Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen
10 OVA 4 {Rewatched: +1) This, with its artistic & realistic samurai brutality, somehow began as a 'thou shalt not kill' endless shounen. Iwasaki's melancholy OST, a surprisingly deep / non-waffley philosophical look at human nature + love AND on Blu-ray = 10/10.

Gankutsuou
10 TV 24 GONZO'S MASTERPIECE: the loosest and greatest adaptation, of what became my #1 novel. Gradual buildup, then satisfaction. Revenge was served warm before Edmond Dantes. Remixed classical music, paired with stunning CG patterns. <3 Jougi Nakata. </3 Albert.

Death Note
10 TV 37 By far THE BEST ADAPTATION OF MANGA. Faithful to Light vs L thrills + vastly improved ep25+: condensed manga padding into an epic finale. Only -1: removal of end Ryuk 'twist'. Direction made eating crisps exciting! OST & Miyano = KAMI! 11/10 audio.

Cowboy Bebop
9 TV 26 GETS BETTER WITH AGE!? On Blu-ray the art consistency & detail looks amazing! The ep-to-ep variation, ranging from an Alien parody to mushroom drug insanity, means it never gets old. And the emotional undercurrent & coolness of those last two episodes...

School Rumble
9 TV 26 School Rumble is proof that a silly anime comedy involving school girls and curry can get a high rating out of me. I DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR... EVEN IF I DON'T LAUGH!!!!

Kenpuu Denki Berserk
9 TV 25 WARNING: The end will crush you. Women either get ignored and/or raped in Berserk. TV version covers the Golden Age (non-monster) section of the manga--THE ONLY 10/10 PART. Guts-Griffith-Casca: combined characterisation perfection. 9/10 since incomplete

Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou
9 TV 24 {Rewatched: +1} BATTLE ROYALE x R&J x Ninja Scroll = Basilisk. Refreshingly brutal with its 'everyone dies' approach. Anime additions (/epic sword duel finale) + awesomely tense OST make it a manga +1. IMMORTAL RAPIST: black comedy lulz. Tenzen <3

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid
9 TV 13 BEST ACTION TV ANIME EVER! Following the most tender of hair-cutting scenes, the tension built all the way until the finale. Intense! Rom-com -> drama transition made enduring S1 worthwhile. Sagara's development (/Chidori-clone hooker) was superb.

Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku
9 TV 13 BEST 13 EPISODE ANIME EVER! Horrifying and beautiful at the same time. What happens to Sara will stay with you. More of this needs to be made and less of the 'Oh, a new world - look at the cat girls and my new haerm!' type. Buy and watch it.

Mononoke Hime
9 Movie 1 Miyazaki's only film worthy of adult respect. No 1D villains in this morally ambiguous humans-nature war. Flaws? The lead was overly pacifistic; a rushed-happy end. Nice feminist touch added by the working women. A Ghibli film with blood & dismemberment!?
Add - More
Macross Zero
9 OVA 5 CULTURE CLASH~ The overlooked gem of the Macross saga. Blew me away when I watched without expectations. Baffling how CG from 2002 can look so fluid. Love, dogfights, a culture conflict, and God - the perfect mix. Let down a lil' by OST + "kadun" x100.
Add - More
Gungrave
9 TV 26 Michael Corleone, eat your heart out: Harry MacDowell is where it's at. There isn't much competition but Gungrave is by far the best anime crime drama. If the whole series had been as good as the 2-16 flashback arc, it'd be an easy 10/10.

Final Fantasy VII: Last Order
9 Special 1 Why this has a low(ish) rating I'll never know. It's a faithful adaptation of the best part of the game, with some great Zack development... and it's rated lower than the CG festival that only retards love? THE HELL!?
Add - More
Mushishi
9 TV 26 There are some truly awe inspiring stories included in Mushishi; the most 'impacting' probably being the one where a mother and daughter replaced each other in an endless cycle of rebirth. No ending, but that wasn't enough to make me think badly of it.

Vampire Hunter D (2000)
9 Movie 1 Much like SotS, D covers old ground in style. Originality is nice, but in the case of action flicks the execution is more important, and I can't imagine a much better film about vampire hunting, mixed in with that love of mine: a story of forbidden love.
Add - More
Hotaru no Haka
9 Movie 1 What war does to innocents - a war story with a small scope. When children are used to highlight the horrors of war, it makes what's shown all the more powerful, and GotF is a perfect example of that. Be warned: if you're a wuss, you WILL cry.

Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e
9 TV 24 It's hard to knock an anime that combined quantom phsyics and slice-of-life style character growth. The idea of developing characters by mixing young versions with their 'possible' adult selves was a great one. If not for the 'seahorse' thing, 10/10.

Witchblade
9 TV 24 If there's one anime that gives the totally wrong impression, Witchblade is it. I expected tasteless fan-service and violence; I got heartfelt 'mother & daughter'-ing. Go figure..

Wolf's Rain OVA
9 OVA 4 There needs to be a 'tragedy' genre, with this OVA very close to the top. The TV series disappointed - it lacking an ending - but, boy, did Bones deliver in the end! Killing off those the viewer cares about in quick succession tends to work well...

Junkers Come Here
9 Movie 1 Whisper of the Heart? Psssssh - this is where it's at. If you're looking for a coming of age type of story, where a young girl tries to find her place, this is the film for you. Ignore its low(ish) rating and understand that most people are idiots.

NHK ni Youkoso!
9 TV 24 The COMICAL-DEPRESSING failings of a reclusive mind. Out of all anime, NHK hits most the hardest due to its closeness to reality. Easily the best version of NHK: retaining the best 'filler' from the manga and ending before the worst of it got animated.

City Hunter 2
9 TV 63 Superior to S1. Not only do Ryo & Kaori share many tender moments / kiss, even the tsundere known as Umi got himself a 'partner'. Nearly all of the arcs were two-parters in S2, and the 61-63 end arc FINALLY revealed all about Ryo's past.

Seirei no Moribito
9 TV 26 Basla's well-hidden, motherly boobs need sucking. That aside, Moribito is fantasy wonderfulness... even if it does jump from all-out action to slice-of-life to monster war. Its only flaw? The mid-series pacing - the "I am a tiger" ep being cringe-worthy.

Shin Kimagure Orange☆Road: Soshite, Ano Natsu no Hajimari
9 Movie 1 Quite possibly the best conclusion to a story, ever. Made everything else worthwhile. The realistic art and writing made it different from what came before, in the best possible way. K&M did the deed lovingly, and Hikaru became a likable character.

Ookami to Koushinryou
9 TV 13 {Rewatched: +1} Howo's WITTY TEASING + economics drama = unique! Unconventional, adult romance. S1 lacked a big budget & ep13 was rushed, tho S1 covered the best of S&W. Palencia's "Are you not?" = PERFECT DUB! <3: Howo's playful faces + tail & ears.

Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor
9 TV 26 If men with big noses have big everything else, I'm envious of Kaiji. Non-stop, edge of your seat thrills. Every episode ended on a cliffhanger, and the psychological warfare made simple card games exciting. Has a surprising but disappointing ending.

Eve no Jikan
9 ONA 6 Everything GitS should've been. No woman in skimpy clothing, no Oshii talking through characters. Instead, Eve is an examination of the line between what is and isn't human, on a personal level sure to connect it with viewers. Too little of Sammy; no end.

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
9 TV 26 An enthralling KARMIC CRIME DRAMA, w/ no happy ends. Some contrived 'deaths-that-are-not' ruin it for many, but I accepted them as 3-arc VN adaptation flaws. PIMP ZWEI and his hip-hop! Cal's loli -> babe wtf made paedos cry. Kokia's OP&ED = beautiful~

Fate/Zero 2nd Season
9 TV 12 SOMETHING HAPPEN, zomg: nihilism won as the cast were brutally murdered. Explored Kiritsugu's backstory, also. Rider = manly nooo~ Poor VN tie-in end: underdeveloped Berserker, MATRIX priest and the Grail being.. an evil talky thingy? A bit disappointing.

Naruto
8 TV 220 When I was younger, like many a NARUTARD, I loved Naruto. It was Godly in my eyes, and remained so until after 135. Naruto has now gone to hell and I no longer watch it, but I still have fond memories from when I watched it weekly. Only listed 135/220.

Shinseiki Evangelion
8 TV 26 I liked how Hiroki Endo, an Eva fanboy, only praised the first 14-18 or so episodes. Evangelion has top draw character development, but its awful, no-budget ending ruined it. Need to re-buy on blu-ray for celHD porn.

Shinseiki Evangelion Movie: Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni
8 Movie 1 It started with an intense 'kill everyone!' raid and then got even better; one of the best, most dramatic fight sequences in anime being contained within. However, it failed at explaining the ending, only making people go 'WTF?' even louder.

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
8 TV 12 Before Kyoto covered FMP's action-drama side (TSR), Fumo was made for Sagara to kick arse as a cute bear. E12 (Sagara convinces 2-4 that they're going to die) is one of the funniest episodes around. D'aww @ the SagaraxChidori in-costume moment.

Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080: Pocket no Naka no Sensou
8 OVA 6 In my experience, Gundam is at its best when the focus isn't on overblown melodrama and, instead, the stories play out more as serious dramas, with smaller scopes. And that's why the Gundam OVAs are so appealing to me.

Fruits Basket
8 TV 26 Until 24-26, FB was set to be thought of as an anime where Tohru met animal-people, silliness occurred, and her kindness lead to love. But Kyo got a TON of depth at the end, and Tohru's reaction made her less than the impossibly perfect girl she had been.

Gunslinger Girl
8 TV 13 Something involving little girls and big guns is only going to be one of two things: underage porn or a very depressing story. One of the better character-focused dramas in known existence. Maybe.

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou
8 TV 26 Proof that, without a budget, being faithful to high quality (early on, anyway) source material can end with a positive result. It was funny as hell when the animation studio resorted to using pop-ups (w/e) instead of animating anything. Sequel, where?

Blood+
8 TV 50 /need to re-watch to rate accurately:: Going on my poor memory, Blood+ began as an Americanised, Hollywood-esque (Mark Mancina OST smex) anime. It improved massively as immortal twin plot took over... and then fell at the last hurdle due to budget issues.

Genshiken
8 TV 12 {Rewatched: +1} One of my favourite, more unknown English dubs. Saki's sass & Ohno's cute mischievousness came across SO WELL! Not the manga>anime bore I remembered. The MadaxSaki 'visual novel' ep = S1's best. Saki's antagonistic attitude X otaku = lulz.

Hoshi no Koe
8 OVA 1 I'm far from a Shinkai fan, but even I got a fair bit out of his first effort. A story of how emotions can change over time as age continues to separate two young lovers, VoaDS is very involving, despite its length.

Hajime no Ippo
8 TV 75 I own all but 1/15 volumes on DVD, and I'm glad I collected it. I know nothing about and care not for boxing, but that didn't stop me getting into the varied boxing matches and cheering the lead on. It has to be up there with the best sporty anime!

Hajime no Ippo: Mashiba vs. Kimura

Angel Heart

Ace wo Nerae! (1979)
8 Movie 1 "I've selected you, Oka! You must overcome being a mere woman!" - What inspired Gunbuster; the blood, sweat & tears training and teamwork, as well as the three main characters all being the same. I crave more manly-girliness, so the TV series is next.

Petshop of Horrors

Seikai no Senki II
8 TV 10 Best of C/BotS; even with the leads separated--it bringing their bond into focus. A male-female divided, imploding prison world + the horrifying reality of Jinto & Lafiel's decisions. Lafiel's held-back emotions, paired with Jinn's deathly appearance~

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Seisou-hen
8 OVA 2 Not as good as the prequel OVA, but still very moving. Seeing some of the TV series' action with much improved art and animation was nice, and the new fight was pretty intense. I came close to crying when Sanosuke tried to help Kenshin get back home.

Fantastic Children
8 TV 26 One of those shows you need to stick with. The slow first half was made up for by an enthralling second; the lengthy flashback of Helga's previous lives answering questions in style. TinaxSoran needed more time, but the twist involving Thoma pleased me.

Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex
8 TV 26 {Rewatched: +1} Motoko's high-cut swimsuit = fanwank. Thankfully, Togusa & Batou were so well developed it mattered not. The Laughing Man case, like the series itself, had a human edge Oshii lacks. The series came full-circle with e26 Togusa's close call.

Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte

Koi Kaze

Rec
8 TV 9 A rom-com with SEX AT THE START; one involving the creation of a meme (crisps falling between Aka's spread legs, on TV) and the leads practicing erotic dialogue? Enough said! Shame about Aka willingly accepting a non-lead penis in c24; ruining the manga.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
8 TV 14 Kyon's cynical commentary, aided by Crispin Freeman, made Haruhi tick. Like other school anime, exceot the heroine is an unwitting God & SELFISH BITCH. As Haruhi abused Mikuru, her cute-erotic cries in Eng = <3. Thin line between bullying & comedy.

Black Lagoon

Tenchi Muyou! in Love 2: Harukanaru Omoi
8 Movie 1 This film isn't liked for one reason: it's aimed at adults. In stark contrast to the other Tenchi offerings, the final film was aimed at the fans who'd grown up with Tenchi; who wanted more than silliness. The problem is, its fans didn't grow mentally...

City Hunter

Area 88

Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori

Les Misérables: Shoujo Cosette
8 TV 52 Sadistic, me? No: Les Mis was just better when it focused on child abuse & a desperate mother's despair. E20+, the pacing went to hell. The pure romance went in circles. Valjean saved the series, but Javert's "People can change!" anime 180 made me cringe.

Genshiken OVA
8 OVA 3 The turning point for Saki & Ohno's characters. Saki has mellowed out, no longer hating otaku, and Ohno comes out of her shell--her fujoshi arguments with Ogiue amusing. The MadaxSaki clothes ep = Genshiken's best. LOVED the OVA's vibrant colour palette.

8 TV 12 Surpasses the original. So insignificant was S1 that most of its cast only made cameo reappearances. A new, revenge-driven childhood friend of Birdy allowed for a narrative which merged her past with her mission to hunt an all-new group of terrorists.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
8 TV 64 If Ed's refusal to kill + NO romantic intimacy didn't highlight FMA's shounen roots, God's fist-beating did. Non-stop action @ end. But it went all Eva as Father turned out to be a condescending 1D smirker. Mustang's click 'n burning = Best of FMA:B (x2).

Macross F Movie 1: Itsuwari no Utahime
8 Movie 1 NOT a recycled recap--nearly all new. Sheryl's 'light/dark' performance was orgasmic. Plus, she was made less bitchy with her refusal to leave. The spy subplot made what was incomprensible into a cohesive narrative. Better than MF TV + Sheryl -> Ranka.

Ookami to Koushinryou II
8 TV 12 (Rewatched: +1} New studio = prettier. Put trading aside to focus on H&L's bond. Worked well in ep1-6's INTENSE NTR arc. Wolf fur arc cut WAY too much; resulting in wtf-riot confusion. Excellent H&L dialogue, but Howo was a DRAMA QUEEN. Worst 'kiss' ever!

Spirit of Wonder: China-san Tanpenshuu
8 Special 3 Wordless 'Mini-China' segment moved me in a way anime rarely does. The sake short, where Miss China reminisced about her parents & life in England as a foreigner whilst dancing drunk at night on the beach, was relatably charming. ALSO: BATH TIT-JIGGLE~

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Specials
8 Special 4 Shame Winry's earring bribery (ep2) wasn't part of the main series. Ed pointing out how simple she was acting was priceless. I would've liked to see the origins of Roy & Maes' friendship (ep4) included, too. Even Izumi's bear-killing ep was good.

Break Blade Movie 1: Kakusei no Toki
8 Movie 1 Reminded me of Kira vs. Athrun. Generic-ish yet gorgeous & well-made. The lead being special due to inferiority - only able to pilot the #1 mecha due to magic fail - is neat. The Queen is dead-on to get a divorce for lead-lovin'. The Queen's arse...

Eve no Jikan (Movie)
8 Movie 1 Nearly all of the ONA content, with SOME new bits; most lasting under a minute. Disappointing because all but the credits + final scene added NOTHING, either being worthless or only confusing matters with undefined terms. No new RikuoxSammy content...

Arakawa Under the Bridge
8 TV 13 Should've ended with Ric in a mental institute; discovering he'd been dreaming about other patients. Tempted to 7/10 for the life-rambling intros & unfunny gag finishes. Maria's hamster-cheeked (MOE~!), dominatrix trash-talking (STAMP ON ME!!) swayed me.

Karigurashi no Arrietty
8 Movie 1 I have a fetish for little-large romance (/shota), so THAT EVIL BITCH HARU cockblocking lead duo wuv irked me. My only real complaint is that it was a lil' uneventful. Loved seeing house from tiny PoV, with Ghibli's high budgeted attention to detail.

Highschool of the Dead
8 TV 12 Combine boobs with a post-apoc setting + zombies, and leave it to MH - that's clearly the best way to create shallow but insanely addictive, zombie 'em up fun. Bullet-time boobs and a sword-wielding lady, who gets aroused by violence... need I say more?

Mardock Scramble: The First Compression
8 Movie 1 Puts the ghost in the shell. DECADENT, NEON GREEN intro, w/ Conisch's unique OST, wowed me. Focused on 15yo prostitute heroine over cyberpunk; the incest courtroom scene impressed. EQUILIBRIUM STYLIN' all-action end. D'AWW: cyborg + mouse wuv. Oeufcoque<3

Break Blade Movie 2: Ketsubetsu no Michi
8 Movie 1 Pacifist leads in war stories need to deal with death and go emo, afterwards. It was funny how the lead got "Dan" killed by holding his gun ("Don't worry - IT WAS HIS FAULT!"). The 'leaving' bit made me sad. (HOW COULD YOU THINK OF LEAVING *THAT* QUEEN!?)

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
8 TV 13 Jamie Marchi convinces as a slut. Cyber City vulgarity, w/ BEST DUB EVAR class. Cartoon filth & anime goth-loli weird. P&S sibling BITCH WAR: +1 after demonic rivals. Parody / satire gold: LOL @ Romeo & Juliet scene. Inconsistent but ends strong. WHER S2?

Break Blade Movie 3: Kyoujin no Ato
8 Movie 1 The first half made up for the previous lack of action. The lead imitating a rhino was cool. Reminded me of SEED (again!), but I don't care when classical music plays as an implausible 12yo goes mental on an army. Sigyn-prisoner stupidity prevented 9/10.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume Specials
8 Special 2 Using a visual medium THE RIGHT WAY. Why have mouths flapping when movement is all that's needed (along with ADORABLE noises + "Geso-geso!") White vs. Black Mini-Ika pencil hurdling = 9/10. EP2 = 7/10ish; a talkitive shrimp taking away the magic.

8 TV 25 ALMOST NO SCHOOL GIRLS + an adult-father lead. Fuck yeah! American SUPERHERO sensibilities + anime cool. Let down by no supporting heroes time (2/8 got nothing), a clear black/white divide (only 1 greyer) & ending unfinished. Last arc went epic -> draggy.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai II
8 TV 12 Much better 'conquests' than S1's. AN ACTUAL NORMAL GIRL got an arc, and the lead's aversion to reality was *NOT* glorified. Ditto for the student teacher arc. Still lovin' the production values (WUV airheaded spaz-demon~). Liked the new demonic hotty.

Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. (TV)

Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Hakairoku-hen
8 TV 26 Kaiji's irresistible when the simplest of games get made complex through psychological duels. The manly narration + OTT metaphors make it ADDICTIVE. But S2 spent 70%+ on a war against a pachinko machine. Only on S1's level when the dice rolled.

Momo e no Tegami
8 Movie 1 The modern answer to Ghibli's 'tweeny magic'. An antisocial, fearful girl wouldn't fit with Miyazaki. But that human element grounded the film. And Momo's crazy reactions peeled away her restraint most amusingly. Ghastly over-cartoonish monsters = YES!

Kokoro Connect
8 TV 13 Ignoring Iori's 'death' + "I thought you wanted an abusive father!" WTF, characterisation gold. Supernatural resolutions to trauma via friendship rises it above its school girl ilk. If Inaban masturbates to Taichi in 14-17, 10/10.

Berserk: Ougon Jidai-hen III - Kourin
8 Movie 1 2hrs of emotional build-up & breakdown, leading into the horror of the eclipse. Pacing excellence. Shame about the 1hr prequels! HOWEVER, Wylad got cut AGAIN + the same end as TV ver. WHY BOTHER!? The lack of music made me miss Hirasawa's HAUNTING OST...

Sakasama no Patema
8 Movie 1 INVERTED GRAVITY & prejudice separates humans. A unique R&J love story. The leads needing to hold each upside down = unspeakably beautiful. Sadly, didn't explain the up-down-up-down (/twists) setting + a Mr.1D Evil villain. Ended too soon, without payoff.

Binbougami ga!
8 TV 13 ALMOST 9. Its parody-filled humour & sassiness make it one of few truly funny anime. Tittyko's a school girl with HUGE boobs, but they're part of hr as a person~ Her development into a less bitchy noisy bitch pleased me. Palencia's Tittyko = PERFECT DUB!

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
8 TV 13 Hachiman would argue PESSIMISTIC CYNICISM = being a realist. "Despicable" actions helping others, the anime! Not having a tit-harem fawn over an impotent wuss is a +100... yet it STILL fell prey to the 'NO ROMANTIC PROGRESS!' + school club/festival traps.

Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni
8 Movie 1 Mostly a funny 1930-40's slice-of-lifer, following an endearingly scatterbrained girl married into a new family (sister-in-law lol).. and then, World War II. Convincing via melodrama aversion. MAPPA made it look lovely, and art style is uniquely charming~

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!

Harmonie
8 Movie 1 Struck a chord with me. The way the social classes were depicted divided at school (otaku / cool kids) and how that wall was broken by music / a dream moved me. I'd like an extended version but there's little else to add and it'd be ruined. NICE ART!

Omoide no Marnie
8 Movie 1 'Fine On The Outside' credit song was SO FITTING~ The almost anti-Miyazaki exploration of social anxiety moved me, and rural escape leading to lesbo-friendship soothed mein soul. A touching and beautiful final Ghibli film. A lil' uneventful, tho.

Akatsuki no Yona
8 TV 24 A SQUIRREL that tells characters "FUCK YOU". I never thought anime would make me giggle! The visuals are matched by its asian period piece OST. Uneventful, but Yona's revenge-growth = YES! Reminiscent of SUIKODEN = kinda awesome, overall.

Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky
8 Movie 1 Minor cuts + flashbacks aside, IDENTICAL to the ONA. Not that that's bad: as stylish as it is grim, Thunderbolt is Gundam for those wary of anime. FREE-FLOWING visuals match the jazz; showing instead of telling. Small-scale war despair melds w/ OTT mecha.

Lupin the IIIrd: Chikemuri no Ishikawa Goemon
8 Movie 1 Titular 'Blood Spraying' yakuza scene (hands chopped everywhere!) is ANIME'S BEST ACTION SEQUENCE since SotS. Hawk showdown also very cool. Koike learned well from Kawajiri. Goemon only got badarse samurai & emo-training zzz time. Not enough Fujiko.

Blade Runner: Black Out 2022
7 ONA 1 Betters Blade Runner 2049 zZz, in 15mins. Fitting that, having taken from Asian culture and Japan doing so in-turn, that we get this anime. Watanabe's lost none of his stylish action flair: Trixie's fight sequence flowed like water, as Spike would say.

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira
7 Movie 1 The more I re-watch, the harder it is to endure its 2hr length. It goes against CB's 20-min episodic cool and just isn't as fun as the standalone eps, or as meaningful as the double ep finale from the series. CB was never meant for the movie format.

Scrapped Princess
7 TV 24 Starts out as a light-fun medieval fantasy, grounded by the bond shared between three siblings. Somewhere along the way, it goes in a Matrix-esque sort of 'JRPG goes sci-fi' direction that ALMOST ruins it. A struggle to re-watch beyond halfway.

Onegai☆Twins
7 TV 12 At first, I was actually thinking of 9/10ing this due to the well-handled and new (to me) concept of one guy living with two girls; unaware of which is his twin and which is ok to screw. It did start to get old after awhile, though, and I lost interest.

Video Girl Ai
7 OVA 6 Ignoring the video girl/world silliness that occurred at the start and end, a top rom-com. The art/animation looked nice; it having an 'old school', non-CG edge. I disagree with those who suggest it's less predictable than I''s, but it was a great watch!

Wolf's Rain

Samurai Champloo
7 TV 26 If not for 24-26 and *THAT* SAMURAI SHOWDOWN CLIMAX on the edge of a cliff, not on the same page as Cowboy Bebop. Its period piece setting limited it; making its zombie/baseball episodicness bizarre. The lead trio were dull outside of Mugen's idiocy.

Shin Angel
7 OVA 5 NA starting with sex and the art lacking the old school charm of Angel made me worried. But, after EP1, Shizuka became an uncanny Madoka lookalike (KOR), and the two-part finale was more rom-com than hentai. Funny, moving AND erotic (UNCENSORED!) sex.

Great Teacher Onizuka
7 TV 43 My rating doesn't tell the whole story. At one point, during a sequence of TERRIBLE FILLERS, I 6/10'd it. What saved it from my wrath was a faithful adaptation of the school trip arc; the second best part of the manga. Awful 'ending'.

Perfect Blue
7 Movie 1 Mima's imaginary double is 'Show; don't tell' overdone. Later, when reality & dream were looped into one, it was brilliant. But then came the needless twist ending--a fat woman dressed as an idol + killing... WHY!? Halfway between idiocy and genius.

7 TV 26 A silly and rarely dull parody of JRPGs. Isn't it odd how there are always Gods waiting to be revived, and lots of unique people happy to join an heroic party? It got a little old near the end, even with Lina's fireballs. Too much filler in the middle.

7 TV 11 MIXED: The forbidden love intro arc was poor--outdated & cheap. Oiwa's vengeful tale was far better: believably despicable characters & FF Amano's art. Goblin Cat's ARTSY style and mystery-thriller edge made it the standout, with a twisted end twist.

Takahashi Rumiko Gekijou Ningyo no Mori
7 TV 11 I enjoyed RT's attempt at HORROR. The curse of immortality resulting from eating mermaids was depicted in a very dark, human way. Mana was too much of a useless damsel and there wasn't a narrative beyond 'travel; encounter immortals; tragedy'. UNFINISHED!

Umi ga Kikoeru
7 TV Special 1 With this being one of the most realistic Ghibli titles, devoid of any shocking content and without Miyazaki as its director, it's no surprise the average anime fan rates it quite low. It's a shame when it's one of the better, more moving films I've seen.

7 TV 12 The drama as Kazuhiro dealt with moving to a new town for a job his heart wasn't in was great. As was the early tragedy, and the EP focused on his girl, Megumi, visiting him. But there was no closure to the romance, making it seem a bit pointless...

Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
7 TV 26 Its military state vs refugees set-up was fascinating. Sadly, S2 kept 'wheel spinning': an OBV EVIL guy accompanying Section 9, inciting refugees, REPEAT. Impressed when focusing on the refugees as all hell broke loose at the end. MOTOKO WORE TROUSERS!?

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru

7 Movie 1 There are no miracles, huh? A REFRESHINGLY PRAGMATIC LEAD: not hesitating to use a body as a shield. The expanded, PLOT HOLEY mandrake arc let it down. Lame anime onry Chun fight. Decent manhwa teaser + beautiful 'Chun silently follows' bit: that music~

Touch
7 TV 101 A classic with an emotionally absorbing, childhood love triangle beginning. MxT goes nowhere after 1-27; the romantic developments being replaced with filler. 10/10 to 7/10. Minami is one of the loveliest 2D creations EVER. Tatsuya isn't.

Kimagure Orange☆Road
7 TV 48 Viewed as a rom-com that can't help but make you smile, great. But the love triangle is horribly forced. 'Darling!' is an annoying plot device; existing only to stop KxM. Sod all happened, but the KxM bits were superb, and the time-looping added depth.

City Hunter 3
7 TV 13 Between S1 & S2, CH switched from single to double ep stories. S3 had more singles; meaning less depth. However, the last four (two arcs) eps involved R&J drama & a vengeful woman finish. Short & not a 'best of' collection, but more of CH is never bad.

7 TV 13 Like S3, had more self-contained singles, but done better. Little came across as recycled. The eps dealing with Umi's life at Cat's Eye and Kaori having a date with Ryo impressed the most. Sadly, it ended without ANY closure--not even a double ep finish.

7 TV 24 Solid character development, a very lovable lead, and episodes short enough to not bore me. Rated 7/10 because, as ever, the ending wasn't great; it not even making sense why 'i-so-honi' had the mission he did. NEVER JUDGE AN ANIME BY ITS MAL RATING!

7 TV 12 Girls hitting guys lulz = used ad nauseum. But a story RELIANT on male masochism & tsundere sadism? NEW! Humour ranging from the lead's mom&sis lying about him impregnating them (amnesia) & him going gay via hypnotism rises it above cliched club-hareming.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
7 TV 12 Dating sim strategies on REAL GURLS. Shame the girls are game archetypes. The ONLY interesting conquest = library girl--her introverted monologues obv not being visible text; adding human complexity. Looks, direction, humour... believable heroines, where?

Shinryaku! Ika Musume
7 TV 12 What's with the squid girl? "It matters not!", answers Japan, with 3-shorts-per-ep gagtastic slapstick. Like Yotsuba, but with Yotsuba having tentacles & understandable retardation. THAT Mini-Ika segment: MAGICAL storytelling cuteness, with NO dialogue.

Seitokai Yakuindomo
7 TV 13 A four-panel manga adaptation about pure maidens coming out with random perverted filth (much to the plays-it-straight male lead's displeasure). The endless misinterpretations get old & result in time-checking, but GoHands colours + dirty-funny = YES!

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
7 TV 12 Maid Fetishism~ The daily daftness of a part-time maid; FULL-TIME SPAZ. Randomness, ranging from aliens, heaven and the local laundromat. Arousing Shafting... BUT FUCK "POKO" & SHAFT's LIFE 'INSIGHTS'! Math Teacher's rage over Ms. Spaz guessing = YES!

Kowarekake no Orgel
7 OVA 1 Why am I surprised the heroine is a loli, yet not romantically involved with the lead?.. well, w/e: Orgel is a bit special. A cute-bot with childlike, girlish curiosity enters the life of a tragic young man; saving him from himself. Ended far too quickly.

Break Blade Movie 4: Sanka no Chi
7 Movie 1 20 units going through the middle of an enemy pincer = tactical retardation. It was even topped by the others following after they were annihilated. Sigyn reminiscing about confessing, SigynxCleo and Girge's Godliness = 8/10, tactics aside.

Highschool of the Dead: Drifters of the Dead
7 OVA 1 Best way to increase sales? Make an OVA centered around the cast of boobs getting naked, high & having an ORGY. The anime team CRAVE TakashixSaeko - this time they showed them getting it on! +1 for Saeko's LUSTY arse movements & LESBO kissing.

Happy Birthday: Inochi Kagayaku Toki
7 Movie 1 Depicts human cruelty. Bullying & an unloving mother team-up for HEAVY yet believable drama. DOES get laid on thick though, with a 'bad upbringing = NASTY!' aspect for a happy end. The disabled girl's awkward-stiff limbs + innocent-happy face = HAUNTING!

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai Specials
7 ONA 4 Made me into a Kuroneko fanboy. Without the bitchy lil' sis abusing her wuss of a bro, and with Kuroneko's ADORABLE poker-faced tsundere self leading the way, it was MUCH better. No bitch + flirtatious romance + 'normal' Kuroneko development... 'till ep4.

Coquelicot-zaka kara
7 Movie 1 Poppy's problem: it's a film about little, without any Ghibli fantasy to hide it. A great job was done of telling its story ('brother-sister' love woes + a club house demolition battle), and it was presented maturely... but it lacked va-va-voom.
Add - More
Fate/Zero
7 TV 13 Zero's failing is evident from the beginning: the cast TALK IN CIRCLES! There are times when it's as epic as its Battle Royale premise suggests but, mostly, episodes are chattered away as depth is added. NO DEATHS until S2 + ends at anti-climatic point.

Berserk: Ougon Jidai-hen I - Haou no Tamago
7 Movie 1 CG as fluid as 2D animation missing frames. GREAT when 2D, and key scenes were adapted superbly, but the inconsistent CG always ruined my fun. Only Zodd's monstrous self looked good in 3D. 70min INCLUDING credits; resulting in unnecessary cuts... why?

Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki The Animation
7 OVA 2 Starts at 1st game's end. 'FUCK YES!' fan nods (Schera whipping Oliver; Estelle being Estelle; harmonica battle music remix) + dat fight fluidity. Ep1 Joshua fight choreography smex. Crappy love>hatred 'ESTELLE HUGGLE!' chatter. Abrupt surprise kissu end.

Ojiisan no Lamp

7 TV 13 "I want to trace around your large happy noodle" - WTF lyrics!? An underwhelming recap start, BUT S2's four-panel gaggery > S1's. LOTS more of Yamada wanting to be spoiled whilst annoying, Satou's xmas tree hairdo + adds-to-humour cast additions = S3 PLZ!

Persona 4 the Animation
7 TV 25 THE BEST GAME ADAPTATION... and it still fell short. Numerous game fan +1s (social linking, calendar, music), silent lead was turned into a troll-pimp and Nanako was EVEN MORE ADORABLE... but the lack of epic boss battling + the mystery anti-climax hurt.

Tibet Inu Monogatari
7 Movie 1 Tibetan Mastiffs > Wolves. Nomadic peeps & their cool dogs. A kid goes rural with his never-seen dad (/mom death), and fur flies as the golden new-dog wins the heart of the boss-dog's bitch. Aside from 1v1-with-monster dogliness daftness, unique woofness.

Towa no Quon 4: Guren no Shoushin
7 Movie 1 Best of the six, if only for the lead's do-gooder routine backfiring after he saved Mr. Cyborg; taking him back to the mutants' SECRET hideout. Everyone even told him DOOM would follow. Villain logic: attack/alert the enemy AND THEN nuke from orbit.

Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin
7 OVA 6 PRE-ROBOT GunDAM fails as Char's origin story: perfectXinconsistent. Abandoning sis + contrived body double 101 = retcon fanwank. Improves wid war. Succeeds as Zabi/Zeon war backstory; despite most important chara killed asap. Cat gave me ze most 'feels'.

Tiger & Bunny Movie 2: The Rising
7 Movie 1 Ouroboros NOT MENTIONED & Lunatic had a CAMEO role! More 'Naruto movie' than sequel. Cool bits missing in TV series (/Black Gay's backstory) + more of Kotetsu's '1-min-man' arc, but a DISAPPOINTING "Thanks-Bye!" 'grand finale'. +1 all-action end.

Berserk: Ougon Jidai-hen II - Doldrey Kouryaku
7 Movie 1 Even more gaudy CG. The CascaxGuts tree bit got skipped--the emphasis on Doldrey wasted without Guts' pre-battle leaving talk. Guts vs. Griffith onwards was PERFECT; bettering the manga with its EROTIC sex as Griffith was busy thinking of Guts intensely.

Rakuen Tsuihou
7 Movie 1 Initially 5/10'd as 'ANIME' GitS. Rewatched, it was a fun road-trip wid nice action. Dub helped: Blum's laid-back Spike voice & no JP tsundere typecasting. Warmed to Ms.Ballsack's faces/art. -1's: simplistic futuristic statue-ing + gaudy-tits beach intro.

Psycho-Pass
7 TV 22 Implausibly dumb 'fluctuating number pre-crime' = GO MAKISHIMA! Because of the premise, the dark characterisation did impress, BUT: A heroine in a man's world = "KILLING WRONG!" Kougami's intense kung-fu rivalry drove the show. OP2's colour-style = Wau!

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Relay Shousetsu wa Ketsumatsu ga Hanpanai
7 OVA 1 Yozora bullying Sena NEVER GETS OLD. This time she had her fictionally raped as each character wrote part of a story. Everyone got time to do their thing by having Kodaka act out their 'swordsman of lulzdom' fantasies. Good choice for an all-in-one extra.

6 TV 26 Even though Suzuka pulled on my heart-strings, it had some bothersome flaws. Namely, Suzuka being enough of a bitch to put most off the series and it ending LONG before the end of the manga. The sport/love sides were combined to great effect.

Spriggan
6 Movie 1 Usually, the back-stories of high school agents of justice get revealed before fights to the death with old foes--not at the end! The "Noah's Ark" sci-fi story went nowhere, and that left only numerous fluid action sequences. Nice eye candy and no more.

Gokujou Seitokai
6 TV 26 Suspension of disbelief required: whenever there's even a hint of drama, there's always an easy, happy solution. But it succeeds as a sausage-less, episodic anime where colorful girls use covert ops to save the day. Looks and plays out a bit like My-HiME.

Armitage III: Poly-Matrix
6 Movie 1 A good cyperpunk flick that hits the right notes aesthetically, yet is overshadowed by GitS. Earth-Mars politics linking into a robot serial killer better than its cop BUDDY-WUV execution. Random end action. OVA>movie rushed in places. KIEFER SUTHERLAND~

Jin-Rou
6 Movie 1 Has a mood-setting presentation, and its 'wolf in sheep's clothing' story is made good by a late twist. The problem? CONSTANT wolf analogies, without subtly (Red Riding Hood gets re-told!). Also: time-wasting pacing, with little spent on key moments.

Yume de Aetara
6 OVA 3 This is something of a guilty pleasure; I admit. It has the same sort of premise as Maison Ikkoku and its ilk, the main difference between it and MI being the OVERLY pathetic lead. I'm betting I'd enjoy the manga a lot if I gave it a chance.

Yume de Aetara (TV)

6 Special 1 Some insight was FINALLY given into Gould's back-story, and a number of loose ends were tidied up neatly, but still: Blue ended FAR too soon. Will Keel and Isla ever get together? What's going to happen to Gould and his crew?... No romance makes me sad.

6 OVA 7 I lost count of how many times 'evil' was said. The childish 'good vs. evil' dialogue clearly highlighted that it's an adaptation of an OLD JRPG, but that's what made it so appealing to me. Good fun, though I doubt non-JRPG players would enjoy it...

6 TV 12 When transferring to an all-girl school, in search of lesbian love, you wouldn't want to live with a sadistic boy who dresses as a girl. Kanako nosebleeds over girls; Mariya bullies her... repeat. Has SHAFT's wordiness and is fun, but it gets old FAST.

Bakemonogatari
6 TV 15 SHAFT deceived viewers into thinking text, still-switching & empty CG = animation. Too much dialogue; most covering 'NO PANTIES!?' subjects. A stealth harem with supernatural dullness. Only Hitagi's tsundere-cum-yandere-cum-robot self made it worthwhile.

Kara no Kyoukai Movie 6: Boukyaku Rokuon
6 Movie 1 KnK MOE. Mikiya's lil' sis wuvs him, and she hates Shiki as a result. So, sending Shiki undercover to her school to hunt fairies = lulz. YET ANOTHER KnK 'filler' with a meh plot. But who cares when an adorable tsundere stomps around while blushing?

Tales of Symphonia The Animation: Tethe'alla-hen
6 OVA 4 10+min longer eps AND improved visuals. +1 as an adaptation. BUT, I preferred OVA1's JRPG speed-run. Eps1-2 were GREAT, w/ Regal's kickboxing & quality new cast intros. Sheena's ep (squirrel ;_;) was drawn-out. WTF Japan @ Regal Muscleman x loli maid.

Kemono no Souja Erin
6 TV 50 Fictional animal aimlessness until 40+. Edited for kids: a 'comical' filler duo, farting & blood removal. So much re-used content that mid-ep AMVs were frequent. 15-25 eps cut + maturity = a rival for Moribito, but its execution mean it's 100% inferior.
Add - More
Senjou no Valkyria
6 TV 26 For every right, a wrong. You DON'T adapt a SRPG and remove the battles! Generic Anime 101 heroine tsunderisation + love-tri drama. 18-20 IMPROVED the story by dealing with the trauma of Laura Bailey's death & Faldio going loco, after squad annihilation.
Add - More
Cross Game
6 TV 50 Not an improved remake of Touch. The tragedy occurred too early for me to care, and Kou & Aoba had no romance in their relationship until the end. Enjoyable if you like slow-paced slice-of-life / baseball, but fillerish and disappointing, otherwise...
Add - More
Sora no Otoshimono
6 TV 13 Amusingly creative tidbits such as farcical philosophical figurine-on-pigeon intros and flying panties circling the globe stand out. But it's 110% a trashy balloon-tits harem. Slave drama + a decreasing budget (chibis / unique EDs, tho~ <3) weigh it down.

Final Fantasy VII: On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel
6 OVA 1 For an OVA created to explain the back-story of a 'filler' character, this was actually quite good. It's odd how the FFVII OVAs are good and the actual films kind of suck...

6 OVA 7 A side-switching 100yr secret treasure hunt + SAWANOO fail to hide that this is another Gundam where a whiny 'killing is wong' brat PREACHES TO EVERYONE as he battles a red mecha. Love triangle SO fake-forced: black Gundam Riddhe lol. Full Frontal <3~

Nyan Koi!
6 TV 12 A violent d-cup girl + lots of pussy = Aion happy. The dense lead of this frantic comedy about him and his harem wasn't even a four-eyed freak. So, why 6/10? Needs S2 for any resolution & the lead rejects his (D-cup!) fangirl for small-boobed cuteness.

So Ra No Wo To
6 TV 12 Sound Sky: MOE 'subtle sadness' + budgetsmex EUROPEAN culture. <3: Oshima's (/FMA) music. Kanata being Firis & female-onry military outpost overshadowed world-building. Best eps: Kanata needing to piss/ahegho + KurehaxDILF. -1: Ep11-12 1D villain + Noel.

Deadman Wonderland
6 TV 12 Until the guitar-gun monk, VG. Began as a prison theme park DEATH RACE FOR CANDY gorefest. Went shounen w/ BLOOD POWA battles. Lost edge w/ an evil loli super enemy + prison escape fail. For the best it ended before the 'plot' killed brain cells. DAT OP!

X-Men
6 TV 12 <3 Steve Blum's Wolverine--his gruff ONE-LINERS. Broship bantz with Cyclops = YES! But overall? Shite 'repeat questions w/o answers' last half pacing. WHY so few mutants included!? LIPTASTIC, curvy stylin' but dull colours. Ep4 fight: indecipherable MESS.

Tezuka Osamu no Buddha: Akai Sabaku yo! Utsukushiku
6 Movie 1 An epic scope (/FMA music) but clearly rushed. Especially during the 'jumpy' first 20mins. Had some powerful parts, such as the Migaila romance, but ending with one 'lead' dead and the other suddenly removing his hair / leaving made it feel... pointless.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu
6 Movie 1 Stoic Girl 2.5hrs fanwank. Narration about the prologue length: PACING, WHER? Film so long Kyon had an argument WITH HIMSELF. Kyon's monologues becoming 'SHUT UP!' = series done. Haruhi vanishing (yay!) + no-one recognising Kyon despair was superb.

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha Gaiden
6 Special 4 Planning: "Make Yin a love interest & give her an EVIL split personality based on a Goddess prophecy. Contractors = failed dolls, also." LOSES CHARM w/o Kanno's music. Liked ep1 bonding, ep4 Hei SMEX & dark tone but series identity lost in disjointedness.

Kita e.: Diamond Dust Drops Special
6 Special 1 It's a bit strange that the ice skating story wasn't concluded on TV - it was quite good. I guess only 12 slots were available, and with this episode not featuring any girlxguy drama, it was cut so they could fit in an 'altogether!' episode at the end.

Shiki
6 TV 22 Watch '30 Days of Night' instead. 65% not stopping vampires; 35% 'humans murder those POOR VAMPIRES that chose to kill!' Inconsistent: vampires jump high & dent metal, yet die easily. TWO CREEPY MOMENTS, total. Ozaki's don't-give-a-fuck self saved it.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei
6 TV 11 Repeats itself in 9/11 eps; bores for 2/11. Needed character growth--the cast only playing 1D roles. The lead realizes at the end that he was already happy... JOY! Everyone was vampire pale & had dots for eyes. JP speed-talking = SUBTITLE NIGHTMARE!

Sora no Otoshimono: Project Pink
6 OVA 1 Heaven's Lost Fanservice~ Some budget was re-found and the sort of perverted antics the series began with returned via a trip to upscale swimming baths. Tomoki semi-drowned; perving underwater at boobs jiggling/panties removed by the current... Yay?
Add - More
Kure-nai OVA
6 OVA 2 Kurenai's srs-biz bodyguard-'parenting' gone generic. A proper fight-over-wimp-with-boobs harem comedy. The loli went all tomboy; losing all sensitivity & her 'princess' appeal. The lead's harem abandoning him - fearing he ISN'T ACTUALLY GAY - amused me.

Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu
6 TV 24 Jumbled srs-funi pacing + TERRIBAD end. The discrimination made lazy-indifference endearing & a multifaceted 'war to end wars' promised much. BUT, it went on an ABSURD 'Jekyll&Hyde king' tangent. NO END; NO INFO! Lelouch's screaming>crazy laughter = YES!

6 TV 24 Masterplan fail: to HOPE a 15yo loli (via dancer rape) can tell Mr. Evil what to do. UNNECESSARY 'captive princess' drama. Juvenile bitchxdoormat fun + 'HOW U KNO!?' thrills... and 'refer to humans as wolves' dumb. Ninja mom HAD TO wait until the end...

Asura
6 Movie 1 If this was a game, the CG would not impress. If the point of Asura was to illustrate that humans are animals, having a beastly brat eat people worked. BUT, I would've rather seen a smooth beast-to-human transition. A sudden shaved-head ending = NO!

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!
6 TV 13 5-6/10. Old gags, w/ mostly lame new ones. Ep8's touching / creative French-JP Minami (best girl<3) backstory is BT's best. But around half is SHITE: trip-battling + gay duo Halloween arcs. Yuuji tween drama was AMATEURISH. End: cast run in retard circle.

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai
6 TV 12 Slowly got worse--as if they ran out of ideas; opting for repetition. Watching Mr. Pussy-Whipped get abused by a tsundere was fun. But the melodrama over a vain bitch's hobby... Kirino's sudden deredere turn + Japan-America 5-min drama = a lame 'end'.

Kore wa Zombie desu ka?
6 TV 12 When the villain asked to become a penguin, I accepted it. The lead gets turned into a zombie by a stoic loli, gets turned into a "magical girl" by a tsundere loli, meets a "vampire ninja".. and lives w/ them. BAD "800%!" battles; GOOD lil' sis fantasies.

Steins;Gate
6 TV 24 RUINED by VN padding. Catgirl&Ladyboy = NO! Uneventful until "Tuturu!" loop. Simplistic 'fate = death if 0-2%' pish. Needed sci-fi smarts over HAREM. Okabe-Tsundere bickering saved it. Established cast + setting only = SMALL-SCALE! Silly 'trick time' end.

Break Blade Movie 5: Shisen no Hate
6 Movie 1 Rygart went AWOL to save his bro. Liked that all of the villagers were dead, in the anime--set the mood. Too much got squashed in, and Girge's one-legged ownage session + the aftermath got cut. Rygart chasing after Girge mid-battle was a lazy anime edit.

Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo
6 Movie 1 Scenery porn. Looking at the backgrounds -> watching. Gorgeously detailed. But the film? Average girl + bishie from another world--a recycling job that began 45 mins in. Improved with Agartha exploration, but a film about little, with a NEEDLESS heroine.

Senjou no Valkyria 3: Tagatame no Juusou
6 OVA 2 Anime-ish with its nameless band of multicolour teen soldiers. Also retcon-ish, w/ battles involving VC1's cast. I'd play it, tho. No clue WHY the cast fought both sides but ep2's VC1+3 battle was good. Fan-service for fans & a teaser for a JP-only PSPer.

Ao no Exorcist
6 TV 25 ADAPTED TOO EARLY: 1-15 covered the intro; 16+ anime original hell. Power-levels got skewered (Yukio = Paladin) & plot threads got rushed to a Satan battle conclusion. The twin's mother (LOVE!) + blue night explanation made sense, at least... GREAT DUB!

6 TV 13 A vibrant 'cast building' intro, with no S2 hope. Needed ep7's backstory urgency & shock value over its duration. The lead's a coward & the girlfriend a Hiroya Oku reject. Dolls needed more than creepy noises; needed blood 'n guts battles. Sold on manga.

6 TV 26 +1 for Yuno's "Yukki~!" repeated CONSTANTLY, with crazed affection. Another +1 for Yuno's yandere logic: killing in a loop, for love. Utterly retarded twists, but Ms. Terrorist's shoujo parody woes = forgiving. Worth it for cute-scary stalker love-love.

Towa no Quon 3: Mugen no Renza
6 Movie 1 The Bones writers must've felt generous here: THREE characters get fleshed out via a connected dream. Quon isn't 100% goody-goody: he killed people in berserker mode, in the distant past. Mr. Cyborg suffered from fish-sis tragedy & is a fire-master.

6 TV 12 BICKERING BITCH-WUV = strong & amusing friendships. A+ until ep4. Then, farcical 1D characters such as a 10yo nun, shemale maid & virgin nympho appeared. A strong main love-tri trio (/masturbation), a non-wussy lead.. and bad anime failings. 6-7/10 fence.

Ao no Exorcist: Kuro no Iede
6 Special 1 The cat mascot visits the cast & has internal breakdown reactions as they either don't give him food or poison him. Only the tsundere showing her dere side to the cat with her baby voice (dub) = GLOL. And maybe Yukio lecturing the cat over his litter box.

6 TV 10 Vibrant stylisation & comedic but w/o plot: a pandering OTAKU 'VAMPIRE' goes in circles to revive MoeTits, for no reason. NO PLANNING! Shoddy world-building: demon world = Japan? Mildly entertaining fluff; NO end. Bell's sadistically SLUTTY TROLLING = +1.

Ao no Exorcist Movie

Zetman
6 TV 13 Zetman is anime gone wrong AND right. Tween edits & rushing = BAD! But manga is slow, and it ends strong: true justice tested as a DARK SUPERHERO is born; in the shadow of a 'white knight'. Apparently ends similar to manga--finished 2ys later! WHER RAPE!?

Tiger & Bunny Movie 1: The Beginning
6 Movie 1 An abridged version of the first few eps of T&B, with the addition of a TOTALLY NEW / POINTLESS roller-skating body swapper chase. It added NOTHING--the same as an overly long TV filler ep. Not helped by Bunny still being in his dickish development phase.

Nozoki Ana
6 OVA 1 It is what it is: a taste of the manga. Slightly more censored than its softcore original, and Emiru sounded a bit too young, but it captured the manga. Nothing terribly arousing got skipped. The beach-locker scene was more erotic due to motionXgrinding.

5 OVA 2 Not as enjoyable or polished as the movie. The first episode is about some ice-prison asteroid business (idc) and the other deals with organic, self-replicating killing machines (rly, idc.) Needed drunk Alfin instead of cackling, evil-eyed villains.

Sukeban Deka
5 OVA 2 Distinctive 70's shoujo style, with direction as if this 90's OVA was made back then. Delinquent girl vs evil bitches takedown premise has a 'females replaced males' shounen battle manga vibe. Short, fun, rapey & rushed. A yo-yo weapon is a no-no... yo.

Koukou Tekken-den Tough
5 OVA 3 Embodies practically everything that's wrong with typical shounen action titles, ranging from moves being shouted to the lead *somehow* making bad people good with his fists, but it's highly entertaining in a 'so bad, it's good!' kind of way.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2
5 TV 25 My #1 disappointment. BLATANT S1 COPYING, nonsensical twists, Gundam upgrades & increased boobs = R2. Purely padded fanservice until EP17's TRUE S1 continuation. L&S's realisation of foolishness + its karmic finale let it go out with a stab, at least...

.hack//G.U. Trilogy
5 Movie 1 Overly sentimental AtolixHaseo made me puke cheese. Until the end of the first game's content, it was great... but after that, non-stop lazy deus ex machina plot alterations. Only the Bleach + Naruto theft on show during the Ovan fight salvaged it.

Tears to Tiara
5 TV 26 Vague throughout about the TtT world specifics, leading to unexplained references and a constant supply of deus ex machina. Nearly the whole series could be described as filler, and the lead's simple-minded warrior harem highlighted the story's ero roots.
Add - More
Glass no Usagi
5 Movie 1 Glass Rabbit's problem is that it's been done before (x2, 2 decades ago!), with more of an impact. The idea of showing the horrors of WWII through the eyes of innocent JP children is outdated. Still, it IS a solid film that does its job well enough.

Anne no Nikki
5 Movie 1 As my fading memories suggested, Anne Frank is a story that's moving but offers little in the way of entertainment. Although I cared for Anne and understood the others, there was definitely room for more relationship development. Depressing.

Baccano! Specials
5 Special 3 Instead of tidying up the plot, or at least providing lots more IsaacxMiria laughs, an eccentric nutjob called Graham got thrown into the mix. What of EnnisxFiro? What happened to Dallas/Eve? What was the deal with Beriam/Huey?... Etc, etc. Disappointing.

Tetsuwan Birdy Decode
5 TV 13 When dealing with a threat to humanity, asking it nicely before kissing it is the way to go. Basic character types, an invincible heroine, a worthless hero, pure-pure love & cartoonish aliens weighed it down. Ended how it started; need S2 for progress.

Sekirei
5 TV 12 Seki tells men, "If you're a talentless plank, a moe harem craves your dick!" A ditz with tits, loli, glasses & 'Princess Tsundere' form his harem, and he gets to touch boobies. Plot? Busty babes fight & get naked. The tsundere & nips 6/10 vs. 5/10 logic.

Tytania
5 TV 26 Unfinished novels AND adaptation. I hoped for a less... grand LotGH. Paced as if 100+eps, w/ no anime-only end. Cool 4 dukes' COLOUR-CODED dynamic + an endearing MOE princess. But Tytania's Yang Wenli = SHALLOW! He just stumbles around w/ his JRPG party.

Michiko to Hatchin
5 TV 22 Monica Rial sounds DAYUM FINE black (/racist). 'shoujo cool' Bebop = UNCOOL. Michiko: Revy or Slutty? Episodic all-girl road trip w/o cohesion or a plot beyond 'FIND DEADBEAT!'. E19's budget + character 180ing = NO! Hana was endearingly bratty, at least.

Oval x Over
5 Movie 1 Oval pre-dates Redline by 4yrs, yet watched after, its existence feels negated by it. A guy & girl have backstories mid-race, and both want to beat the #1. Visually more cartoonish Wacky Races than Redline's anime coolness. Nice stylisation, all the same.

Megumi
5 ONA 1 THAT video quality + non-animation vs. a true story. Living in forced hope whilst dreading the inevitable, as the fate of a child remains forever obscure... Not being able to do anything about a kidnapping (unknown for YEARS!) would be soul-destroying.

Toradora!

Kara no Kyoukai Movie 4: Garan no Dou
5 Movie 1 Ep 2. As slow as the other eps dealing with Shiki's split-in-two mind, but it made her more understandable. Mikiya taking flowers to Shiki every day as she was in a coma for two years = stalkerish dedication. Touko came across as cool with her tough love.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009)

5 OVA 5 I never thought a hottie bathing with a 'squirrel' could be arousing. 1-2 amused me; the lead landing himself with a cat-girl and her laying wish-granting eggs. 3-4 had a 'slutty girl' theme and were decent. Only 5 was truly erotic. Genitals, where?

White Album
5 TV 13 Tries to hide that it's based on a smut-harem game with pretentious on-screen text & melancholy music. The lead is an emo good-for-nothing in a relationship with an idol. He bangs her manager over his anti-voicemail emoness. THAT'S IT! Zzzzzzz.

Hello Harinezumi: Satsui no Ryoubun

Kyoushoku Soukou Guyver (1989)

Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike
5 Movie 1 A game about nothing; a film about nothing. There was TONS of filler freedom. But Flynn just acted OOC (covering up murder?) & Yuri left the knights at random. Discardable chars investigated a castle, with game cameos--THE END! Sexy red-headed twins = +1.

Tetsuwan Birdy Decode: The Cipher
5 OVA 1 Showed Nakasugi's new life living & working at a farm. Also gave a lil' insight into how the nasty villain-with-a-bird from S1 came to be a comical maid. Beyond that? Nothing, really. A so-so in-between OVA... which, bizarrely, Funi made into the last ep.

Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari

5 Movie 1 Begins as a more upbeat tween spiritual successor to Marnie (self-conscious, relatable heroine). Then... 1D Madame Cock & Doctor Dee. It becomes a hollow attempt at being a boyXgirl Ghibli adventure. A nice looking & sounding but disappointing film.

Ijigen no Sekai El-Hazard
4 TV 13 It's a sign of badness when a series focuses on a jumbled mess that plays out in industrialized Russia, rather than El Hazard... and then ends without explanations by going, "It was all a dream! HOT SPRING TIME!!" Only fat + reverse-raped Jinnai saved it.

Shinpi no Sekai El-Hazard Season 2

4 TV 13 Harsh though 4/10 may be, AL lacked depth, originality & a fun-factor. Lacking subtly to the extent that the 'savior of orphans' was an obvious villain from ep1, and his switching between nasty and remorseful made little sense. Eye-candy aside, no worth.

3 OVA 1 The description is more informative than the OVA. There's a group looking for a fish, a guy with fish powers, his 'girlfriend', and a jealous mermaid. Beyond that, fuck knows. A few seconds of vague manga panels for info, bubble rotation for an ending.

Higashi no Eden Movie II: Paradise Lost
3 Movie 1 ULTIMATE ANTI-CLIMAX: "You all win for some reason, so forget!" Focused on unexplained mom abandonment. ALL the titular EotE did: a phone call. Takizawa made a laughable empty threat, left Moeblob for lulz.. and it 'ended'. Juiz remained ???. WHY EXIST!?

Kara no Kyoukai Movie 8: Shuushou
3 Special 1 An epilogue should add closure. KnK's didn't. 30 mins of static 'deep talk' (THIS ISN'T A FUCKING NOVEL!) about a never-before-mentioned third personality of Shiki = uggghhhhh. Why stalk Shiki for years if you aren't even going to get kissu!?

Uchuu Show e Youkoso
3 Movie 1 Patlabor 2 for kids, in terms of attention-keeping. THREE attempts to finish. Drama = a rabbit. Aliens = bizarrely shaped, cartoony fucks. And it's EASY to do a day's part-time work and get rich. And wtf @ "I wish I was as beautiful as a FUCKING DOG" bit.

Onigamiden
3 Movie 1 A '...What?' movie. Baldie Monk goes to the future for the past's savior(!?); retrieving a more juvenile Shinji Ikari. The Oni = nice guys with evil masks + giant spiders? No blood? Baldie Monk turns into a monster?... Princess Mononoke done BADLY.

Deadman Wonderland: Akai Knife Tsukai
3 OVA 1 UNNECESSARY. Didn't reveal why Senji was put in prison. So shiity no OVA2. Some brats & a woman Senji liked were killed by Arrogant 1D - Oh noes! Cheese overload: 'get beaten up; EMOTION WIN' fight. Why was an idiot with blood-knives a police officer!?

Naruto: Shippuuden Movie 5 - Blood Prison
3 Movie 1 The WORST Naruto movie. A Naruto prison 'drama'... What's truly awful is the last 30+mins. The Pandora's Box monster was bad enough, even without characters dying / not really / dying from fatal wounds! Also: THE PLOT MAKES NO SENSE! 1D FILLER CHARACTERS!

Towa no Quon 5: Souzetsu no Raifuku
3 Movie 1 ...Oooo, now it all makes sense: the gardener was a double-agent for SEEL... err, 'Ordo', the head of the cyborg unit was a mutant and Quon's brother lived as a crystal underneath an amusement park. lol @ the teleporting guy joining the OBVIOUS VILLAIN.

Nerawareta Gakuen
3 Movie 1 Psychic School Wars, where? If CONSTANT CG cherry blossoms (SICKENINGLY picturesque) didn't annoy, Dense Average + Childhood Tsundere +2 love quad did. Anime generica. Student council, mobile phone ban, time travel, beach = no structure + nonsensical.

Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito 2 - Hikisakareshi Yokuryuu
3 Movie 1 Like a bad fanfiction. If the CG repeats weren't bad enough, THAT GOLD CENTAUR!!! The JP trio from ep1 keep betraying; the heroine goes into combat and is USELESS; Lelouch makes a retcon cameo... Ugh. Rotating 3D camera + fast nunchuck mecha = WHER 2D!?

Koukaku Kidoutai Arise: Ghost in the Shell - Border:2 Ghost Whispers
3 Movie 1 'Batou of the Sleepless Eye' = Subtlety, where? Motoko must fight her future team to stop military secrets titled 'Pandora' (...) from being HAXXED. A badly written means to an end in order to get the group together. The new Motoko is Plain Yawnsome.

Touch: Miss Lonely Yesterday - Are kara, Kimi wa...
2 TV Special 1 3 years after Tatsuya FINALLY confessed to Minami, he hasn't made a move on her, and she's still sodding waiting! Even by the end of this woeful filler cash-in, NOTHING CHANGES; making it totally pointless. Poor Minami; forced to be a virgin forever~

Twin Signal: Family Game
2 OVA 3 Ugh. Brain-numbing stuff. I sat through the first episode, not caring much about the typical anime silliness involving scientists and robots unfolding before me, and I felt the same at the end. It was supposed to be funny--it was just verrrrrrry dumb.

Megazone 23
2 OVA 4 P1: Moron gets robo-bike and learns that he lives on a spaceship. Romance? He 'saves' Slut from boss-sex. The good? Big eyes + trainwrecking. 2-4 = BAAD. The art changed 100% & bikers beat the army. 3-4: Filler gamer/hacker shit. Inconsistent lulzcow.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei Specials
2 Special 3 If there was a point to these, it wasn't a sharp one. Submarines under the ground, traversing in surreal fashion, attempting to peep on ladies and save the world from an ice-eating octopus. I expected side-stories and got "ludicrous nonsense"...

Kaze Tachinu
2 Movie 1 Puk kyu, Miyazaki. Film, where? Lead characterised soley by glasses & PLANES + inconsequential events. THREE attempts to finish. lol@ Italian Mustache dreams + MONSTER NOISE earthquake. Characterisation: Wife dying, so ignore / talk planes.

Riding Bean
1 OVA 1 I watched this half-awake, and all I remember is the horrifically dubbed part where a characrter kicked something and said "I'M BEAN, BITCH" with a monotone voice. Probably not a true 1/10 but the hell if I'm confirming by re-watching! NO!

Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: Original Movie
1 Movie 1 WORST SEQUEL EVER! How NOT to make a movie continuation to a much loved classic. It wasn't even created by the same people, so treat it as the worst kind of fanfiction and avoid. DO.NOT.WATCH.

Seikai no Monshou Special
- TV Special 1 CotS is why Lafiel = <3, so cutting ANY of her early scenes hurts. Why no "child of love" differing culture talk? An ok adaptation of 2/3rds; most time on last part. Funi new 'evil stare' scene--Jinto not knowing how to remove the dye from Lafiel's hair.

Kara no Kyoukai Remix: Gate of Seventh Heaven
- Movie 1 A recap-cum-AMV. Even with fresh 1-6 memories, watching a 1hr professional AMV where important lines are included alongside Kaijura's music = enjoyable. Had I not re-watched 1-6, I would've got more out of it. The time spent on KnK 1 validates my score.

Black Lagoon Omake
- Special 7 Had read the manga before watching. Revy is everyone's dream psychotic magical girl. The gender-reversal ep, where Rock ran into the arms of Revy (/tit bounce), was the best of the bunch. If Revy had a dick, she'd have had her way with Rock--I'D 10/10 IT!

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom Picture Drama
- Special 9 Parodied Phantom's srs biz superbly. Zwei being threatened with death if he refused Urusei Yatsura 'lessons' & re-using the "It's all a dream" line = best. The Cal-Clau "Obama-san" cat-fight made me purr. Convinced me that Ein's made for stand-up comedy.

Tales of Symphonia The Animation: Tethe'alla-hen Specials
- Special 4 Amusing fourth wall breaking. Kratos being in anguish over not getting any lines and dropping to 3rd in the favourite character polls were the best parts... OH! And when he spammed his "Judgement!" line over and over, since that makes his fangirls squeal.

Sengoku Majin Goushougun (Movie)
- Movie 1 RECAP (in HD) on Blu-ray disc with 'The Time Etranger'. It's about a team of three (2 guys, 1girl) battling an evil world controlling organisation. Old skool POWER RANGERS mecha action. Characterisation surprisngly GRITTY, compared to OTT-silly narrative.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Lite
- ONA 6 Greg Ayers' ONLY OTHER MALE in existence was only club member not to get an ep. Nap Girl & Nibu vs Deko shorts = funi. Nap Girl's PoV = insightful. A water balloon BITCH WAR w/ shounen skillz is always welcome. Yuta STILL doesn't convince me as a weirdo..

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren Lite
- ONA 6 Chuunobu specials are fun, 3min or no. The best? Nibu vs Deko poker mind-games, ofc. They need their own series--FUCK YUTA/RIKKA! Typing of, Rikka called her teacher "Male...less!" & Yuta was remembered by his lil' sis during his SAO middle school days.
