Seen some Rating Comment
Blue Seed (TV) Decent
Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years (U.S. TV) Good
Cosmo Warrior Zero Gaiden (TV)
Cyborg 009 (TV/1968) Decent Vintage anime and one of the very first pure anime series (meaning no english dubs.) i have seen. the characters are so out of date by today's standards, and the recent series is ok but nothing spectacular.
Dark Warrior (OAV) Bad Dumb Sci-fi OVA, with rushed animation and a silly storyline..a bunch of big guys beating the sh*t out of each other..how "original."
Devilman Lady (TV) Good Interesting take on the female version of Devilman, but the godzillaesque fight scenes are a bit redundant. They shouldv'e cut this back to only 2 DVD volumes.
Dirty Pair Flash 1 (OAV) Decent
Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy (OAV) So-so
Doomed Megalopolis (OAV) Not really good I vaguely remember this series, but it's a so-so supernatural title that just didn't catch my full attention, BTW the villian looks too familiar to those who have played the Street Fighter games. "PSYCHO-CRUSHER"!
Dragon Ball Z (TV) Good seminal series gained tons of popularity and notoriety within the Anime community. it's a fun watch but most of Akira toryama's character designs look either deformed or stereotypically rediculous.
Escaflowne: The Movie Good
Fist of the North Star (TV) Decent Hoto no Ken, a decent tv series which like Dragon Ball Z, gained a huge cult following. the protagonist Kenshiro looks like a hybrid of Stallone and Bruce Lee. The original japanese intro had a catchy tune, then Manga ent. changed it into some lame ass disco-techno theme. It's stuff like this that may encourage some ppl to buy bootlegs. (SIGH!)
(The) Five Star Stories (movie) Decent
Galaxy Express 999 (TV) Good
Gasaraki (TV) Not really good I love mecha anime, from gundam to getter robo but Sunrise i guess was aiming to go for something a bit different from the standard and as a result we have a tom clancy-like psychic thriller with realistic bi pedal mechas. despite it's premise the series doesn't really gel mainly to to lackluster pacing. and not enough intensity to keep me glued. However i did skip towards the ending. (0:<
Gatchaman Fighter (TV) Decent
Genesis Climber Mospeada (TV) Good
Gigantor (TV 1963) So-so
Gun Frontier (TV) Good Matasumoto proves that you can enjoy a anime seies even if it's a freakin western. and i hate westerns! The interactions between leji's flagship characters harlock and techiro is what makes this "western" an exceptional one, not to mention the risque scenarios.
Gungrave (TV) Decent I love the videogame this anime is based on, but unfortunetly the series didn't live up to my expectations.(it's like beserk, a prequel leading up to the "good stuff".) nonetheless a good crime drama and a cool ending theme.
Gunparade March (TV) Good My answer to the disapointing Blue Gender. and with a better theme.
Heat Guy J (TV) Very good It's Robocop meets terminator meets the godfather meets cowboy bebop. but still has enough originality of it's own that being said.
Infinite Ryvius (TV) Weak Anime's take on Lord of the Flies. very disapointing.
Landlock (OAV) Decent
Last Exile (TV) Excellent This epic-like fantasy series reminds me of stuff like nausica. but is a visual treat to behold, the music kicks ass as well.
(The) Legend of the Dog Warriors: The Hakkenden (OAV) Decent
MAPS (OAV 1994) Decent Boy meets Alien girl. It's a decent viewing.
Martian Successor Nadesico (TV) Weak
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (OAV) Excellent
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) Good
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) Very good
Night Warriors - Darkstalkers' Revenge (OAV) Very good Capcom's Street Fighter meets the groovy ghoulies. (an old cartoon from the funky 70's) The plot although moderate,is Much better than the crappy american version of Darkstalkers. and both animated versions contain the lame Troubleman ending theme.
Outlaw Star (TV) Good
Panzer Dragoon (OAV) Not really good Sega's classic videogame series becomes a disapointing anime,that must have been rushed to please the fans. poor computer graphics and bad animation does not make a good game based anime.
Perfect Blue (movie) Good
Project A-ko: Uncivil Wars (OAV) Decent
RahXephon (TV) Not really good
Record of Lodoss War (OAV) Good
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (TV)
Silent Möbius (TV) Good Cyberpunk meets the supernatural, an refreshing concept in a medium that's cluttered with mecha and martial arts. English voiceovers are lame, but that doesn't stop this from being a good series.
Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage (movie) Very good
Space Pirate Captain Herlock The Endless Odyssey (OAV) So far from what i am seeing, it's looking good. Cap is back and this time he's taking on evil spirits known as Noo.
Speed Racer (TV) So-so Next to Gigantor and Kimba the white lion, i think this was one of the very first Anime series to debut stateside. and boy can those voice actors;(Peter Fernandez) talk fast. Another Tatsunoko classic which paved the way for the brilliant Gatchaman.
Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) Weak
Street Fighter (U.S. TV) So-so Somewhat predictable series based on Capcom's venerable videogame, almost like slash anime in regards to the pairing of protagonists Ryu and Ken. like it's videogame turned anime counterparts; Beserk and Gungrave it's another prequel. hey Capcom, where the f**k is my Resident evil anime??!?
(The) Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross (TV) Decent
Tekkaman Blade II (OAV) Good
Ten Tokyo Warriors (OAV) Decent
Trigun (TV) Good Nice futuristc western anime series, sometimes funny sometimes a bit serious. Intro kicks ass.
Very Private Lesson (OAV)
Virtua Fighter (TV) Bad Poor SEGA, when it comes to marketing their characters via anime or live action movies (panzer dragoon and house of the dead anyone?) they can never get it right, and VF is more of that testimony.Stoic Akira has turned into a silly bumbling A-hole and the plot leads to nothing special. Oh well at least sonic was ok. BTW where's the Shinobi anime?
Virus Buster Serge (TV) Decent Somewhat close to the Dark horse comic series. (Everyday machines/vehicles emerge as beasts and cause chaos)and directed by Masami Obari (Toshinden & Detonator Orgun)The first volume is good, but i have yet to see the rest of this TV Series.
X (TV) Good
Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (TV) Good Often quoted as a "DBZ wannabee" Yu Yu is more of a supernatural fight series. Funimation's dubbing is lacking. I highly recommend the Poltergeist report movie.
Zenki (TV) Decent
Zone of the Enders (TV) Not really good Konami just like SEGA has failed to have an successful anime based on their characters. ZOE Deloris is just plain silly and the dubbing made it worse. thank god for the anime network b/c if i shelled out $30 for this crap i would've sued ADV on the count of bad anime desicions. Of all Konami's franchise why not produce a anime based on metal gear,contra or even castlevania??

Amon - Apocalypse of Devilman (OAV) Good The conclusion to the previous Devilman ovas 10 years ago. but this time it gets more darker when Devilman faces a mob of paranoid humans with shocking results. (let's just say that if you are familiar with the series' characters only one will be left standing.) and not to mention his "evil" other half. another Go nagai classic.
Angel Cop (OAV) Very good Guilty pleasue at it's finest. Angel and the J.A.F. not only take on the fanatical terrorist of the red may army but the story takes an unusual turn of events when psychic vigilanties dish out their brand of justice. the storyline is somewhat contraversial (it's laden with anti-american and anti-semetic sentiment.) but aside from that it's a thrilling bulletfest in the tradition of John Woo.
Area 88 (OAV) Good Good series but ending was open ended.
BAOH (OAV) Good Most otakus hated this "guyver wannabee" but i thought it was entertaining, an experimental teenager is being persued by a ruthless arms dealing organization only to retaliate using his newfound abilities. very violent one shot OVA,with another open ending. (love the shooting bees phenomenom.)
Bastard!! (OAV) Good From shienshua the guys responsible for such "gems" as angel cop and baoh, now comes Bastard, and the title fits the protagonist of this anime. Dark Schinder, a wizard who has returned to cause havoc on his enemies both demons and humans.needless to say that this series doesn't take itself too seriously as there is an abundance of risque comedic elements included. HIGHLY rECCOMENDED!
Battle Angel (OAV) Very good
Battle Arena Toshinden (OAV) Decent Obari's adaptation of the long forgotten videogame series. not as good as his previous stuff; Detonator Orgun,Fatal Fury but easily surpasses Gowcaiser. (which ain't saying much)
Battle Royal High School (OAV) Good Cool fighter ova that looks like it was based on some japanese videogame..as a matter of fact, the main character was probably the inspiration behind Tekken's King. (tiger masked man) the ending theme Medusa is worth the purchase alone.
Battle Royale (live-action movie) Excellent A groundbreaking movie that shouldv'e won some sorta oscar IMO.It plays like lord of the fireflies with a hint of escape from new york and a few other sci-fi movie chiches. Beat takeshi's portrayal of the sadistic controller is awesome, not to mention the supporting cast of kiddies added so much to this film. this movie deserves a wider distribution in the US and abroad, for it's underlying social commentary and great storypacing. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!
Battle Royale II: Requiem (live-action movie) Not really good A lackluster sequel to a great japanese classic. the opening scene howeveris somewhat shocking especially since it's post 9/11. The beachhead battle lifted a bit off spielberg's saving private ryan..and the ending was far fetched. gotta admit i loved the cameo appearance of takeshi. (which help to explain the "phone call" sequence with his daughter.) nice piano tunes.
Berserk (TV 1997) Good to quote the intro theme.."tell me why,tell me why.." tell me why did this series take place before the events of the dreamcast game? i wouldv'e loved to have seen Gatsu'S beserker rage and not to mention that cool wrist cannon he's packing. the ending was a bit too much, and very sadistic..but you can't have everything..or can ya?
BioHunter (OAV) Decent
Black Lion (OAV) Decent Go nagai, love or hate his work, he's still regarded as one of anime's influentual artist/creators. (father of mecha) black lion is way more of a fantasy than an actual fuedian swordplay anime. think ninja scroll meets terminator. it's nothing spectacular but it's a good timekiller.
Black Magic M-66 (OAV) Good this short paved the way for shriow's ghost in the shell. an anime with a simular plot to the terminator movie, and an instant classic.also reccommended; appleseed
Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (OAV) So-so
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) Good
Blue Submarine No.6 (OAV) Very good
Bounty Dog (OAV) Not really good Futuristic convuluted sci-fi anime looks as if the film cels were dipped in urine. (GAG!)
Burn Up Excess (TV) Decent
Burn Up W (OAV) Good A perfect blend of comedy with bullet riddled action scenes. Ya just gotta love the classic gun-packing,saucer-eyed chick with an attitude.
Burn Up! (OAV) Good
Casshan: Robot Hunter Casshern (OAV) Very good Tatsunoko has rehashed yet another one of their classic characters following in the footsteps of gatchaman comes casshan. the concept is simular to that of the magnus robot fighter comic, but just as good. kick ass intro theme too. the world is overrun by black king and his army of robots, who can stop them? "if casshan can't do it, who will"? Look for the upcoming live action movie based on casshan (cassern?!?)
City Hunter: Secret Service (special) Decent
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Excellent Great futuristic series about bounty hunters, cool Jazz-like opening theme song, good jeet-kwon-do fight scenes and the ending might be a shocker or tear jerker. :0x
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Good
Crimson Wolf (OAV) Weak silly ova about three resurected teens who oppose a silly computer..and ah wtf..why bother to make sense of a senseless anime? and the english dub added more fuel to this pile of burning excrement.
Crying Freeman (OAV) Good
Crying Freeman (live-action movie) Good
Cyber City Oedo 808 (OAV) Good Another futuristic sci-fi anime were three convicts are chosen to perform certain objectives in order to recieve thier pardons. sorta like John Carpenter's Escape from New York.
Cybernetics Guardian (OAV) Good And yet another furturistic sci-fi anime (no kidding!) This time a young man is transformed into some super-beast while taking on corrupt officials. a decent effort from Koichi Ohata (Genocyber,M.D. Geist) but with less gore than usual.
Dangaioh (OAV) Very good "CROSS FIGHT"! AIC's classic mechafest of the 90's was a great 3 part run, the ending was a bit of a disapointment.
Demon City Shinjuku (OAV) Good
Detonator Orgun (OAV) Very good An instant classic in the tradition of Tekkaman and Captain Marvel (marvel comics early 70's version that is.) Great plot device that unfolds in sucedding epidsodes.
Devil Hunter Yohko (OAV) Very good
Devilman (OAV) Very good Go nagai's classic series from the 70's is revamped, and pretty much violent. avoid the english dub at all costs!! curse you manga entertainment, you went the way of Miramax when it comes to importing asian gems like this one. can't wait to see the live action movie. "devilman,devilman..calling." (lyrics from rob zombie's song supercharger heaven)
Dog Soldier: Shadows of the Past (OAV) Bad Interesting plot regarding the rescue of a scientist who has discovered a vaccine for the AIDS virus. but it all falls into a convuluted story as hiba, the rambo wannabee faces his nemises who was once his best friend. CPM mustv'e paid $6 just to lisence this crap.
Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato (movie) Excellent GREAT MOVIE,SAD ENDING. IT TRULY WAS A FAREWELL.
Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf (special) Decent
Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture Good
Fight! Iczer-One (OAV) Good
Final Yamato (movie)
Fist of the North Star (movie) Decent next to akira, this was the only other popular anime movie during the 80's. silly english dub as usual.
Fist of the North Star (live-action movie) Not really good I f you can suspend your disbelief for a second you might just actually enjoy this lackluster adaptation of the manga/anime. the lead protagonist looks like (bob denver) giligan and shin came off a bit gay (what's with the hair flinging taunt?) the actress who played love intrest julia was miscast mainly due to bad engrish. and talk about miscast..downtown julia brown???!!?? "wubba,wubba wuuubaaaaa"!
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Good Good Mecha based comedy with dramatic elements.Lame intro theme but at least the dubbing is decent. Recommended!!
Gall Force - Eternal Story (movie) Not really good
Gall Force 3 - Stardust War (OAV) So-so
Gall Force: Earth Chapter (OAV) Decent
Gall Force: New Era (OAV) Decent
Gatchaman (TV) One of the pioneer Anime series that gained massive popularity in Japan,that another sequel was spawned as well as an American version under the title Battle of the planets. which to say in the least is far different from the japanese original. Gatchaman is one of the best Anime series EVER!
Gatchaman (OAV) Excellent The best Gatchaman ever!! this 3 parter crammed as much of the old revamped stories as possible. the new designs,animation and revamped score(not to mention an awesome ending theme) still proves that tatsunoko is one of the best anime companies out there. "let's fly"!!
Gatchaman II (TV)
Gekijōban Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost (live-action movie)
Generator Gawl (TV) Very good reminds me of terminator and the guyver but with comedic elements. cute ending theme left me wondering what does tomato juice with lemons taste like? time for a V8!!
Genocyber (OAV) Good Koichi ohata's horrific series may seem a bit familiar to those who have seen movies by cronenberg and clive barker. Nice gory bits here and there.somber BGM with a silly ending theme (fairy dreaming)
Getter Robo: Armageddon (OAV) Good Another Go nagai classic redone for the viewing public. Fun to watch, and good english dub as well.
Ghost in the Shell (movie) Good
Giant Robo (OAV) Very good
Golgo 13: Queen Bee (OAV) Good
Golgo 13: The Professional (movie) Good Carl Mecek did a great job in regards to handling this movie, the dub is very good and the story, although a bit muddled at times, was different from your typical revenge crime thriller. Fans of the classic nintendo games will love this one. this movie is Not to be confused with luc besson's turd; Leon the Professional. Golgo 13 wouldv'e made a much better choice for a live action flick. and speaking of Macek....
Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter (OAV) Not really good
Guardian of Darkness (OAV) Good
Gunbuster (OAV) Good I haven't seen this one in a while. But i know it's a classic mecha title,with a good storyline.
Gundress (movie) Decent Most people/otakus hated this movie but for what it was, i was entertained regardless of the choppy-rushed animation and lawnmower man final confrontation. Sometimes ya gotta suspend your disbelief. Shrow(Ghost in the shell,Appleseed and Black Magic M-66) was responsible for the character designs and mecha.
Gunsmith Cats (OAV) Very good
(The) Guyver (live-action movie) Good The first american anime based live action movie, but also a silly one at times. (citing Jimmy "JJ" Walker's role as one of the zoanoids.."Dyno-mite".) good wire fu fight scenes and the costume is simular to the Anime/Manga.
(The) Guyver 2 (live-action movie) Not really good ...this movie in particular, Dark hero wasin all intese purposes was made solely for the fans as steve wang once quoted, but the slow pacing,chessy acting and $15 budget shot this flick dead on arrival. what's funny is that the protagonist (david hayter) is responsible for the 2 stories based on the XMEN movies.
(The) Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor (OAV) Very good This Guy(ver) is what refueled my interest in anime. A superheroesque sci-fi thriller that spawned two live action movies and both was pretty well disapointing which leads me to..
Guyver: Out of Control (movie) Decent good retelling of origin. but animation is kiddified! mustv'e been a pilot for the OVA.
Hades Project Zeorymer (OAV) So-so
Harlock Saga (OAV) Very good
Harmagedon (movie) So-so
Hellsing (TV) Excellent Great series, kinda reminds me of blade. nice funky music too.
Iczelion (OAV) So-so
Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade (movie) Good Anime's take on Little red riding hood. great animation sequences, although a somewhat complicated plot device.
Kishin Corps (OAV) Good
Kite (OAV) Good Heh,heh this Anime is cool if your'e into the John Woo movies, but the statutory rape scene, was a bit offensive.
Legend of Lemnear (OAV) Decent
Lily C.A.T. (OAV) So-so
M.D. Geist (OAV) Decent
M.D. Geist II - Death Force (OAV) Not really good
Macross Plus Movie Edition Decent
Mad Bull 34 (OAV) Worst ever LAME!LAME!LAME Police drama about some obnoxious NYC Cop (No kidding!!) named smiley and his "green" partner who takes on a some woman who offs people/city officials while wearing an experimental armor that looks as if it came from the predator movie. The "confrontation" between smiley and the aforementioned serial killer is rediculous, to say the least..
Mask of Zeguy (OAV) So-so
Mazinkaiser vs. Great General of Darkness (OAV) Good
Megazone 23 (OAV) Decent
Mighty Orbots (U.S. TV) Good
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (OAV) Good
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (OAV) Good
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Special Edition (movie) Good
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie) Very good
New Cutey Honey (OAV) Very good
New Getter Robo (OAV)
New Hurricane Polymar (OAV) Very good It's a submarine, it's a jetplane it's....another revamped series under tatsunoko's few titles. Hurricane polymar,is a fun 2 part ova with the right blend of action and comedic elements. kick ass fight scenes in the tradition of batman. too bad there were only 2 epidsodes! ksou!!
Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective (TV) Good Anime's take on the Forever Knight TV series. cool if your'e into Vampires.
Ninja Scroll (movie) Masterpiece
Noir (TV) Good
Odin - Starlight Mutiny (movie) Weak
Orguss 02 (OAV) Good
Patlabor WXIII (movie 3) So-so
Patlabor: The Movie (movie 1) Weak
Power Dolls (OAV) Decent
Project A-ko (movie) Good
Project ARMS (TV) Decent
Psychic Force (OAV) So-so
Psycho Diver: Soul Siren (OAV) Good
Queen Emeraldas (OAV) Good
Raven Tengu Kabuto (OAV) Good
Rhea Gall Force (OAV) Good
Robot Carnival (OAV) So-so
Robotech (U.S. TV) Very good ..Carl took 3 unrelated Tatsunoko series, then tied them into one exciting Anime for American broadcast, with great sortylines/plot devices,voiceovers,dramatic elements/romance accompanied by a cool soundtrack. (better than the original japanese BGM) Robotech was a man's cartoon, meaning no silly kidified storylines and dialogue, and a interesting social commentary on the horrors of war. A trend setter back in it's era.
Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection (OAV) Good
Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture Good
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal (OAV) Good
S-CRY-ed (TV) Very good It's a grownup version of DBZ meets the X-men. good series with a decent english dub.
Saiyuki (TV) Very good Like DBZ, Saiyuki is another take on Journey to the West. It's a fun series to watch, although it can drag at times. I prefer watching this in english. (suprised?) cool punkesque ending theme courtesy of Charcoal Filter. (Tightrope)
Shadow Skill 2 (OAV) So-so
Shadow Skill 3 (OAV) So-so
Shuten Doji (OAV) Good
Silent Möbius: The Motion Picture Very good
Sin: The Movie Decent This is the first time i have seen an african-american as the protagonist in an anime. also possibly the first anime based on an videogame based in the U.S. of A. good OVA with plenty of action, the dub is somewhat lacking (as usual.)
Sol Bianca (OAV) Classic Sci-fi Ova. These chicks were bad-asses and very appealing on the eyes. (especially may and feb.) the other volumes however wasn't as good.
Sonic Soldier Borgman: Last Battle (movie) So-so
Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (OAV) Good
(The) SoulTaker (TV) Excellent Excellent series despite it's complexed plot, It's a blend of superhero action,italian horror noir, religous references and a bit of Mignola (The artist/creator of Hellboy.) It's among my top ten and hence the nickname. (0;
Space Adventure Cobra - The Movie Decent
Space Battleship Yamato (movie) Very good
Spirit Warrior (OAV) Very good
Spirit Warrior (OAV 2) Very good
Spriggan (movie) Good
Star Blazers (TV) Very good
Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars (TV) Very good
Star Blazers: The Comet Empire (TV) Very good Before Robotech made it's way in the U.S. this was the first anime brought to America to employ great dialogue and storyarcs and not to mention pathos, which made you feel for the characters. the series was somewhat violent and even included a semi-nude scene. how the aforemention material evaded the censors is still beyond me.
Street Fighter Alpha (OAV) Decent
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Decent
Suikoden Demon Century (OAV) Decent
Sukeban Deka (OAV) Decent I kinda like this one, it's like the old Fox series, 21 jump street, but this young lady takes no prisoners. fun to watch but not meant to be taken seriously. protagonist is armed with a yo-yo that looks like jun's (Gatchaman).
(The) Super Dimension Fortress Macross (TV) Excellent
(The) Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (movie) Good
Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie (OAV) Decent
Tekkaman Blade (TV) Decent
Tekken: The Motion Picture (OAV) Not really good
They Were 11 (movie) Decent
Thunderbirds 2086 (TV)
Transformers (U.S. TV) Good From the makers of G.I.Joe, Hasbro/Sunbow/Marvel's classic series gathered a huge cult following, robots in disguise with superhero like powers (invisibility,super speed,force fields and so forth) the first 2 seasons are classics, the rest just went downhill, and armada is no better.
(The) Transformers: The Movie (U.S. movie) Very good One of my favorites the storyline is more "adult oriented" and the death of a major character was a great example of us based anime. they even manage to sneak in a bit of profanity. great movie backed by a funky hair metal soundtrack. "TRANSFORM"!
Twilight of the Dark Master (OAV) Good Good stuff if your into wicked city like anime. Almost like urotsukidoji but without the hentai or naughty tentacles.lol
Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend (OAV) So-so
Vampire Hunter D (OAV) Very good
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (movie) Very good
Vampire Princess Miyu (OAV) Decent
Vampire Wars (OAV) Good
Venus Wars (movie) Good
Violence Jack (OAV) Not really good 3 v's; Violent,Vengence and Vagina!! Go nagai's brutal post apocolyptic series failed to live up to my expectations, with the gratutious rape scenes..kinda like a Mad max with a bit of Hentai.
Violence Jack 2 (OAV) Weak
Violence Jack 3 (OAV) Weak
Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer (OAV) So-so
Voltron (U.S. TV) Weak "And the Sandy Frank award of 1984 goes to.." King arts for Voltron defender of the universe, a watered down Japanese mecha super sentai anime series.
Wicked City (movie) Very good
Wrath of the Ninja - The Yotoden Movie Good
X OAV Very good
Yamato 2520 (OAV) Decent
Yu Yu Hakusho The Movie: Poltergeist Report (movie 2/1994) Good
Zone of the Enders: Idolo (OAV) Good

Will not finish Rating Comment
Ambassador Magma (OAV) So-so What happens when you have a long haired golden shape shifting robot taking on stupid looking villians? (Goh) It's Ambasaador Magma to the "rescue". Not for nuttin, i loved the opening theme. too bad it wasn't put to much use, say a better series? Why US renditions picked this turd at the time is beyond my comprehension.
Boogiepop Phantom (TV) So-so Too, slow too weird, too bad.
Dai-Guard (TV) Weak Two words; Borrrrrr iiiiiinnnggg. nice openeing theme song.
Dancougar - Super Beast Machine God (TV) Weak
Dominion Tank Police (OAV) Not really good I just couldn't get into this one, maybe it's due to the bad dubbing.
Eagle Riders (TV) Awful Damn you Hiam Saban for butchering one of Tatsunoko's greatest franchise. The Sandy Frank of the 90'S is what you are..HACK! Stick to the heathcliff cartoons and leave the Japanese stuff to more qualified companies I.E. urban vision or ADV.
L/R: Licensed by Royalty (TV) Bad Not funny nor intriging. and not to mention a corny intro by billy "let's go round in circles" preston.
Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers (TV) Weak
Ninja Scroll (TV) Bad Poor Korean art followed by poor storyline and redundant rock music. Is this what we NS WAITED SO LONG FOR??!!!??
Those Who Hunt Elves (TV) Weak
