3x3 Eyes (OAV) Very good
3x3 Eyes Seima Densetsu (OAV) Very good
Afro Samurai (TV) Decent The concept was novel (although expected sooner or later), but the plot was thin. The animation was nice too...and Samuel Jackson gains a rep point (from -2 to -1). Although, there were way too many cilches to mention, and I can't recommend this except to watch it only once just for the heck of it.
Agent Aika (OAV) Good the ecchi elements in this are a little exaggerated and predictable, but behind the panties there is a decent storyline
Air Master (TV) Very good some of the characters (renge, mina) were extremely annoying, but they allowed other characters besides Maki to develop. The fight scenes were pretty cool too. Some of the humor and character designs were just...odd, but funny nonetheless.
Akira (movie) one of the first anime I've ever seen, and it was a looong time ago too...
Amon Saga (OAV) Good kickin' it old school
Appleseed (movie)
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Excellent
Azumanga Daioh - The Very Short Movie Good wtf, haha
Basilisk (TV) Excellent I couldn't get into this anime at first, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The plot isn't entirely predictable, which is good. Also, there was a lot of blood, which is good. And...and that hairy guy was freaking annoying. Wtf.
Bastard!! (OAV) badass
Battle Arena Toshinden (OAV) So-so I want my money back
Beet the Vandel Buster (TV) Weak Okay, this was pretty bad. It shares A LOT in common with dbz. First, you have the Vandels, which look very similar to the badguy designs in dbz/gt (like cell, or the shenron guys at the end of GT)...they even have the same walking sound effects as cell. Second, lots of flashbacks and filler...lots. This anime could easily have been shortened in half w/o all the crap, plus the fact that the anime is extremely repetitive, in the way dbz was. I mean, they fight a guy, a stronger one is introduced at the episode where the previous guy was defeated, they fight the stronger one, rinse, repeat...etc. But the thing that really ticked me off was that they introduced Belltoze, built him up as being the main badguy...but don't do anything with it! The ending was so lame! I mean, the fight scenes towards the end seem forced and without any decent ideas, just repetition. Ugh. Honestly, I'd rather watch DBGT than this.
Black Cat (TV) Excellent
Black Lagoon (TV) Excellent
Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage (TV) Excellent
Blood+ (TV) Masterpiece holy crap
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) a great prelude to the series
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (TV) Excellent pipirupiru piru pipi ru pi, also, lololololol
Blue Submarine No.6 (OAV)
Burn Up Excess (TV)
Burn-Up Scramble (TV) ok, i guess
Chobits (TV) chiiiii
Comedy (OAV) Excellent interesting
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Excellent great OST
Cromartie High School (TV) Excellent freaking hilarious
Daphne in the Brilliant Blue (TV) Excellent One of the best anime I've seen in awhile
Demon City Shinjuku (OAV)
Demonbane (OAV) Decent not as much rape of Lovecraft's mythos; this is better than the anime.
Demonbane (TV) Decent Lovecraft is rolling in his grave...
Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (TV) Very good Yuri + Mecha = win.
Divergence Eve (TV) Good not as bad as I've heard from multiple different people. However, this is more of an ecchi with mecha elements than a mecha with some ecchi elements. There is a pretty good plot, but certain...things...detract from its quality. Did I mention tentacles? ...it's not hentai, tho, I swear.
Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy (special) a total waste
Dragon Ball Z (TV) Good
Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku (special)
Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge (movie 5)
Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug (movie 4)
Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler (movie 6) So-so
Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might (movie 3)
Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest (movie 2)
Dragon Half (OAV)
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece best opening episode ever
Elfen Lied (OAV) So-so pointless
Excel Saga (TV) Masterpiece hilarious
Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle (special)
Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture Good bouncy
Fate/stay night (TV) Masterpiece
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie)
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Very good
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) Good not as good as the others
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) Excellent lol
Galaxy Angel A (TV)
Galaxy Angel X (TV) Very good last season *sniff*
Grenadier (TV) Good did she just reload her gun with her...wait...yep.
Growlanser IV (OAV) Good Interesting, it would be nice to see this developed into a full anime
GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (TV) Excellent
Gun Frontier (TV) Good Cheesy. The phrase "Gun Frontier" appears way to many times per episode. And poor Sinunora...jeez. Was doing that to her every episode really necessary? The corruption of the towns was exaggerated to a point where it made the antagonists unconvincing. Still not a bad anime, however.
Gunbuster (OAV) Good incredibly simplistic, very much standard...Gunbuster is THE archetypal mecha. I wouldn't start here if wanting to check out some mecha anime, but this is recommended to those w/ a particular fascination for clumbering, huge robots.
Gungrave (TV) Masterpiece interesting plot
Gunslinger Girl (TV) So-so boring; doesn't go anywhere
GUNxSWORD (TV) Very good
.hack//GIFT (OAV) Excellent lol
.hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV) Very good

Hand Maid Mai (OAV)
Hand Maid May (TV)

Hikaru no Go (TV) Very good last 10 or so episodes piss me off
Hunter X Hunter (OAV)
Hunter X Hunter: G I Final (OAV)
Hunter X Hunter: Greed Island (OAV)
I''s Pure (OAV) Very good can't say I'm a fan of the whole romance genre, but this wasn't too bad; the ending was really sappy and entirely predictable
Ichi the Killer: Episode Zero (OAV) Decent a decent prelude to my all time favorite movie
Ichigo 100% (TV) Very good Doesn't add much to the whole romantic comedy anime genre, but it's a pretty solid work.
Ichigo 100% (special) Good Worth a watch if you've seen the series, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it as it poses no new or major revelation
Ichigo 100% (OAV) Very good More interesting episodes than the series
Ikki Tousen (TV) Weak an overly cliche ecchi fighting anime
Jing, King of Bandits: Seventh Heaven (OAV) Very good Watch if you liked the series, and there is an actual story that carries across episodes too! (OMG!)
Jing: King of Bandits (TV) Very good Amusing, interesting, and likeable characters. It's kind of annoying how there is no consistent plot across the series, though.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OAV) Dio owns you
Kiddy Grade (TV) Good
Kiki's Delivery Service (movie)
Kill Bill Chapter 3: The Origin of O-Ren (movie segment) Good
(The) King of Fighters: Another Day (ONA) Decent too short; not enough Iori...gimme moooore!!
Labyrinth of Flames (OAV)
Last Order Final Fantasy VII (OAV) only final fantasy fans need apply (of which i am not)
Legend of Duo (TV) Decent lots of melodrama. The humans are portrayed as zombies. The plot is uneven and has some parts that are really inappropriate (like the comic parts when Stefan tries to take over the school). Oh, and Vash the Stampede is in it.
Love Hina Spring Special - I Wish Your Dream
Lucky Star (TV) Excellent haha. The story of my life....kinda...well not really. A mandatory watch for any true anime fan.
Lunar Legend Tsukihime (TV) Excellent loved it
Magical Witch Punie-chan (OAV) Good Good for a laugh, kind of a Dokuro-chan ripoff...not quite as good.
Mahoromatic - Automatic Maiden (TV) Decent perverse and funny; good plot idea, but weak in delivery and build-up
Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful (TV) Very good wayyy improved over the 1st season w/ actual plotliness and a decent ending
Mars Daybreak (TV) Very good the filler in the middle kept this from an excellent, but it's highly recommended
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Excellent Asahina = heart
Mezzo (TV) Good kinda generic
Midori Days (TV) Very good only in anime could a series be made about a plot like this...and it was surprisingly good
Mobile Fighter G Gundam (TV) Excellent doesn't follow typical overly dramatic gundam formula...and thus is my favorite gundam series
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (TV) Good
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (OAV)
Mobile Suit SD Gundam's Counterattack (movie) Not really good short and stupid.
My-HiME (TV) Masterpiece great plot with lots of development
My-Otome (TV) Good nowhere near as good as Mai Hime
Naruto Special: Battle at Hidden Falls. I Am the Hero! (OAV)
Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel (movie 2) Good
Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow So-so
Naruto: Akaki Yotsuba no Clover o Sagase (OAV) unnecessary
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (movie)
Nighthead Genesis (TV) Masterpiece
Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective (TV) Decent
Ninja Scroll (movie) saw this too long ago to remember it
Noir (TV) Masterpiece great OST; series takes awhile to pick up
Outlaw Star (TV)
Peacemaker (TV) Excellent
Pet Shop of Horrors (TV) Very good not scary, creepy, or whatever...but a good watch
Pilot Candidate (OAV) probably better to watch w/ some knowledge a/b what the heck is going on
Please Teacher! (TV)
Please Teacher! (OAV)
Pokémon 2000 - The Movie (movie 2) Not really good
Pokémon 3 - The Movie (movie 3) Not really good
Pokémon 4Ever (movie 4) Bad
Pokémon Heroes - Latias & Latios (movie 5) Bad
Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys (movie 7) Awful
Pokémon: Jirachi Wish Maker (movie 6) Awful
Pokémon: The First Movie (movie 1) Not really good If there is any Pokemon movie to see, it is this one. Why? Because it's the first, and thus the one w/ the most thought put into it. Also, if you've seen this one, you get the idea of every subsequent movie. But what I don't get is how Ash is trying to become a Pokemon master, yet after saving the world as many times as there are movies, he still is not....a master? I mean, are there that many more people than Ash who have defeated such slim and legendary odds that by comparison, Ash is not yet a master? I mean, if there are that many "rare" pokemon pestering humanity so much that after saving the world 7 or so times, Ash is still a noob, he should just quit. Does anyone else see this lack of logic? How about this: Ash is finally declared a "Pookemon m4st3r" and thus can retreat w/ all his beloved friends to a house in the forest and stop making shoddy movies. End.
Pugyuru (TV) So-so quirky, random, moderately humerous
Puni Puni Poemy (OAV) lol
R.O.D -The TV- Very good Watch the ova first if possible, as it will be far more interesting to see how the different characters changed.
Ragnarok The Animation (TV) Very good .hack without the abstractions, and based on an actual game
RahXephon (TV) Excellent
Ramen Fighter Miki (TV) Good Another pointless anime with no consistent plot, but full of interesting characters and humor. For fans of Galaxy Angel and the like.
Ray (TV) Good creepy stuff here
Re: Cutie Honey (OAV)
Read or Die (OAV) Very good interesting
Rozen Maiden (TV) Very good
Rozen Maiden: Träumend (TV) Very good
Sadamitsu the Destroyer (TV) Very good
Sailor Moon (TV) I saw all the Sailor Moon series and their rotations (sigh...) as they were played new on Cartoon Network (back when Toonami was on after school and it didn't suck). I suppose in a way I owe it to this series partially for laying the foundation for my appreciation of anime, but I think I've seen enough of this to last me a lifetime.
Sailor Moon R (TV)
Sailor Moon S (TV)
Sailor Moon SuperS (TV)
Samurai 7 (TV) Excellent
Samurai Champloo (TV) Excellent
Samurai Deeper Kyo (TV) Good characters weren't all that interesting (they ARE interesting in their historical context, I just don't like the way they were portrayed here specifically, especially Nobunaga)
Scrapped Princess (TV) Good
She, The Ultimate Weapon (TV) Good zomg depressing!
Shuffle! (TV) Very good
Shura no Toki: Age of Chaos (TV) Masterpiece no fantasy superpowers, ecchi, or intense comedy, just a simple, down to earth samurai anime by which all others should be judged.
Sorcerer Hunters (TV) So-so I forced myself to finish this. The plot was weak, as were the character designs. Most of the episodes were filler and didn't really go anywhere. The same jokes were used time and time and time again. Sigh...
(The) SoulTaker (TV) Very good Very interesting use of colors and direction. Kinda leaves you hanging for the first few eps before you finally realize what is going on, but it's worth watching.
Steel Angel Kurumi (TV) Good kinda generic
Stellvia (TV) Decent
Street Fighter Alpha (OAV)
Street Fighter II V (TV) Good okay, so this is far from fitting within the Street Fighter canon, but yea, I liked it, being an overly zealous SF fan anyway.
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Very good
Sukeban Deka (OAV)
Tenbatsu Angel Rabbie (OAV) Good
Tenchi in Tokyo (TV)
Tenchi Universe (TV)
Tenjho Tenge (TV) Very good
Tenjho Tenge: Ultimate Fight (OAV)
Texhnolyze (TV) Excellent words to describe this anime: slow paced, depressing, violent, odd camera angles, symbolic, cool death scenes, intelligent, surreal (especially a few eps before the end)
Tide-Line Blue (TV) Good not bad
To Heart (TV) Good
ToHeart - Remember my memories (TV) not as good as the first one
Tokko (TV) Excellent this had a lively and interesting enough plot to warrant an excellent (you won't be bored with it, i swear), but the ending screams sequal or something, so more better be forthcoming!
Tokyo Underground (TV) Good Nothing groundbreaking, but not bad
Trigun (TV) Masterpiece love and peace!
Trinity Blood (TV) Excellent memorable, great character designs
Trouble Chocolate (TV) So-so goofy and pointless, humerous at times
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE the Movie: The Princess in the Birdcage Kingdom Good This is only slightly longer than an actual episode, so it's not really a movie. And really, it just seems like a normal episode from the series, just with some prettier animation. Recommended to those who liked the anime/manga.
Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (TV) Very good Season 1 was excellent, but it lost some of its flair in the second season. Also, the incredibly cliche jpop songs strewn almost arbitrarily and repeatedly at times in the middle of episodes did well to nullify any emotional effect later on, rather than facilitate it.
Utawarerumono (TV) Very good
Vandread (TV) Very good
Vandread: The Second Stage (TV) Excellent
Variable Geo (OAV) hmmmmm
Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer (OAV)
Witchblade (TV) Excellent Why can't all kids act as mature as Rihoko? Sigh...
Wrath of the Ninja - The Yotoden Movie
X (movie)
xxxHOLiC the Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream interesting
Yakitate!! Japan (TV) Excellent yay bread!
Zoids/ZERO (TV)
Zone of the Enders: Idolo (OAV)
