Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) Very good Very Funny, Very violent, and goofy as can be.

Burst Angel (TV) So-so Good show but the Music and overall feel of the show bored me.

Comic Party: Revolution (TV) Excellent Just as good as the first season, although the voices changed it wasnt a huge difference in most cases, story is good in a sense that it shows what happened beyond the first season, although it cut off the ending without telling you what happened at the end of the last episode.

Fate/stay night (TV) Excellent An excellent show with superb dubs and amazing visuals and sound.

Gantz (TV) Excellent An almost perfect blend of Violence, sex, and drama. the story evolved into alot of things and surprises came out of no where to only leave you asking for more. The Dubs were excellent and the animations were great, only flaw i say with this is the ending left you hanging and didnt really give a full conclusion.
Genshiken (TV) Very good Gives a more realistic view on the world of Otaku. Has some odd occurrences in the show and has some mediocre comedy. But the Dubbing is actually very good and it has some excellent music. Not too bad if your an otaku yourself.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society (movie) Excellent An excellent movie for any fan to enjoy, it helps if you know more about Ghost In the Shell but the movie works nicely by letting anyone just pick it up and watch it.

Hand Maid May (TV) Excellent Excellent and heart warming story, excellent music and animations. But it feels unfinished and was way too short.
Happy Lesson (TV) Excellent Although very short, the animations of the characters where very good, and the music added a nice touch. And with 1 guy and 5 women all being "Moms" it makes for some good comedy

Hatsukoi Limited (TV) Very good These are one of those shows that like to take your heart and twist it. It did everything well mainly because the love triangles were all deep. Dubs good, Art good, for the most part an all around good show.
Hellsing (TV) Excellent has a deep and well rounded story, the music went well with the dark background of the story, the Animations of the characters where good but they looked chunky and not fluid.

Kodomo no Jikan (TV) Very good Most people tend to avoid this anime because its loli but I watched it and was very impressed with it. The visuals were great and the music awesome. and overall the story was what really caught me. Very Good anime but not for the light hearted.

Midori Days (TV) Excellent A deep and passionate love story that grew with each episode, and the animations of the characters were good but could be better, the comedy was good as well but not as in depth with the comedy as the romance it self. Overall excellent anime
MoonPhase (TV) Excellent A very deep and passionate story. The dubs are surprisingly good and the story evolves well, although there are points in the story that are left untold.
My-HiME (TV) Excellent The story was very different but actually very good, the dubbing was ok at best, but in certain situations it works well with the characters, the story evolves at every turn and its actually very rewarding.

Saki (TV) Excellent Got better and better with every episode. Loved the OP and the ED music, as well as the general story line.
School Days (TV) Excellent Had excellent acting with great visuals, and the music captured the story very well. But I have never ever seen a more disturbing anime then this. I took my mind and juggled it over and over, the ending is completely unexpected and and even more disturbing then the rest of the show. I recommend as a good anime, but if your unstable in the mind DO NOT WATCH!
School Rumble (TV) Excellent a very good comedy romance anime with alot of interesting plot turns, it sticks very close to the manga in alot of scenes. And the drawings were very good and stayed true to the manga. Very good anime
School Rumble: 2nd Semester (TV) Excellent An excellent sequel to School Rumble season 1, but it leaves no closure and with a sequel in the works I have time to wait
Scrapped Princess (TV) Excellent A very deep and original story with an interesting and dark background. The Dubs are excellent and the music is very inviting, the story develops its self as a mystery for a while then turns it self into a action packed fight for your life, then into a sad and funny story.

She, The Ultimate Weapon (TV) Masterpiece One of the most touching and heart wrenching stories ive ever seen, this is a show with excellence beyond words.
Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed (TV) Excellent A very original story with some interested twists and turns, little risque at some points in the show, but it gives it good feel and really bring it to life. The music is very good and fit well with the scenes in question, and the voice acting was superb in the sense it matched the emotions near perfectly. Good show for adults, but as a young adult id avoid it due to its overall setting of the story.
Shuffle! (TV) Excellent Great show. It kind of flew around all over the place with the story but towards the end it started to get fired up, and fired up it did.
Someday's Dreamers (TV) Excellent The story was very slow paced and heartwarming. Dubbing was also kind of weak and the music was very slow and pleasing in some scenes. Not a show in any form for action lovers.
Sora no Manimani (TV) Excellent An excellent, down to earth, and overall sweet show. I hated the ending personally but I enjoyed the rest of the show.

Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) Very good Good animations and the dubs were ok, music was good and the story inviting, The episodes were short but it kept the story going along nicely. There isnt alot i would change, an overall a good anime if your into Comedy/Romance
Steel Angel Kurumi 2 (TV) Decent although it was called a Sequel to Steel Angel Kurumi, i would consider more of a spin off, i didnt see it continue the story in anyway. But it still stuck to the steel angel roots in someway and kept me interested.
Strawberry Eggs (TV) Excellent Great anime with alot of love and comedy thrown into the mix, But watching it as a man kind of made me feel inferior, but that just means the show did what it was meant to do, leave an impression. Great anime in almost all aspects.
Suzuka (TV) Not really good The Anime Adaptation of this manga is pethetic. The Story for the anime isnt as depth and has alot of plot holes. The Dubs are weak and the ending was terrible.
Sweet Blue Flowers (TV) Very good Got better in later episodes. In the end it was a great show. Even though it was awkward.
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki (OAV 3/2003) Very good A typical tenchi muyo anime, with a few different twists.
This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (TV) Very good A very deep and passionate story of love and triumph. It had an excellent story and the Dub was sub-par, but it kept me interested and the ending brought good closure.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (TV) Masterpiece One of the best shows of the season. The story is very heartwarming and sad and brought me to tears.
Toradora! (TV) Excellent A very excellent anime in my own view. I loved the voice acting, it put alot of feel into it, and the drawing were very good. Even though they did look rushed on some occasions and scenes. But most of all I loved the story. Two thumbs up.
True Tears (TV) Excellent Good artistic visuals, excellent music, and a great story to boot, a good romantic anime with plenty of twists and turns. And with some oddities in between. Excellent show for anyone.

UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie 2: December Nocturne (TV) Excellent An good sequel to season 1 with everything good about the 1st season included.
UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie 3: Bride of Celestial Souls' Day (OAV) Excellent Short, sweet, and leaves it wide open for a sequel.
Welcome to the NHK (TV) Masterpiece One of the best shows ive seen in a long time. Its down to earth, not completely out of this world, and surprisingly enough the dub was very good and well done. I found myself comparing myself to the main character quite a bit, even though he was a nut job.
