Seen some Rating Comment
Ah My Buddha (TV)
Ai Yori Aoshi (TV) Decent (+) Strong beginning, adequate animation, cute female lead, strong male lead, somewhat entertaining, strong seiyuu

(-) Becomes a wholly unrealistic harem, the romance seems "too easy"; too "perfect"; not really interesting, a formulaic "Aoi x Kaoru" moment at the end almost every single episode where nearly the same thing occurs

[Have seen Ep 1-15]
Air Gear (TV) Very good (+)Extremely attractive girls, pretty visuals, show picks up fast after around Ep 6 and becomes something entertaining and worthwhile, music is amazing and really helps the "feel" of the show, ED animation is stunning

(-)Series completely sucks until Ep 6, ending was a cop-out

[Have seen ALL]

Dojin Work (TV)
Dragon Ball GT (TV) Weak (+) OP is somewhat catchy, continues the adventures of the characters of the in/famous Dragonball Z, finally puts an end to the milked out Dragonball franchise

[Have seen Ep 1-2]
Kämpfer (TV) Excellent
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Excellent (+)Animation is beautiful, authenticity of the original game is for the most part preserved, thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable storyline, seiyuu work is good, great technical aspects paired with a wonderful story makes for a very immersive world to be entrenched into.

(-)A feel of "animating a game" at times (unsmooth transitions, a few awkward dialogue scenes, etc.), seiyuu casting, although quite good, is, in my opinion, slightly inferior to the original in terms of fitting the characters' personalities
Karin (TV) Not really good (+) Plot is somewhat original

(-) All of the bleeding is just disgusting sometimes, the vibes sent out by Karin's family remind me of old American cartoons that I despised, the main character is wholly uninteresting

Kaze no Stigma (TV)
Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o - Yōkoso Tsugumi Ryōhe (TV)
Kujibiki Unbalance (OAV) Not really good (+) Genshiken characters like it, it's fun to say "Kujibiki Anbaransu", entertaining if you ignore the cliches, OP is extremely catchy, mushrooms, soundtrack is cute

Lemon Angel Project (TV)
Living for the Day After Tomorrow (TV) Excellent (+) Peaceful and relaxing world which makes you wish you were in it, refreshing animation, great music that really fits the atmosphere, strong and interesting characters, great execution of an otherwise cliche plot element, latter few episodes gives off a slight sense of urgency as to wanting to know what happens next

(-) A good majority of the series could be considered boring, cliche plot element

Sumomomo Momomo - Chijō Saikyō no Yome (TV) Excellent
Tenshi na Konamaiki (TV) Good (+) Comedical, "guy turns into girl" is done pretty well, voice acting was pretty good (Hayashibara Megumi as...Megumi!), entertaining with all the crazy gimmicks that are so stupid they're funny, characters are generally pretty entertaining to watch as they carry on with their silly antics

(-) Atrocious, and I mean ATROCIOUS animation (you DON'T draw characters in manga style in anime!), latter half of the series goes to hell with all this wannabe serious-plot stuff, some characters get on your nerves sometimes

Utawarerumono (TV) Excellent (+) Wonderful and immersive fantasy world, plot moves at a lightning pace, good animation and music, Hakuoro is a fitting lead character/ (-) Slightly predictable, not entirely original (not too far off from a typical RPG plotline; a really GOOD RPG plotline, but still...)
