| Air (TV) | Weak | This has an incredible amount of potential, but it is wasted because the writers obviously have no regard for their own characters. |
| Air (movie) | Decent | Much better than the TV series. A far more fulfilling conclusion to the series than the TV show. Still suffers from a lot of the same problems, though. |
| Alien Nine (special) | Excellent | Extremely good. Excellent characters, a unique style, and an engrossing, off-kilter story. Unfortunately, it is only 4 episodes long, and only manages to cover about 1/3rd of the manga. |
| Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) | Very good | Incredibly hilarious. Until the last episode, which is a refugee from another, serious show or something. |
| Boogiepop Phantom (TV) | Excellent | Very, very dark and interesting series. Certainly not for everyone, but highly rewarding if you can get through it. Superb art and composition. |
| Clannad After Story (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) | Masterpiece | The best anime ever. |
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) | Very good | I don't really need to say anything. The quintessential anime. It's all right, but I don't see why it's as popular as it is. |
| D.C. ~Da Capo~ (TV) | Excellent | Excellent. Amazing characters, art, and drama. Great directing too, even though the experimental sections were a bit out of place compared with the rest. Incredible music and use of it, in addition. |
| Di Gi Charat (TV) | Good | Very funny. It's been quite a while since I watched it, so I can't say much else. |
| Disgaea (TV) | Bad | Lame. Play the game instead. |
| Elfen Lied (TV) | Very good | Interesting show, with copious amounts of violence and a very interesting overall feel. Still, it's a bit overrated. |
| Eureka Seven (TV) | Masterpiece | My personal favorite series. Excellent characters, plot, animation, music, and overall story. Don't let the mecha genre turn you off from this one. |
| Excel Saga (TV) | Excellent | The best comedy anime ever. Every episode is a complete classic. |
| (The) Familiar of Zero (TV) | Excellent | Great all around, but it has a total non-ending. That's what happens when you adapt light novels into anime, though, I guess. Fortunately, there's a second season! |
| Fate/stay night (TV) | Decent | Fails to provide an accurate depiction of events in the game. Additionally, it misrepresents the characters to a large extent and lacks the elegance and power of the game. Decent enough if you don't plan to play the game, I suppose. |
| Figure 17 (TV) | Excellent | Very slow-paced, but highly engrossing. It's been a while since I've watched it. |
| Final Approach (TV) | Excellent | Awesome show! A great fusion of comedy and drama. Although the final episode makes for a pretty bad ending, I feel that it's more of a side episode in the scheme of things. Looking at it from the perspective of 12 being the real ending, I think the ending is excellent. Anyway, a really offbeat show. You'll either love it or hate it, I'm sure. |
| FLCL (OAV) | Excellent | Ah, yes, FLCL. A staple. I don't need to say much. |
| Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! (TV) | Masterpiece | Simply wonderful. Some of the best characters and development ever, along with a touching plotline. Incredible direction, art design, and music enhance the experience, as well. Also possesses perhaps the best ending of any show I've ever seen. |
| Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (TV) | Excellent | Extremely, extremely, extremely good. Definitely has the best art and animation of any series I've ever seen. |
| Gift - eternal rainbow (TV) | Excellent | Excellent series that is slightly brought down by a lack of character development for less major characters and a dry spell in the middle. Great ending. |
| Gravitation (TV) | Good | Surprisingly decent. |
| Gunbuster (OAV) | Very good | A classic, to say the least. I'm not sure how well it's aged, but it's still a great show... However, the fact that it's an OAV brings it down some - there's simply not enough character development going on, and a lot of thematic elements are not elaborated on. Still very worth the watch, though. |
| Gunbuster 2: Diebuster (OAV) | Masterpiece | Ah, now this is a fantastic series. It manages to do an incredible amount with its six episodes - I can't really complain about anything lacking due to time, because it manages to cover everything important. Awesome character development, especially for such a short show. The plot itself is fantastic, the directing is flawless, and the art and animation are jaw-dropping. Although it drags slightly in the first part of the series, I can think of no other complaints. Truly a must-watch - if only for the ending alone, which can only be described as transcendental. Make sure to watch the first Gunbuster beforehand, though. |
| Gurren Lagann (TV) | Excellent | Pure burning spirit and GAR until the end, which ruins it all. |
| Haibane Renmei (TV) | Excellent | Another classic of the genre - even non-anime fans like this. Again, I don't need to explain. |
| Haré+Guu (TV) | Excellent | Probably the second-best comedy series of all time. Excellent characters. |
| Haré+Guu Deluxe (OAV) | Excellent | The best Guu series overall. |
| Infinite Ryvius (TV) | Excellent | Perfect until the ending. |
| Jubei-Chan 2: The Counterattack of Siberia Yagyu (TV) | Very good | Basically the first season with some marked improvements. Has some of the most ridiculous fight scenes ever. |
| Jubei-Chan The Ninja Girl - Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch (TV) | Very good | Great series. Similar to Nanoha in a way... Great music, art, characters, and fight scenes. |
| Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Final (OAV) | Excellent | Not as good as Deluxe, but better than the original and has THE RPG EPISODE. |
| Kanon (TV 2/2006) | Excellent | One of the most beautiful-looking shows I've ever seen. Excellent directing the entire way through, even if some subplots drag on. Despite all of its flaws, many of which are a problem of the source material and Key's writing, it manages to shine through in the end. The ending manages to go above and beyond what I expected of it, as well, and provide a fulfilling conclusion to the series. Highly recommended. |
| Lamune (TV) | Excellent | A slow moving series that, nonetheless, has a deliberate flow. Very likable and well-done characters. The high point of the show is definitely the ending - it is clearly powerful and undeniably moving. The slow deliberateness leading up to it is extremely well-done, as well. An understated, perhaps even... quietly beautiful series that showcases some wonderful drama. The first half is mostly light fluff, but it serves as a good way to introduce the characters... I suppose every renai game adaptation does this. All in all, an excellent, excellent watch. |
| Loveless (TV) | Good | Excellent art, interesting theme and story, and pretty good characters. |
| Lucky Star (TV) | Excellent | http://www.tsukuru.info/b/2007/09/18/lucky-star-in-review/ |
| Lunar Legend Tsukihime (TV) | Decent | Decent when I saw it, but now that I've played the game, I realize what a butchery it is. |
| Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (TV) | Excellent | The first five episodes are very average and generic; however, after episode 6, it becomes extremely, extremely good. Highly recommended, if only so you can watch the sequel... |
| Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (TV) | Masterpiece | Incredible. The first series is excellent, but this series is fantastic. No drawn-out intro, more action, more characters, better character development, better art and animation, and a more interesting story overall. A must-see. |
| (The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) | Very good | It's a decent enough show, even if the characters ARE horribly one-dimensional. Well, except Kyon. He's cool. |
| Murder Princess (OAV) | Very good | http://www.tsukuru.info/b/2007/09/24/murder-princess/ |
| Mushi-Uta (TV) | Very good | Starts off slow, but builds up well and has a great ending. Excellent soundtrack. |
| My Bride is a Mermaid (TV) | Excellent | The best romantic comedy out there. GONZO's best show. Amazing ending. |
| My-HiME (TV) | Masterpiece | An amazing show. It was the first fansub I ever watched, and it still remains one of my all-time favorite series. Outstanding in every area - this one is a must-watch. |
| My-Otome (TV) | So-so | Very enjoyable, but quite a let-down after the greatness of Mai HiME. |
| My-Otome Zwei (OAV) | Good | Better than Otome! |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) | Excellent | I do like Evangelion, but opinions on the internet are highly polarized about it. I'll just go with the fact that I like it. |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie) | Excellent | Excellent conclusion to a great series. |
| Ninja Nonsense (TV) | Very good | Very funny. Wouldn't be notable without Onsokumaru. |
| Noein - to your other self (TV) | Excellent | I'm not sure what to say. But. It was good. |
| Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling for Me! (TV) | Very good | Weak ending, but I really enjoyed the show. Nice directing and art/animation. |
| Outlaw Star (TV) | Good | Toonami, except this show is good. |
| Pani Poni Dash! (TV) | Excellent | Yeah, forget Excel Saga. This is the best comedy series. Utterly insane otaku humor at crazy high speeds. More references and cameos than you can shake a stick at. Awesome art. Hilarious characters. This show rules. |
| Paranoia Agent (TV) | Very good | Interesting style, narrative, and characters. Great music, too. |
| Rozen Maiden (TV) | Excellent | Pretty damn awesome actually. Great characters and animation. |
| Rozen Maiden: Träumend (TV) | Masterpiece | Even better than the first season! We need a third season, right now. |
| Rumbling Hearts (TV) | Excellent | Rumbling Hearts is a gay name, but this show rules. |
| School Days (TV) | Excellent | I wish I knew what to say about this. |
| Scrapped Princess (TV) | Excellent | Awesome. Hooks you in the first half with very engaging characters, then tells a very interesting sci-fi/fantasy story in the second half. There's a slight dip in quality a little after the halfway point, and there are some hackneyed plot points/devices, but overall, a very strong show. Excellent ending. |
| Serial Experiments Lain (TV) | Excellent | The show that got me into anime. I'll always have a soft spot for this one, even if it's nowhere near some other shows. |
| Shakugan no Shana (TV) | Decent | It's pretty all right. Silly ending. |
| She, The Ultimate Weapon (TV) | Decent | What the hell. It's way overdone, but the scenes themselves are well-made. The ending is surprisingly upbeat...? |
| Sola (TV) | Excellent | Incredible series, mediocre ending. Great characters.
Very very nice aesthetics throughout the entire run. Beautiful music too. |
| Speed Grapher (TV) | Excellent | An engrossing plot and interesting characters. The ending is very good. |
| Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry (TV) | Good | Definitely has its ups and downs. Pretty interesting overall, with some very cool scenes here and there. Is brought down a bit by a few really terrible episodes, but the rest makes up for it. A surprisingly good ending. |
| _Summer (OAV) | Good | It has no plot or ending, but the characters are likable and it's pretty fun to watch. |
| Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever (OAV) | Very good | Surprisingly good. Based on a series of games (the same series that Nanoha is based on), so there's obviously going to be a good deal of loose ends and inconsequential characters. For what it is, though, it's very good. Very stylish. |
| Tsuki wa Higashi ni Hi wa Nishi ni - Operation Sanctuary (TV) | Very good | Wow, uh, this is surprisingly good. Unexpected and fulfilling ending combined with neat characters makes for a neat little show. Could use a bit more exposition, though, but it's only 12 half-length episodes, so... Probably the second-best of the half-length episode eroge adaptations, after Final Approach and above W-Wish. |
| Utawarerumono (TV) | Decent | So much potential, but it was all wasted. |
| When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) | Excellent | Incredibly, incredibly interesting. Awesome gore scenes. It doesn't follow the games very closely, though, and the art is bad. |
| W~Wish (TV) | Good | Really interesting premise. The characters were a bit annoying and the shortness of the episodes made it kind of disjointed, but that was all made up for by how mind-expanding the second half was. Thought-provoking, at least. |
