| Akira (movie) |
Decent |
Meh, interesting enough. Maybe not worth the hype that surrounds it though. I have not seen it in a really long time, I should probably see it again to see if I like it better the second time around. |
| Android Kikaider - The Animation (TV) |
Good |
A throwback to a simpler time for anime (visually), this show has alot of good qualities. It spins a good, if perhaps cliche, yarn about the trevails of a humanoid robot trying to live in a human world. |
| Animation Runner Kuromi (OAV) |
So-so |
I was expecting something better given the subject matter and the director. For some reason, the jokes just did not do it for me. |

| Battle Angel (OAV) |

A bloodfest with heart. |
| Berserk (TV 1997) |
Very good |
Yes, I think I love Berserk. I could go on for hours discussing the merits of this series, instead I will just say that it has great story, characters, and music. The animation is somewhat inferior, but not too bad. I want a second season! |
| (The) Big O (TV) |
Good |
A good philosophical fable. The symbology of the series is mostly straightforward and it's message about the meaning of free will in a predetermined world is also transparent despite the purposeful ambiguities. Yeah, it's also about robots hitting each other - really hard. |

| Cat Soup (OAV) |
|
How to rate something like this? It is so diferent than most anything else, that I am unable to even compare it with the other shows on this list. Cat Soup is just plain bizarre and disturbing. Perfect for the Salvador Dali fan. |
| Cowboy Bebop (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Superb in every way. This series is one of the most intelligent, stylish, and exciting shows around. Yokko Kano's jazzy soundtrack is a joy to hear and compliments the ambiance of Bebop perfectly. |
| Cowboy Bebop: The Movie |
Excellent |
Killer visuals, masterful soundtrack, and even a decent story; Cowboy Bebop the movie is two hours of anime goodness. Great movie for the Bebop fan. It may not be so great for people who have not seen the series. |
| Crest of the Stars (TV) |
Masterpiece |
This series takes plenty of time to introduce the main characters, but that developement pays off in the second half as the story shifts into high gear. I think it has the coolest ending sequence I have ever seen; Cowboy Bebop included. |
| Death Note (TV) |
|
|
| Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure (TV) |
Not really good |
Not really good, not really bad. It can't decide whether to be a silly EVA parady or a semi-serious Tenchi clone. Oh, and the ending credits is the worst piece of animation I have ever seen. |
| Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventures Special |
So-so |
|
| Escaflowne: The Movie |
Good |
A disappointment copmpared to the original. The animation is fairly nice and the visuals are pretty cool. The story, while significantly differing from the series, might be interesting. It just was too short giving the whole movie a rushed feeling. |
| Excel Saga (TV) |
Very good |
|
| FLCL (OAV) |
Not really good |
Am I the only one less than impressed by this Gainax title? Granted, the show has some awesome music and is pure eye-candy to behold. Still, it played like a glorified preteen fetish show. And by the way, it was not at all hard to understand. The zaniness just barely concealed a pretty straightforward plot. |

Great series to start out with, but somewhat degenerates by the end. After seeing this one, I decided to never again watch another Anno creation. It is just too frustrating to see a good premise derailed by incompetance and lack of vision. |

The first anime I ever saw, this OVA will always hold a special place in my heart. This show is a a total breakaway from Takahashi's usual work. It is decidedly more serious than her other stuff and makes for a good story. |

| Millennium Actress (movie) |
Masterpiece |
Wow, just wow. If you ever feel tired of the scores of meaningless drivel floating around the anime market, just match this film to restore your faith in the artform we all love. The movie is so good that word's fail me to describe it. The premise is simple, just a look at the life of a once famous but now secluded actress; but this simple premise is crafted with such skill by the great Satoshi Kon that it becomes a masterpiece. |

This was a very imaginative movie. Like all of Kon's films it takes a a simple premise and does it really well. Slasher movies are not really my thing, so I wouldn't call it a favorite. |
| Please Save My Earth (OAV) |
Very good |
I really enjoyed this series. It has what I would call a winsome charm about it. The only complaint would be the rushed ending. |

| Pom Poko (movie) |
Masterpiece |
OK, maybe other people might not like this movie that much. Perhaps I am just weird for loving this movie, but I can't help it. The environmentalist message is handled in a subtle enough manner that it does not become preachy, which is a good thing. There is so much humanity in this movie about talking tanuki. There is love, failure, and the resiliant will to survive in the face of adverse circumstances, excellent. |
| Porco Rosso (movie) |
Very good |
If this movie was handled by anyone but Miyazaki I am sure it would suck. The concept is just bizarre: wait, you ask, a pig in pre-WW2 Italy? WTF? So, I think the fact that he is a pig is a metaphor for what type of person he is, at least I like to think that the movie has some deeper context. Whatever the case, it still provides an entertaining couple of hours. |
| Princess Mononoke (movie) |
Masterpiece |
With the possible exception of The Royal Space Force this is the most supremely perfect movie ever made. I hear people like John Lasseter saying that Spirited Away is "Miyazaki's masterpiece" and I'm like "didn't you see PM?" Mononoke is his true masterwork. From the breathtaking animation to the deeply human characters to the engrossing plot, this movie is great on so many different levels. Every time I see it I find more to love. |

| Reign: The Conqueror (TV) |

This show had such potential. The story of Alexander the Great is a really interesting story, and some of the themes and plot elements were quite intriguing. Still, the series left alot to be desired. The character designs were simply atrocious and the mystical mumbo-jumbo was painful to watch. It is one anime that I would like to see redone by someone who could do it right. |

My other favorite movie. I put off viewing this one for a long time because it didn't seem all that exciting - I was soooo mistaken. This is one movie that you need to pay attention to if you hope to understand everything (multiple viewings help). The story starts out small, and starts building the characters all the time becoming more complex and adding multiple layers of meaning. The drama continues to build up through the conclusion which left me speechless and wanting to see more. The movie does one of the best jobs of world building that I have ever seen. Detail is everywhere, from the weird phones they use to the amazing planes to the bizarre vegas-esque city they inhabit. The world they create is different from Earth, yet uncannily similar. Also, some of the sequences from the movie are classics in their own right. I will never forget the eerie terror of the assasination attempt, or the blissful freedom of Shiro's first flight, and the launch sequence (especially the silent ignition) is one of the most enthralling scenes in any movie, ever. |

Some people said this movie was really funny, they were wrong. Every funny moment is fully contained within the preview, everything else is a waste of time. |

Slayers is a fun series, perhaps there is no deep philosophical implications or searching character profiles, just a wacky story. Just turn your mind off and enjoy! |

I never know Kon could make a funny movie, but apparently he can. I laughed so hard at this movie. At the same time Tokyo Godfathers is able to provide solid dramatic moments. Like at the end when they are on the roof and...well, just watch it to find out. |
