, light and, um, airy.
Air (movie) Excellent
Air In Summer (special) Excellent
Aishiteruze Baby (TV) Good
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka (TV) Good
Akira (movie) Excellent Hype
Angel Beats! (TV) Excellent
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) Very good
Arakawa Under the Bridge (TV) Decent
Astarotte's Toy (TV) Decent
Attack on Titan (TV) Masterpiece
Baccano! (TV) Excellent I watched this show and thought "you know i don't know exactly what is going on but i'm pretty sure it's really good". I would have rated this a masterpiece if i had taken the time to watch the entire series 2 or 3 times.
Bakemonogatari (TV) Good
Berserk (TV 1997) Excellent Testosterone fueled awesomeness
Beyond the Boundary (TV) Very good
Black Bullet (TV)
Blade Dance of the Elementalers (TV)
Blood Lad (TV) Very good
Blood+ (TV) Very good
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) Decent
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) Excellent Pure comedy. Probably the funniest anime i've seen.
Blue Exorcist (TV)
Blue Exorcist (movie)
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan Second (OAV) Excellent
Brynhildr in the Darkness (TV)
Bunny Drop (TV) Excellent
Campione! (TV) Very good
Casshern Sins (TV) Masterpiece While at some times lacking in exposition, this series none the less accomplishes significant thematic development. The deeply philosophical overtones were balanced such that they did not become monotonous or corny but rather struck a resonance with the viewer. Casshern Sins has the two marks of a great series: striking that emotional resonance with the audience and creating an immersive setting populated with believable characters. Truly, it was a deeply affecting series.
Castle in the Sky (movie) Very good
Cencoroll (movie) Good
Chaos;HEAd (TV) Good
Chibits (special) Good
Chobits (TV) Very good
Chrome Shelled Regios (TV) Good
Clannad (movie) Excellent Retelling of Clannad. Watch this only after watching Clannad the series and after story.
Clannad (TV) Excellent I find myself wondering why this series was even made. Clannad after story was waaaay better. i guess this series just serves to make the events of Clannad after story even more meaningful.
Clannad After Story (TV) Masterpiece Closest i've ever gotten to crying over an anime.
Claymore (TV) Excellent This series would have been a lot better if it had continued the story further like in the manga.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) Masterpiece This series sure is ambitious. However, it often comes off as it trying too hard. The directors or screenwriters or whatever know what the audience wants and try to pump the series with lots of suspense, drama, action, etc. But it doesn't flow well at times, it's exactly what the viewer wants but it feels jerky and unnatural. However, sometimes the series gets things moving smoothly and it's at those times that this series really shines. It's overall amazing and has a feel to it that i've never seen before. Although, that said Leouch is obviously a Light Yagami/ Darth Vader ripoff. Light in personality. Darth Vader in looks (well his Zero outfit anyway).
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (TV) Masterpiece every episode ended in a cliffhanger, it made you want more. I won't spoil the ending but i will state my belief that in the last episode Leouch cunningly fooled everyone, even Suzaku.
Coppelion (TV) Good
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Masterpiece Cowboy Bebop has some of the best quotes of any anime. It's a really popular series and great in dub.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Excellent
Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV) Good
Deadman Wonderland (TV) Very good
DearS (TV) Not really good Now before people start stoning me for watching this I have just this to say in my defense: I didn't really watch it, rather I let the dub version play while I was packing and cleaning before a vacation. It's also the first time in my experience with anime that i've skipped sizable portions of the episodes on purpose.
Death Billiards (movie) Decent
Death Note (TV) Masterpiece Exciting, fast-paced, hard to follow at times but still deeply engaging. And Light just might be one of the best Anti-Heros of all time
Demon King Daimao (TV) Decent
(The) Devil Is a Part-Timer! (TV) Good
(The) Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (movie) Excellent
DNA² (TV) So-so
Dragonar Academy (TV)
Durarara!! (TV) Good
Dusk maiden of Amnesia (TV) Good
Ebiten: Ebisugawa Public High School's Tenmonbu (TV) Decent
Eden of the East (TV) Excellent
Eden of the East: Paradise Lost (movie) Very good
Eden of the East: The King of Eden (movie) Very good
ef: a tale of melodies (TV) Excellent A good series, although this show thought too much of itself. an unfulfilled ambition.
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Very good i never could take this show seriously i just kept thinking isn't that the girl from "50 First Dates"? It's really the same story except that "ef" tries to make the whole thing way more dramatic than it really is. Wait, it's almost exactly like "50 First Dates"....
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece Violence at it's prime. Some might call it excessive but its all relevant in end and serves to compliment the masterful story itself.
Elfen Lied (OAV) Very good
Engaged to the Unidentified (TV) So-so
Ergo Proxy (TV) Excellent Ergo Proxy created a very interesting world with an inexplicable sense of realism about it despite the setting.
Eureka Seven (TV) Masterpiece The focus of this show should be the character development rather than the plot itself, and it is. It's also a touching love story and the show has great openings and endings.
(The) Familiar of Zero (TV) Excellent
(The) Familiar of Zero F (TV) Good
(The) Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Twin Moons (TV) Excellent
(The) Familiar of Zero: Rondo of Princesses (TV) Excellent
Fate/stay night (TV) Very good
Fight Ippatsu! Jūden-chan!! Hitō Jūdan Tenkū Onsen (OAV) Weak
FLCL (OAV) Masterpiece Someone needs to do a professional literary criticism on this show and i'm too lazy to do it.
Fractale (TV)
From the New World (TV) Masterpiece
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Masterpiece My personal favorite anime of all time. even the side stories have the same quality as some of the best animes of all. And for those hopeful Winry x Ed fans, all i can say is that whether it would have worked out or not, there was not enough room in this already loaded series for romance and FMA doesn't need romance to be the best anyway.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) Masterpiece Although this version is considered the "true" story, I consider it inferior to the original series but only just slightly.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Kids (OAV) Very good
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa Excellent
(The) Future Diary (TV) Excellent
Ga-Rei-Zero (TV) Very good
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (TV) Excellent An interesting retelling of a classic story to say the least. Read the novel first.
Gantz (TV) Excellent Desperation, Confusion, misplaced anger and frustration. Gantz brings to reality the situation it presents. It masterfully connects the viewer to the feelings of the characters. It is in this way that Gantz makes a supernatural scenario so realistic.
(The) Garden of Sinners (movie series) Very good
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (TV) Very good
Genshiken (TV) Decent
(The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie) Very good
Girls Bravo (TV) Decent
Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun (TV) So-so The only redeeming quality of this series is how it looks visually. So if you do decide to watch it you might as well watch it raw.
Gosick (TV) Excellent
Grave of the Fireflies (movie) Very good
Guilty Crown (TV) Very good
Gurren Lagann (TV) Masterpiece I've got some friends that would say this is the best anime of all time, but I wouldn't. In the effort to not spoil the series I would just say this, the only reason I dislike this series at all is because the ending went against just about every theme of the series and, subsequently, pissed me off. Gurren Lagann is still one of the best anime out there though.
H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) Very good Most people wouldn't say this is a masterpiece. It's a drama and perhaps a stock one at that. The difference being, that this show actually pulled me in and, frankly, surprised me near the end.
Haganai (TV) Excellent
Haganai NEXT (TV) Excellent
Haibane Renmei (TV) Very good

Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox (OAV)
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Masterpiece Unique main character not in physical artistic design (all anime guy main characters honestly look alike) but the personality is unique. standard drama, great plot perhaps a little supernatural but great regardless.

Midori Days (TV) Good
Mirai Nikki Redial (OAV) Very good
Monogatari Series Second Season (TV)
Mononoke (TV) Very good
Monster (TV) Masterpiece Exciting, endearing, and a slow paced mystery/crime/drama. Good stuff if you're willing to watch it all.
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (TV)
Motto To Love Ru (TV) Good
Mushi-Shi (TV) Masterpiece It's a real shame that there aren't more anime like this one. It's so calm and yet deeply profound. I would say that every episode is like an entire series by itself, its that involved. Don't expect too much of this series in terms of over-arching plot but this show rewards the viewer regardless. fans of this show might also try kino's journey although i liked Mushi-Shi more.

Negima!? Summer OVA Very good
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) Masterpiece Everyone has probably heard of this series. It is a must see for any anime fan. Although impressions vary. Some will say it's the deepest and most depraved show of all time. Others will say it's complete crap. Most will agree with the latter view but salute this series none the less. It really is actually a normal series up until just after halfway through after that.......Well the best way to sum up the rest of the series is "mind rape".
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie) Masterpiece A furtherment of the mind rape introduced in the series (this movie works as a retelling of the last two eps of the series). I would say that this movie must be seen and then the aftermath must be suppressed and/or dealt with in therapy.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll (TV)
Virus Buster Serge (TV) Awful I know that i watched this when it was on the sci-fi channel but i've blocked out 99% of my memory of this series.
Voices of a Distant Star (OAV) Very good
We Without Wings - Under the Innocent Sky (TV) Good
Welcome to the NHK (TV) Masterpiece it will have you wondering at first, then you'll be "Ah", then "hmm", then "oh", then "cool" and finally it ends. Then you'll think to yourself, "everything that happened in that show could possibly happen to me and I hope it doesn't". Now go and watch it.
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Masterpiece You know, i've seen a lot of things in life and a lot of shows but Higurashi is true horror. I have to say that it is the only anime to ever "scare" me.
When They Cry - Kai (TV) Masterpiece This is one of those "They shouldn't have made a second season" things, at least that's my opinion. It's supposed to comprise the "answer arcs" but i guess, at least for me, it didn't answer the questions the series left. It's still a great series though.
Witch Craft Works (TV)
xxxHOLiC (TV) Good All right! This makes 100 anime for me (technically).
xxxHOLiC: Kei (TV) Good
Yumeria (TV) Weak I remember reading someone's comment about how this series is only good when you're high or drunk. I'll stand by that comment. And i'm truly sorry i watched this series.
