(The) Big O (TV) Good I can see why it's been compared to the Batman Animated Series. The style and soundtrack are very similar. But I like the traditional anime styles better and also I'm not a big fan of giant mecha/robot anime (although there are exceptions). Still, it's not bad.
Bleach (TV) Masterpiece Wow this series brings back that feeling of awe I had when I was a child watching Saint Seiya. The character designs are excellent as well.
Cardcaptor Sakura (TV) Very good Lighthearted fluff, but very good fluff :)
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Masterpiece Very detailed rich world. Can't help but get immersed in it.
D.N.Angel (TV) Good A bit childish but still a joy to watch.
Death Note (TV) Masterpiece Top notch story, can't wait to see more!
Eureka Seven (TV)
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Very good A good package, but there's just something missing that I can't put my finger on.
Gunslinger Girl (TV) Good Watched a few episodes, nothing too exciting yet. Not bad either.
Hunter X Hunter (TV 1999) Excellent I really enjoyed watching this. I sat through 20 or so episodes of it on one weekend and it was a pure joy. (I watched a Chinese fansub of this). Good story and of course I have a soft spot for characters fighting through stages (i.e. Saint Seiya; Bleach; Fate/Stay Night).
Ikkyū-san (TV 1975)
Love Hina (TV) Weak I don't know why I watched this or why it's got such high praises. I really struggled through it. There's barely a plot, I don't find it funny or amusing. The English dub was horrible. etc. etc.
Saint Seiya (TV) Very good I enjoyed watching this immensely when I was a kid. Good times. However the old series doesn't quite hold up to the test of time. But some of the newer stuff is not bad. (Note: This fits in my own category of "action anime where the hero(s) must fight through one stage after another")
Spiral (TV) Very good Animation quality is so-so. But I like the story development so far.

Ah! My Goddess (TV) Good Charming, but bland at times.
Ah! My Goddess: The Movie Good Why did the English voice actors change? This was a major downer.
Appleseed (movie) Excellent Great action. But something's just not completely right with all the CG.
Black Lagoon (TV)
Blood+ (TV) Masterpiece My new favorite anime. Hits the perfect note in every single way for me. Loved all the characters, especially Hagi, Solomon, and Carl. I hope this gets released on dvd soon. This is the one show I will collect at any cost :)
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie)
Castle in the Sky (movie) Very good It's showing it's age, still a good story.
(The) Cat Returns (movie) Good I actually don't remember much of this movie except it wasn't bad.
Chobits (TV) Very good Chi is extremely cute. Sumomo is pretty amusing. An intriguing plot, but missing a certain excitement.
Elfen Lied (TV) Very good Talk about bloody! Horror, love, angst, more horror .... Good show but I don't think I can watch it again.
Ergo Proxy (TV) Excellent Dark. The setting reminds me of that Aeon Flux movie. Very stylish.
Fate/stay night (TV) Masterpiece Absolutely loved this one! Animation, plot, characters and action are all excellent. It's my type of show. My fave character? Archer
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (US CG movie) Excellent Heard bad reviews about this one. But I actually kinda liked it. The CGI was pretty good and the story as well.
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Very good Funny and exciting at times but not enough depth. Souske is cool though :)
Ghost in the Shell (movie) Excellent Very deep, memorable music. I need to watch it again.
Grave of the Fireflies (movie) Very good A truely depressing and sad film. Probably won't watch again.
Hana no Ko Lunlun (TV)
Hellsing (TV) Very good Was great in the beginning, but started to deteriorate some time afterwards. Good thing it was a shorter series.
Howl's Moving Castle (movie) Very good Good movie but not up to par as Spirited Away or Mononoke.
Kiki's Delivery Service (movie) Good I remember lots of skirts flapping in the wind :o)
Last Exile (TV) Excellent Awe-inspiring animation. Story not quite as good as the animation, especially towards the end. Oh why did *whatshisname* have to *youknowwhat*??!! :(
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (movie) Very good Entertaining. A bit old though.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Excellent This is a pretty fun and funny anime. I can't stop giggling at some points. Smooth animation, beautiful color coordination.
My Neighbor Totoro (movie) Excellent This movie puts a smile on my face. Really liked the main theme music too.
My-HiME (TV) Excellent Super powers, destinies, fate, angst, lots of action, what's not to like?! Oh wait, I didn't care much for Mikoto.
My-Otome (TV) Excellent I like it about the same as My-Hime, which means I really liked it a lot :)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie) Excellent Giant bugs and giant bug babies!!
Porco Rosso (movie) Excellent The protagonist is a pig!! Sort of. Very enjoyable.
Princess Mononoke (movie) Masterpiece The first Miyazaki film I ever saw. It was truly beautiful with a powerful story.
R.O.D -The TV- Excellent Lots of fun and excitement. Love the 3 paper sisters, my favorite is the eldest sister Michelle. Excellent music as well.
Read or Die (OAV) Excellent Who would've thought a nerdy bookworm can be a cool super agent that has the power to manipulate paper in whatever way she wants?? Yeah, only the creators of anime would :)
Samurai 7 (TV) Very good Good overall, but the clash (or unclash) between hi and low tech seemed somehow unnatural.
Spirited Away (movie) Masterpiece Very imaginative. Liked it very much.
Steamboy (movie) Good Overly long and drawn out.
Whisper of the Heart (movie) Masterpiece I'm giving this the highest rating possible even though it's not my favorite genre. This film has the magic of making me feel so good the whole way through.
Witch Hunter Robin (TV) Excellent So what is the difference between a witch and a craft-user anyway?
Wolf's Rain (TV) Excellent This is the anime that got me into my anime craze (I hadn't been interested in anime since watching some as a kid). I saw the first 2 episodes and was greatly impressed, and hence started looking for all kinds of anime to watch. Thank you Wolf's Rain!
