Angel M Cazares's Anime

I am only listing here the series (2 movie series, 1 OVA and 10 ONA's) I have watched because that is the kind of anime that is the most important to me, and I enjoy the most. I have two separated lists for more anime movies, OVA's and specials.

8 Masterpiece, 16 Excellent, 111 Very good, 390 Good, 358 Decent, 203 So-so, 32 Not really good, 1 Weak

I took into account the quality in story building and telling, character development, originality/uniqueness, production values and conclusion when rating my watched anime. My personal enjoyment is also taken into account, but I also want my ratings to reflect as much as possible how much I would objectively recommend a particular anime.
