07-Ghost (TV)BadDull doujinshi bait.
Bakemonogatari (TV)Worst everPandering harem schlock done up with bells and whistles in an attempt to distract the viewer from its hideous true form. Too bad the bells ring hollow and the whistles are shrill. I rate this particular piece of pandering, harem schlock lower than other examples because of A) its attempts to disguise its ugly nature with 'artsy' maneuvers which are bereft of meaning, and B) the fact that so many people have fallen hook, line, and sinker for its siren call. No, internet, this is NOT the most intelligent, deep, and meaningful series of 2009, let alone the decade, let alone ever. This is a show which wallows in every trope, character cliche, and rank fetish which bloats anime, and then has the gall to wink and pretend what it's doing is clever subversion. It is anything but.
Bleach (TV)DecentOh boy, another million episode series starring a hot-headed boy with amazing talent for [insert NINJOSITY/SPIRITOSITY/PIRATOSITY/PUNCHOSITY here]. Every aspect of this series has been done before, but I'm still kind of entertained when I bother to watch. Used to have this as "So-So" but I like Orihime so much that she alone has pushed it up to Decent.
A Certain Magical Index (TV)AwfulIncredibly generic. The characters, situations, and plotting have all been done ten thousand times before. And FUUUCK the loli schoolteacher! This fucking moe garbage, I swear to god. Update: officially dropped half-way through ep. 19. AKA the episode with the naked, even more outrageously underaged clone of the angry lightening chick who WON'T FUCKING STOP SAYING HER NAME "MISAKA MISAKA MISAKA MISAKA MISAKA" FUCK EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.
Dragon Ball Z (TV)AwfulHas anyone ever actually finished DBZ? I propose that anybody saying they did is a lying liar who lies. Or psychotic.
GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class (TV)So-soBoring and unfunny, but not as bad as moe can get. At least it's a DULL boring and unfunny, not a sexist/offensive/fanservicey boring and unfunny.
Golden Boy (OAV)Worst everDouble ugh.
Haruka Nogizaka's Secret (TV)BadMoe and, therefore, horrifically boring.
Inukami! (TV)AwfulFFFFFUUUUUUUU
Inuyasha (TV)AwfulInuYawnsha: the series that gets old FAST for anyone sporting more than three braincells.
K-ON! (TV)BadThe ONLY THING that was even remotely acceptable about the two episodes I saw was the reference to Detroit Metal City. Everything else: abominable, worthless moe garbage. Even worse, the "main character seems honestly mentally retarded" school of moe garbage.
Kamen no Maid Guy (TV)Worst everFeaturing some of the most impressive misogyny this side of Golden Boy!
Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You (TV)Not really good
(The) Legend of Black Heaven (TV)Not really good
Love Hina (TV)AwfulUgh.
Magician's Academy (TV)Worst everI wish it was possible to hurt this show physically and emotionally, because I would do both.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV)Bad
Naruto (TV)BadHow on earth did they manage to make ninjas boring?
Psychic Squad (TV)BadThis surely is some shitty shit, son.
(The) Super Milk-chan Show (TV)AwfulBARF.
Toradora! (TV)AwfulOne of the most outrageously overrated series of all time.
Trinity Blood (TV)WeakWow, this isn't very good. Catholicism + Vampires + Vash the Vampede = farts.
Zegapain (TV)WeakBoooooriiiiiing
