I try to add enlightening commentary, but let's face it:
I'm far from perfect.

Seen/Read All (public list)▲▼ | Rating▲▼ |
Twilight (movie) | Decent Brings back bad memories of my viola days..... Definitely gonna have to watch all of this (~1 hr.) just to make up my own mind. Just how good is it? Just how bad is it? From what I've seen so far, the animation is pretty good..... Uh, oh..... https://fast.animenewsnetwork.com/this-week-in-anime/2020-08-13/.162868 |
Twilight Q (OAV) | Very good It's a 2-part art-house film that lasts a total of 60 minutes. Your enjoyment will be in direct proportion to your tolerance of art-house films. Evidently there wasn't much money available for this project ― and it shows. Like I said, this is an art-house film..... |
Under the Dog (OAV) | Masterpiece Running ~30 minutes in length, this is a distillation of Claymore and Gunslinger Girl. |
Utawarerumono (TV) | Masterpiece
|
Utawarerumono: The False Faces (TV) | Excellent Even though the ending is open ended, there is still a fair amount of tragedy. |
Uta∽Kata (TV) | Excellent |
Uta∽Kata (OAV) | Excellent |
Vampire Hunter D (OAV) | Good (dub & sub) |
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (movie) | Excellent (dub), Masterpiece (sub) ↓ "Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust: The Story You Never Knew"| Bonsai Pop So I originally rated the dub at 8/11 (Good). Not everything is explained.I have rewatched it and I have changed my mind. I just loved the subtitled version.* And the OST wasn't half-bad at all!!! I particularly liked the ED. The dub had EDIT: *Now that I reflect back on it, I respectfully submit that that the 2 ending scenes subvert the expectations created by the film. †Upon reflection, I've changed my mind: The dub changed just enough that the actions of Meier Link and the villagers ─ and Charlotte's consequent feelings of guilt ─ are not properly explicated. ↔ |
Vampire in the Garden (ONA) | Excellent (dub & sub)
1. The OST; and 2. This is only 5 episodes long. Just take the time to see what you think of it. This series was just too damned short. This is an original intellectual property; maybe there just wasn't enough funding to give it the necessary length. Five ~25 Minute Episodes |
Vampire Knight (TV) | Decent (dub), Very good (sub) In the beginning, this series doesn't know if it wants to be a drama or a comedy. In my opinion, it would have done better to have lost the comedy. Also, aside from Vic Mignogna, the English dub was -- in my opinion -- quite jarring. |
Vampire Knight Guilty (TV) | Very good (dub), Masterpiece (sub) OK, so for very personal reasons it got to me. |
Vampire Princess Miyu (OAV) | Good |
Vampire Wars (OAV) | So-so |
Video Girl Ai (OAV) | Excellent This OAV just cries out to be remade into a 13-episode series. Reminder to self: Check out the manga..... |
