Notable Mentions:
Pokémon - First real anime I remember watching. I remember when Sky One would show three episodes in a row which were conveniently programmed to coincide for when I got home from school. Good times.
Ichigo 100% - First fansubbed anime I saw. I had read the manga and as soon as I heard there was an anime I was on youtube watching the episodes - this was back when Youtube didn't suck. I think it's actually kind of funny how most non-Japanese anime fans' first fansubbed anime is Naruto or Bleach and I managed to get into anime by watching a generic harem - All of these are shit.
Shuffle - First anime downloaded. It wasn't on youtube and I just had to see "The Greatest Harem Anime" (There's no-one that actually believes that is there?). I've now completely migrated from streaming sites and will never use them again. Sorry Funi. This was also the first time I had encountered a Yandere, and I liked it. It's thanks to this show that School Days exists, so I guess I should be thankful for it.
Mahoromatic - Nothing much, except for here I realised that a character doesn't have to a large chest to be a good character. Also, maid fetish.
School Days - My favourite anime to date. Nothing I have seen so far matches the entertainment I got out of this little 12 episode series. Death Note's earlier episodes come close, but once School Days picks up at episode 5, it does not stop being a brilliant piece of entertainment. The Ending to this show is literally the best thing ever. You have no idea how badly I wanted a harem show to end where the guy gets no-one - ever since the rageworthy Ichigo 100% manga ending actually. It's revolutionary. This is no joke, I really do love this show.
I have a thing with scoring shows. I rarely ever give 10's and 1's unless a show really impresses/offends me. I'm also quite strict with my ratings - anything higher than an 8/10 requires the anime to have more than just simple enjoyment going for it. I'm not quick to rate a show a 9 or 10 and rate very few shows this high before I've completed them. On the other end of the scale - anything less than a 4/10 means that I usually coudn't sit through an episode of a series without getting annoyed at how bad it was. If I were to run into a show that I thought was a 1 or a 2, then I would probably drop it.
Also, all comments on my list are my personal opinions and are to be taken lightly. It's fine if you like KEY - I don't - and am therefore going to bash it at every given oppertunity.
By looking at this list I think it's clear to see that I am a breast lover.

Purippurin Taisou (Kemeko DX ED) - Whatever the fuck this was
Open Your Mind (Ah! My Goddess! OP) - Country Music? No Thanks

What I may say in the next few paragraphs may annoy many people, since it contains a lot of my personal observations and opinions.
Also expect bad language. A lot of it.
Characters that I hate for one reason or another
Hayase Mitsuki (KGNE) - I'm depressed, so lets have sex with my boyfriend's best friend. Ugh. This isn't the only reason, but it's one of the ones that stick out like a saw thumb. See my comment on the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien OVA for some Misuki RAGE.
Shiori Misaka (Kanon 2006) - God I hate this girl so much. Don't really remember why, I just remember the hate. Kyoani, Why must I sit through her shitty arc while superior Nayuki is shafted? (not that I like Nayuki, I just hate her the least)
Misuzu (AIR) - Wow, a 16 year old that has a mental age of 6. I bet the lolicons are all over her.
Every single other AIR character (AIR) - Explains why I dropped this shit after the loli "dies".
Eva Heinemann (Monster) - Please, please tell me she dies later on. Can't stand this spoiled brat.
Isurugi Noe (True Tears) - Girl needs to grow up. Someone tell Misuzu from AIR to GTFO of True Tears. Thanks.
Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - She's a bitch, and not the lovable kind. What was that? she's God? No way. The fact that this bitch is very popular is all the more reason why i hate her so. God, what a bitch.
Rolo Lamperouge (Code Geass) No, I won't accept your gay passion for your brother. I hate you for killing Shirley, and I hate how Sunrise made a big deal of your death. You don't deserve a death scene like that. You deserve to either die quickly with no emphasis on your sorry excuse of a life, or die slowly with great pain and suffering.
Chihiro (Ef - A tale of memories) No, just no. The amount of shitty Key characters that are worshipped is bad enough. It's almost as if the creators saw characters like Tsukimuya Ayu, Fubuki Nagisa and Misuzu, they saw that they were so popular among male otaku and decided to create a character that combines all three. Fuck her with a rake, and fuck the people who came up with such a terrible abomination of a character. And her voice, jesus, don't get me started on that. So, yeah, Chihiro is bad, and you should feel bad for liking her.
I have many hateful thoughts regarding a character known as Haruhi Suzumiya going through my head, here are just a few of them. They range from being very true, to being quite heavily opinionated and ridiculous, and some even being incredibly stupid. They are all reasons to hate nonetheless.
If we are spamming this section, allow me to rattle off a few reasons why not having Haruhi Suzumiya on the character relations list is a great injustice.
She bullies Mikuru into submission way to much for it to be considered entertainment
She pushes Kyon around so much that it seems like he isn't entitled to a life of his own
She has a superiority complex
The fact that she actually is superior, and that she has the power to destroy the world at will, makes me worry for every person on the planet since
She is unstable most of the time
I find her almost as unlikeable as Itou Makoto, she has very few redeeming traits.
She reminds me of my little sister, whom I am secretly plotting to kill.
She has major god aids, and will pass these aids on to Kyon as they elope and Mikuru as she rapes her
She doesn't have an ounce of respect for anybody, yet she's supposed to be God.
She is the target of much unearned and unneeded attention
The amount of people that rate her show a 10 is ridiculous
The show focuses on her, and not the far more interesting Asakura, Tsuruya or the Yaoi KyonxKoizumi tension that they were building up throughout the season.
Her series is all over the place, the order of episodes supposedly arranged by Haruhi herself. Bullshit.
Her show is probably what started all the "KyoAni is awesome" crap. Every other series KyoAni has done (with the exception of FMP: Fumoffu), has been awful beyond belief. I have no idea how anyone could rate any of their series a 10, when, quite frankly, nothing they have done come even remotely close to it.
It's the character's fault when 14 reasons to hate them isn't nearly enough.
In no particular order...
Favourite 3 Studios:
Madhouse - When they do a show there's a 90% chance it will be good. However, when they produce a bad show - it's REALLY bad. This studio has the best Good/bad show ratio.
SHAFT - the best opening and ending animations are usually from SHAFT shows. They also animated Pani Poni Dash, which was a masterpiece of art if ever I saw one.
Studio DEEN - Their adaptations are entertaining. They may take out important plot points - but they manage to keep the enjoyment value fairly high. Case in point: Higurashi, Fate/Stay Night
Most Hated 3 Studios:
KYOTO ANIMATION - What the fuck did they do to Haruhi? And where the hell is FMP4?
Gonzo - the complete opposite of Madhouse. 90% chance the show will suck, yet when they produce a good show it's REALLY good.
wow you were right about the triad taking forever....this is pretty ridiculous. in this time i could have learned japanese and translated it myself ahaha.
Haha yea xD They have great production values and all, but the most disfunctionally dumb set of characters ever doesnt do that any justice... yet evryone worships them >.<
