| Amon - Apocalypse of Devilman (OAV) |
Good |
The conclusion to the previous Devilman ovas 10 years ago. but this time it gets more darker when Devilman faces a mob of paranoid humans with shocking results. (let's just say that if you are familiar with the series' characters only one will be left standing.) and not to mention his "evil" other half. another Go nagai classic. |
| Angel Cop (OAV) |
Very good |
Guilty pleasue at it's finest. Angel and the J.A.F. not only take on the fanatical terrorist of the red may army but the story takes an unusual turn of events when psychic vigilanties dish out their brand of justice. the storyline is somewhat contraversial (it's laden with anti-american and anti-semetic sentiment.) but aside from that it's a thrilling bulletfest in the tradition of John Woo. |
| Area 88 (OAV) |
Good |
Good series but ending was open ended. |
| BAOH (OAV) |
Good |
Most otakus hated this "guyver wannabee" but i thought it was entertaining, an experimental teenager is being persued by a ruthless arms dealing organization only to retaliate using his newfound abilities. very violent one shot OVA,with another open ending. (love the shooting bees phenomenom.) |
| Bastard!! (OAV) |
Good |
From shienshua the guys responsible for such "gems" as angel cop and baoh, now comes Bastard, and the title fits the protagonist of this anime. Dark Schinder, a wizard who has returned to cause havoc on his enemies both demons and humans.needless to say that this series doesn't take itself too seriously as there is an abundance of risque comedic elements included. HIGHLY rECCOMENDED! |
| Battle Angel (OAV) |
Very good |
|
| Battle Arena Toshinden (OAV) |
Decent |
Obari's adaptation of the long forgotten videogame series. not as good as his previous stuff; Detonator Orgun,Fatal Fury but easily surpasses Gowcaiser. (which ain't saying much) |
| Battle Royal High School (OAV) |
Good |
Cool fighter ova that looks like it was based on some japanese videogame..as a matter of fact, the main character was probably the inspiration behind Tekken's King. (tiger masked man) the ending theme Medusa is worth the purchase alone. |
| Battle Royale (live-action movie) |
Excellent |
A groundbreaking movie that shouldv'e won some sorta oscar IMO.It plays like lord of the fireflies with a hint of escape from new york and a few other sci-fi movie chiches. Beat takeshi's portrayal of the sadistic controller is awesome, not to mention the supporting cast of kiddies added so much to this film. this movie deserves a wider distribution in the US and abroad, for it's underlying social commentary and great storypacing. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE! |
| Battle Royale II: Requiem (live-action movie) |
Not really good |
A lackluster sequel to a great japanese classic. the opening scene howeveris somewhat shocking especially since it's post 9/11. The beachhead battle lifted a bit off spielberg's saving private ryan..and the ending was far fetched. gotta admit i loved the cameo appearance of takeshi. (which help to explain the "phone call" sequence with his daughter.) nice piano tunes. |
| Berserk (TV 1997) |
Good |
to quote the intro theme.."tell me why,tell me why.." tell me why did this series take place before the events of the dreamcast game? i wouldv'e loved to have seen Gatsu'S beserker rage and not to mention that cool wrist cannon he's packing. the ending was a bit too much, and very sadistic..but you can't have everything..or can ya? |
| BioHunter (OAV) |
Decent |
|
| Black Lion (OAV) |
Decent |
Go nagai, love or hate his work, he's still regarded as one of anime's influentual artist/creators. (father of mecha) black lion is way more of a fantasy than an actual fuedian swordplay anime. think ninja scroll meets terminator. it's nothing spectacular but it's a good timekiller. |
| Black Magic M-66 (OAV) |
Good |
this short paved the way for shriow's ghost in the shell. an anime with a simular plot to the terminator movie, and an instant classic.also reccommended; appleseed |

Futuristic convuluted sci-fi anime looks as if the film cels were dipped in urine. (GAG!) |
| Burn Up Excess (TV) |
Decent |
|
| Burn Up W (OAV) |
Good |
A perfect blend of comedy with bullet riddled action scenes. Ya just gotta love the classic gun-packing,saucer-eyed chick with an attitude. |
| Burn Up! (OAV) |
Good |
|
| Casshan: Robot Hunter Casshern (OAV) |
Very good |
Tatsunoko has rehashed yet another one of their classic characters following in the footsteps of gatchaman comes casshan. the concept is simular to that of the magnus robot fighter comic, but just as good. kick ass intro theme too. the world is overrun by black king and his army of robots, who can stop them? "if casshan can't do it, who will"?
Look for the upcoming live action movie based on casshan (cassern?!?) |
| City Hunter: Secret Service (special) |
Decent |
|
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) |
Excellent |
Great futuristic series about bounty hunters, cool Jazz-like opening theme song, good jeet-kwon-do fight scenes and the ending might be a shocker or tear jerker. :0x |
| Cowboy Bebop: The Movie |
Good |
|
| Crimson Wolf (OAV) |
Weak |
silly ova about three resurected teens who oppose a silly computer..and ah wtf..why bother to make sense of a senseless anime? and the english dub added more fuel to this pile of burning excrement. |
| Crying Freeman (OAV) |
Good |
|
| Crying Freeman (live-action movie) |
Good |
|
| Cyber City Oedo 808 (OAV) |
Good |
Another futuristic sci-fi anime were three convicts are chosen to perform certain objectives in order to recieve thier pardons. sorta like John Carpenter's Escape from New York. |
| Cybernetics Guardian (OAV) |
Good |
And yet another furturistic sci-fi anime (no kidding!) This time a young man is transformed into some super-beast while taking on corrupt officials. a decent effort from Koichi Ohata (Genocyber,M.D. Geist) but with less gore than usual. |
| Dangaioh (OAV) |
Very good |
"CROSS FIGHT"! AIC's classic mechafest of the 90's was a great 3 part run, the ending was a bit of a disapointment. |
| Demon City Shinjuku (OAV) |
Good |
|
| Detonator Orgun (OAV) |
Very good |
An instant classic in the tradition of Tekkaman and Captain Marvel (marvel comics early 70's version that is.) Great plot device that unfolds in sucedding epidsodes. |
| Devil Hunter Yohko (OAV) |
Very good |
|
| Devilman (OAV) |
Very good |
Go nagai's classic series from the 70's is revamped, and pretty much violent. avoid the english dub at all costs!! curse you manga entertainment, you went the way of Miramax when it comes to importing asian gems like this one.
can't wait to see the live action movie. "devilman,devilman..calling." (lyrics from rob zombie's song supercharger heaven) |
| Dog Soldier: Shadows of the Past (OAV) |
Bad |
Interesting plot regarding the rescue of a scientist who has discovered a vaccine for the AIDS virus. but it all falls into a convuluted story as hiba, the rambo wannabee faces his nemises who was once his best friend. CPM mustv'e paid $6 just to lisence this crap. |
| Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato (movie) |
Excellent |
GREAT MOVIE,SAD ENDING. IT TRULY WAS A FAREWELL. |

next to akira, this was the only other popular anime movie during the 80's. silly english dub as usual. |
| Fist of the North Star (live-action movie) |
Not really good |
I f you can suspend your disbelief for a second you might just actually enjoy this lackluster adaptation of the manga/anime.
the lead protagonist looks like (bob denver) giligan and shin came off a bit gay (what's with the hair flinging taunt?)
the actress who played love intrest julia was miscast mainly due to bad engrish. and talk about miscast..downtown julia brown???!!?? "wubba,wubba wuuubaaaaa"! |
| Full Metal Panic! (TV) |

Good Mecha based comedy with dramatic elements.Lame intro theme but at least the dubbing is decent.

| Gatchaman (TV) |
|
One of the pioneer Anime series that gained massive popularity in Japan,that another sequel was spawned as well as an American version under the title Battle of the planets. which to say in the least is far different from the japanese original.
Gatchaman is one of the best Anime series EVER! |
| Gatchaman (OAV) |
Excellent |
The best Gatchaman ever!! this 3 parter crammed as much of the old revamped stories as possible. the new designs,animation and revamped score(not to mention an awesome ending theme) still proves that tatsunoko is one of the best anime companies out there.

| Genocyber (OAV) |
Good |
Koichi ohata's horrific series may seem a bit familiar to those who have seen movies by cronenberg and clive barker. Nice gory bits here and there.somber BGM with a silly ending theme (fairy dreaming) |
| Getter Robo: Armageddon (OAV) |

Carl Mecek did a great job in regards to handling this movie, the dub is very good and the story, although a bit muddled at times, was different from your typical revenge crime thriller. Fans of the classic nintendo games will love this one. this movie is Not to be confused with luc besson's turd; Leon the Professional. Golgo 13 wouldv'e made a much better choice for a live action flick. and speaking of Macek.... |

| Gundress (movie) |
Decent |
Most people/otakus hated this movie but for what it was, i was entertained regardless of the choppy-rushed animation and lawnmower man final confrontation. Sometimes ya gotta suspend your disbelief. Shrow(Ghost in the shell,Appleseed and Black Magic M-66) was responsible for the character designs and mecha. |
| Gunsmith Cats (OAV) |
Very good |
|
| (The) Guyver (live-action movie) |
Good |
The first american anime based live action movie, but also a silly one at times. (citing Jimmy "JJ" Walker's role as one of the zoanoids.."Dyno-mite".) good wire fu fight scenes and the costume is simular to the Anime/Manga. |
| (The) Guyver 2 (live-action movie) |
Not really good |
...this movie in particular, Dark hero wasin all intese purposes was made solely for the fans as steve wang once quoted, but the slow pacing,chessy acting and $15 budget shot this flick dead on arrival. what's funny is that the protagonist (david hayter) is responsible for the 2 stories based on the XMEN movies. |
| (The) Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor (OAV) |
Very good |
This Guy(ver) is what refueled my interest in anime. A superheroesque sci-fi thriller that spawned two live action movies and both was pretty well disapointing which leads me to.. |
| Guyver: Out of Control (movie) |

LAME!LAME!LAME Police drama about some obnoxious NYC Cop (No kidding!!) named smiley and his "green" partner who takes on a some woman who offs people/city officials while wearing an experimental armor that looks as if it came from the predator movie. The "confrontation" between smiley and the aforementioned serial killer is rediculous, to say the least.. |

..Carl took 3 unrelated Tatsunoko series, then tied them into one exciting Anime for American broadcast, with great sortylines/plot devices,voiceovers,dramatic elements/romance accompanied by a cool soundtrack. (better than the original japanese BGM)
Robotech was a man's cartoon, meaning no silly kidified storylines and dialogue, and a interesting social commentary on the horrors of war. A trend setter back in it's era. |

Before Robotech made it's way in the U.S. this was the first anime brought to America to employ great dialogue and storyarcs and not to mention pathos, which made you feel for the characters. the series was somewhat violent and even included a semi-nude scene. how the aforemention material evaded the censors is still beyond me. |
