| Angel Tales (TV) | | |
| (The) Animatrix (OAV) | Decent | |
| Anne of Green Gables (TV) | Decent | This is a very old show, but if it doesn't make you want to go visit P.E.I., I don't know what will. |
| Aria - The Natural (TV) | Very good | |
| Aria the Origination (TV) | Very good | |
| Attack on Titan (TV 4/2019) | | |
| Banner of the Stars II (TV) | Good | |
| Battle Athletes Victory (TV) | Good | A surprisingly fun show that I stumbled across by accident.. |
| BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (TV) | Good | |
| Best Student Council (TV) | Decent | Yeah, I'd like to know. What is the deal with that puppet? |
| (The) Big O (TV) | Bad | Gave up after 4 episodes. The concept was great, but the mecha formula was getting way too annoying. |
| Bleach (TV) | So-so | Another shounen action series. |
| Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) | Decent | Lots of blood and gore and..cute comedy? Hmm.. |
| Boku wa Imōto ni Koi o Suru: Secret Sweethearts - Kono Koi wa Himitsu (OAV) | Decent | |
| A Centaur's Life (TV) | Very good | |
| Chi's Sweet Home (TV) | Decent | Almost as great as owning a real kitten! |
| Claymore (TV) | So-so | Another action show, with lots of black. |
| Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) | Decent | |
| Comic Party (TV) | So-so | |
| Cop Craft (TV) | | rated episode 1 |
| Cosplay Complex (OAV) | Weak | I wouldn't want to wear clothing that talked to me. But maybe that's just me. |
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) | Decent | One of those classics I haven't got around to finishing up.. |
| Coyote Ragtime Show (TV) | Not really good | Lots of goth-lolis, lots of action, and very, very little depth. |
| D.N.Angel (TV) | So-so | |
| Dan Doh!! (TV) | Awful | I assume this is targeted at pre-teens who also play golf. I am not so sure that this is a very large market. |
| Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV) | | |
| DearS (TV) | So-so | Most shows that deal with this kind of 'master/slave' relationship at least try to be subtle about it! |
| Demon Lord, Retry! (TV) | | rated episode 1 |
| Densha Otoko (live-action TV) | Decent | Cheesy, but fun and a good-natured(?) poke at the fandom. The other die-hard 2chan'ers are hilarious to watch, too. |
| Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (TV) | So-so | |
| Detective Conan (TV) | Good | I can't believe they manage a murder every episode, for what..500+ episodes? That's the size of a small town! The actual puzzling out of the cases makes up for it, though. |
| Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! (TV) | | rated episode 5 |
| Digimon Adventure (TV) | So-so | |
| Digimon Adventure 02 (TV) | Decent | |

| éX-Driver (OAV) | Not really good | |
| Fafner (TV) | So-so | |
| Final Fantasy: Unlimited (TV) | Bad | |
| Flag (ONA) | Very good | The 'everything is shot from a camera' shtick looks silly at first, and the mecha doubly so, but the plot actually works to drag you in past it. |
| Fortune Quest L (TV) | Weak | I'm sure a 10-year-old WoW player could put together a more competent party than this one. |
| Fruits Basket (TV 2/2019) | | |
| Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) | Very good | This show is not only popular, it's actually really good! |
| Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) | Good | |
| Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime (TV) | Good | Warning: Contains large doses of sugary cuteness. Remember to brush your teeth after every episode. |
| Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (TV) | Very good | |
| Getbackers (TV) | Decent | |
| (The) Girl Who Leapt Through Space (TV) | So-so | |
| Girl's High (TV) | So-so | |
| Gosick (TV) | | |
| Gravion (TV) | So-so | Fan service + Mecha? Why not? It's, like, two genres for the price of one! |
| .hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV) | Not really good | |
| .hack//SIGN (TV) | Good | |
| Happy Lesson (TV) | So-so | |
| Haré+Guu (TV) | Weak | I'm convinced either the animators or the writers were on drugs. Or both. A little too 'out there' for me. |
| Hayate the Combat Butler!! (TV) | Very good | |
| Hellsing Ultimate (OAV) | So-so | Also known as 'the good version'. Too bad vampire shows aren't really my cup of tea. |
| (The) Helpful Fox Senko-san (TV) | | |
| Here is Greenwood (live-action TV) | Decent | |
| Hikaru no Go (TV) | Decent | Turns an intellectual board game into a fist-pounding shounen sports series. |

| How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Omega (TV) | | rated episode 8 |
| Human Crossing (TV) | Good | |

| Indian Summer (OAV) | So-so | |
| Initial D (TV) | Not really good | |

| Kemono Michi: Rise Up (TV) | | rated episode 1 |
| Kiddy Grade (TV) | Decent | |
| Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de (TV) | Bad | |
| Kodocha (TV) | Excellent | |
| Kokoro Library (TV) | Good | Nice, feel-good series. I can't help but wonder that way out in the countryside may not be the best place for a library, though. |
| Kurenai (TV) | Very good | Sharp, rapid dialogue that never lets up, or lets you down. |
| Kurokami The Animation (TV) | Good | |
| Kyo no Gononi (TV) | Good | |
| L/R: Licensed by Royalty (TV) | Bad | It tries to be cool, but it isn't, really. |

| A Little Snow Fairy Sugar (TV) | Good | |
| Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table (TV) | | rated episode 8 |
| Looking for the Full Moon (TV) | Good | |
| Madlax (TV) | Good | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (TV) | So-so | I'm not sure if it's dated or I'm just jaded, but it doesn't seem to offer anything different than all the other fantasy shows out there. |
| Magical Meow Meow Taruto (TV) | Decent | |
| Magical Witch Punie-chan (OAV) | Good | |
| Mao-chan (TV) | Not really good | Cute, but oh, so silly. A good lesson in why handing expensive military equipment over to elementary school kids is inadvisable. |
| Maria Holic (TV) | Good | |
| Maria Watches Over Us (TV) | Good | |
| Master Keaton (TV) | Decent | |
| Mobile Fighter G Gundam (TV) | Bad | |
| Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Miller's Report (movie) | Decent | |
| Momo: The Girl God of Death (TV) | Very good | |
| Moonlight Mile (TV) | Decent | |
| Mushi-Shi (TV) | Very good | Beautiful and mysterious. Its only downside is that it's episodic, so it never builds up to something more. |
| Naisho no Tsubomi (OAV) | So-so | |
| Nanaka 6/17 (TV) | Decent | |
| Naruto (TV) | So-so | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers (TV) | Decent | |
| Nodame Cantabile (TV) | Good | The two leads make an odd couple, and make great music.
The (lack of) production values means you'll be sitting through most concerts looking at stills, unfortunately. |
| Noein - to your other self (TV) | Decent | |
| Nurse Witch Komugi (OAV) | Bad | |
| Oku-sama wa Joshi Kōsei (TV) | Bad | A borderline legal marriage to an underage girl, with her overprotective father next door? Couldn't make it past one episode. |
| Okusama wa Maho Shojo (TV) | Weak | This one's only marginally better than Oku-sama wa Joshi Kousei. The whole 'too old for magic' bit was an entertaining concept, but stretched far too thin, far too early. |
| Omishi Magical Theater Risky Safety (TV) | Decent | |
| ONE ~Kagayaku Kisetsu e~ (OAV) | Decent | Presumably makes more sense if you've played through the visual novel. |
| Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling for Me! (TV) | Good | |
| Our Home's Fox Deity (TV) | Decent | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (TV) | | |

| Piano (TV) | Good | |
| Planetes (TV) | Good | |
| Pokémon (TV) | Weak | |
| Popotan (TV) | Decent | |
| PreCure Max Heart (TV) | Good | Takes magical girls and imbues them with Western action hero machismo. How many other magical girls actually kick and punch their enemies? |
| Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (live-action TV) | Bad | |
| (The) Prince of Tennis (TV) | Not really good | |
| RahXephon (TV) | Decent | |
| Ramen Fighter Miki (TV) | | |
| Ranma ½ (TV 1/1989) | Very good | The canonical martial-arts romantic comedy. Nothing else compares. |

| Revolutionary Girl Utena (TV) | Good | |
| (The) Rising of The Shield Hero (TV) | | |

| Sailor Moon SuperS (TV) | Decent | |
| Saint Tail (TV) | Decent | |
| School Days: Magical Heart Kokoro-chan (OAV) | Decent | |
| School Rumble: 2nd Semester (TV) | Very good | Builds well on the first season. You know whether you want it or not (and I bet you do!). |
| Sekirei (TV) | Weak | |
| Sgt. Frog (TV) | So-so | |
| Shadow Skill (OAV) | So-so | |
| Shangri-La (TV) | | |
| Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed (TV) | Excellent | The first episode looked like something out of October Sky, but then there's a sudden plot twist in just about every episode. |
| Sister Princess (TV) | Decent | You can either look at it as a really creepy show, or as a cute and touching one. It's largely up to your perspective. |
| (The) Slayers Try (TV) | Good | |
| Someday's Dreamers (TV) | Very good | A magical girl series that manages to be both modern and quaint, light and touching. |
| Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (TV) | Decent | |
| Sorcerer Hunters (TV) | Not really good | |
| Strawberry Panic! (TV) | Decent | |
| Strike Witches (OAV) | Weak | |

| Sweet Blue Flowers (TV) | | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo (TV) | So-so | |
| Tenchi Muyo! (OAV 1/1992) | Good | |
| Tide-Line Blue (TV) | So-so | |
| Time of Eve (ONA) | So-so | |
| ToHeart2ad (OAV) | Decent | |
| Tokyo Underground (TV) | So-so | |
| Top Secret ~The Revelation~ (TV) | So-so | Raises some interesting issues, but as soon as they hit the "should we look into the President's brain?" bit, there was nowhere to go but down. |
| (The) Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk (TV) | Weak | Yet another fantasy RPG series. |
| Trouble Chocolate (TV) | So-so | |
| True Tears (TV) | | |

| (The) Wallflower (TV) | Decent | |
| Wandaba Style (TV) | Not really good | |
| Wedding Peach (TV) | So-so | |
| Welcome to the NHK (TV) | Good | |
| When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) | Very good | Alternates between silly and violent, without ever losing steam. Don't watch it right before bedtime. |
| White Album (TV) | Very good | |
| Wise Man's Grandchild (TV) | | |
| With You ~Mitsumeteitai~ (OAV) | So-so | |
| Wolf's Rain (TV) | Very good | |
| X (TV) | Good | |
| Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (OAV) | Very good | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (TV 1/1998) | Bad | It turns out that watching a TV show about people playing card games is less interesting than actually playing with real friends of your own, even if they are much better at it than you are. |
| Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) | Very good | |
| Zone of the Enders (TV) | So-so | |
