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 the characters are so out of date by today's standards, and the recent series is ok but nothing spectacular.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??
