Seen all Rating Comment
5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Excellent Lovely, the second 'story' was my favorite part. Very melancholy. Favorite Shinkai movie, I think.
Air (TV) Decent The ending was surprisingly a letdown, and not as sad as was lead to think. Too weird to be sad, but still interesting and definitely melancholy.
Air (movie) Good
Air Gear (TV) Good Not nearly as good as the manga, and not so great in the animation area either, but still has the most needed of all shounen tropes, the ability to make you excited about it. :D Succeeds pretty well there, despite plot lackings and sometimes annoying characters. :p
Air Master (TV)
Akane Maniax (OAV)
Alien Nine (special) Good
Angelic Layer (TV)
(The) Animatrix (OAV)
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) Excellent
Another (TV) Excellent Holy fuckballs. While I figured out a couple of the twists ahead of time the tone and atmosphere were some of the best I've seen, and make the series one that keeps you gasping and mentally screaming obscenities at the characters (in a good way) from start to finish.
Aquatic Language (special) Very good
Arakawa Under the Bridge (TV)
Azumanga Daioh (TV)
Azumanga Daioh - The Very Short Movie
Baccano! (TV) Masterpiece Flippin' amazing!! I love this show, perfectly awesome in every sense of the word. <3
BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (TV)
Best Student Council (TV) Decent
Beyond (OAV)
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie)
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) Good
Blue Exorcist (TV)
Bottle Fairy (TV)
Buso Renkin (TV) 26/26 Oscillates between surprisingly good, embarassingly weird, and unmeaningly funny. I have NO idea what to rate it, but there it is. It's a good show that doesn't know how to be funny, and tries in the most awkward ways, not to mention confusing. 'Papillion' is obviously supposed to be comic relief but also a serious threat as a rival, and the combination doesn't work. You either can't take him seriously (EVER) or you have to the 'jokes' just come off as jarring. It's a great, original story struggling with it's own immaturity. (Though it has some genuinely well down comedy.)
Cardcaptor Sakura (TV) Masterpiece
Cardcaptor Sakura The Movie 2: The Sealed Card Excellent
Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie Very good
Case Closed Movie: The Time Bombed Skyscraper (movie 1)
Case Closed: Countdown to Heaven (movie 5)
Case Closed: The Fourteenth Target (movie 2)
Castle in the Sky (movie)
(The) Cat Returns (movie)
Cat Soup (OAV) Good
Chance Pop Session (TV) Decent This is a great 'what could have been' sort of show. I kept trying to find source material for this because it felt like there was enough undeveloped material that there MUST be a manga or something... But there's not. But nothing struck me about the series, the singing wasn't dynamic and the approach was so systematic... And everything is HEAVILY foreshadowed. The reveals don't come as any surprise, especially after the very first one. What's more since this show seems pretty directionless at first the lack of a clear MC bugged me too, though the unfolding of events themselves weren't bad.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices (movie)
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (TV)
Colorful (TV)
Cutie Honey (live-action movie)
A Detective Story (OAV)
Devil Hunter Yohko (OAV) Not really good Watching for the Anime Network's seventh birthday free-fest, interesting but not very good. Random fanservice and semi-okay dubbing-- the latter made me think of Sailor Moon alot. Short and essentially plotless, despite what they want you to think.
(The) Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (movie)
Dragon Ball (TV)
Durarara!! (TV) Excellent An amazingly plotted show with beautiful quality. A little slow at times, NEEDS a second season!
Excel Saga (TV) Finished! And BIZARRE. The last episode (26) was definitely a highlight, because it's whole point it to be as raunchy and violent and disgusting as they show couldn't be. Other than that it was hilarious and weird and strange and completely full of whimsy. Like School Rumble but less serious. Yes, that statement is true, believe it or not. (No, you can't, not until you've seen Excel.)
FLCL (OAV)
Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club (TV) Good CR 12/12
Fruits Basket (TV 1/2001)
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Very good
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) Excellent
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (OAV)
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) Excellent
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) The beginning is way too fast paced if you're coming in blind, this only really finds its legs when it gets to the part where it diverges from the original anime. From there on I'd say it's superior. Maybe the ultimate form would be FMA for the first part and Brotherhood for the second?
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa
Gakuen Alice (TV) Good
Galaxy High School (U.S. TV) So-so
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (TV)
Gauche the Cellist (movie)
(The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie)
Girl's High (TV) Very good
Gunbuster (OAV) Excellent
Gurren Lagann (TV) Masterpiece
.hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV)
Haré+Guu (TV)
Hell Girl (TV) Very good
Hikaru no Go (TV)
Hikaru No Go: New Year Special
Howl's Moving Castle (movie)
Humanity Has Declined (TV) Excellent
Hunter X Hunter (TV 1999) Excellent
Hunter X Hunter (OAV) Very good
Hunter X Hunter: G I Final (OAV) Excellent
Hunter X Hunter: Greed Island (OAV) Excellent
Hyakko (TV) Interesting, too short and essentially plotless, but that's fine for slice-of-life. Suzu FTW. :D For some reason only 7/13 are on CR, so that's all I've seen.
Initial D (TV)
INTERSTELLA 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (movie) Excellent
(The) Irresponsible Captain Tylor (TV) Very good Has some serious laugh out loud moments and handles it's satiric elements very well. Engaging.
K-ON! (TV) Excellent Extreme FUWA FUWA!
K-ON!! (TV 2)
Kamichu! (TV) Good Somehow the cuteness dropped off somewhere around the halfway point, and the animation adopted a looser and more mature (?) style at the same time. Not unenjoyably so, but the early episodes were the better ones.
KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple (TV)
Kiki's Delivery Service (movie)
Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You (TV)
Kino's Journey (TV)
Kino's Travels: Life Goes On (movie)
Kobato. (TV) As always very good, and interesting in that it felt slightly deviated from normal CLAMP fare, not much but a bit. Not much else to say except that I was reminded heavily of another show near the end... But all in all does a wonderful job of twisting emotions-- from incredulous giddiness at first and escalating into more heart-wrenching territory as the series goes on.
Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o - Yōkoso Tsugumi Ryōhe (TV) Not really good Seen on CR. Seems like it's best watched in groups of two episodes, the drama is way too much. It's like a slow paced harem without the real romance element. Confusing since they never explicitly tell what time it is and randomly jump around time-wise. Gets better as it goes on though, Sae-chan's is the best.
Love Hina (TV) Bad
Love Hina Spring Special - I Wish Your Dream
Love Hina X'mas Special - Silent Eve
Love*Com the Movie (live-action movie)
Lovely Complex (TV) Excellent Absolutely fantastic, though the animation quality is not great. One of my all time favorite series, and definitely my favorite romance series. A rom/com that is ACTUALLY funny, and that makes us like the main characters before shoving our faces in a WILL THEY/WON'T THEY??? type situation. Would buy if possible. Own entire manga. Reread it many times.
Lucky Star (TV) Excellent
Lucky Star OVA
Magic Knight Rayearth (TV)
Magical Play (ONA)
Make Up! Sailor Guardians (movie)
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV)
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya (ONA)
Millennium Actress (movie)
My Beautiful Girl Mari (Korean movie)
My Little Monster (TV)
NANA (TV) Good, esp for angsty moments. :p One of the few really fantastic drama and angst filled shows.
Naruto (TV)
Naruto (OAV)
Naruto Special: Battle at Hidden Falls. I Am the Hero! (OAV)
Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel (movie 2)
Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
Naruto: Akaki Yotsuba no Clover o Sagase (OAV)
Naruto: Konoha Sports Festival (movie)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV)
Nichijou - My Ordinary Life (TV) Excellent On the quirky/hilarious end of the Azumanga spectrum.
Nodame Cantabile (TV)
Now and Then, Here and There (TV) Good So hard to rate... Not enjoyable by a long shot, but not bad. The message was, overall, very positive and aside from some minor art issues I think they were able to convey it perfectly.
Occult Academy (TV) So-so Tries to juggle too many 'plots', none of which can stand on their own as they are. Ditto with thematic stuff, and some plot holes are present too. Not horrible, but not great.
Oh! Edo Rocket (TV) Very good A bizarre, but still good, mix of genres. Masterful, especially for how often it's done, breaking of the fourth wall.
One Piece (TV 1999) Masterpiece
One Piece Film Strong World (movie 10)
One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island (movie 6)
One Piece: Chinjō Shima no Chopper Ōkoku (movie 3)
One Piece: Dead End (movie 4)
One Piece: Django's Dance Carnival (movie)
One Piece: Episode of Chopper - The Miracle Winter Cherry Blossom (movie 9) Good A retelling of the time on Drum Island with some new aspects. Vivi isn't in the crew and Franky and Robin have joined, and Wapol now has an older brother thrown into the mix too. Altogether fairly interesting because the changes mix up the story a bit, whereas the Alabasta movie was a little boring because it was so similar to the original.
One Piece: Nejimaki Shima no Bōken (movie 2)
One Piece: The Curse of the Sacred Sword (movie 5)
One Piece: The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventure in Alabasta (movie 8) Good
Ouran High School Host Club (TV)
Outlaw Star (TV)
Paprika (movie)
Perfect Blue (movie)
Petite Princess Yucie (TV)
Pita-Ten (TV)
(The) Place Promised in Our Early Days (movie) Good Another interesting one, saw as part of World Shinkai day on crunchyroll. Also had that strange laid-back feel to it even as the bombs were going off- nonetheless enjoyable.
Pokémon (TV) Recently saw all of the first season (Johto League) and enjoyed it immensely as a throwback to me childhood. Not particularly interested in watching the rest- but this part was fun, at least.
Pokémon 3 - The Movie (movie 3)
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (movie)
(The) Prince of Tennis (TV)
(The) Prince of Tennis: A Day on Survival Mountain (OAV)
(The) Prince of Tennis: The National Tournament (OAV)
Princess Jellyfish (TV) Excellent
Princess Mononoke (movie)
Princess Tutu (TV) Excellent
Psychic Academy (ONA) Bad
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (TV) Masterpiece Absolutely amazing. Episode 10 is the best thing ever. Watched once, subbed,
Puni Puni Poemy (OAV)
Ramen Fighter Miki (TV) Very good
Read or Die (OAV) Very good
Redline (movie) Excellent
Revolutionary Girl Utena (TV) Masterpiece
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie Masterpiece
Rideback (TV) Good This show was great, but seemed confused about the type of show it wanted to be. The protagonist was similarly confused, her personality took way too long to properly solidify. Still worth watching.
Sailor Moon (TV)
Sailor Moon R (TV)
Sailor Moon R: The Movie
Sailor Moon S (TV)
Sailor Moon S: The Movie
Sailor Moon SuperS (TV)
Sailor Moon SuperS Plus - Ami's First Love (special)
Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie
Saki (TV) Decent Watched on CR, only 25 episodes and obviously needing a second season. Interesting because it manages to avoid most tropes and definitely the best in it's chosen category. :p Has promise but they need to follow through.
Samurai Champloo (TV)
School Rumble (TV)
School Rumble: 2nd Semester (TV)
Second Renaissance (OAV)
(The) Secret World of Arrietty (movie)
Shaman King (TV 2001)
Silver Spoon (TV) Excellent CR 11/11
Skip Beat! (TV) Excellent One of my favorite shows probably thanks to top-notch story and characters. Out of everything I've ever seen this NEEDS more season, NEEDS. I can only hope the time isn't past. The production wasn't the best, but the story and characters waaaay more than make up for any bits of visuals that you might not like. Plus they pull through when needed, on the gags and the really important places in the show. :D
Soul Eater (TV) Excellent Just watched the whole thing thanks to the Funi site and it was fantastic. The visuals and music were top notch, the plot sometimes flagged but it more than made up for it. The characters were good also, though I can't help but thing Maka stole a bit of the spotlight. :p All in all very good.
Spiral (TV)
Spirited Away (movie)
Squid Girl (TV) Good
Summer Wars (movie)
Suteki desu wa, Sakura-chan! Tomoyo no Cardcaptor Sakura Katsuyaku Video Nikki! (OAV)
Sweet Blue Flowers (TV) Very good
Sword Art Online (TV)
Tantei Gakuen Q (TV) Good A detective show that, while not as good as Conan, is still pretty fun. Seems more typically shounen then Conan, but that's fine too.
Tekkonkinkreet (movie)
Tennis no Ouji-sama: Zenkoku Taikai-hen Semifinal (OAV)
Tokyo Godfathers (movie) Excellent
Tokyo Marble Chocolate (OAV) Very good 2 episodes, 45 minutes each
Trigun (TV)
(The) Twelve Kingdoms (TV) Excellent
Ultra Maniac (TV)
(The) Vision of Escaflowne (TV) Very good
Voices of a Distant Star (OAV) Good Interesting, but weird. Saw on crunchyroll on World Shinkai Day. Like his other stuff it was somewhat sleepy, and the animation was a little weird, but it was still intesting. Made me feel like watching Gunbuster. :P
Wagnaria!! (TV) Very good
Witch Hunter Robin (TV)
Wolf's Rain (TV)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (TV 1/1998)
Yume Tsukai (TV) Decent
Zakuro (TV) 13/13 Pretty good, though I didn't like the obviousness of the match ups the characters were quite enjoyable. :3
