TheGotank's Anime

Seen all Rating Comment
5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Very good Ugh... Terribly overrated in my opinion. There isn't nearly enough material for viewers to develop any sort of sympathy for the characters. While the whole 'love that doesn't work out' theme isn't very commonly seen in anime, it's nothing ground breaking. The interesting metaphors were worth a thought though.
Air (TV) Good What? A crow? Who are the two kids at the end? Gao!? So confused 0.0; -7.5/10
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka (TV) Good Typical harem series with Kugimiya lead... Somewhat controversial ending. A few pretty good laugh out loud moments.
Akikan! (TV) Weak Soda cans turn into girls. I'll give it to the creators - they certainly had guts to write something so ridiculous.
Bleach (TV) So-so Naruto with swords... Why can't anyone ever stay dead? -7/10 for beginning -5.7/10 currently
Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody Decent Um... what happened in this one again?
Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion (movie 2) So-so Synopsis: Crippled kid walks around and falls over continuously to remind the audiences that he's injured, only to have the injuries vanish magically in the final battle.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) Good You live with an angel from the future, who kills you, repeatedly.
Chobits (TV) Good Fanservice with philosophy and an overarching moral, interesting mix... -7/10
Clannad (movie) Good Meh, it's a key story not told through the eyes and pens of Kyoani... Art and animation are all a notch down, plus the story is over-simplified and eventually cut short if I'm not mistaken. All the other characters are almost completely neglected.
Clannad (TV) Excellent I fall off my chair once in a while laughing with this series. Even the starfish arc isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. -9.2/10
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) Excellent Omg there's like pizzas, and chess, and giant robots, and oranges, and... and... -9.2/10
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (TV) Masterpiece One of the best endings I've ever seen in anime. While Light may be more intelligent, Lelouch is definitely the more compassionate of the two geniuses. -9.4/10
Death Note (TV) Excellent Ok, so I'll write one of the best stories ever seen in anime, and then pair it with one of the worst OPs possible... As a fan, I'm disappointed in the ending, but from a critic's perspective, it couldn't have been any better. *Sigh* And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling kid...-9.0/10
ef: a tale of melodies (TV) Excellent Still wow, but to a lesser degree =p Yuuko's story wasn't terribly well executed.
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Masterpiece Wow... Everything... Wow.... -9.5/10
(The) Familiar of Zero (TV) Very good Commoner -> Dog -> Water flea.... I sure wouldn't like to be Saito. Oh, ending of season 2 was nice. -7.8/10 - first season; -7/10 - second season;
(The) Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Twin Moons (TV) Good See 'The Familiar of Zero' season 1. Except the ending is really awesome.
(The) Familiar of Zero: Rondo of Princesses (TV) So-so A new villain comes along with some undeclared motives, and there's a random elf in the show for very little reason. Later on one of Louise's classmates defects to the dark side, and the gang tries to bring her back. Plenty of cringe inducing fanservice towards the end of the series. I mean c'mon... A bit more and this would turn into hentai... It failed in all the places season 2 failed, and also failed in the few places season 2 succeeded (great OP, very emotional ending). So now it's just... a failure. -5.5/10
Fate/stay night (TV) Very good If they ever decide to completely do a remake of FSN focusing on Archer's path, I'd be more than willing to completely pretend this didn't happen. Still, it wasn't bad. -7.8/10
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Excellent Awesome... The amazing plot is filled with mystery like a Harry Potter novel. -8.5/10
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa Very good So confused... Hitler... Then it ended... What?
Ga-Rei-Zero (TV) Very good Go clothing iron of death! Nice ending! A surprising little twist that makes everything a little more bittersweet.
Gurren Lagann (TV) Very good Kick reason and plot depth to the curb! -8.5/10
H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) Excellent Great ending, and the plot in general had a ton of potential. Too bad it was terribly executed for the most part. If this thing gets a remake from Kyoani... I shudder for Kanon's sake. -8.3/10
Hand Maid May (TV) Not really good In a world where female robots are sold, the protagonist buys one. Surprise! -6/10
Hayate the Combat Butler (TV) Good As the title suggests, it's a 'combat butler' anime, so it's like 'mahou shoujo', except for guys. Although Hayate does turn female on occasion. Evil flower vases and dirty laundry come to life and threaten the fate of the mansion, etc. etc. If you understood that synopsis, then you're obviously thinking too much. -7.2/10
Ichigo 100% (TV) Bad So… I watched this series thinking it was some sort of Bleach spin-off (which is actually a mistake on that note as well), and I get this thing… Bunch of guys like a girl, bunch of girls like a guy, they do various school related things… etc. -5.5/10
Inuyasha (TV) Decent "I want to change the world~..." "Inuyasha!" "Kagome!!" "Inuyasha!!!" "Wind Scar!!!" "Inuyasha!" "Kagome!!!!!" -6.7/10
InuYasha the Movie 2: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass Good See season 1 comments.
InuYasha the Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler Good See season 1 comments.
InuYasha the Movie 4: Fire on the Mystic Island Good See season 1 comments.
InuYasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time Good See season 1 comments.
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens (TV) Very good Yep... Crazy shrine maidens pretty much sums it up... Isn't it nice these days to get exactly what you're expecting out of an anime?
Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox (TV) Weak I have breasts. Oh, you already know? Well, let me just make sure you don't forget. Yes, I indeed have breasts. And they bounce too! Breasts. -5/10
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Masterpiece Absolutely beautiful story and perfect execution. Stunning visuals and great sound. -9.6/10
Kaze no Stigma (TV) Very good I should have dropped this at 22. I should have dropped this at 22. I should have dropped this at 22. Stupid plot hole and characters' descent into lameness ruined an otherwise very very entertaining series...
Kurokami The Animation (TV) Very good Great animation. I do admit that the protagonist turned terribly cliched later on though. Interesting relevation towards the end of the series. I wish a few things could have been explained a bit better.
Macross Frontier (TV) Good A blob of mess with lots of awesome songs! Row row fight the power!
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (TV) Good Lol, English without an accent. Oh, and friendship speeches. To be honest, it was surprisingly decent and entertaining, considering its genre. -7.8/10
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (TV) Very good See season 1 comments.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Not really good God, moe, theme songs, dancing, Kyoto Animation, randomized episode order, and ponytails all mix together into one big bowl of confusion. -7.7/10
Myself; Yourself (TV) Excellent It was only above average for the first bunch of episodes, but then everything got crazy and turned out amazing! Episode 11 is godly.
Nabari no Ou (TV) Decent I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.... I wish the plot would move on...
Naruto (TV) So-so A ninja with a dream of becoming a 'hokage' discovers his hidden powers. Yes, the plot is exactly as you expect it to be, with lots of morality talks and 'for great justice' speeches. It's ninjas with DBZ style staring contests. -7.5 start, -5/10 currently.
Naruto Shippūden (TV) Awful See season 1 comments.
Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom (movie 3) So-so All I remember is that there's a fat guy that runs around during the movie... and not much else...
Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel (movie 2) So-so Erm, it was ok I guess... Don't remember much of it...
Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow Good I recall the action in this one being actually fairly decent, so it gets a good score =)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (TV) Good
Rozen Maiden (TV) Masterpiece Interesting dolls, unique premise, excellent music, and laugh out loud humor. Ahh... good times desu. -9.6/10
Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre (special) Masterpiece See season 1 comments.
Rozen Maiden: Träumend (TV) Masterpiece See season 1 comments.
Samurai Harem (TV) Good Saito's life prior to being abducted into the world of Zero no Tsukaima. Nice songs, average on all other regards.
School Rumble (TV) Very good Harima likes Tenma, Tenma likes Karasuma, and Karasuma likes kappa. Imagine a really wacky love triangle situation in a school setting, where everyone’s a natural airhead, and you’ll get School Rumble. Too bad the plot doesn't really go anywhere at all until about the third season, where the producers all of a sudden decided to end it all too quickly. -7.8/10
School Rumble Sangakki (OAV) Very good See season 1 comments.
School Rumble: 2nd Semester (TV) Good See season 1 comments.
School Rumble: Extra Class (OAV) Good See season 1 comments.
Sekirei (TV) Decent Type-Moon called, they want their story back. Less than impressive jumble of loose ends.
Shakugan no Shana (TV) Very good Pretty good. It's quite unique as far as setting goes. Great theme songs. -8.2/10
Shakugan no Shana (movie) Very good See season 1 comments. I'd have lowered the score a bit because the movie is almost an exact retelling of the first arc in season one, except the awesome theme song (Akai Namida) made up for it =)
Shakugan no Shana Second (TV) Very good See season 1 comments.
Shakugan no Shana SP: Koi to Onsen no Kōgai Gakushū! (OAV) Very good See season 1 comments.
Shuffle! (TV) Weak Random guy finds a bunch of girls in a school attracted to him for little to no reason. And then I stopped watching. Good OP though. -6.5/10
Sola (TV) Very good Surprisingly well-planned story. Too bad the 'sky' theme was hyped through the story , but really didn't go anywhere at all.
Spice and Wolf (TV) Very good Lelouch and Kallen decide they no longer care about Britainnia or Japan, and decide to go merchanting instead. Guren gets remodeled into a giant wolf. -7.8/10
Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) Good Surprisingly amazing English voice acting for Karinka. The OST is absolutely phenomenal. But then everything else average at best. Season two is a joke, but not the funny kind. -6.9/10 for Season 1; -5.5/10 for Season 2.
Steel Angel Kurumi 2 (TV) Bad See season 1 comments.
Steel Angel Kurumi Encore (OAV) Very good Hey, this is actually pretty funny! If only the series itself could have been like this...
Steel Angel Kurumi Zero (OAV) So-so Erm, what's happening here? It feels like the producers had some deep insight into society and the meaning of life or something, but failed horribly when they tried to convey it... At least the ending song was nice...
True Tears (TV) Very good Flying chickens, etc.
Utawarerumono (TV) Very good Haruhi, meet Hakuro; Hakuro, meet Haruhi. Good OP/ED. Pretty decent plot. Interesting and unexpected ending. I don't like how everyone calls this a 'catgirl harem series', when the ears and tails are clearly those of Australian flying squirrels, making this an ‘Australian flying squirrel harem series’; and I wouldn't even consider this a harem series at all. -8.3/10
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Very good Guy moves into a small town, where he entangles himself into various life-threatening situations involving the history of the town and its inhabitants, usually resulting in his death. Nipah~ -8/10
