This show is a pretty well worth Owning.

Overall Rating 7/10
This one follows the path of three generations of the Mutsu Enmei warriors as the fight famous warriors across Japanese history.

The first two arcs are pretty solid; I would say. The third really drags on…. … … … … It really drags. I almost say once you get past the first two arcs you should skip the last one. It’s too bad the last arc is the longest… But, the Mutsu Enmei guys are pretty cool. The fights are interesting. I’m just not a fan of the last arc…

The show is about Tamaya Seikichi, a famous fireworks maker from Japanese history. A rather fictitious account with aliens, ninjas, and a plan to reach the moon with fireworks.

If I remember right, that was the plan… The animation style is a bit odd but don’t let that hold you back. The show has some solid comedy and quite the cast of unusual characters. The old guy in the wheelchair really has a funny surprise. This show seems to have always been available very cheap. Do yourself ... a favor and pick it up.

NO spoilers, the end was well done. When you saw where it was headed, you wondered how they would wrap it up. I liked the ending for this one.

This show basically only worth online viewing.

The show is something like killing these undead. These take something special to send the undead back to the grave basically

This one could have been a lot better, A LOT better. Most of it is the leading teenage girls coming to terms with the fights with monsters they have to fight for reasons not revealed until nearly the end of the show. I’m fine with the delay in answers. But the leads are such basket cases for sooo long it goes beyond my tolerance. The fights eventually get pretty ... cool. That why I say this show is worth online viewing…

In a shop that only appears to a certain few, the high schooler Watanuki finds out the price he’ll have to pay to get his wish granted.

It's a story about how the supernatural world of spirits and the unknown connect to the real world in ways most can not see. Watanuki aids the beautiful shop owner Yuuko to solve the problems of those that are mysteriously drawn to her shop. The mystery and supernatural make this an interesting show.

This series has some interesting and kind of mysterious ... opening and ending themes. I never skip them.

Ending 6/10
NO spoilers, the end was so-so. There are more seasons of the show than this. But this is the only season with an English dub… I still liked the end enough to say this season by itself is still a solid stand alone viewing.

I’d say a show Definitely worth Owning.
The Blu-ray release is the best way to own this great show.

Overall Rating 8/10
A notebook falls from the sky and this if found by a bored, high school genius Light Yagami. The rules written on the inside cover include the title of this review, "The human whose name is written in this note shall die."

It's a story about shinigami, death gods, and guy who believe's he's the one true judge, jury, and executioner. An amazing show that pits the clever and dangerous Light Yagami against the great and secretive detective "L". ... For a show that has this much death, there really isn't many fights to speak of. The battle of wit and cunning drive the show to a unique drama and intensity that really can't be missed.

The total show has 39 episodes. I cant say I know the exact episode but part way there is a major change. Ignore what you may have read online. The show completes at episode 39. It's still a solid show after this major event and of course it doesn't conclude until the end...

Theme Songs 8/10
This series has some great music, a good opening and ending. Fast paced, I didn’t skip them.
Theme Songs [2nd op & ed] 10/10
The 2nd opening & ending themes are excellent. The power and intensity of these songs make them some of the best themes across all anime.

Ending 8/10
NO spoilers, the total end was solid enough. It's about what you expect or the opposite. The end concluded what it should, nothing more and nothing less.

I’d say a show worth watching and Owning.

Overall Rating 3.5/5
A strong group of characters travel between many dimensions to gather the feathers of Sakura’s memories. This OVA has two parts that have time gaps between each other and season 2 of the TV series.

Rumiko Takahashi kind of did this with InuYasha and Ranma ½. This OVA picks up later in the manga than season 2 ended and kind of links into the TV shows with a couple flashbacks. It’s odd but I found it to work well enough to be a recommended buy and continuation.

This ... series continues to have solid music, good opening and ending. Mostly fast paced, I didn’t skip them.

Ending 3.5/5
NO spoilers, the ending is imperfect but better than the 2nd season of the TV series.

Overall Rating 3.5/5
A strong group of characters travel between many dimensions to gather the feathers of Sakura’s memories. It is very recommended you buy the OVA with this season. The OVA continues and leaves the show with a more complete ending.

This a tie-in show for most of studio Clamp’s works. Most of show’s characters are either directly referenced or remade. Watching all the other shows isn’t necessary but adds to the backgrounds a bit. xxxHolic season 1 before Tsubasa would be a plus though.
Anyhow, it’s a good adventure story. ... This part has Sakura more involved since she is closer to being complete again. The characters get stronger as you would expect

This season has another good opening and ending. Mostly fast paced, I didn’t skip them.

NO spoilers, the ending was… incomplete at best. The OVA does a better job. It’s still recommended.

Overall Rating 4/5
Definitely a show worth watching and owning.
Set in Feudal Japan the lead character, Yukiatsu Ryuudou, eventually joins a secret sub-government agency to fight with the power of Ayagami (to form weapons from true names).

Yukiatsu, age 39, is overall joined to a group of other oddly talented adults and a couple of teenagers. So if you want to watch a show that isn't about another Japanese high school, this is a good show to get started on. The group fights Youi (aka Ayakashi, Yokai, supernatural creatures from folklore). The group travels around protecting towns and whatnot while the main plot ... revolves around government change and the agency's ongoing usefulness.

Theme Songs 4/5
Two opening and two ending themes are all solid and interesting. All fairly fast paced and good, I never skipped them.

Ending 4/5 (conditional)
The TV ending finished the plot well enough.
The OVA has a more complete ending but a less happy ending, thus 3/5.

Overall
I can't agree with that average score this show has...

This show is episodic and has mainly just one character wandering alone. It also doesn't help that said one main character is practically lifeless.
What kind of life can you have without people around you? Ginko, the lead, can't be attached to anyone since he's wandering from village to village. Well, he has to. It's a plot point. That doesn't mean someone couldn't have been traveling with him...

The stories about the different mushi were somewhat interesting, I guess. In ten plus years of watching anime I haven't seen any show that mentions these odd creatures. ... It's too bad the mangaka couldn't weave them into a plot and give the plot at least a small group of connected characters...

Sound
theme song note, not a fan. I thought the theme songs were pretty terrible too. I like watching theme songs so a show without at least okay themes loses a 1-3 out of 10 just for that...
