Seen all Rating Comment
009-1 (TV) Very good
1+2=Paradise (OAV) Decent
2001 Ya Monogatari (OAV) Not really good
3D Magical Play (OAV) So-so An alternate retelling that is very different from the other, but still adds quite a bit to the Mahou Yuugi world.
3x3 Eyes (OAV) Decent
3x3 Eyes Seima Densetsu (OAV) Decent
5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Good
8 Man After (OAV) Very good
801 T.T.S. Airbats (OAV) Decent
A-Channel (TV) Very good I don't think this qualifies as shoujo-ai, much less yuri (as someone has it tagged on its page). There is some (pretty minor) implication of something possibly vaguely along those lines, but it could hardly be compared to Aoi Hana or Sasameki Koto.
A.LI.CE (movie) Weak
(The) Abashiri Family (OAV) Bad
AD Police (OAV) Decent
(The) Adventures of Kotetsu (OAV) Very good
Aeon Flux (live-action movie) Good
Agent Aika (OAV) Decent
Ah! My Goddess (TV) Not really good
Ah! My Goddess: The Movie Good
AIKa R-16: Virgin Mission (OAV) Decent
AIKa ZERO (OAV) Decent
Akahori Gedō Hour Rabuge (TV) Good
Aki Sora (OAV) Good
Aki Sora: Yume no Naka (OAV) Decent
Akiba-chan (TV) Decent
Akikan! (TV) Decent The problem with a parody show is that even in mockery it still does all the stupid crap it is making fun of. Akikan! has some great moments, but is still a "sudden girlfriend" kind of show.
Akikan! (OAV) Decent
Alien Nine (special) Decent
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OAV) Very good
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (TV) Very good
Allison & Lillia (TV) Good
Amatsuki (TV) Very good
Amazing Nurse Nanako (TV) Bad
Amazing Nuts! (OAV) Not really good
Amuri in Star Ocean (OAV) Awful
And Yet the Town Moves (TV) Very good This is the funniest show I have seen in a long time. I almost rated it excellent.
Android Ana Maico 2010 (TV) Excellent The manga of this is also very good. ...and completely different.
Android Kikaider - The Animation (TV) Decent awww... he didn' explode.
Angel Beats! (TV) Very good I'm not the first to say it, but seriously, I did not expect this show to be good. Unlike many of the people saying it, however, I am not exactly a fan of Key.
Angel Densetsu (OAV) Good
Angel Sanctuary (OAV) Worst ever
Angel Tales (TV) Bad
Angel's Egg (movie) Decent This one's kind of out there. You might like it if you like Eraserhead.
Ani-Kuri 15 (special) Good
Animal Crossing (movie) Good Weird...
Animation Runner Kuromi (OAV) Good
(The) Animatrix (OAV) Very good
Anime Sanjūshi: Aramis no Bōken (movie) Decent
Anime Tenchō (OAV) So-so
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) Excellent
Anoko ni 1000% (OAV) Not really good
Antique Heart (OAV) Decent
Aoi & Mutsuki: A Pair of Queens (TV) Not really good
Aoi Bungaku Series (TV) Good
Appleseed (OAV) Good This doesn't follow the manga very closely. In fact, I don't remember anything in this OVA that explains why it is called Appleseed.
Appleseed (movie) Very good
Appleseed: Ex Machina (movie) Very good
Aquatic (movie) Decent
Aquatic Language (special) Excellent
Arakawa Under the Bridge (TV) Good
Arashi no Yoru ni (movie) Very good
Arc the Lad (TV) Bad
Area 88 (OAV) Decent This anime spends a lot of time showing off animation that is not exactly spectacular to today's viewers. You may find yourself yawning periodically, but it really picks up at the end.
Aria the Animation (TV) Good
Ariel (OAV) Decent
Ariel Deluxe (OAV) Decent
Armitage III (OAV) Masterpiece One of my all time favorite OVAs. The art is sharper in polymatrix, but the story is more complete here.
Armitage III: Poly-Matrix (movie) Excellent I recommend the OVA over this, since it is the same basic story.
Armitage: Dual-Matrix (movie) Masterpiece
Armored Dragon Legend Villgust (OAV) So-so
Assemble Insert (OAV) Good
Astarotte's Toy (TV) Very good
Asura Cryin' (TV) Good
(The) Asylum Session (movie) Decent
Avenger (TV) Weak
Ayakashi (TV) Excellent Mushi Uta was really disappointing, especially after hearing so much about it beforehand. This series does some things right that Mushi Uta got very wrong.
Ayakashi - Samurai Horror Tales (TV) Excellent
Ayakashi Ayashi: Ayashi Divine Comedy (OAV) So-so
Ayane's High Kick (OAV) Excellent After seeing the ratings, I'm thinking this must be the sports anime for people who don't like all those poorly made, boring as hell, 4000 episode long sports animes that keep coming out, no matter how many of them are cloned.
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Very good
Azumanga Daioh - The Very Short Movie Excellent
Azumanga Web Daioh (ONA) Excellent
Azumi (live-action movie) Decent
Azumi 2: Death or Love (live-action movie) Not really good
Azusa, Otetsudai Shimasu! (special) Not really good
B Gata H Kei - Yamada’s First Time (TV) Very good This is one of those things I thought for sure would be absolutely terrible, but tried out anyway. It's nice that these things sometimes turn out to be pretty good.
Babel's Book (movie) Decent
Baby Blue (movie) Good
Baby Love (OAV) Weak
Baggy (movie) Decent
Bakemonogatari (TV) Very good
Baldr Force EXE (OAV) Very good
Bamboo Blade (TV) Masterpiece
Bannō Yasai Ninninman (movie) Good
BAOH (OAV) So-so
Bastard!! (OAV) Decent "What are you watching?" "Bastard!!" ... "I just wanted to know what you were watching." (I had this conversation when I was watching this show.)
Batman: Gotham Knight (movie) Good
Baton (movie) Decent
Battle Angel (OAV) Weak
(The) Beast Player Erin (TV) Decent This would actually be a really good show if it was judiciously edited. Fairly early on, I thought it might even be competition for Seirei no Moribito. Unfortunately the further along the story gets, the more reused material fills screentime. Worse still, most of the parts that aren't reprisals are the same kind of flashback, except with new material. It doesn't improve the feel of the thing any. I'm thinking the optimal story length would have been about 30 episodes, but I would have to see the 10 episode version to decide if it even makes sense with that much stuff cut out. I won't be listening to the soundtrack to this. I had all three songs memorized by the end of the first episode.
Berserk (TV 1997) Good
(The) Big O (TV) Weak
Big Wars (OAV) Very good
Birdy the Mighty (OAV) Very good I love this show. It's well thought out, and requires neither deep thinking nor a five second attention span. My only complaint is that it never had a sequel.
Birdy the Mighty Decode:02 (TV) Excellent
Birdy the Mighty: Decode (TV) Excellent
Birth (OAV) Weak While Birth is in many ways exactly the kind of show that was being made at the time, it also reminds me quite a bit of recent shows. Most of the bad old anime has the decency to suck outright so I know I don't want to watch it. Birth, like most new shows, takes its sweet time about deciding whether or not to suck. I finished watching most of it before I knew for sure it wasn't that great.
Bite Me! Chameleon (OAV) Good
Black Blood Brothers (TV) So-so
Black Cat (TV) Weak While the show itself seems like an attempt to supersaturate your brain with as many hackneyed anime overdoings as a committee of otaku can come up with, this program is helped greatly by its music. (By Iwasaki Taku, creator of music for Witch Hunter Robin, ROD TV, Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, Kekkaishi, 009-1. It's hardly his best work though.) Incidentally, it's not "Black Cat," but rather "Burakku Kyatto."
Black Jack The Movie Not really good
Black Lagoon (TV) Very good
Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage (TV) Very good
Black Rock Shooter (OAV) So-so
Blade of the Immortal (TV) Excellent I have only two complaints about this. It has glaring spaghetti-western music (which is only really annoying in the first couple of episodes and the last one) and it has no ending. I hope it gets a sequel, which is pretty good for a show I was expecting to turn off before the end of the first episode.
Blade of the Phantom Master (movie) Good
Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (OAV) Good
Blood+ (TV) Good Proof that you're never too young to have a Vietnam flashback.
Blood-C (TV) Decent
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) Not really good There's something to be said for action flicks that spawn awesome sequels.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) So-so
Blue Butterfly Fish (OAV) Decent
Blue Drop (TV) Excellent
Blue Gender (TV) Decent
Blue Sonnet (OAV) Awful
Blue Submarine No.6 (OAV) Good
Body Jack - Tanoshii Yutai Ridatsu (OAV) So-so
Boku wa Imōto ni Koi o Suru: Secret Sweethearts - Kono Koi wa Himitsu (OAV) Worst ever
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (OAV) Good
Boku, Otaryman (OAV) Decent
Bokurano (TV) Excellent
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan Second (OAV) So-so
Boogiepop Phantom (TV) So-so
(The) Boy Who Saw the Wind (movie) Weak
Boys Be... (TV) Good
Brave Story (movie) Good
Bride of Deimos (OAV) Decent
Brigadoon (TV) Not really good
Broken Blade (movie series) Excellent I rated this excellent, but it's kinda borderline between that and very good. In particular, there were parts where I was annoyed by how predictable it was. At any rate, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it didn't suck.
Bubblegum Crash (OAV) Very good
Bubblegum Crisis (OAV) Excellent
Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (TV) Weak
Bungaku Shōjo (movie) Not really good
Bunny Drop (TV) Very good
Burn Up W (OAV) Good
Burn Up! (OAV) Good
Burst Angel (TV) Very good
Burst Angel: Infinity (OAV) Very good
Bus Gamer (TV) Weak
Buso Renkin (TV) Decent This anime cracks me up. The last few episodes are over the top.
C – Control – The Money and Soul of Possibility (TV) Good
California Crisis: Gun Salvo (OAV) Decent
Call Me Tonight (OAV) Very good
CANAAN (TV) Very good
Candy Boy (ONA) Very good
Capricorn (OAV) Not really good Well, that was disappointing. I want to like old anime if it doesn't downright suck, but this has all the wrong kinds of cheese. As always, I got a kick out of the "(Person I met this morning,) WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE?!!?" part, but the way Wizardry did it was more amusing. (They actually say the line.)
Carol (OAV) Weak
Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran (TV) Excellent Even though it's a parody, this is an excellent samurai drama.
Casshern (live-action movie) Bad
Casshern Sins (TV) Not really good There are a lot of interesting things I could say about this anime, but the only lasting impressions I am likely to have are these: 1. It's depressing. Terribly so. 2. Every aspect of this thing is overdone. This fact alone does not make the show unwatchable, but the lack of variation can grow tiresome. It's like the creators made it over the top and pitched a tent in no man's land during the first few minutes, and remained there calmly roasting marshmallows for the duration of the series. It's boring. Or at least it will be, once you acclimate to the hail of stupidity bullets whizzing about. 3. There is a great deal of suckage where music is concerned. The small set of background music is reused to death, and it wasn't that great to begin with. Also, while I seldom pay any attention to OP/ED music (I skip over that part as much as I can on any show), this show has some of the worst I have ever had the misfortune of hearing. The OP is as painful to hear as a Backstreet Boys song. (Hanada actually goes as far as using one, so this isn't the only show with a frightening intro.)
Castle in the Sky (movie) Good
Cat Planet Cuties (TV) Good
(The) Cat Returns (movie) Very good
Cat Shit One: The Animated Series (ONA) Very good
Catnapped! The Movie Not really good
Cencoroll (movie) Very good
A Certain Magical Index (TV) Excellent This show can be a lot of fun, if you aren't annoyed by unimaginative parts of its creation. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting a little tired of seeing anime heroes that always win and, worse still, do it by somehow saving every opponent from himself.
A Certain Magical Index II (TV) Very good I found this show rather disappointing after the previous material. There are good things about it, but it was kind of annoying at times too.
A Certain Scientific Railgun (TV) Excellent I was looking forward to this almost as soon as I started watching Index. I found out there was a spinoff before even watching it, and it doesn't take long to realize Railgun is by far the most interesting character from the main story. That being said, I have to admit that one of the strengths of this show is sometimes getting away from her as the main character. She is absent from the show periodically and that helps prevent viewers from growing tired of her. The supporting cast is interesting enough in this side story for that to work well.
Chaos;HEAd (TV) Weak
Cherry no Manma (OAV) So-so
Chibits (special) Very good
Chiisana Jumbo (movie) Decent
Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief (TV) Very good I was afraid this would suck royally. I was glad to be proven wrong.
Chobits (TV) Good I love my computer.
Chobits (OAV) Weak
Chocotto Sister (TV) Decent Oh no! My doctor says it's chocosis! (Cue embarrassing medicine commercial.)
Chrome Shelled Regios (TV) Good
Chrono Crusade (TV) Decent
Chu-Bra!! (TV) Good
Cinderella Boy (TV) Good
Clannad (movie) Bad Yay! She's finally dea... I mean, uh... the movie's over.
Claymore (TV) Excellent NOT just another action anime, though the description makes it sound that way. Shadow Skill TV is strongly recommended for fans of this series.
Cleopatra (movie) Decent
Cleopatra D.C. (OAV) Good These OVAs remind me of the Dirty pair OVAs. The quality varies too much to make them particularly great overall, but they have some memorable parts. In the case of Cleopatra DC, the third episode is really good.
Clover (special) Weak
Cobra The Animation (TV) Good
Cobra The Animation: The Psychogun (OAV) Very good This show will be too much for anyone who doesn't like deliberate cheese. There are some parts that made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.
Cobra The Animation: Time Drive (OAV) Decent
CODE-E (TV) Excellent I saw a review of this that seemed to reflect the general feeling toward Code-E on the web. It basically said that the show was filled with cliche jokes, old character designs, etc. It then went into great detail about everything the show does that isn't funny. I finished reading it, and could only think "everything you just said wasn't funny wasn't a joke to begin with. Each event ended seconds before the actual punch line. Idiot." Maybe this thing only really works for a certain sense of humor. (The ANN user reviews are decent though.) I have to say that the characters are no less creative than those in 99.99% of the anime out there. I've seen more than enough to know.
Coicent (OAV) Decent
Comedy (OAV) Excellent
Compiler (OAV) Not really good
Connected (OAV) Weak
Cool Cool Bye (OAV) So-so
Corpse Princess: Aka (TV) Decent
Cosmos Pink Shock (OAV) Good
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Masterpiece
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Masterpiece
Coyote Ragtime Show (TV) Not really good
Crest of the Stars (TV) Very good
Crusher Joe: The Movie Good
Crystal Triangle (OAV) Bad Mmm... Delicious cheese.
Cutey Honey Flash (movie) Weak This is kinda borderline not really good/weak-ish, but I still wish I had done something better with my time.
D.C. ~Da Capo~ (TV) Weak I noticed that DC has terrible ratings compared to the other crap in it's genre. I can't understand why. DC is far better than a lot of the garbage that is created with this audience in mind.
D.N.Angel (TV) Not really good
D4 Princess (TV) Decent
(The) Dagger of Kamui (movie) Not really good
(The) Daichis - Earth Defence Family (TV) Excellent
Daicon films (special) So-so
Daimaju Gekito Hagane no Oni (OAV) So-so
Dallos (OAV) Very good
Damekko Dōbutsu (TV) Good
Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV) Good
Daphne in the Brilliant Blue (TV) Masterpiece
Dark Cat (movie) Decent
Darker than Black (TV) Good
Darker than Black - Kuro no Keiyakusha: Gaiden (OAV) Good
Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor (TV) Good
De:vadasy (OAV) Awful
Dead Girls (OAV) Decent
DearS (TV) Good
Death Note (TV) Good
Deathtic 4 (movie) Decent
Debutante Detective Corps (OAV) Decent
Delinquent in Drag (OAV) Awful Most of the humor exceeds the bounds of good taste. The remainder is utterly foul.
Delpower X Bakuhatsu Miracle Genki! (OAV) Good
Demon Fighter Kocho (OAV) Weak
Demon Hunter Makaryūdo (OAV) Decent
Demon King Daimao (TV) Very good
Demon Prince Enma (OAV) Good
Den-noh Coil (TV) Masterpiece
Dengeki Oshioki Musume Gōtaman R: Ai to Kanashimi no Final Battle (OAV) Decent
Dengeki Oshioki Musume Gōtaman: Gōtaman Tanjō-hen (OAV) Decent
Denpa teki na Kanojo (OAV) Excellent
Densha Otoko (live-action TV) Good
Desert Rose (OAV) Decent
Detatoko Princess (OAV) Decent This would be a lot better if it was more of a spoof. It's kind of like the slayers television shows so I think anyone who likes those could like this show as well.
Detroit Metal City (OAV) Excellent
(Le) Deus (OAV) So-so A decent show, right up to the point where Le Deus shows up :(
Devil Hunter Yohko (OAV) Not really good This gets quite a bit better over time, but it is never really spectacular.
Devil May Cry (TV) Weak
Devilman Lady (TV) Very good
Di Gi Charat (TV) Not really good
Di Gi Charat - A Trip to the Planet (movie) Not really good
Di Gi Charat Christmas Special Weak
Diamond Daydreams (TV) Very good
(The) Diary of Anne Frank (movie) So-so
(The) Diary of Tortov Roddle (ONA) Decent
Digital Juice (OAV) Good
Dimension Bomb (movie) Good
Dirty Pair (TV) Very good
Dirty Pair (OAV) Good
Dirty Pair OAV 1 Decent
Dirty Pair OAV 2 So-so
Dirty Pair OAV 3 Good
Dirty Pair OAV 4 Good
Dirty Pair OAV 5 Good
Dirty Pair: Affair on Nolandia (OAV) Not really good Very disappointing after the last one. I liked the "stuff & cast" bit at the end. スタッフ :D
Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy (OAV) Excellent
Dirty Pair: From Lovely Angels with Love (OAV) Very good
Dirty Pair: Project Eden (movie) Good
(The) Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (movie) Masterpiece
Disgaea (TV) Decent I hear it has absolutely nothing to do with any video games, even though you might think otherwise.
Divergence Eve (TV) Very good
DNA Sights 999.9 (movie) Weak
DNA² (TV) Very good
DNA² (OAV) Very good
Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (OAV) Very good
Dojin Work (TV) Good
Doki Doki School Hours (TV) Not really good
Dokkoida?! (TV) Decent
Domain of Murder (OAV) Good
Dominion Tank Police (OAV) Good
Doorbell (movie) So-so
Dorami-chan: Mini-Dora SOS (movie) Not really good
Dororo (live-action movie) Very good
Dr. Slump: Arale no Bikkuri Bān (movie) So-so
Dragon Century (OAV) Good
Dragon Crisis! (TV) Decent
Dragon Half (OAV) Very good
Dragon's Heaven (OAV) Good
Dream Eater Merry (TV) Good
Drop (movie) Weak
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure (TV) Good
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventures Special Good
Early Reins (OAV) Not really good
Eden of the East (TV) Good
Eden's Bowy (TV) Good
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Masterpiece The summaries for this show read like the bilge that permeates the anime world. Even so, it stands in a place far above its counterparts. It's uniquely stylized art and animation add a great deal of emotion, perfectly in keeping with its content; without making it feel overdone. (Saikano anyone?) I felt that certain parts stretched my will to suspend disbelief, especially since I don't really go for this kind of story, but I give ratings based on quality. I have, therefore, grudgingly graced its greatness with a generous rating.
Eien no Aseria (OAV) So-so This show starts out being "not really good" and gets better over time. It quits just when it looks like it might be going somewhere.
Eight Clouds Rising (OAV) Not really good
El Cazador de la Bruja (TV) Decent
El Hazard: The Alternative World (TV) Decent
El-Hazard 2: The Magnificent World (OAV) Decent
El-Hazard: The Magnificent World (OAV) Decent
El-Hazard: The Wanderers (TV) So-so
Elemental Gelade (TV) So-so
Elementalors (OAV) So-so
Elf 17 (OAV) Good
Elf Princess Rane (OAV) Very good
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece (sub & raw)
Elfen Lied (OAV) Excellent
Ellcia (OAV) Bad
Emma: A Victorian Romance (TV) Very good My only complaint with this show is that it has certain (relatively minor) inaccuracies that really annoy me. In particular, there are things that look a great deal more like Japan than England toward the end of the first season and in parts of the second season.
Emma: A Victorian Romance Second Act (TV) Very good
Ergo Proxy (TV) Good
Eternal Family (TV) Decent
Eureka Seven (TV) So-so
Eureka Seven - good night, sleep tight, young lovers (movie) Not really good
Everyday is Sunday (OAV) Good
Excel Saga (TV) Awful
Explorer Woman Ray (OAV) Awful If you like Indiana Jones... you probably won't like this.
Fairy Princess Minky Momo: La ronde in my dream (OAV) Decent
(The) Familiar of Zero (TV) Very good
(The) Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Twin Moons (TV) Very good
(The) Familiar of Zero: Rondo of Princesses (TV) Good While I admit to liking this series, I must also admit that what started out as a lightweight (but still promising) fantasy series has devolved into something fairly insubstantial.
(The) Fantastic Adventures of Unico (movie) Good
Fantastic Children (TV) Very good
Fighting Fairy Girl Rescue Me Mave-chan (OAV) Bad
Figure 17 (TV) Very good
Final Approach (TV) Not really good
Final Examination Kujira (ONA) Weak
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (US CG movie) Good
Fire Tripper (OAV) Decent
Fireball (TV) Good
Fireball Charming (TV) Decent
First Squad - The Moment Of Truth (OAV) Good
Five Numbers! (OAV) Good
(The) Five Star Stories (movie) Excellent
Flag (ONA) Decent
FLCL (OAV) Excellent
Fractale (TV) Decent Yay! Another one of this exact same show! (Actually, this one is a little better than X'amd. A little. Partly because it is shorter.)
Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor (movie) Decent
Freedom (OAV) Good
Freezing (TV) Decent
Fruits Basket (TV 1/2001) Decent
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) Excellent
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (OAV) Excellent
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) Excellent
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Decent
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) Very good
Fullmetal Alchemist: Chibi Party (OAV) So-so
Fullmetal Alchemist: Kids (OAV) So-so
Fullmetal Alchemist: Seven Homunculi VS State Alchemists (OAV) Not really good
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa Decent
Futakoi Alternative (TV) So-so
Futatsu no Kurumi (special) Decent
G-9 (OAV) So-so
Ga-Ra-Ku-Ta: Mr. Stain on Junk Alley (TV) Excellent
Ga-Rei-Zero (TV) Good I love the cheap excuse for reusing half an episode of animation.
GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class (TV) Not really good
Gakuen Alice (TV) Very good
Gakuen Tokusō Hikaruon (OAV) Decent This show is a must watch for fans of old cheesy crap anime. The music in particular is reminiscent of the things Gekiganger 3 makes fun of (minus the giant robots). The funny thing is, this show actually has some pretty good bits that balance out the awful animation (the animation is actually good in some places), poor quality music, and cheesy story elements.
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! (TV) Very good
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! (OAV) Good
Gala (movie) Decent
Galaxy Angel (TV) Excellent
Galaxy Angel A (TV) Excellent
Galaxy Angel S (special) Excellent
Galaxy Angel X (TV) Excellent
Galaxy Angel Z (TV) Excellent
Galaxy Fraulein Yuna (OAV) Decent
Galaxy Fraulein Yuna Returns (OAV) Decent
Gall Force - Eternal Story (movie) Good This anime screams '80's like no other. Even if I had read the subtitles without being able to watch the actual show I would still say so.
Gall Force 2 - Destruction (OAV) Decent
Gall Force 3 - Stardust War (OAV) Decent These movies kind of annoy me because there are so many more interesting things they could have done with the universe they created. Still, they deserve some recognition for not being depressing. The space battles are pretty impressive too (and more ambitious than newer shows, which is sad considering the animators did so much more with so much less).
Gall Force: The Revolution (OAV) So-so
Garaga (movie) Decent
(The) Garden of Sinners (movie series) Good At first I wasn't all that thrilled with the sister who likes her brother "that way" story. After seeing the whole thing I have reconsidered. I like the idea that the relationship is doomed, but not because she is his sister. It has absolutely nothing to do with who she is, and everything to do with who she isn't.
Gargoyle of Yoshinaga House (TV) Excellent
Gate Keepers (TV) So-so
Gate Keepers 21 (OAV) Excellent
Gegege no Kitarō: Nippon Bakuretsu!! (movie) Not really good
Gekigangar 3 (OAV) Not really good
Generator Gawl (TV) Good
Geneshaft (TV) Excellent I would have to say that this is by far the most misunderstood anime I have ever encountered. (That's saying quite a bit, considering the things I'm comparing it to.) I came back to Geneshaft years after my first viewing and watched it again, thinking I would be lowering its rating after a second viewing. I stand by my rating of excellent. If anything, it was better than I remembered.
Genesis Surviver Gaiarth (OAV) Good
Genius Party (movie) So-so
Genocyber (OAV) Decent One of the more deliberately disgusting things I have seen. Not nearly as bad as Apocalypse Zero, though.
Geobreeders (OAV) Good
Geobreeders: Breakthrough (OAV) Good
Gestalt (OAV) Very good
Getsumen to Heiki Mina (TV) Good
Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up (TV) Not really good
Ghost Hound (TV) Good
Ghost Hunt (TV) Very good
Ghost in the Shell (movie) Masterpiece
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (movie) Masterpiece
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (TV) Very good
Ghost Slayers Ayashi (TV) Good
Ghost Sweeper Mikami (TV) Decent
Ghost Talker's Daydream (OAV) Good
Gin-iro no Olynssis (TV) Weak
Gintama (OAV) Very good
Girl from Phantasia (OAV) Decent
(The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie) Very good
Girl's High (TV) Very good
Girls Bravo (TV) Good
God Mars: Untold Legend (OAV) Weak This show is actually pretty good up to the point where it starts being a mecha anime. Then it just sucks.
Goku II - Midnight Eye (OAV) Decent
Goku: Midnight Eye (OAV) Good
Gokudo (TV) Very good
(The) Gokusen (TV) Very good
Golgo 13: Assignment Kowloon (live-action movie) Good
Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun (TV) Decent This ones different from the usual harem/sudden girlfriend crap. Sadly, I can't say that it's any better.
Good Morning Althea (OAV) Decent
Good Morning Call (OAV) Not really good
Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! (OAV) Very good
GoShogun: The Time Étranger (OAV) Decent
Gosick (TV) Very good
Graduation (OAV) Good light-hearted, generally uplifting. The characters and their problems are (relatively) realistic.
Grandeek - Gaiden (OAV) Not really good
Green Legend Ran (OAV) So-so
Grenadier (TV) So-so
Grey: Digital Target (movie) Decent This follows the comic so closely that you might as well read that instead. I think it takes less time to read the comic too, which is kinda sad when you consider that it continues past the end of the movie story.
Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl (TV) Excellent
Growlanser IV (OAV) Not really good
Grrl Power (OAV) Good When I last checked, sellers were asking for 71¢ for a new copy of this show. I have a feeling it might have been selling better than that if it hadn't been given a terrible English title. I completely agree with the idea of dropping the Japanese title, but the name they changed it to is no more meaningful and quite a bit more painful.
Guardian Ninja Mamoru (TV) Decent
Gude Crest - The Emblem of Gude (movie) Not really good A magnificently unspectacular fantasy story.
Guitar o Motta Shōnen - Kikaider vs. Inazuman (OAV) Decent
Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon (movie) Decent
Gunslinger Girl (TV) Masterpiece One of the first animes I watched. I have seen very little of comparable quality since.
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino (TV) Excellent Kind of a disappointing sequel, especially after all this time. It's still a really good show though.
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino (OAV) Good
Gunsmith Cats (OAV) Good
GUNxSWORD (TV) Good
H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) Good
.hack//SIGN (TV) Very good I would probably think this was the best Bee Train anime ever if the ending lived up to the rest of the show.
Haganai (TV) Excellent
Haibane Renmei (TV) Very good
Haiyoru! Nyaruani (ONA) Good
Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft (TV) Decent
Hametsu No Mars (OAV) Weak
Hanada Shōnen-shi (TV) Excellent I don't like to comment on openings and endings, but this one won't let me stay quiet. The five seconds or so of (combined) OP/ED music I heard made me want to shoot my screen. Otherwise I have absolutely no complaints with this show. Of course, I should point out that the humor in this show is more like my impression of Japanese humor prior to experiencing anime: potty humor abounds.
Hanamaru Kindergarten (TV) Good
Hanappe Bazooka (OAV) So-so
Hanaukyo Maid Team: La Verite (TV) Not really good
Hanaukyo Maid-tai (TV) Not really good
Hand Maid Mai (OAV) Not really good
Hand Maid May (TV) Bad
Hanoka (TV) Decent For those who are willing to give it a chance, this show is surprisingly good. Of course, it doesn't take all that much to be surprising after a first impression that turns off almost everyone.
Happiness! (TV) Decent
Happy Machine (movie) Good
Harbor Light Story - Fashion Lala yori (OAV) Weak
Haré+Guu (TV) Excellent
Haré+Guu Deluxe (OAV) Excellent
Haru no Ashioto The Movie: Ourin Dakkan (OAV) So-so
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Ajisai Yumegatari (OAV) Weak
Hataraki Man (TV) Good This is well made, but I have trouble getting excited about a show that is about spending your entire life working too hard.
Hatenkō Yūgi (TV) Decent
Hatsukoi Limited (TV) Very good
He Is My Master (TV) Good
Heaven's Lost Property (TV) Decent Yet another anime that would be very good if it was half as long via removal of the perverted bits. I was skirting the line between watching and giving up for a while (the first three episodes, I think). While it does get better, unfortunately the remainder of the series is still sprinkled with the stuff that makes the first part of the show crap. The protagonist would be much easier for viewers to identify with if the series didn't waste so much time on "ehehehengh, the main character is a dirty peeping, panty-loving pervert" humor. Setting aside the fact that such humor gets pretty tiresome pretty fast, all the disrespectful pervert humor is horribly inconsistent with the caring, respectful character the rest of the show is trying to build up. It's one of the things that has me thinking, "It's no wonder nobody buys your DVDs. If I saw this on TV I wouldn't feel like paying for it either. It is, at best, a watch once show.
Heaven's Lost Property: Project Pink (OAV) Not really good
Hell Girl (TV) Excellent
Hell Girl: Two Mirrors (TV) Excellent
Hellsing (TV) Excellent
Here Is Greenwood (OAV) Decent
Hidamari Sketch (TV) Very good
Hidamari Sketch (special) Excellent
Hidamari Sketch × 365 (TV) Excellent This has humor that would be difficult to translate. While I wouldn't have dreamed of watching it without subtitles, I can say with absolute certainty that watching it without the original Japanese audio would have taken a lot away from the experience.
Hidamari Sketch × 365 (special) Very good
Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu (TV) Very good
Higan (OAV) Decent
High School of the Dead (TV) Good
Higurashi no Naku Koroni Gaiden Nekogoroshi-hen (OAV) Excellent
Himawari Too!! (TV) So-so
Himawari! (TV) Decent Some of the voices are annoying. Especially Himeji's. Also, the thing-that's-supposed-to-be-a-dog inspires thoughts of brutal canidoid murder.
Hime-sama Goyojin (TV) Very good I have to respect a show that will make a joke out of people misunderstanding Shakespeare, especially when the Japanese version makes it absolutely clear what is being said, in modern language. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of viewers who laughed at that joke could be counted on one hand.
Hipira: The Little Vampire (TV) Good
Hitohira (TV) Masterpiece

Inukami! (TV) Decent
Inukami! (movie) Decent
Iria - Zeiram the Animation (OAV) Good
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu (OAV) Good Watch this instead of Saikano. There are some conceptual similarities, and Saikano will subject you to five agonizing hours of undiluted suckage.
(The) Irresponsible Captain Tylor (TV) Excellent (dub), Masterpiece (sub) Probably not the best anime ever, but certainly one of my all time favorites.
Is This a Zombie? (TV) Very good
Isshoni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako (OAV) Weak
Isshoni Training: Training with Hinako (OAV) So-so Parts of this are actually pretty funny, but for the most part it is exactly what it looks like. Well... Come to think of it, the funny parts are too. In fact, that's where the humor comes from. Oh, well.
Jack and the Beanstalk (movie) Good
JAPAN, Our Homeland (movie) Good

Jubei-Chan 2: The Counterattack of Siberia Yagyu (TV) Good
Jubei-Chan The Ninja Girl - Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch (TV) Good
Juden Chan (TV) Good This would actually be a pretty good show without the pee. I'll admit it is still better than almost all the other crap coming out, but frankly, the fact that other shows suck does not make this one better.

Kamichu! (TV) Excellent
Kamisama Dolls (TV) Very good
Kamisama Kazoku (TV) Not really good
Kämpfer (TV) Good Yeah... If I hadn't already seen Kampfer, that "is it about a guy or a girl?" advertising would be keeping me away. This show benefits a great deal from not settling into a single genre role. Of course, varying the theme of the show a little is not enough to make it anything spectacular. Or worth spending money on, for that matter...
Kämpfer für die Liebe (special) Good
Kanamemo (TV) Good
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens (TV) Very good
Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox (TV) Very good This was a very pleasing watch after the travesty that Rosario to Vampire turned out to be.
Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox (OAV) Good
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Decent I'm of the opinion that Kanon 2006 is by far the best anime of its kind. Of course, that doesn't really mean that it's good... After watching Kanon, I think I'm beginning to understand this whole "sad girls in snow" thing I keep hearing about, though not the part that involves liking it. I will probably always maintain casual indifference. I should probably also mention that, while this show does qualify as a comedy/supernatural drama, it has little comedy and the supernatural elements are lame. Not that anyone who likes this sort of thing will care.
Kappa no Kaikata (TV) Good This gets better as it goes along.
Karas (OAV) So-so

Kirameki Project (OAV) Very good
Kirara (OAV) Good This is the first thing I watched completely in Japanese (since learning some). I'm not entirely sure why this system notes that I've seen three versions (dub & sub & raw) of Princess Mononoke, but not that my rating for Kirara is for the original Japanese.
Kiss×sis (TV) Decent

Let's Nupu-Nupu (TV) Decent
Letter Bee: Light and Blue Night Fantasy (special) Good
Level E (TV) Very good
Library War (TV) Masterpiece There are very few series I can watch all in one sitting, even at the best of times. When I am very busy, I have a hard time sitting through more than one episode before feeling like I should be doing something more like work. Even though it was my third viewing, I sat through all of this show (in one sitting) during a brief lull between incredibly busy times in the hardest semester I have had so far.
Licca-chan no Nichiyōbi (OAV) Decent

Massugu ni Ikō (TV) So-so
Mayo Chiki! (TV) Good
Maze (TV) Good I like Maze. This show is perfectly representative of a bygone era, in which fanservice was simply part of anime, not what defined them. Of course, I still find myself thinking that it could have been better if it was more focused on better things...

(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Masterpiece
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV 2009 renewal) Very good certainly fills in some gaps. I would have given this version a better rating, but it has several episodes that should be skipped. (I wish I had known that before watching.)

Mezzo (TV) Very good
Mezzo Forte (OAV) Good
Miami Guns (TV) Very good
Michiko & Hatchin (TV) Good Apparently there are people comparing this show to Cowboy Bebop. I don't think it bears more resemblance to that show than it does to others. In fact, I might find more similarities to Speed Grapher if I sat and thought about it. There also seem to be people who hate the ending. I don't. I suspect the ending is the only part in which I would find no fault if I sat down and listed all the things that are wrong with this show... and speaking of what's wrong, the art and animation are both worlds better in Cowboy Bebop than they are in this show.
Midori Days (TV) Excellent
Millennium Actress (movie) Good
Minami-ke (TV) Excellent
Minami-ke: Betsubara (OAV) Very good
Minami-ke: Okaeri (TV) Very good This series isn't as funny as the others most of the time, but there are a few segments (the last one in episode ten, for example) that are as funny as anything in the first series.
Minami-ke: Okawari (TV) Excellent
Minky Momo in The Bridge for Your Tomorrow (OAV) Good
Minky Momo in The Station of Your Memories (OAV) Decent
Mirai Nikki (OAV) Weak
Misaki Chronicles (TV) Excellent
Mission-E (TV) Excellent I have to admit this show isn't quite what I was expecting, mostly because I wasn't expecting it to jump forward so many years. I can't say that I really had expectations regarding this, but it isn't as funny as Code-E either.
Mitsudomoe (TV) Excellent

Nakoruru (OAV) So-so It's a pity this didn't become a 13 episode show. It could have been much better.
Nana Toshi Monogatari (OAV) So-so
Nanaka 6/17 (TV) Not really good
Nanatsuiro Drops (TV) Not really good I have a suspicion I'm laughing at all the wrong parts of this. I found myself shouting "IT'S A SPOON!" even before the first magical transformation completed (and proved I was correct). On that note, this is the sort of show that has me shouting things at my screen. Unfortunately that doesn't say anything good about its story. The ending, in particular, was appallingly predictable.
Natsu no Arashi! (TV) Very good

On Your Mark (movie) Decent
Once Upon a Time (movie) Good The movie I saw was Windaria. I once heard that Once Upon a Time is one of those animes that is the product of some very selective editing. The kind that involves running the original through a shredder a few times, sweeping up some of the pieces off the floor, and placing them in whatever order is convenient at the time.
One Pound Gospel (OAV) Good
Ontama! (ONA) Good

Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling for Me! (TV) Very good
Otogi-Jushi Akazukin (OAV) Good
Our Home's Fox Deity (TV) Decent
Ouran High School Host Club (TV) Excellent When this came out, I took one look at a promo picture and decided I wasn't going anywhere near it. After reading a review, I decided it would be worth a look. It was nice to see a reverse harem anime that not only doesn't suck, but is actually really good. Saiunkoku is the closest thing I had seen before this, and frankly, that's pretty sad. I am just looking for something good to watch. As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the one look test that this show failed used to be a 100% accurate crapometer. I don't hate reverse harem anime because it's reverse harem. I hate it because it sucks. The stuff ranges from the bland (like Harukanaru) to the vomitous. Saiunkoku managed to look like it would prove me wrong, but (all too quickly) descended well past bland, into the realm of the absolutely repugnant. It pretty much killed my desire to even give this stuff a chance, but maybe I'll look at things a little more closely now that I've seen Ouran High School Host Club.
Outlanders (OAV) Good
Outlaw Star (TV) Decent
Ozanari Dungeon: Kaze no Tou (OAV) Excellent
Pale Cocoon (OAV) So-so
Pandora Hearts (TV) Good I got a certain feeling from this show, right from the start. Fearing that I was wrong, I went searching for random reviews. Some of them said it really sucked, but others confirmed my suspicion: Pandora Hearts is a show that gives every appearance of being something that sucks, but in actuality doesn't suck. I didn't have many complaints about it while watching, but there were some. It takes too long (nearly half the show) to really mature (i.e. shed things that smell of suckage). Otherwise, there isn't much I would think worth mentioning to someone thinking about watching it, except to rephrase what I said earlier. This show looks like it is the same as all the other crap coming out, but really isn't.

Pet Shop of Horrors (TV) So-so Kinda different from most anime, but the similar shows I have seen (Vampire Princess Miyu, Jigoku Shoujo, Ayakashi/Mononoke, Requiem from the Darkness) are all much better.

Polyphonica (TV) Very good

Queen Millennia Movie So-so Though not through any particular forethought, Queen Millennia ended up being the 1000th title added to this list.
Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin (TV) Decent After watching, I have to say there are two very shocking things about this. First, it didn't suck. After I finally came to terms with that realization, I started to think that the fact that Queen's Blade, of all things, is better than nine tenths of what's coming out does not speak well of recent anime. An increase in overall volume can lead to an increase in the volume of quality works coming out. It can also lead to nothing more than an increase in the number of titles. I would prefer the former.
Quiz Magic Academy (OAV) Decent This show is borderline decent/good. It's kind of sad that this 30 minute show looks like it had a bigger budget than all of Prism Mark.

RIN - Daughters of Mnemosyne (TV) So-so This show kind of pisses me off. Some parts are phenomenally good, others are spectacularly stupid. Even the casting has that kind of weirdness to it. Kugimiya Rie was well cast in her role, but Noto Mamiko was a spectacularly inappropriate choice for hers (which is not to say that she did a bad job of it). Yamaguchi Mayumi or Kobayashi Sanae would have been a much better choice, assuming that one wanted a deep voice (instead of a popular one). I can only assume Noto Mamiko was supposed to give her character a gentle, motherly voice, but that doesn't come close to working in a grotesquely violent show like this. addt'l: I notice someone added "ero-guro" as a theme for this anime. I can only think that all the good ratings come from people who are rating it for how much they like that sort of thing (maybe it inherited some of Ninja Scroll's fans). As a story this thing is a boatload of "fail."
Ringing Bell (movie) Decent
Rizelmine (TV) Decent
Robot Carnival (OAV) Good
Romeo × Juliet (TV) Decent
Roots Search (OAV) Worst ever Quite possibly the worst anime I have ever seen. I used to think the Legend of Lemnear was bad.
Rosario + Vampire (TV) Not really good I've heard the manga is passably good, but I haven't had time to check it out.
Rosario + Vampire Capu2 (TV) So-so Parts of episodes seven and eight are actually pretty funny. I guess they screwed up.
Roujin Z (movie) Excellent
Rozen Maiden (TV) Masterpiece
Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre (special) Masterpiece
Rozen Maiden: Träumend (TV) Masterpiece
Ruin Explorers - Fam & Ihrie (OAV) Good This show is amazing in that it is a sword and sorcery story with long chanted spells that somehow manages to avoid being really cheesy or dragging into an excessively long/boring series.
Rune Soldier (TV) Very good
Rurouni Kenshin (TV 1996) Not really good
Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture Bad
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal (OAV) Very good
Ryoko's Case File (TV) Very good This would be better if the the French maids weren't annoying and obviously not French.
Saber Marionette J (TV) Very good
Saber Marionette J Again (OAV) Very good
Saber Marionette R (OAV) Very good
(The) Sacred Blacksmith (TV) Good
Sailor Victory (OAV) Good
Saint Tail (TV) Decent
Sakura Diaries (OAV) Decent
Salaryman Kintaro (TV) Very good
(The) Samurai (OAV) Excellent
Samurai Champloo (TV) Excellent
Samurai Girls (TV) Decent
Samurai: Hunt for the Sword (OAV) So-so For the 666th addition to my "seen all" list, this show is pretty tame.
Sasameki Koto (TV) Very good
Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) Good
School Days (ONA) Decent While I was aware of its existence, I had absolutely no intention of watching this before I saw the series. It turns out the ONA is surprisingly less awful than expected. In fact, it's quite watchable.
School Days (TV) Masterpiece This is, quite possibly, the most messed up thing I have ever seen. It might be roughly on par with Elfen Lied, though disturbing for very different reasons, but it is certainly more so than Narutaru, Bokurano, Perfect Blue, or any of Nagai Go's works I have seen. Angel Sanctuary may be an exception to all of this, but I have fairly little memory of it at this time. . . due to amnesia. . . caused by mental scarring. . . probably.
School Days: Magical Heart Kokoro-chan (OAV) Masterpiece I was thinking this might be a little (tiny bit) less twisted than Puni Puni Poemi, but I was wrong.
School Rumble (TV) Masterpiece
School Rumble Sangakki (OAV) Very good
School Rumble: 2nd Semester (TV) Excellent
School Rumble: Extra Class (OAV) Masterpiece
Sci-Fi Harry (TV) Excellent
Scramble Wars (OAV) Good
Scrapped Princess (TV) Very good It's sad, but I'll probably never be able to watch this again without thinking "Hey! She sounds like Matsuoka Miu!"
Sea Prince and the Fire Child (movie) Very good
(The) Secret World of Arrietty (movie) Excellent
Seitokai Yakuindomo (TV) Very good
Seitokai Yakuindomo (OAV) Very good
Sekai Meisaku Dōwa: Hakuchō no Ōji (movie) Decent
Sekirei (TV) Very good
(The) Sensualist (OAV) Weak
Serial Experiments Lain (TV) Excellent
Seto no Hanayome (OAV) Not really good The humor in Seto no Hanayome was always kind of hit-and-miss. In the OVA it is mostly miss.
Shadow Skill (TV) Excellent It used to bother me that they never made another Shadow Skill TV series. Given that they keep making (awful) movies that flop I doubt there ever will be one, and frankly, that doesn't really bother me anymore. In part, I suspect this is because any new show would probably suck and I would rather not have them spoil things with an awful sequel.
Shadow Star Narutaru (TV) Very good
Shakugan no Shana (TV) Good
Shakugan no Shana (movie) Good
Shakugan no Shana S (OAV) Very good
Shakugan no Shana Second (TV) Very good
Shakugan no Shana SP: Koi to Onsen no Kōgai Gakushū! (OAV) Excellent This show has a definite message for all the dainty little ladies out there. If the guy you like doesn't somehow read your mind and do exactly what you want... HIT HIM WITH A ROCK!!!!
Shakugan no Shana-tan (OAV) Good
Shakugan no Shana-tan Returns (OAV) Good
Shamanic Princess (OAV) Awful
Shanghai Dragon (movie) Very good
Shattered Angels (TV) Decent I have no idea how much of this was meant to be comedy, but it can be pretty funny. At one point I was seriously thinking "OMG, that long package those guys are carrying will turn out to be their combat alpenhorn!"
She and Her Cat (OAV) Good
She, The Ultimate Weapon (TV) Worst ever I enjoy a nice, mellow drama now and then.
Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed (TV) Masterpiece
Shiki (TV) Bad
Shin Koihime Musō (TV) Good
Shin Koihime Musō: Otome Tairan (TV) Decent
Shinesman (OAV) Good
Shinshaku Sengoku Eiyū Densetsu - Sanada Jū Yūshi The Animation (special) Not really good
Shion no Oh (TV) Very good
Shoka (special) So-so
Shrine of the Morning Mist (TV) So-so
Shuffle! (TV) Weak
Silent Möbius: The Motion Picture So-so
Simoun (TV) Not really good For every thing this show does spectacularly well, there is something about it that is astonishingly stupid. The end result is somewhat less than perfectly coherent.
Sin in the Rain (OAV) Good
Sisters of Wellber (TV) Not really good I was later thinking that I might have literally died laughing if they'd had any horse-drawn helicopters.
Sketchbook ~full color'S~ (TV) Very good
Skip Beat! (TV) Very good Given the culture this show concerns itself with, I suppose it's natural for the ending song to be extra awful.
(The) Skull Man (TV) Decent
Skullman: Prologue of Darkness (live-action Special) Decent
Sky Blue (Korean movie) Bad
(The) Sky Crawlers (movie) Good
Sky Girls (OAV) Decent
Sky Girls (TV) Decent
(The) Slayers (TV) Good
Slayers - The Motion Picture Very good
(The) Slayers Evolution-R (TV) Good
Slayers Excellent (OAV) Very good
Slayers Gorgeous (movie) Very good
Slayers Great (movie) Excellent
(The) Slayers Next (TV) Good
Slayers Premium (movie) Awful This movie is bad. The other slayers stuff is cheesy, but it's supposed to be. This movie is just bad. I very much recommend NOT watching it.
Slayers Return (movie) Excellent
(The) Slayers Revolution (TV) Good
(The) Slayers Try (TV) Very good
Slayers: The Book of Spells (OAV) Excellent
Slow Step (OAV) Excellent Gimme a D! Gimme an I! Gimme a P-P-Y! Since it's an old anime romance, I was expecting a lot of cheese (and nothing else). Fortunately this show proved me wrong.
Sol Bianca (OAV) Decent
Sol Bianca: The Legacy (OAV) Decent This one is a fairly big improvement over the previous version, but it still isn't exactly amazing.
Sola (TV) Good
Solty Rei (TV) So-so
Someday's Dreamers (TV) Good
Someday's Dreamers II Sora (TV) So-so While I think there are a lot of things that could have been much better with this series, I applaud its creators for giving it a good ending. Most similar shows end with spectacular melodrama.
Sonic Soldier Borgman: Last Battle (movie) Decent
Sonic Soldier Borgman: Lover's Rain (movie) So-so
Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o - Anata to Koibito Tsunagi (OAV) So-so
Sora no Manimani (TV) Decent

Spirited Away (movie) Very good
Spriggan (movie) Decent
Sprite: Between Two Worlds (OAV) Good
Steamboy (movie) Very good
Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) Decent
Steel Angel Kurumi Encore (OAV) Not really good
Steel Angel Kurumi Zero (OAV) Awful
Steins;Gate (TV) Masterpiece
Stink Bomb (movie) Very good
Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry (TV) Excellent It's thanks to this show that I know which branch of the military Forte Stollen was in before joining the Galaxy Angels, and that Suiseiseki and Souseiseki are not dolls, but part of a race of chobit... erm... aliens that share consciousness.
Strait Jacket (OAV) Decent
Strange Dawn (TV) Not really good is a huge disappointment. It had the potential to be very interesting, but by its end I was thinking "You haven't resolved anything! That was just a bunch of stuff that happened!"
Strange Love (OAV) Decent
Strawberry Eggs (TV) Not really good
Strawberry Marshmallow (TV) Excellent
Strawberry Marshmallow (OAV) Masterpiece

Take the X Train (OAV) Not really good
Tales from Earthsea (movie) Good
Tales of Phantasia (OAV) Very good
Talking Head (hybrid movie) Excellent
Tamayura (OAV) Good I watched this right after Megane na Kanojo. The two are similar in certain ways, but this show is more enjoyable.
Tanoshii Moomin Ikka: Moomin Tani no Suisei (movie) Very good
Tansuwarashi (movie) Excellent
Taro the Dragon Boy (movie) Not really good
(The) Tatami Galaxy (TV) Good
Tatsuya Miyanishi Theatre: Heart and Yummie (TV) Decent
Tattoon Master (OAV) Not really good
Tayutama - Kiss on My Deity (TV) So-so Shows like this piss me off. Some shows have the decency to just suck outright. Others pretend they might be worth watching and I quit them after realizing I've been wasting my time on a few episodes. This show is an example of the rare show that starts out just a little better than the second group, and waits until I have too much time invested to want to abandon it before dropping to a lower quality. There is no part of the show where the quality is good enough to justify watching the whole thing, but of course, I can't really know that before watching it. GIVE ME BACK FIVE HOURS OF MY LIFE!!!!
Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee (TV) Decent
Tegami Bachi: Reverse (TV) Decent
Teki wa Kaizoku: Neko no Kyōen (OAV) So-so
Tekkonkinkreet (movie) Not really good

Tenshi na Konamaiki (TV) Very good
Tentai Senshi Sunred (TV) Good So, is there going to be a spinoff series called Sentai Tenshi Kayoko?
Texhnolyze (TV) Weak

Tokyo Babylon (OAV) Good
Tokyo Babylon 2 (OAV) Good
Tokyo Godfathers (movie) Excellent
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (TV) Good Well, this is about as good as you could expect a disaster story to be.
Tokyo Majin (TV) Very good
Tokyo Marble Chocolate (OAV) Very good
(The) Tokyo Project (OAV) Good
Tokyo Revelation (OAV) Decent
Tokyo Underground (TV) Bad
Tona-Gura! (TV) Not really good
Top Secret ~The Revelation~ (TV) Good This show has certain melodramatic additions (usually of the "he/she looooves her/him" variety). It gives no more than a few seconds to each of them (fortunately), but the fact that they are there at all is just poor construction. There is one scene with Aoki and Amachi on a bench at an amusement park that is pretty funny though.
Toradora! (TV) Excellent
Tori no Uta (OAV) Not really good
Toward the Terra (movie) Decent
Toward the Terra (TV) Excellent
Trava (OAV) Very good
A Tree of Palme (movie) Not really good
Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever (OAV) Weak One of the more amusingly awful things I've run across.
Trigun (TV) Excellent
Trigun: Badlands Rumble (movie) Excellent
Trinity Blood (TV) Decent
Trouble Chocolate (TV) Good I don't see what everyone has against this series. Admittedly, it doesn't have a real ending but unfinished shows are nothing new in the anime world. How popular is Berserk? For those who are interested in getting the OST/music/soundtrack (I know you're out there), I saw three related albums on amazon.co.jp when I last looked. You'll probably need to search for トラブルチョコレート specifically.
True Tears (TV) Very good
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE the Movie: The Princess in the Birdcage Kingdom Decent
Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations (OAV) Decent
Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (TV) Decent
Tsuyokiss - Cool×Sweet (TV) Weak This show is actually pretty decent for the first few episodes, apart from completely pointless interruptions. Well, ok. They do have a point. Sex sells. Anyway, the show degrades further and further into nonsense after it gets going on the love story thing. I would recommend Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu over this filth any day of the week. It tastes like electricity, you know.
Twilight Q (OAV) Good
Twin Signal (OAV) Good

We Without Wings - Under the Innocent Sky (TV) Decent
(The) Weathering Continent (movie) Very good An unusually good fantasy show that makes very good use of its time.
Weiß Survive (TV) Decent
Weiß Survive R (TV) Decent
Welcome to the NHK (TV) Masterpiece
Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW (movie) Excellent
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Masterpiece
When They Cry - Kai (TV) Masterpiece Although this show is an excellent example of the kind of show it is, it is a different kind of show from the previous season. I think the same crowd that likes the first season could just as easly like the second, but it would have to be for different reasons.
When They Cry - Rei (OAV) Excellent
Whisper of the Heart (movie) Decent
Wild Arms - Twilight Venom (TV) Very good
Wild Cardz (OAV) Not really good
A Wind Named Amnesia (movie) Decent

(The) World God Only Knows (TV) Very good
(The) World God Only Knows Season Two (TV) Excellent
(The) World of Narue (TV) Weak
Wrath of the Ninja - The Yotoden Movie Decent
Xam'd: Lost Memories (ONA) Decent At first, I thought to expect great things from this series. At last, I found myself thinking "well, at least it was better than Eureka 7."
Xenosaga: The Animation (TV) So-so This anime explains pretty much everything that NEEDS to be explained, but in ways that feel very weird, roundabout, or incomplete. The explanation is there, but it feels like it isn't. The story feels almost deliberately disjointed.
xxxHOLiC (TV) Good
xxxHOLiC the Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream Decent
xxxHOLiC: Kei (TV) Decent
xxxHOLiC: Shunmuki (OAV) Good
Yagami-kun's Family Affairs (OAV) Decent
Yamibo - Darkness, the Hat, and the Travelers of the Books (TV) Decent Certainly one of the weirder things I have seen. I tried to watch it before I had fully acclimated to the anime world and couldn't get into it because I was rather uncomfortable with certain things in the first episode. (If you don't know what yuri is, you should probably stay away from this.) Had I kept watching I would probably have finished it at that time, as those things disappear for most of the series.
Yatterman (movie 2009) Bad
Yosuga no Sora - In solitude where we are least alone (TV) Decent
Yotsunoha (OAV) Decent
You're Being Summoned, Azazel (TV) Good
You're Under Arrest: The Motion Picture Good
Yozakura Quartet (TV) Decent It's one thing for the good guys to lose and quite another for them to get their behinds handed to them because they're being colossally stupid. The quality of the show is decent though, even if I find parts of it annoying.
Yumedamaya Kidan (special) Decent
Yuri Seijin Naoko-san (OAV) Good
Yurumates (OAV) Good
Yuruyuri - Happy Go Lily (TV) Good
Yutori-chan (ONA) Good
