Ajin (TV) Very good
(The) Animatrix (OAV) Very good
Attack on Titan (TV) Masterpiece
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Masterpiece
Baccano! (TV) Masterpiece I LOVE this show. Like LOOOOOVE <3 The art, characters, plot, I'm sure the music was good but I never pay attention. This is honestly one of the best made anime series around. It is so addicting and so interesting! I wish that it went on forever but I kinda also enjoyed the openness at the end.
Berserk (TV 1997) Masterpiece
(The) Big O (TV)
Black Butler (TV) Masterpiece
Black Butler II (TV) Excellent
Black Cat (TV) Excellent
Black Rock Shooter (OAV)
Boku wa Imōto ni Koi o Suru: Secret Sweethearts - Kono Koi wa Himitsu (OAV) Decent
Buso Renkin (TV) Good
(Le) Chevalier D'Eon (TV) Good A nice pretty anime at times, sometimes the quality was leaving something to be desired. It had a decent plot with a sad ending but I couldn't help feeling that it was just lacking. It had a tendency to be slow and while having some decent hooks it also lost them soon after.
Chinese Ghost Story (Chinese movie) Decent
Claymore (TV) Excellent
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Masterpiece
Darker than Black (TV) Excellent This left me such a wonderful lasting impression. I simply adore this show <3
Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor (TV) Good I loved the first season and the second was decent... but honestly I was pretty disappointed. The changes in the characters just made me think about season 1. Oh well, it was ok to think of as alternate ending instead of a continuation in my humble opinion.
Deadman Wonderland (TV) Very good
Death Parade (TV) Good
Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (OAV) Good This was the first OAV I've ever seen. Sorta scratching the surface but it was interesting and fun to watch. The fight scenes were cool enough as well.
Durarara!! (TV) Excellent
Durarara!!×2 Shō (TV) Decent
Elfen Lied (TV) Excellent Very strange. It took me a while to get into this. The first couple of episodes left me wondering what all the fuss was about. As it kept going the story line got more intense and I could understand the intense relationships. It was really quite good even with all the 'omg boobs!' crap everywhere. The story was really fantastic and very thought invoking. I was surprised at how short and final it was even with the extra ep thrown in. A very worthwhile watch.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie)
Fruits Basket (TV 1/2001) Excellent
Full Moon o Sagashite (TV) Very good
Gantz (TV) Excellent
Ghost Hound (TV) Excellent Why is this anime over?! I love love looooved it. GH really does a fantastic job of making a slow paced series FLY by. I sat down to watch an episode and I feel as if I blinked and it was over. This series moves away from so many of the typical anime cliques and truly creates a story that stand by itself even though it has so many 'typical' elements (supernatural and such). One part I adored was how they integrated so many psychology concepts and practices. As someone who got my Bachelors in psych, it was actually intellectually stimulating. The relationship built between the characters was so solid. None of that hero so everyone just falls in love with the main character over used crap. They experienced things together and overcame things that I can understand and relate to. A really wonderful series.
Ghost Hunt (TV) Excellent
(The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie) Very good
(The) Good Witch of the West (TV) Decent
Gunslinger Girl (TV) Very good
Gurren Lagann (TV) Masterpiece
.hack//SIGN (TV) Masterpiece I love this series. This was one of the first anime series that I got into when I was actually aware what anime was. I think its gorgeous and the plot was a winner by me. Also the music is just drop dead amazing.
Hell Girl (TV) Excellent A truly beautiful show to watch at times. The same plot keeps repeating, which can get a bit annoying but they manage to keep it really interesting. I enjoyed the dark themes and in general it didn't feel over done. It was pretty addicting and interesting, the relationships and built in each episode are really well done.
Hell Girl: Two Mirrors (TV) Excellent
Howl's Moving Castle (movie) Masterpiece What can be said but another fantastic Hayao Miyazaki creation.
Jing, King of Bandits: Seventh Heaven (OAV) Good
Karas (OAV) Excellent
Kiki's Delivery Service (movie) Masterpiece Heartwarming and adorable. Sweet in the way you expect from a Ghibli film. This movie is wonderful to watch over and over again.
Kill la Kill (TV) Excellent
Last Exile (TV) Masterpiece A truly magnificent and beautiful show. Watching it is awe inspiring.
Lemon Angel Project (TV) Not really good I can't believe I managed to actually watch all of this. I think it must have been because I really didn't want to do other work. The main character starts out SO annoying in the first few episodes I wanted to throw my computer out the window. The plot is super transparent and the characters are singing stereotypes... get it... ha. Could have been worse I suppose but I don't recommend this unless you really want to see how pop bands are put together. OH not to mention that there was almost no singing! It was totally bazaar that they basically had 2 songs that were played though the whole series .
Little Witch Academia (movie) Decent
Living for the Day After Tomorrow (TV) Good
Lovely Complex (TV) Good
Meine Liebe (TV) Decent
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (TV) Excellent Growing up on Gundam Wing makes it impossible to hate. The main characters are all awesome in true gundam style. The series does leave some unanswered questions but its a pretty good ride.
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (OAV) Excellent
Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit (TV) Masterpiece Very pretty! The art was like WOW. Good plot also, I love strong women that kick ass. It was a very enjoyable anime.
Mushi-Shi (TV) Masterpiece
One Punch Man (TV) Masterpiece
Origin ~Spirits of the Past~ (movie) Excellent
Otogi Zoshi (TV) Masterpiece
Ouran High School Host Club (TV) Masterpiece
Outlaw Star (TV) Decent
Pandora Hearts (TV) Excellent
Paranoia Agent (TV) Excellent So freaking weird, but hey the weirder the better. Paranoia Agent is one of those animes that has a tendency to make your head hurt. I couldn't tell what was psychological during the episodes and if it was supposed to be supernatural. But that just adds to the charm. The characters are totally crazy and thankfully tend not to fall into typical stereotypes. Very nice art work makes it a pleasure to watch as well.
Planetes (TV) Very good
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (movie) Excellent Very cute. Beautiful use of colors. The story is heartwarming and good to show anyones mother.
Princess Mononoke (movie) Masterpiece
Princess Tutu (TV) Masterpiece
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (TV) Excellent
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 1: Beginnings Masterpiece
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part 2: Eternal Masterpiece
Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion Masterpiece
Pumpkin Scissors (TV) Very good
Red Garden (TV) Excellent
Requiem from the Darkness (TV) Very good I was looking for something like Ghost Hunt when I stumbled upon this one. They tackle stories each episode with a lovely eerie perspective that isn't over the top. I enjoyed the characters and the animation was alright. Its a fun watch.
Rozen Maiden (TV) Very good
Rozen Maiden: Träumend (TV) Decent
Samurai Champloo (TV) Excellent
Serial Experiments Lain (TV) Very good
Shamanic Princess (OAV) Good I watched this anime so many times as a kid and didn't really get it. I just thought ooooh pretty a lot. Now that I've re-watched it, my first thought is ooooh pretty. That being said overall story enjoys being vague in the beginning and over-explanatory in the end. It had a decent plot and I enjoyed the battle scenes for the most part. I don't like the time line they used and the characters were either blah or annoying. It was still worth my time and I enjoyed it well enough. Not one of my top choices though.
Soul Eater (TV) Masterpiece
Speed Grapher (TV) Excellent
Spice and Wolf (TV) Excellent
Spirited Away (movie) Masterpiece Possibly one of my favorite movies of all time, right next to non animated movies. Beautiful. Intriguing. Can't help but watch on the edge of your seat. I just can't help but follow the main character with awe as she goes through her journey every time.
(The) Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye (TV) Decent
Tokyo Majin (TV) Good
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho: Tou 2nd Act (TV) Good
(The) Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk (TV) Very good Fun series. Really made me want to pick up an old rpg and level up. Ending = wtf, thats what the second season is for though!
(The) Tower of Druaga: the Sword of Uruk (TV) Very good
(The) Twelve Kingdoms (TV) Excellent
Vampire Princess Miyu (OAV) Decent A different take on the show but it certainly was entertaining. Could have been better and I think that my rating might be higher if I saw it in better quality. Miyu was slightly haughtier and I was slightly disappointed. It had some interested background takes on her though.
Vampire Princess Miyu (TV) Excellent A total guilty pleasure. I've been a huge fan of Miyu since before I understood what anime was. I think it was because I could only rent the first disc and I wanted so badly to watch the rest of the story but I kept re renting that one disc lol. Anyway now that I've seen all of it, I can safely say! That it could be better. BUT I still really enjoyed it. I liked the way they structured the stories in each episodes and well Miyu is so pretty that she is just a joy to watch generally.
(The) Vision of Escaflowne (TV) Masterpiece Can I marry this anime? So good, oh man it was awesome. I LOOOOOOVE this plot and characters and art and yayness thinking about it <3
Welcome to the NHK (TV) Very good Is it odd that I feel like I can relate to this anime? I think its a terrifying prospect. Anyway it was totally weird but very fun!
Witch Hunter Robin (TV) Very good It was good... but I felt like it lacked. Kinda reminded me of the crime shows on tv for the first half. The show was generally just slow and felt slightly boring, I might dropped it if the characters weren't interesting. Also I like dark plots and shows and the art did a good job of reflecting that. But honestly... what was with her hair?
your name. (movie) Masterpiece
Zettai Shonen (TV)
