Masterpiece (edit.dub & sub) |
(When I first started this series I wasn't to thrilled, but after watching the whole thing I can easily say it is one of the best anime I have ever seen. The animation alone dominates even well done movies, it also has excellent CGI (a lot better than recent projects, and it was made in 1998!) P.S The animation rivals the famous End of Evangelion! That is definitely saying something! This is the ultimate must-see! Don't assume it is not that interesting by only watching the first few episodes, watch the whole thing! ) |

A great plot and story, topped off with good animation and maybe some humor = FMA. |
| GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (TV) |

I love this series, it is hilarious! The first intro is awesome and is one of my favorites from all the anime series I've seen (The first bleach intro is #1), the second intro isn't quit as good, but it is still well above average. The main character, Onizuka, is my all-time favorite anime character, I laughed my head off many times from watching the facial expressions he makes. This is probably the funniest anime I've seen that actually has a little plot (Unlike "cromartie highschool"). The only bad thing about this series is towards the end the animation quality goes down a tad (not a major decrease, but there is still some difference), and the scenarios that are created aren't as entertaining. The very end of the anime is very abrupt, but it is still a very good ending that doesn't leave you in the blank. I strongly recommend this anime if only for watching the crazy expressions of Onizuka. P.S I am very surprised that this show hasn't gotten more "publicity". |

Wow! This is probably the best anime drama I've seen! A very interesting story that makes you think, along with good animation and good music, makes this a great drama. Sometimes you need to take a break from those wild and crazy gun-totin' action anime and watch something like this. |

WOW!!! The story is very good, and the characters, even though they might seem typical, are very unique. The music and lots of the comedic scenes remind me of Great Teacher Onizuka, and that is definitely saying the comedy scenes are good. Oh, the animation is SUPERGREATCOOLFUNKYJAZZGREATNESS!!!!!!!! Probably the-best-animation-I-have-ever-seen, even when considering Cowboy Bebop and End of Eva. This is probably the most perfect anime of all time, there are not really ANY weak spots in all 14 episodes. You will always be entertained, there is always something going on in the scene, whether it be comedic voice acting or super-awesome animation. I cannot stress how much you need to see this anime, I am still in awe of it! This is probably my favorite anime, period. YOU MUUUUUUST WATCH THIS!!!! Edit: The ending song and animation for the episodes are soooo catchy and really well animated. The Beginning is also really catchy and and is one of the best animated and most well-done intros I have seen (I can't decide which intro I like better, Bleach 1st season or this intro). The music that plays during the next episode preview reminds me so much of the music that plays during Evangelion's episode preview. |

This is not your typical anime! Art and style just ooze out of this anime, and the animation of very consistent and well done. Also, the backgrounds for this series are so beautiful, the character design is superb, and also the characters don't have pink or green hair, just all natural colors!!! You do not want to miss this show, watch it! |

This is one of my favorite anime. The animation is beyond words, not in the good framerates, but in beautiful backgrounds and rich color. But there is still good animation (CGI also). The story is very interesting. This is the must-see of all anime. |
| Planetes (TV) |

This is a great anime, the story is really good and the animation is beautiful and well done. The japanese voice acting is also some of the best I have ever heard. The sound engineers outdid themselves with this series too. I wish there were more anime like this. |

(Wow, this is an amazing movie! This is my favorite Miyuzaki film so far. |
| Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal (OAV) |
Masterpiece |
A very beautiful anime. The animation is good, but the artwork and character design really make Trust and Betrayal stand out from ALL other anime. The soundtrack is very good and does what it is supposed to do, and that is to set a mood for the scene and the entire show, the soundtrack doesn't distract you, doesn't sound horrible, and is original. The story is very good and pulls you right in. The pace of the story is very steady, it doesn't stall for long periods or rush by you in a snap. This is what good anime should look like, unlike the tons of stupid chibi girls that possess the anime industry. |

Another masterpiece by Miyuzaki! The english dubs on the Miyuzaki films are really good, so I watch them in english. |
| Welcome to the NHK (TV) |

Gonzo really pulled off a good one with Welcome to the N.H.K. The animation and style of is really quit good and very interesting. Along with the good animation comes great BGM that really sets the mood, and very well engineered SFX. The intro song is very fitting for the series, and the animation and art is an eye pleasing experience. I was watching the intro for just about every episode until the last episode because of the catchy song and animation. The ending animations for N.H.K are very well done, the first ending is kind of funny, and humorous, as well as having another catchy and fun song that is befitting of the series. The second ending goes along with the more serious story of the second part of the twenty-four episodes, the song is slower paced and a little more lonely sounding. The animation is also slower and less comical. Okay, enough of the technical details, let me tell you about the story of this awesome anime! Satou is a shut-in twenty-one year old guy who has no life, he just sits in his apartment all day and night. The only time he goes out is when he needs essential items (Food, toiletries, etc...), and on Friday nights to a park close to his apartment. In Japan, people like Satou are called a "hikikomori", meaning a person that is anti-social and rarely goes outside. Satou is also unemployed, meaning that he depends on an "allowance" that his parents send him. And to top all of this off, Satou is a college drop-out! Satou then meets a girl that wants to cure him of his hikikomori ways. Satou goes through many hardships on his way to the end of his hikikomori, including love relationships, creating computer games, walking through crowds of people without freaking out, and many more. The plot is very well executed, just when you think something bad is done for, something else comes up. I was always excited about the next episode and how the story would twist and turn in that episode. This story accurately portrays many difficulties that people go through in their lives, and what the cause and effects are. One issue addressed is MMORPG games, and the addiction of them. The relationships of the main characters are interesting and will have you hoping things turn out good. The characters are very well done, all of them are very interesting and could easily exist in reality. All of the characters are interesting, there isn't really any character that seems shallow or doesn't belong. The mesh of animation, music, sound, story, and emotion are nearly perfect in the anime, I have not really watched an anime this good, a very very long time. Oh, this anime is very emotional, you will find yourself fired-up at times, sad at other times, and happy in those funny moments. The plot is not very predictable at all, I was guessing up till the end. The end is very climatic, and in a way, bitter-sweet. I wished the ending showed a little more about what happens in the future of Satou, though. Overall, SUPERBLY GREAT FREAKING AWESOME ANIME!!!!! This is such and underrated anime, it deserves a spot among the classics. Watch this anime if you consider yourself a true anime fan. This is probably now my favorite anime I have watched!!!!
P.S If you are addicted to online gaming, don't get outside very much at all, very much wish you had a girlfriend, are a computer nerd that doesn't get out much, or are going through a time in your life that is rather depressing (Due to one of the above, or something similar), I would suggest not watching this anime until you feel you are emotionally stable. Seriously. |
