ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka
7 TV 12 7.5 | The atmosphere and GOAT-tier soundtrack make up for both the whole coupe d'état thing not being the most interesting thing ever and the other territories not getting enough of a spotlight.

Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hachi Gakari
7 TV 12 7.5 | THIS is how you do dumb fun right, guys. MAL's hate for this genuinely baffles me (6.00??? Fucking seriously?), especially considering some of the tras-erm, series that they defend as being "harmless dumb fun".

Amaama to Inazuma
7 TV 12 7.0 | The episode structures are incredibly repetitive, and it definitely loses the luster that its first few episodes had by the end of it, but the series as a whole is still pleasant enough that this isn't too big of a problem IMO.

Amanchu!

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu
8 TV 22 8.0 | Holy shit, Seiji Kishi really IS an inconsistent director. Thankfully, he didn't screw up with this one and it's still easily one of the better action things around. It's not exactly another Humanity Has Declined, but at least it's still great.

Aria the Animation

Bakuon!!
6 TV 12 6.0 | -1 for the horrendous American Car Wash scene, and most of the few serious moments don't entirely work, but it's a surprisingly good parody of K-On! for the most part. Episode 11 is a fucking masterwork IMO for how off the rails it goes.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch
8 TV 25 8.5 | Its reputation for being an intelligent series is kind of overstated IMO, and it has a fair share of problems. But it's a legitimately VERY entertaining series a good amount of time thanks to it doing action well and the theatrics.
31
Add - More
Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2
8 TV 25 8.0 | Is Code Geass flawed? Hell yes. Is it power fantasy-esque at times? Yes. Are things like the occasional fanservice concerning? Yes. But it's still legitimately very entertaining enough to make for a great series IMO. And that ending...

Cowboy Bebop
9 TV 26 9.0 | The first half was somewhat of a mixed bag (a good one, but still mixed), with a mix of great episodes and mediocre ones IMO. But the second half throws out fantastic episode after fantastic episode, leading up to an absolutely stunning finale.
33
Add - More
Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira
8 Movie 1 8.5 | Basically an extended version of a great Bebop episode, with amazing cinematography to boot. And the convenience store scene is one of the series' best moments IMO. It does drag a bit at times, though.

Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Mirai-hen
6 TV 12 6.0 | Has some pretty cheap moments in the beginning, and the final episode's incredibly weak, though everything else up until then turns into something pretty damn good. Still a disappointing follow-up to Danganronpa 2, but it could be worse...
37
Add - More
Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen
4 TV 11 ...and, well, it does get worse. Enjoyable (if blatant) fan pandering at its best, trash at its worst. This should be the Fire Walk With Me of the series but it fails at doing so and becomes the Star Wars prequels instead. Fuck you, Seiji Kishi.

5 Movie 1 I'm all for things that are style over what people generally consider to be "substance", but the style here, while fine, isn't good enough to stop me from feeling that this is admittedly kind of empty. Probably the worst of Imaishi's work IMO.

Digimon Tamers
8 TV 51 8.0 | The first half of the Digital World arc isn't particularly interesting IMO, but after that it turns from a standard but entertaining action series into a surprisingly compelling psychological drama piece (even if it's not quite "Lain for kids").
50
Add - More
Digimon Tamers: Boukensha-tachi no Tatakai
5 Movie 1 Starts out good, but just feels useless by the end, and then it just... ends. And the drama with Minami and her dog doesn't work at all since she's barely around. And 6x4=30. And... why does the Digimon universe have it's own fucking BonziBuddy?
51
Add - More
Digimon Tamers: Bousou Digimon Tokkyuu
7 Movie 1 7.0 | Like Boukensha-tachi no Tatakai, I have to ask what the whole point of this is, but this is actually a pretty fun epilogue FWIW. Having the best OST in Tamers helps, too.
52

Doukyuusei (Movie)
7 Movie 1 7.5 | The drama doesn't entirely work IMO (particularly in the autumn segment that feels somewhat cliche), but it's nice when it does. Has occasionally stellar direction as well. Would be better if it was longer and a bit more fleshed out, though.

Evangelion Movie 2: Ha
8 Movie 1 8.0 | I absolutely understand why some despise this. But, to me, it's still fucking great at being a straight action film, and the ending is downright incredible IMO (even if it doesn't reach the heights that the series and EoE did).

Fullmetal Alchemist
7 TV 51 7.0 | Has a mostly underwhelming ending (and NOT because it doesn't follow the source), but for the most part it's an incredibly solid action series that does a lot right. Also superior to what I've seen of Brotherhood when it comes to Hughes and Tucker.

Higashi no Eden
8 TV 11 8.0 | Quick disclaimer: It's been a LONG while since I've last watched this, and this is the one series that I've had the most doubts about holding up. I'll probably rewatch this in the future, though I'll keep my rating as-is until then.

Houseki no Kuni
8 TV 12 8.0 | Not quite the Nier of anime like some have been claiming IMO, but it's pretty damn impressive. Also stands alongside Fireball in having what's by far the best CGI in TV anime around (and I'm someone who's usually anti-CGI in anime).

Hunter x Hunter
9 TV 62 9.5 | Has the superior version of the material this adapts when compared to 2011 IMO, and the filler surprisingly contributes to it. Don't ignore this just because 2011 is a "complete" or "proper" adaptation.
92

Hunter x Hunter (2011)
9 TV 148 9.0 | The palace invasion portion of the Chimera Ant arc is fucking perfect and is a highlight of animation in general IMO. And the preceding arcs are great too! If JoJo didn't exist, this would absolutely be the best battle shounen around IMO.
93

Hunter x Hunter: Original Video Animation

Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Nanika wo Suru Tame ni - Life Goes On.

Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen

Wonder (Movie)
6 Movie 1 6.5 | Admittedly, I probably just wasn't in the right mood for this one. Will definitely re-watch in the future.

10 TV 11 welp Masaaki Yuasa is now currently the best guy in the industry at the moment IMO

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
7 OVA 2 7.5 | Not as incredible as the source material, and the OP/ED-esque musical interludes don't really work IMO, but this still does a damn good job at capturing the quiet, atmospheric beauty that's present in Ashinano's work.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Quiet Country Cafe
8 OVA 2 8.0 | Still a good deal inferior to the source, though some scenes are still absolutely masterful. And at least the musical interludes are gone!

Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome
9 Movie 1 9.5 | Here comes Yuasa saving anime yet again. This is just wonderful (outside of one particular moment in the musical portion).

Yuri Kuma Arashi
9 TV 12 9.5 | I was skeptical about this at the beginning because the first few episodes were kind of underwhelming. But once it clicked, it became something absolutely beautiful. Shaba-da-doo.

Yuri Seijin Naoko-san
7 OVA 1 7.5 | Seven minutes of gleeful... well, I'm not sure if it's either insanity or stupidity, but I like it either way. #betterthanfatezero

Yuri Seijin Naoko-san (2012)
9 OVA 1 9.5 | As it turns out, Ufotable are ACTUALLY at their best when they're not putting so much effort into making people confuse fluid animation and CGI overload as overall great visuals despite generic art direction. In a weird way, this is just pure bliss.

Yuri!!! on Ice
8 TV 12 8.5 | I wish that more was done with Katsuki and Victor's relationship in the last few episodes, but everything else ended up being fantastic IMO. A very pleasant surprise after my not-so-great first impressions.

Yuru Yuri San☆Hai!
6 TV 12 6.5 | I dunno, this kind of felt a bit off in some ways despite still having great moments... and the lack of ancient invisibility spells didn't help (RIP in peace Akari~n).

Yuru Yuri♪♪
7 TV 12 7.5 | The best of the three seasons IMO. The finale in particular is just a wonderful piece of borderline insanity.

Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru
6 TV 12 6.0 | An alright Madoka-lite, with an interesting focus on disabilities (that should have been focused on more TBH) and parts of an amazing Keiichi Okabe/Keigo Hoashi OST. But it's also the epitome of Seiji Kishi being too damn inconsistent.

Yuyushiki
8 TV 12 8.0 | Works incredibly well due to a combination of how natural the dialogue feels thanks to it's spontaneity and how much heart it has at times.
