Saw this dubbed on TV a long time ago...I remember a few of the lines though. "Did you feel that? I just ripped out your optical nerve!" |
Grave of the Fireflies (movie) |
|
Need to see again before I rate it. |
Gunbuster (OAV) |
Good |
|
Gunbuster 2: Diebuster (OAV) |
Excellent |
One of the few sequels that, in my opinion, surpasses the original (although the second Patlabor movie comes to mind as well). This anime goes far, far over the top, but the surprisingly realistic characters, along with the amazing direction of Kazuya Tsurumaki, keep it grounded. |

Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade (movie) |
Masterpiece |
A solumn, subtle work, with beautiful animation and music. It's a slow, brooding tragedy, and it never veers into melodrama. |
Kill Bill Chapter 3: The Origin of O-Ren (movie segment) |
|
It was part of a movie. I really don't see a need to rate it. |

(The) Melody of Oblivion (TV) |
Decent |
|
Millennium Actress (movie) |
Masterpiece |
Satoshi Kon's finest work, a multi-layered story with both pathos and humor, in which neither feels forced. The characters which populate the film's world are humans, not archetypes. Truly like no other anime I have ever seen. |
My Neighbor Totoro (movie) |
Very good |

Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Despite its flaws, Anno's Evangelion remains a both a meaningful character study (of its many three dimensional characters) and a riveting drama. The direction and script writing are superb throughout, and the tension in the show's action sequences never feels artificial. |
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth (movie) |
Good |
Death (which is really all I'm rating here) is often referred to as worthless, a cash-in, or at worst, incomprehensible. The style in which Masayuki and Akio Satsukawa made this compilation movie is unique, to my knowledge. They took the Eva series (the first 24 episodes, at least) and edited it down to an hour. To do this, they removed the plot. Entirely. Events are now entirely out of sequence, and the organization revolves around portraits of each of the characters instead. I think that this was an interesting route, and thus gave it a higher score than many. |
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie) |
Masterpiece |
A disturbing, disgusting, and harsh display of human emotion, set against the backdrop of the apocalypse. Anno's direction communicates subtly, despite the spectacles portrayed so strikingly throughout, with fluid, detailed animation and uncanny, sometimes subversive use of music. |

Ouran High School Host Club (TV) |

|
Paprika (movie) |
Masterpiece |
Kon's surreal thriller, with its dazzling animation and unsettling imagery, is one of the most daring films I've seen in years. CG is used throughout, but without becoming distracting. It moves a little quickly, at times leaving the audience behind, but the characters feel more human each time I see the film. |
Paranoia Agent (TV) |
Masterpiece |
Can I always explain what's real and what's imagined in this TV series from director Satoshi Kon? No. I was never bored, though. The animation was some of the best I've seen in a TV series, and the character designs very distinctive and fitting. |

Princess Mononoke (movie) |
Masterpiece |
My favorite Miyazaki film, Princess Mononoke refrains from relating a didactic "message" and shows the complexities of the relationship between humans and nature. Additionally, this film contains the always high quality animation of Studio Ghibli, beautiful forest backgrounds, and Joe Hisaishi's best score to date. |
RahXephon (TV) |

Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honnêamise (movie) |
Masterpiece |
A spirit of youthful ambition gave birth to Studio GAINAX, and that spirit runs throughout this, their first work. An intricate alternate world lies background to two of anime's most realistically flawed leads. Every scene subtly works towards the film's awe-inspiring climax. |

Voices of a Distant Star (OAV) |
Masterpiece |
This short film by Makoto Shinkai could have easily been melodratic, sappy, and trite. However, Shinkai directs with youthful sincerity instead of pretension. This alone is worthy of the rating I have awarded, regardless of the astounding fact that Shinkai animated this work by himself! |
