| Blue Seed (TV) | Decent | |
| Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years (U.S. TV) | Good | |
| Cosmo Warrior Zero Gaiden (TV) | | |
| Cyborg 009 (TV/1968) | Decent | Vintage anime and one of the very first pure anime series (meaning no english dubs.) i have seen. the characters are so out of date by today's standards, and the recent series is ok but nothing spectacular. |
| Dark Warrior (OAV) | Bad | Dumb Sci-fi OVA, with rushed animation and a silly storyline..a bunch of big guys beating the sh*t out of each other..how "original." |
| Devilman Lady (TV) | Good | Interesting take on the female version of Devilman, but the godzillaesque fight scenes are a bit redundant. They shouldv'e cut this back to only 2 DVD volumes. |
| Dirty Pair Flash 1 (OAV) | Decent | |
| Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy (OAV) | So-so | |
| Doomed Megalopolis (OAV) | Not really good | I vaguely remember this series, but it's a so-so supernatural title that just didn't catch my full attention, BTW the villian looks too familiar to those who have played the Street Fighter games. "PSYCHO-CRUSHER"! |
| Dragon Ball Z (TV) | Good | seminal series gained tons of popularity and notoriety within the Anime community. it's a fun watch but most of Akira toryama's character designs look either deformed or stereotypically rediculous. |
| Escaflowne: The Movie | Good | |
| Fist of the North Star (TV) | Decent | Hoto no Ken, a decent tv series which like Dragon Ball Z, gained a huge cult following. the protagonist Kenshiro looks like a hybrid of Stallone and Bruce Lee. The original japanese intro had a catchy tune, then Manga ent. changed it into some lame ass disco-techno theme. It's stuff like this that may encourage some ppl to buy bootlegs. (SIGH!) |
| (The) Five Star Stories (movie) | Decent | |
| Galaxy Express 999 (TV) | Good | |
| Gasaraki (TV) | Not really good | I love mecha anime, from gundam to getter robo but Sunrise i guess was aiming to go for something a bit different from the standard and as a result we have a tom clancy-like psychic thriller with realistic bi pedal mechas. despite it's premise the series doesn't really gel mainly to to lackluster pacing. and not enough intensity to keep me glued. However i did skip towards the ending. (0:< |
| Gatchaman Fighter (TV) | Decent | |
| Genesis Climber Mospeada (TV) | Good | |
| Gigantor (TV 1963) | So-so | |
| Gun Frontier (TV) | Good | Matasumoto proves that you can enjoy a anime seies even if it's a freakin western. and i hate westerns! The interactions between leji's flagship characters harlock and techiro is what makes this "western" an exceptional one, not to mention the risque scenarios. |
| Gungrave (TV) | Decent | I love the videogame this anime is based on, but unfortunetly the series didn't live up to my expectations.(it's like beserk, a prequel leading up to the "good stuff".) nonetheless a good crime drama and a cool ending theme. |
| Gunparade March (TV) | Good | My answer to the disapointing Blue Gender. and with a better theme. |
| Heat Guy J (TV) | Very good | It's Robocop meets terminator meets the godfather meets cowboy bebop. but still has enough originality of it's own that being said. |
| Infinite Ryvius (TV) | Weak | Anime's take on Lord of the Flies. very disapointing. |
| Landlock (OAV) | Decent | |
| Last Exile (TV) | Excellent | This epic-like fantasy series reminds me of stuff like nausica. but is a visual treat to behold, the music kicks ass as well. |
| (The) Legend of the Dog Warriors: The Hakkenden (OAV) | Decent | |
| MAPS (OAV 1994) | Decent | Boy meets Alien girl. It's a decent viewing. |
| Martian Successor Nadesico (TV) | Weak | |
| Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (OAV) | Excellent | |
| Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) | Good | |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) | Very good | |
| Night Warriors - Darkstalkers' Revenge (OAV) | Very good | Capcom's Street Fighter meets the groovy ghoulies. (an old cartoon from the funky 70's) The plot although moderate,is Much better than the crappy american version of Darkstalkers. and both animated versions contain the lame Troubleman ending theme. |
| Outlaw Star (TV) | Good | |
| Panzer Dragoon (OAV) | Not really good | Sega's classic videogame series becomes a disapointing anime,that must have been rushed to please the fans. poor computer graphics and bad animation does not make a good game based anime. |
| Perfect Blue (movie) | Good | |
| Project A-ko: Uncivil Wars (OAV) | Decent | |
| RahXephon (TV) | Not really good | |
| Record of Lodoss War (OAV) | Good | |
| Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (TV) | | |
| Silent Möbius (TV) | Good | Cyberpunk meets the supernatural, an refreshing concept in a medium that's cluttered with mecha and martial arts.
English voiceovers are lame, but that doesn't stop this from being a good series. |
| Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage (movie) | Very good | |
| Space Pirate Captain Herlock The Endless Odyssey (OAV) | | So far from what i am seeing, it's looking good. Cap is back and this time he's taking on evil spirits known as Noo. |
| Speed Racer (TV) | So-so | Next to Gigantor and Kimba the white lion, i think this was one of the very first Anime series to debut stateside. and boy can those voice actors;(Peter Fernandez) talk fast. Another Tatsunoko classic which paved the way for the brilliant Gatchaman. |
| Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) | Weak | |
| Street Fighter (U.S. TV) | So-so | Somewhat predictable series based on Capcom's venerable videogame, almost like slash anime in regards to the pairing of protagonists Ryu and Ken. like it's videogame turned anime counterparts; Beserk and Gungrave it's another prequel.
hey Capcom, where the f**k is my Resident evil anime??!? |
| (The) Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross (TV) | Decent | |
| Tekkaman Blade II (OAV) | Good | |
| Ten Tokyo Warriors (OAV) | Decent | |
| Trigun (TV) | Good | Nice futuristc western anime series, sometimes funny sometimes a bit serious. Intro kicks ass. |
| Very Private Lesson (OAV) | | |
| Virtua Fighter (TV) | Bad | Poor SEGA, when it comes to marketing their characters via anime or live action movies (panzer dragoon and house of the dead anyone?) they can never get it right, and VF is more of that testimony.Stoic Akira has turned into a silly bumbling A-hole and the plot leads to nothing special. Oh well at least sonic was ok. BTW where's the Shinobi anime? |
| Virus Buster Serge (TV) | Decent | Somewhat close to the Dark horse comic series. (Everyday machines/vehicles emerge as beasts and cause chaos)and directed by Masami Obari (Toshinden & Detonator Orgun)The first volume is good, but i have yet to see the rest of this TV Series. |
| X (TV) | Good | |
| Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (TV) | Good | Often quoted as a "DBZ wannabee" Yu Yu is more of a supernatural fight series. Funimation's dubbing is lacking. I highly recommend the Poltergeist report movie. |
| Zenki (TV) | Decent | |
| Zone of the Enders (TV) | Not really good | Konami just like SEGA has failed to have an successful anime based on their characters. ZOE Deloris is just plain silly and the dubbing made it worse. thank god for the anime network b/c if i shelled out $30 for this crap i would've sued ADV on the count of bad anime desicions. Of all Konami's franchise why not produce a anime based on metal gear,contra or even castlevania?? |
