Seen/Read All (public list)▲▼ | Rating▲▼ |
Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya (TV) | Excellent (dub), Masterpiece (sub) |
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (TV) | Excellent (dub), Masterpiece (sub) |
Serial Experiments Lain (TV) | Very good (dub), Excellent (sub) If you require action or fan service, then stay away. Heavy on drama and character development. "Serial Experiments Lain: Loving the Wired and the Weird"|Matthew Roe |
Shadows House (TV) | Excellent (dub & sub) ↕
Would have rated the dub at 9/11 (Very Good) but synchronizing the flaps to English for the insert song was brilliantly done. ED song Also, the ED itself is exceptionally animated. ↔ |
Shakugan no Shana (TV) | Very good (dub), Excellent (sub) Shakugan no Shana has a little bit to offer to everyone. The plot lines and character development are handled competently enough, and there is more than enough action to satisfy those who want it. Of special interest, in my opinion, is the soundtrack. On the CD "Assorted Shana Vol. #3", the tenth track "La Vie Recomence" is simply to die for. The composer, Ko Otani, (A.K.A. Kou Ootani) once again -- in my opinion -- shows just how good he is. The "Shakugan no Shana Original Sound Track" is also worth checking out. |
Shakugan no Shana (movie) | So-so A recap of the first six episodes. |
Shakugan no Shana III (Final) (TV) | Good J.C. Staff must accept all of the blame for not adequately tying all three series together. Go to: |
Shakugan no Shana S (OAV) | Good |
Shakugan no Shana Second (TV) | Good (dub), Very good (sub) |
Shakugan no Shana SP: Koi to Onsen no Kōgai Gakushū! (OAV) | Good |
Shangri-La (TV) | Decent (dub & sub) |
She and Her Cat (OAV) | Masterpiece |
She and Her Cat -Everything Flows- (TV) | Masterpiece These four shorts total less than 30 minutes -- just take the time to see if you enjoy them! |
She, The Ultimate Weapon (TV) | Masterpiece (dub & sub) My initial inclination was to rate it at 10/11; however, I'm rating it as 11/11 because of the OST. Also, see SaiKano: Another Love Song (OAV). |
Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed (TV) | Masterpiece ↓ Nice ED Ep.#6 really got to me. ↑ |
