So yeah, if anyone wonders what shows are probably going to be worth their time, I would recommend 4.0 T.H.E.M's review site. However, since their list is very lengthy, I went ahead and organized the highest rated shows on their site into this list of 5 star and 4 star shows (not 3 stars or less because there's alot more shows with such a rating and they're mostly mediocre). A couple of times there are more than one reviews to a title, and in that case, I simply go with whichever score is the highest because I like to give shows the benefit of doubt. One more thing, I will update this list for as long as I can and whenever 4.0 T.H.E.M writes positive reviews on something.

Hello, at the moment, I have been making avatars with Gaia Online Dream Avatar Maker at tektek.org, which is really fun diversion, in my opinion! You, obviously, don't have to be a Gaia Online member, either, it's just for fun!

If you have made your own anime avatars that you're proud of already, could you please share them here? Since it'd be fun to see your own creations as well!

Plus, I wouldn't mind if somebody requested some more characters for me to make. It would be nice if the character was fairly well known (like Monkey D. Luffy as an example), especially if I've never seen the whole show before.

I may consider putting this in the forums in the future, instead, of my blog. You don't have to be one of my friends to post on my blog, though, yay!

Avatar(s) To Make in the Future List:

I often wonder what anime title would best define the word peculiar, one which has really strange adventures? The strangest lead characters? Weirdest baddies? Atmosphere? An odd show that hardly has any major mainstream appeal?

So here are some shows (non pure comedies) that I think are oddities:

Soul Taker (not Soul Eater)
Kure-nai
Alien Nine
Moyashimon
Natsu no Arashi!
Himitsu: Top Secret
Violinist of Hamelin (movie)
Spiral
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Rideback
St. Luminous High School
X'amd
King of Bandit Jing

Feel free to add some shows you think are strange in the comments section below.
