Seen/Read All (public list)▲▼ | Rating▲▼ |
(The) Garden of Words (movie) | Excellent (dub & sub) |
Gatchaman The Movie | Excellent (dub & sub) ↓ I must confess that I'm surprised that I ended up rating it as highly as I did; the only reason I purchased the movie was out of nostalgia ─ I had seen episodes of "Battle of the Planets" as a young child.
Because of the unusual deaths I bumped my rating up a notch to 9/11; the OST, combined with the open-ended nature of the ending, caused me to bump it up another notch to 10/11. |
GATE (TV) | Good winsome & relatable characters |
GATE (TV 2) | Good I've changed my mind; and, thus, I've lowered my rating by two ranks. What changed my mind? Because, in my opinion, Saga of Tanya the Evil does it much better. |
Ghost in the Shell (movie) | Excellent (dub & sub) Compare the OST with Cowboy Bebop! "Beyond Ghibli - A Ghost of its Own" |
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (movie) | Very good (dub & sub) The philosophizing is pedantic. |
Ghost in the Shell: Arise (OAV) | Excellent |
Ghost in the Shell: Arise Alternative Architecture (TV) | Very good The logic of episodes 3 & 4 (Ghost Pain Parts 1 & 2) is really tenuous. |
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (TV) | Excellent |
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Individual Eleven (OAV) | Masterpiece |
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (TV) | Masterpiece |
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society (movie) | Excellent (dub & sub) |
Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie | Excellent There is less philosophizing here than in G.I.T.S. 2: I ─ and that's a good thing! |
Ghost Talker's Daydream (OAV) | Good (dub & sub)
Check out the manga. It has to be better. |
(The) Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún (OAV) | Masterpiece A ten-minute art-house film. Just watch it to see if you enjoy it! |
