"[AMV] Nobody Can Hear You | A Silent Voice"|animers

Koe no Katachi「 AMV 」- Impossible
Simoun (TV) Good
Sky Blue (Korean movie) Masterpiece (dub & sub & Kor.dub)
  • Tragic deaths sprinkled throughout the movie and a terrific OST make this a Masterpiece (11/11) for me.
  • The English dub is also pretty damned good! The ADR Director is Sunmin Park.....
(The) Sky Crawlers (movie) Excellent (dub & sub)
Snow White with the Red Hair (TV) Masterpiece
Snow White with the Red Hair (TV 2) Very good
Solty Rei (TV) Good
Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (TV) Very good
Sound! Euphonium (TV) Masterpiece
The reason that I rated it at 11/11 was that it was about orchestral music.
"How Warm It Sounds | Why Hibike! Euphonium Is My Favorite Anime"|Under The Scope (Jack Johnson)

Episodes twelve and thirteen neatly bookend each other.
