| Air (TV) | Good | (+) Gorgeous and fluid animation, beautiful soundtrack, Misuzu is super moe ("Nyahaha" is something you'll never forget), moe, immersive and strong plot, OP is amazing both song and animation-wise (-) Gets bogged down by a severe lack of focus (in other words: is it really about Misuzu when it's focusing on others for more than half the series?), the "tear-jerker" parts were not that particularly grabbing to me (and there were many of them), boring at times IMO Enjoyment: [70/100] Quality: [93/100] Overall: (Not an average)[74/100] |

| Azumanga Daioh (TV) | Good | (+) Cute (Chiyo-chaaan!), funny (especially the rather unique imaginiation of some of the girls), large cast of unique and lovable characters (-) It's pretty much 26 episodes of short mini-stories and doesn't have a continuative storyline, there's no main male character other than the perverted Kimura-sensei (which means no ecchi or romance whatsoever...none at all...) Enjoyment: [73/100] Quality: [83/100] Overall:[74/100] |
| Battle Royale (live-action movie) | Decent | (+) Unique premise, a lot of bloody action and violence, exciting and keeps you on the edge of your chair, good acting (-) Apparently a highly condensed version of the original novel, ending was a cop out Enjoyment: [80/100] Quality: [65/100] Overall:[74/100] |
| BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (TV) | Good | (+) A unique and interesting plot, main lead who really has the motivation to get somewhere, interesting and...good soundtrack, relaxed voice acting (in a good way), animation is pretty good, tells a good bit of the manga story and cuts off at a good place (-) ENGRISH!

| Kaleido Star (TV) | ||
| Kaleido Star: New Wings Extra Stage (OAV) | ||
| Kanon (TV 1/2002) | Very good | (+) Very lovable characters, snow setting is wonderful, the story of Kanon ranks among some of the best I have ever seen, music is great, voice acting is extremely good, unpredictable, very cute at times and moving at other times (-) Animation and character designs were godawful, much of the visual novel story was omitted Enjoyment: [97/100] Quality: [76/100] Overall:[87/100] |
