(The) Big O (TV)GoodI can see why it's been compared to the Batman Animated Series. The style and soundtrack are very similar. But I like the traditional anime styles better and also I'm not a big fan of giant mecha/robot anime (although there are exceptions). Still, it's not bad.
Bleach (TV)MasterpieceWow this series brings back that feeling of awe I had when I was a child watching Saint Seiya. The character designs are excellent as well.
Cardcaptor Sakura (TV)Very goodLighthearted fluff, but very good fluff :)
Cowboy Bebop (TV)MasterpieceVery detailed rich world. Can't help but get immersed in it.
D.N.Angel (TV)GoodA bit childish but still a joy to watch.
Death Note (TV)MasterpieceTop notch story, can't wait to see more!
Eureka Seven (TV)
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV)Very goodA good package, but there's just something missing that I can't put my finger on.
Gunslinger Girl (TV)GoodWatched a few episodes, nothing too exciting yet. Not bad either.
Hunter X Hunter (TV 1999)ExcellentI really enjoyed watching this. I sat through 20 or so episodes of it on one weekend and it was a pure joy. (I watched a Chinese fansub of this). Good story and of course I have a soft spot for characters fighting through stages (i.e. Saint Seiya; Bleach; Fate/Stay Night).
Ikkyū-san (TV 1975)
Love Hina (TV)WeakI don't know why I watched this or why it's got such high praises. I really struggled through it. There's barely a plot, I don't find it funny or amusing. The English dub was horrible. etc. etc.
Saint Seiya (TV)Very goodI enjoyed watching this immensely when I was a kid. Good times. However the old series doesn't quite hold up to the test of time. But some of the newer stuff is not bad. (Note: This fits in my own category of "action anime where the hero(s) must fight through one stage after another")
Spiral (TV)Very goodAnimation quality is so-so. But I like the story development so far.

Ah! My Goddess (TV)GoodCharming, but bland at times.
Ah! My Goddess: The MovieGoodWhy did the English voice actors change? This was a major downer.
Appleseed (movie)ExcellentGreat action. But something's just not completely right with all the CG.
Black Lagoon (TV)
Blood+ (TV)MasterpieceMy new favorite anime. Hits the perfect note in every single way for me. Loved all the characters, especially Hagi, Solomon, and Carl. I hope this gets released on dvd soon. This is the one show I will collect at any cost :)
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie)
Castle in the Sky (movie)Very goodIt's showing it's age, still a good story.
(The) Cat Returns (movie)GoodI actually don't remember much of this movie except it wasn't bad.
Chobits (TV)Very goodChi is extremely cute. Sumomo is pretty amusing. An intriguing plot, but missing a certain excitement.
Elfen Lied (TV)Very goodTalk about bloody! Horror, love, angst, more horror .... Good show but I don't think I can watch it again.
Ergo Proxy (TV)ExcellentDark. The setting reminds me of that Aeon Flux movie. Very stylish.
Fate/stay night (TV)MasterpieceAbsolutely loved this one! Animation, plot, characters and action are all excellent. It's my type of show. My fave character? Archer
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (US CG movie)ExcellentHeard bad reviews about this one. But I actually kinda liked it. The CGI was pretty good and the story as well.
Full Metal Panic! (TV)Very goodFunny and exciting at times but not enough depth. Souske is cool though :)
Ghost in the Shell (movie)ExcellentVery deep, memorable music. I need to watch it again.
Grave of the Fireflies (movie)Very goodA truely depressing and sad film. Probably won't watch again.
Hana no Ko Lunlun (TV)
Hellsing (TV)Very goodWas great in the beginning, but started to deteriorate some time afterwards. Good thing it was a shorter series.
Howl's Moving Castle (movie)Very goodGood movie but not up to par as Spirited Away or Mononoke.
Kiki's Delivery Service (movie)GoodI remember lots of skirts flapping in the wind :o)
Last Exile (TV)ExcellentAwe-inspiring animation. Story not quite as good as the animation, especially towards the end. Oh why did *whatshisname* have to *youknowwhat*??!! :(
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (movie)Very goodEntertaining. A bit old though.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV)ExcellentThis is a pretty fun and funny anime. I can't stop giggling at some points. Smooth animation, beautiful color coordination.
My Neighbor Totoro (movie)ExcellentThis movie puts a smile on my face. Really liked the main theme music too.
My-HiME (TV)ExcellentSuper powers, destinies, fate, angst, lots of action, what's not to like?! Oh wait, I didn't care much for Mikoto.
My-Otome (TV)ExcellentI like it about the same as My-Hime, which means I really liked it a lot :)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie)ExcellentGiant bugs and giant bug babies!!
Porco Rosso (movie)ExcellentThe protagonist is a pig!! Sort of. Very enjoyable.
Princess Mononoke (movie)MasterpieceThe first Miyazaki film I ever saw. It was truly beautiful with a powerful story.
R.O.D -The TV-ExcellentLots of fun and excitement. Love the 3 paper sisters, my favorite is the eldest sister Michelle. Excellent music as well.
Read or Die (OAV)ExcellentWho would've thought a nerdy bookworm can be a cool super agent that has the power to manipulate paper in whatever way she wants?? Yeah, only the creators of anime would :)
Samurai 7 (TV)Very goodGood overall, but the clash (or unclash) between hi and low tech seemed somehow unnatural.
Spirited Away (movie)MasterpieceVery imaginative. Liked it very much.
Steamboy (movie)GoodOverly long and drawn out.
Whisper of the Heart (movie)MasterpieceI'm giving this the highest rating possible even though it's not my favorite genre. This film has the magic of making me feel so good the whole way through.
Witch Hunter Robin (TV)ExcellentSo what is the difference between a witch and a craft-user anyway?
Wolf's Rain (TV)ExcellentThis is the anime that got me into my anime craze (I hadn't been interested in anime since watching some as a kid). I saw the first 2 episodes and was greatly impressed, and hence started looking for all kinds of anime to watch. Thank you Wolf's Rain!
