Seen all Rating Comment
Air (TV) Very good What an odd show. I had to read a lot about it to fully understand it, but now that it I do it's really quite a nice show. Very confusing, but very touching.
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka (TV) Excellent Great ending, and a great show overall.
Allison & Lillia (TV) Good It was alright. Terrible writing throughout, but it was fun to watch. Felt like an old fashioned show, and the entire show reflected that. Ending was terrible, but I still enjoyed it.
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Very good Very funny. Exactly like Lucky Star, except without all the anime/video game references. Not quite as good, but had some great moments. Also had the problem of overusing some characters (Tomo, Sakaki in the beginning) while not using others enough (Osaka, Chiyo-chan). Still a really fun show.
Bus Gamer (TV) So-so Could have been good if it was more than 3 episodes. Or had an ending.
Chaos;HEAd (TV) Good A really convoluted show, but I enjoyed it. Slow to start, but I really enjoyed the ending. I may not have understood it all, but I could follow it.
Clannad (TV) Masterpiece The most amazing anime ever. Beautiful art, great charctacters, and a touching story which never disappointed. This is the epitome of a great anime. A must-watch for all.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV) Masterpiece This show is awesome.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (TV) Decent Wow, what a show. It started off great but slowly became more and more convoluted, absurd, and flat out ridiculous. New things were introduced every episode with most making little to no sense. Trainwreck describes this show pretty well; a big letdown after the first season. Everything is fabulous.
D.C. ~Da Capo~ (TV) Good It was alright. Characters were great, but the plot overall was mediocre. Good conclusion though. Oh and the side stories were just awful.
D.C.S.S. ~Da Capo Second Season~ (TV) Very good Although it had a bit too much filler, it still was a good show. Slightly better than the first season in plot and definitely in humor, and it brought back all the great characters with some new good ones as well (and it didn't have the terrible side stories!).
Death Note (TV) Masterpiece Wow, what a fantastic show. The suspense and psychology used was excellent to watch. The ending was superb, as was the entire show.
ef: a tale of melodies (TV) Very good Started off great, but the ending left me wanting more. Middle had some absolutely fantastic sequences, but at the end I felt like "That's it..." Though the animation was great, they used too many gimmick I think. While some is cool, too much becomes annoying.
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Masterpiece No show has ever brought out the emotions this show brought out in me. An absolute masterpiece which should be viewed by all.
Eureka Seven (TV) Excellent A very slow start, but a phenomenal ending and one of the best love stories in animation.
Fate/stay night (TV) Excellent Outside of a lame last episode, this show was definitely great. The music was exceptionally good.
Final Approach (TV) Excellent Fantastic show. Shows how you can do a lot in a short amount of time. The mix of comedy and drama played great and it was a blast to watch.
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Very good Cool series but very overrated.
Gurren Lagann (TV) Excellent Had Nia not died, this would have been a masterpiece. Otherwise awesome, awesome show.
H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) Excellent Slow start, awesome ending. Really loved the final scene, as well as the use of the poem "Footprints."
.hack//SIGN (TV) Decent Would have worked better as a story rather than an anime. Very Interesting when you fully understand it nonetheless.
ItaKiss (TV) Excellent The best shojo romantic comedy out there. Loved it.
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Excellent What a fantastic show. I absolutely loved this, the way everything comes together and all is finally well. This is a must see.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Next Season~ (OAV) Excellent Alternate ending to the great show, and this was great as well. Seeing it from different points of view really brought out everything the show had to offer, as well as all the emotion. Loved it.
Kurenai (TV) Masterpiece Really spectacular show. Fantastic writing and characters, it didn't need to rely on action or moeness to be great. But it did those well too.
Kyōran Kazoku Nikki (TV) Very good Very fun show to watch, though the last episode was meh.
Lamune (TV) Excellent What an amazing show. Slow moving, yet heartfelt and moving throughout. The ending, while having been done before in other similar renai shows, still was beautiful and touching. Highly reccommended.
Lovely Complex (TV) Decent Good ending, but overall the show was pretty bad. Would have been better if Risa did something other than cry and bitch ALL the time.
Lucky Star (TV) Excellent Awesome show. So many anime and video game references that I had to look up more than half of them. Even better when you get all of them.
Lucky Star OVA Excellent More of the great show.
Macross Frontier (TV) Excellent Awesome show with awesome singing.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (TV) Excellent Great show. Slow first half, but was more than made up for in the second half.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (TV) Excellent Awesome, even a little better than the first season. Great ending.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS (TV) So-so Some episodes were great. Most were mediocre at best. And some were just boring. Not even close to the greatness of the first two seasons. This story could/should have been told in 13 episodes. Might have been better with a lot more Caro.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Masterpiece Ridiculously awesome in every sense, and not just for everything it spawned. Haruhi is one of my favorite characters from anime. The way they ordered the episodes for characterization was also pretty neat by the end.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (TV) Excellent Awesome show, but half the cast was killed off at the end going into next season. Hopefully better second season than geass at least :| . Also, I want to be gundam!
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed (TV) Excellent Excellent series which gets better as it goes on (though nothing tops episode 30).
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed C.E.73: Stargazer (ONA) Very good This movie is really cool. I never watched all three in a row, but still was cool as kind of episodes. The STARGAZER was really awesome too.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (TV) Not really good Started off good, but was really a letdown by the end. Two clip shows in the final ten episodes is ridiculous. But the last episodes was ridiculously awesome, which makes up for it.
My Bride is a Mermaid (TV) Very good This show is so ridiculous but so hilarious. Nonstop insanity with crazy characters, all of whom are fantastic. The last episode rules soooo hard.
My-HiME (TV) Excellent AWesome show, which gets better and better as it goes on. Epic.
Myself; Yourself (TV) So-so So much potential, all wasted on terrible writing/direction.
Natsuiro no Sunadokei (OAV) Excellent Another great renai show. Really spectacular all around, even though its only two episodes.
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) Excellent Wow. This definitely lives up to all of its reputation. Despite so much left unanswered, I still really liked the ending, even though most don't.
Pani Poni Dash! (TV) Good I think if I got all the jokes this show made I would have found it to be much funnier. That being said, it was still the most random show ever with some amazing characters. It was funny, but not the funniest show "of the year."
Rental Magica (TV) Decent A terrible show, but it knew it was terrible, and tried to be terrible, I think at least.
Romeo × Juliet (TV) Excellent A great show, capped off with a fantastic (yet bizarre) ending. A bit slow in the beginning/middle, but makes up for it in the end.
Rumbling Hearts (TV) Masterpiece Amazing show, which was as depressing at times as it was heartwarming in the end. One of the best.
Rurouni Kenshin (TV 1996) Good Never saw the filler ending, but the first two arcs were good.
Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) Excellent The greatest comedy anime. First half was absolute gold. Second half was not as strong, b ut still great.
Seto no Hanayome (OAV) Excellent Epic chivalry
Shakugan no Shana (TV) Very good Cool show, though very similar to F/SN. Not as good, but a fun watch. Shana rules. Will be watching season 2.
Shakugan no Shana Second (TV) Very good The first half was god awful. The second half was at times pretty awesome, with a great finish, even better than the first season.
Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed (TV) Very good What a weird show. Pretty good I guess.
(The) Slayers Revolution (TV) Good slayers
Spice and Wolf (TV) Very good Great charcters and interactions among them, despite an alright plot and a lame ending.
_Summer (OAV) Excellent Its a shame this is only two episodes, because I absolutely loved it. Needs to be a full series.
Tales of Symphonia the Animation (OAV) Excellent Even better than I expected. This turned out very cool. Can't wait for next 4 episodes.
To Heart (TV) Decent I know this show is old, but it moves waaaay too slow. It takes forever for anything to happen, and most of the stuff that happens isn't all that interesting. Decent ending though. Would probably be lower if not for Multi, who fucking saved this show.
Transformers: Armada (TV) Good Transformers are cool.
True Tears (TV) Excellent Beautiful, beautiful show which kept me dying to know what would happen next. The pacing was smooth and the drama was intense, but it was beautiful to watch. The right girl won in the end, which left me very satisfied with the conclusion.
Vampire Knight (TV) So-so Too much angst and too many emo vampires. I will still probably be forced to watch the second season though :| .
Vampire Knight Guilty (TV) Good Much better than the first season. Slow to start, but once it got past the pure angst and into actual plot and background and story, turned out not bad. And it ended with Yuki picking the right guy.
Yotsunoha (OAV) Decent It felt rushed, or at least forced, and the girl with the most annoying voice ever won. It wasn't terrible, but nothing great.
Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) Very good Not as good as the first season, but still very funny, and has episode seven which is pure win.
