Will not finish Rating Comment
Accel World (TV) Good
Black Rock Shooter (TV) Good
Bleach (TV) Good The first 50 or so episodes I am a fan of, but after that it slowly but surely begins to stretch out its lifespan.
Bodacious Space Pirates (TV) Decent
Copihan (ONA) Bad これはパンツ入りのアニメかよwww。 With all due respect, though, the comments on Nico Nico were funnier to read than the actual show itself; needless to say, nearly everyone was very much disappointed with what they saw.
Cromartie High School (TV) Good
D-Frag! (TV) Decent
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Weak Just from the first episode alone I could tell I wasn't going to enjoy this. It suffers from exactly what The Place Promised In Our Early Days suffers from: it's waay too slow and has a female cast that's too cute and ditzy, and moreover it came off to me as melodramatic. The girl with the eyepatch caught my attention, but I'm not motivated enough to follow this series to the end.
(The) Everyday Tales of a Cat God (TV) Weak This... was just a boring show. There was nothing special about it, the story wasn't funny or intriguing and... hm.
(The) Familiar of Zero (TV) Decent This is another show that despite being fairly interesting and having a good premise, I was only able to hold my interest up until the fourth episode. I wasn't disappointed by the show per se, but I couldn't find myself wanting to watch any more episodes despite my interest in the series.
Fist of the North Star (TV) Good Boy do I sure feel like a man after I watch an episode of this. Though I've only seen like three. Good enough!
Fractale (TV) Good I actually made it to the third to last episode on this series, and then I just... stopped. I had been forcing myself to watch this series from the very first episode, and finally by the tenth episode I'd run out of steam and was kind of bored while I was watching it. I thought I would have enjoyed it more, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out to me as a novel idea.
High School of the Dead (TV) Good This actually is a fairly good show and I wouldn't hate to watch it all the way through, but for some reason I don't feel like watching such a gory show, not necessarily because I don't enjoy it, but because after watching such a show (where cute girls get massacred, awww!) I have a bad week afterwards just because I feel bad for the characters that get killed. So really it's an issue with myself, not the show.
I Don't Like You At All, Big Brother!! (TV) Good
Inuyasha (TV) Decent KAGOMEEE!!!! INUYASHAAAAA!
Karin (TV) Decent The problem that I had with this adaptation of the manga was that, while the presentation of the manga made it so you didn't even realize you were reading a shoujo manga—and it was very self-driven and to the point—the anime strays a lot and reeks of serialization, not to mention it uses up a lot of its time for cheap laughs instead of actual story development. I also disliked how Karin's nosebleeds are made into a joke rather than an actual ailment as in the manga; in the anime I didn't feel very bad for Karin's condition. In all, the manga is motivated and strong while the anime is just a romantic comedy that happens to have vampires in it.
Kill Me Baby (TV) Decent
Kyōran Kazoku Nikki (TV) Very good I found Kyouran Kazoku Nikki to be pretty funny, and Shino and I enjoyed it both as a guilty pleasure. This is another case of me finishing almost the entire series and just giving up, however, due to it being an idle comedy and a melodrama at its plot-driven segments at best. I found the premise and characters to be intriguing, but I can't say that I have enough passion to go through to the end of the story, if it ends at all.
Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father! (TV) Decent I really liked the first two episodes, but as soon as they killed off the girls' parents, I was set on not finishing this. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO MAKE A SEMI-INCEST STORY, GAIZ. EDIT: SO I watched a few more episodes a few months later because I saw some cute (read: sexy) artwork from the show, and being the teenage boy that I am I decided to give the series another go. DIDN'T WORK! I still don't like this show and gave up after another three episodes.
Mao-chan (TV) So-so
Mayo Chiki! (TV) Decent I was actually very impressed with the first half of the first episode; the main character is witty and interesting, his little sister is the cutest thing in the world, and the plot of having a girl cross dress as a man is never a terrible story. My issue was the fact that the story relied on a few events that constantly struck me as... forced, should I say? For example, the whole, "YOU SAW MY PANTIES SO NOW YOU MUST DIE" or, "Watch out, that jar is going to hit you! *shove* OH SHIT I RIPPED AAAALL OF YOUR CLOTHES OFF!" seemed, well, stupid, to be frank. I was a bit let down since I was looking forward to this series. I may give it another go in the future, but for now, I have no plans to watch past even the first episode.
Minami-ke (TV) Good I didn't have very many issues with Minami-ke, but for some reason I had no real motivation to continue watching this show. None of the characters struck me as very interesting (the middle sister is sometimes a bit noisy, even) and the jokes didn't really make me laugh. A bit of a shame, since I'd heard a lot about this show!
Musashi (TV) Awful Holy shit, an anime can ACTUALLY be this terrible... www Anyways, this anime is basically a bunch of moving still images on a crappy jpeg image background with weird music. Hilarious in that sense.
Nadia - The Secret of Blue Water (TV) Good
Naruto (TV) Decent Mmm, it begins to stink of filler and "serialization" later on, and the aim of the show is blurred as it trudges along, not to mention story arcs drag on really long.
Nintama Rantaro (TV) Very good
Occult Academy (TV) Good I wasn't exactly disappointed with Occult Academy in any way, and I actually really liked its opening theme and characters. Yet one day I just stopped watching after finishing a good portion of the series and never continued. Moreover, I have no intention or plans to finish it due to my lack of any real fond memories of the show in particular.
Ojamajo Doremi (TV) Very good Not that I'm not EVER going to watch it again, but I can't foresee any time when I'll actively watch it. It was a good show when I was a little kid, and the nostalgia factor is definitely high.
Ojarumaru (TV) Very good
Place to Place (TV) Decent
Polar Bear's Café (TV) Not really good This was a... very boring show. I didn't laugh the entire first episode, and moreover was waiting for the episode to either end or do something interesting before the sudden ending theme. At least the opening theme was catchy.
Renkin 3-kyū Magical? Pokān (TV) Very good What can I say but that this show is a complete guilty pleasure? BUT WHY DO I LIKE IT SO MUCH.
Sengoku Collection (TV) Very good
Strawberry Marshmallow (TV) Good Funny and cute, but at certain points I felt more bad or slightly aggravated by Miu's childish behavior rather than amused. I really wanted to love this show, but it just wasn't meant to be!
Waiting in the Summer (TV) So-so
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Good
(The) World of GOLDEN EGGS (TV) Bad Not as funny as I would have expected; Sekken-ya's parody/tribute was FAR funnier than the actual thing.
Yuruyuri - Happy Go Lily (TV) Decent I was very excited for this show based on the fact that many of my favorite artists were drawing characters from this show and it looked adorable, so when the first episode came off to me as a semi-funny moe show with not a lot to offer, I was really disappointed.
Zoids/ZERO (TV) Decent
