Lingering on one character&#8217;s unchanging expression for 5+ minutes is just not acceptable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">00:08<\/span>: An abstract little short that seems to exist just for the sake of existing. Art for the sake of art.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">1001 Nights<\/span>: An abstract story told solely through ephemeral arthouse-style visuals (the only dialog is the opening narration). Its main draws are the artwork and the music, so if you&#8217;re looking for something conventional it won&#8217;t be of much interest.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">3&#215;3 Eyes<\/span>: The first OVA series is remarkably similar to a battle shounen and pretty average. The sequel is quite a bit better, but still feels rather dated and I couldn&#8217;t really get into it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Accel World<\/span>: An interesting concept completely ruined with an insufferable main character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Action Heroine: Cheer Fruits<\/span>: Well-made enough if you don&#8217;t dislike super sentai.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hachi Gakari<\/span>: A super sentai series in the guise of a police series. If you happen to like the cheesiness of super sentai it&#8217;s entertaining enough.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aggressive Retsuko (Netflix)<\/span>: Dwells too long on some of the jokes compared to the short-episode version and the characters come off a bit more archetypal.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ai o Komete<\/span>: A remarkably well-made short that&#8217;s just too cheerful fro me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ai yori Aoshi<\/span>: A pseudo-harem that would&#8217;ve been far better had they not bothered to tack on the harem elements. You&#8217;ll have to truly enjoy the &#8216;under-one-roof&#8217; harem genre to get the most out of it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aikatsu! Idol Katsudou!<\/span>: An incredibly cheerful idol show, aimed at a younger audience, that occasionally goes overboard with the character personalities and game advertsiement aspects. The music and peformances are its strongest selling point.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aikatsu! Music Award: Minna de Shou o Moraccha Ima Show!<\/span>: A bit of award&#8217;s show parody that serves mainly to collect an assortment of different CG performances in one place.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">All Out!!<\/span>: Hits all the right sports-shounen notes, but just didn&#8217;t grab me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Altered Carbon: Resleeved<\/span>: If you liked the live-action show, you&#8217;ll probably hate this. Good animation however.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Amanchu!<\/span>: Nicely atmosphereic with an interesting comedic drawing style, but I do not like Hikari at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Anohana Movie<\/span>: A sequel to the TV series containing a large number of recap scenes. While well-made, it doesn&#8217;t really add anything to the show. It just feels extraneous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm<\/span>: In a completely unexpected twist, this show turns out to essentially be a sports shounen. It has no romance or harem aspects whatsoever. If you like sports shows definitely give it a try, just beware that the character personalities are kind of forced and some of them overlap.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Appleseed Alpha<\/span>: A perfectly decent popcorn movie. Doesn&#8217;t have anything going for it beyond action scenes though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arakawa Under the Bridge<\/span>: Too random in a weird way. If you really like bizarre absurdity placed alongside an otherwise grounded setting then this may be worth a look.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arknights [Reimei Zensou]<\/span>: Beautiful animation, but the characters they want you to sympathize with are idiots.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arion<\/span>: This is a pretty well-done movie featuring alternate versions of the Greek pantheon. Technical qualities aside though it&#8217;s not particularly interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asatte no Houkou<\/span>: While this has some solid relationship drama, the whole loli focus is sort of creepy and it&#8217;s annoying how Shouko&#8217;s transformation is treated.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ashita no Nadja<\/span>: A purestrain shoujo series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aura: Maryuuinkouga Saigo no Tatakai<\/span>: Take <em>Chuunibyou<\/em> and replace most of the comedy with depictions of classroom bullying and you&#8217;ll get something close to this movie. It&#8217;s not really all that pleasant to watch honestly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bananya<\/span>: An animateed children&#8217;s picturebook.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Basilisk<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure what I didn&#8217;t like about this exactly&#8230; it just wasn&#8217;t entertaining. Nothing really stands out as good or interesting making it sort of bad by default.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Beck<\/span>: This is a rather slow series and I didn&#8217;t like the school-life parts at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ben-Tou<\/span>: A parody of <em>Ikki Tousen<\/em>\/<em>Tenjou Tenge<\/em> in which high school students fight each other over half-priced food. Despite being a comedy, its plotline is delivered in a deadly serious manner and the combination (along with the setup itself) just didn&#8217;t work for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku<\/span>: Fantastic production values, but the content is all over the place.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei Bu Love!<\/span>: Starts out as a pretty solid comedy only to lose steam halfway through when it seems to become a bit more serious in modeling itself after a magical girl show. The complete lack of female characters is also an issue.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blade Runner: Black Lotus<\/span>: Overly reminiscent of <em>Kill Bill<\/em>. Wasn&#8217;t thrilled with the animation style either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boboboubo Boubobo<\/span>: Too much concentrated randomness. Would have been better as a short episode series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bocchi the Rock!<\/span>: Watching the protagonist&#8217;s struggles with social anxiety causes me physical pain.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boku dake ga Inai Machi<\/span>: A fairly well-made thriller. Just don&#8217;t go in expecting a mystery series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boku no Hero Academia<\/span>: A cookie-cutter battle shounen that hits those familiar beats with admirable fervor. Fans of the genre should be well-satisfied.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bokura ga Ita<\/span>: Cute, but too slow.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou<\/span>: The romance aspects are too earnest and the ecchi humor is too overwhelming.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Brave Story<\/span>: While I found the protagonist too childlike, the visuals are nice and it seems like it would be a good family movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cannon Busters<\/span>: An unfinished mix of amusing and offputting. Fans of western animation will likely get more out of it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Captain Earth<\/span>: While not bad, I just felt an overwhelming sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu while watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie<\/span>: Same complaint as the TV series. Nice animation though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card<\/span>: Pretty much the same as the the first movie, just with slightly more relationship development.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cardfight!! Vanguard<\/span>: Looks fine&#8230; for a kid&#8217;s show. Also I&#8217;m not too keen on the idea of watching card battle shows when I could instead actually be playing card battle games.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Carole &#038; Tuesday<\/span>: A great number of stereotypes combine here to produce something that may end up moving if you&#8217;re a fan of the featured music genres.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chihayafuru<\/span>: Turns out that the card game this series focuses on is remarkably uninteresting. The character interactions are pretty good though if you can get past that.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chiisana Oji-san<\/span>: A black &amp; white series of half-minute episodes focused on a girl who takes home and cares for a pocket-sized old man. If you want to see a miniature old man treated as a pet&#8230; well, that&#8217;s about the only reason I can think of to watch this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation<\/span>: This isn&#8217;t bad exactly, it&#8217;s just that it&#8217;s essentially a magical girl slice-of-life consisting mostly of cute girls doing cute things which tries to mix in serious drama&#8230; and it does not really succeed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Classicaloid<\/span>: The first twenty-five episodes have occasional flashes of brilliance; the second twenty-five are just tiresome.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Code:Realize ~Sousei no Himegimi~<\/span>: If you can look past the ridiculous plot developments this actually ends up decent.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Code-E<\/span>: Not bad, but I just didn&#8217;t like the protagonist&#8217;s timid nature.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou<\/span>: The first half is marred by pointless non-linearity, while the second is marred by too many episodic diversions. The entire thing is marred by an ill-fitting composition of disparate elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Corpse Party: Tortured Souls &#8211; Bougyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyou<\/span>: If you like gore for gore&#8217;s sake then this may be the series for you. Personally I&#8217;m not particularly fond of either that or horror movies in general, so I&#8217;m not even sure why I wanted to watch this in the first place.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cossette no Shouzou<\/span>: I like the way it ends quite a bit, so it&#8217;s unfortunate that most of the lead up to that point is rather dull.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Colorful (Movie)<\/span>: The style here is too realistic for me, I don&#8217;t watch Anime to see shows that would work perfectly well as live-action. The story is a little interesting though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Crazy for It<\/span>: While this was too arty\/abtract for me, a lot of work obviously went into making it and it&#8217;s constructed quite well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">D.Gray-man HALLOW<\/span>: Seems to start off well enough. I dropped the prequel halfway through though, and so couldn&#8217;t connect much to the characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Da Yu Hai Tang<\/span>: Great visuals with a Ghibli-like fairytale story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Death Note<\/span>: The concept of the series is pure brilliance\u2026 however\u2026 the characters are just <em>wrong<\/em> on so many levels. Their personalities are nothing resembling believable and are rarely consistent from episode to episode (or even minute to minute for that matter).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Densetsu Kyojin Ideon Hatsudou Hen<\/span>: Unless you really want to see where <em>Evangelion<\/em> got its inspiration from or happen to enjoy ancient animation, character design, and acting standards you would be best off steering far clear of this movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Devilman Lady<\/span>: Mostly episodic, this show takes far too long to develop.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dog Days&#8217;<\/span>: This second season has no driving narrative and is nothing but cheerful people having fun. A sickeningly-sweet cuteness overload.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dorohedoro<\/span>: As a graphically violent action-comedy with a fairly unique setting, this show will certainly have more than a few fans. I personally didn&#8217;t like either the CGI or (most of the) character deign.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue.<\/span>: Good if you can tolerate\/enjoy all the unnaturally cheerful supporting characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka IV: FAMILIA MYTH<\/span>: I can see why people whould enjoy this season, but Bell&#8217;s abject stupidity ended up too much for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eiga Chibi Maruko-chan: Italia kara Kita Shounen<\/span>: A bit too much on the family-friendly side for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eiga Koe no Katachi<\/span>: Solidly made story focused on bullying and the general troubles the handicapped have to deal with. Neither of which are topics I&#8217;m interested in.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na!<\/span>: By this point I think you&#8217;ll already know whether or not you&#8217;re a fan of Yuasa&#8217;s work. This one has a &#8216;children making Anime&#8217; theme to it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">El Cazador de la Bruja<\/span>: This is from the same company as <em>Madlax<\/em> and <em>Noir<\/em> and shares some of their themes and plotlines while having a slightly different animation style. There isn&#8217;t the same sense of mystery and discovery\/revelation as was present in <em>Noir\/<\/em><em>Madlax<\/em> however (thanks to the inclusion of a narrator), and the series has a far less serious tone. There wasn&#8217;t anything that really stood out as good and\/or interesting, although keeping the <em>Romeo\/Juliet<\/em> angle from the beginning of episode twenty-five might have salvaged it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Enen no Shouboutai<\/span>: The comedy style just flat-out didn&#8217;t work for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Escha &#038; Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi<\/span>: Too sweet, light-hearted, and slice-of-life-ish for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fantasia<\/span>: Good animation with average plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fantastic Children<\/span>: Horrendous character design coupled with a rather dull storytelling style makes this a really difficult series to watch even though the story itself is fantastic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya<\/span>: While the fifth and sixth episodes are fantastic, most of the rest is a mixture of entertaining and generic that just doesn&#8217;t quite gel. The <em>Undoukai de Dance!<\/em> OVA is just plain pointless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya Drei!!<\/span>: Action scenes are still great, ecchi scenes are still out of place, and the plot developments are utterly insane.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Flag<\/span>: A &#8216;found-footage&#8217; type of series centered on a war photographer that includes a transforming mecha-tank for&#8230; some reason. Aside from the mecha it&#8217;s extremely realistic, and that realism works against it since with all the current upheaval in the middle east you can watch the real-life version anytime you want.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Free! Eternal Summer<\/span>: Has a greater focus than its prequel on both being inspirational and swimming as a sport. This comes at the cost of the vast majority of its comedy, which is not a trade-off I&#8217;m at all fond of.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fune o Amu<\/span>: The mid-epsiode educational segments are bad and the romance elements are painful. Overall it is a serious story about publishing a dictionary though and may be worth a watch for that alone.\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Futari wa Precure<\/span>: Kind of cute. The action scenes are lackluster though and the rest is pretty standard afternoon magical girl fare.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fuyu no Sonata<\/span>: A Korean drama remade in Anime format. I did not like most of the character voices, though the content itself is [i]Kimi ga Nozomu Eien[\/i]-ish and not bad at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo<\/span>: I don&#8217;t know what it was exactly that stopped me from liking this series. I think it may have been the animation style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Garakuta no Machi<\/span>: A short movie set in a robot-heavy world that features a stray who eats other robots to extend itself. The attempt at giving a moral to the story at the end is both off-base and unwelcome, and I&#8217;m not fond of the the kid protagonist either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Macross Delta: Gekijou no Walk\u00fcre<\/span>: Aside from being slightly rushed at points it condenses the series into movie format quite well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Natsume Yuujinchou: Utsusemi ni Musubu<\/span>: For fans of the slower, more slice of life <em>Natsume<\/em> episodes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gen&#8217;ei o Kakeru Taiyou<\/span>: An otherwise average magical girl series that kills its antagonists instead of redeeming them and focuses on the moral quandaries thereof. While it&#8217;s nice to see a common genre done a bit differently, not quite enough of the genre&#8217;s stereotypical elements were changed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">GetBackers: Dakkan&#8217;ya<\/span>: Compared to Hamatora this just seems a bit dull. Which is something of an unfair comparison since this came out long before that did, but I saw that show first.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Getsuyoubi no Tawawa<\/span>: If you want to pretend to be a lonely salaryman who likes to stare at large breasts, well this show has you covered.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gin&#8217;iro no Kami no Agito<\/span>: The first half is very interesting. The second half, after Agito gains super powers, is similar to some horrific combination of <em>Akira<\/em> and <em>Princess Mononoke<\/em>. Beautiful animation however and I strongly suggest watching the breathtaking opening.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Girls und Panzer Gekijouban<\/span>: While the battles are quite good and the slice of life aspects are fine, the drama completely ruins it for me. The OVA is just a little school life bonus episode that occurs after the movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Go-Toubun no Hanayome<\/span>: A barrage of (well produced) romantic comedy tropes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Golden Kamuy<\/span>: While I found the first half watchable enough, the second gets extremely weird in a bad way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Great Pretender<\/span>: Technically impressive, but nothing in the first two arcs managed to grab me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Grimm Douwa: Kin no Tori<\/span>: A pretty stereotypical fairy tale with uncommonly high-quality animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Groove Adventure Rave<\/span>: A fun cartoony series that contains your standard sort of shounen drama. It&#8217;s a bit too much like a cartoon for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gundam Build Fighters<\/span>: A well-done battle shounen aimed at a younger audience. Die-hard <em>Gundam<\/em> fans might also get something out of the battle scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor<\/span>: This series is not bad, but I just couldn&#8217;t get into it. Vaguely reminded me of <em>Neon Head Genesis<\/em> and a bunch other series I no longer remember the names of.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haibane Renmei<\/span>: I don&#8217;t really like the slice of life genre. Add to that the bland character design and over-earnest character behavior and you get a series that, while not exactly \u2018bad&#8217;, is just not particularly interesting or relatable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W<\/span>: If you enjoyed the first season then you&#8217;ll likely enjoy this one as well. While I appreciated how they worked in the references to other shows, the general character behavior just becomes tiresome. The <em>Nyaruko-san F<\/em> OVA fits right in as an extra episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun<\/span>: This is a surprisingly funny series with some decently dramatic plot developments that isn&#8217;t as shounen ai\/yaoi-ish as it appears. The combat animation is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel though and there are a bunch of episodic episodes in the middle that feel a lot like filler.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hakumei to Mikochi<\/span>: Well made, but far too sedate.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hanasaku Iroha: Home Sweet Home<\/span>: Has a very large focus on kids and parent\/child relationships. I&#8217;m not fond of either of those.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hana wa Saku: Touhoku ni Saku<\/span>: Too saccharine.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Happy Sugar Life<\/span>: All the ecchi-focused side characters heavily detract from what&#8217;s otherwise an engaging central character drama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hataraku Saibou<\/span>: Good at what it does, but what it does is fairly shallow.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hayate no Gotoku!<\/span>: Wasn&#8217;t a fan of the whole \u2018indebted combat butler premise&#8217;; utterly despised Hayate&#8217;s parents. The second season seems a bit less manic than the first while the OVA is just your average fanservice entry.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Heartcatch Precure!<\/span>: Okayish action scenes, but everything else is pretty simplistic. It&#8217;s perfectly fine as an after-school cartoon though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hello Harinezumi: File 170 Satsui no Ryoubun<\/span>: If you&#8217;re looking for a realistic sort of detective case, this movie delivers just that. A little too slow for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hi no Tori<\/span>: Aside from the ridiculous character design there isn&#8217;t much wrong with this. It&#8217;s real ridiculous though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hi Score Girl<\/span>: While I like Ono&#8217;s personality, the protagonist is kind of annoying and I&#8217;m not really a fan of arcade games.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hidamari Sketch<\/span>: A laid-back comedy with an incredibly dry sense of humor. While amusing at points, it more often than not bored me to death.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hidan no Aria AA<\/span>: A schoolgirl action comedy with a yuri focus that&#8217;s similar to <em>Soul Eat Not!<\/em>. If you&#8217;re in the mood for something like that then this may end up watchable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Himouto! Umaru-chan<\/span>: Most of the comedy revolves around slacking-off and hidden personalities. If you&#8217;re a fan of those two topics you&#8217;ll probably enjoy this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hinako Note<\/span>: I really wasn&#8217;t in the mood for a slower &#8216;cute girls doing cute things&#8217; show at the time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu<\/span>: An amusing show which requires a high tolerance for social awkwardness.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hitorijime My Hero<\/span>: If you can get past the problematic setup and a bit of weirdness it ends up an engaging enough male-male romance series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hiyokoi<\/span>: A mini-romcom that&#8217;s a little too cute for its own good. Well-paced though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Honzuki no Gekokujou<\/span>: Appears to be one of the higher quality reincarnation isekais&#8230; so long as you don&#8217;t mind child protagonists.\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hoshi o Ou Kodomo<\/span>: A curious movie about a young girl who chases a mysterious boy she just met into the underworld\/afterlife and the man who follows her there for his own reasons. Technically speaking there&#8217;s nothing wrong with it, but it just didn&#8217;t work for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hoshizora Kiseki<\/span>: A short, strange, movie about the romance that develops between a girl who chases meteorites and a boy who lives his entire life in a space suit. While not exactly bad, it&#8217;s not quite good either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hotarubi no Mori e<\/span>: Slowly builds up to one result only to have another result occur seemingly at random.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Houseki no Kuni<\/span>: While I like the characters a lot, the visuals are often a bit strange and events are kind of forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ichigo Marshmallow<\/span>: If you can put up with or enjoy Miu&#8217;s antics, then this is an amusing slice of life comedy. I hated her.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Idol Jihen<\/span>: A fluffy show focused on thwarting corrupt politicians through the power of good cheer and exuberance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls<\/span>: Focuses more on the girls than <em>The Idolm@ster<\/em> does, but still centers too much on the business itself for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ikoku Meiro no Croisee The Animation<\/span>: If you like both ambling slice of life and &#8216;cute girl does everyday things&#8217; shows then this will probably be an enjoyable experience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.<\/span>: While it has its moments, this particular brand of drama-laced romantic comedy just didn&#8217;t appeal to me all that much.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Infini-T Force<\/span>: If you&#8217;re looking for CGI action this has you covered. Where it&#8217;s lacking is in the character and story department.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Inuyashiki<\/span>: A decent idea, but something about the event progression didn&#8217;t work and the ending is a bit of a punt.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Isekai Izakaya: Koto Aitheria no Izakaya Nobu<\/span>: Decent if you like food\/cooking.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Isshuukan Friends.<\/span>: There&#8217;s a cloying sweetness infusing this series that just did not appeal to me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Itazura Majo to Nemuranai Machi<\/span>: Competent action and comedy, but terrible storytelling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae<\/span>: The series feels as though it became a parody of itself.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jigokuraku<\/span>: A standard battle shounen with a higher than usual amount of gore and bare (nippleless) breasts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jikkenhin Kazoku: Creatures Family Days<\/span>: The dramatic aspects unfortunately didn&#8217;t work at all for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jitsu wa Watashi wa<\/span>: A cute romantic comedy that unfortunately has rather offputting character designs.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (2012)<\/span>: GAR isn&#8217;t really my thing for one, and for another this resembles a manga far more than an Anime.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu<\/span>: No longer recall the reasoning. I suspect it was too slice-of-lifey.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Junketsu no Maria<\/span>: If you can handle the protagonist&#8217;s worldview, this is a very well put together show with high production values. The ending is both abrupt and highly questionable though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juuni Kokuki<\/span>: This started out brilliant. The entire first arc that deals with Youko&#8217;s story is very well done. Once that&#8217;s tied up and the series starts drifting to other characters halfway through\u2026 it just falls apart, becoming hopelessly bogged down by a focus on uninteresting characters who got essentially no mention up to that point.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juusenki L-Gaim<\/span>: Extremely cartoony, but surprisingly well done if that&#8217;s the sort of thing you&#8217;re looking for.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaiba<\/span>: While the storyline is vaguely interesting this series tries far too hard to be arty with its visual style. There&#8217;s also a certain wrongness with the character behavior that ends up disconcerting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san<\/span>: Highly dependant on sentai references for its humor, and I&#8217;m not a fan of sentai shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaikan Phrase<\/span>: Currently not really worth the effort to get into since it seems to only be available in questionable VHS quality. Feels a little like a gender-swapped <em>White Album<\/em> though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kakkou no Iinazuke<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a fan of <em>Nisekoi<\/em>, then feel free to give this a shot.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaleido Star<\/span>: Too obviously targeted toward a young audience; the comedy segments trend toward the nonsensical while the serious parts come out of nowhere and are resolved in the most simplistic manner possible. Its target demographic can probably easily forgive those issues though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kamen no Maid Guy<\/span>: Too heavy on underwear\/breast jokes for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kanamemo<\/span>: A cute\/amusing series that would have been much better without the lolicon character and weird drama bits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows<\/span>: Personally I liked the OVA better. This is a little too ambling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kami-sama Hajimemashita<\/span>: The comedy is perfect. Unfortunately the serious and romantic aspects did not sit well with me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kamigami no Asobi<\/span>: Has a nice comedic streak and plays around with some shoujo tropes, but you really have to be a fan of those tropes to enjoy it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san<\/span>: Not all that fond of the male lead&#8217;s personality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kasumin<\/span>: While I like the protagonist, I don&#8217;t like how all the work seems to continually get dumped on her. The school-life aspects are also a bit of an issue.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaze no Matasaburou (2016)<\/span>: A simple fairy tale story. Perfectly fine if you&#8217;re looking for a quick family-friendly watch.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kemono no Souja Erin<\/span>: An otherwise fantastic series that unfortunately (and constantly) beats you over the head with ~every life is precious~ moralizing while containing far too many exposition-related recaps.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kenka Banchou Otome: Girl Beats Boys<\/span>: The technical aspects of this show end up far more interesting than its actual content.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kick\u2661Heart<\/span>: I hate the art style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080: Pocket no Naka no Sensou<\/span>: A fairly good ground-level look at the constant fighting in the <em>Gundam<\/em> universe that did not appeal to me due to one of its two protagonists being a child. Interesting ending as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a huge <em>Gundam<\/em> fan (or, alternatively, haven&#8217;t seen many <em>Gundam<\/em> series) then this will probably end up a decent enough watch. While I found the first half okay, the second half came across like a tacked-on afterthought.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimetsu no Yaiba<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a huge battle shounen fan you&#8217;ll probably enjoy it, particularly since it has better animation than most.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimi no Iru Machi<\/span>: Didn&#8217;t like the artstyle\/animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kizumonogatari<\/span>: Only the first movie really feels like <em>Monogatari<\/em>. The other two are far too action\/drama-centric.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koi Sento<\/span>: A little too cartoonish for my taste. Didn&#8217;t like the old woman at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koihime Musou<\/span>: The first two seasons of this series are good enough for what they are (a kid&#8217;s show with sex jokes)\u2026 I&#8217;m just not a huge fan of what they are. The third season however was actually decent and can be found near the end of the \u2018liked&#8217; list.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Konbini Kareshi<\/span>: Too mundane\/realistic for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Healer, Mendokusai<\/span>: Not a huge fan of stand-up comedy in general, and the manzai style used here doesn&#8217;t do anything for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o!<\/span>: The protagonist is pretty good here and there are a number of laugh-out-loud bits scattered around. Unfortunately there&#8217;s also a large number of awkward\/annoying segments, resulting in an extremely uneven viewing experience. The OVA is your basic ecchi-heavy filler epsiode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koukyuu no Karasu<\/span>: Seems fine as a &#8216;forbidden&#8217; romance, but I was looking for a more dectective-focused series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koutetsushin Jeeg<\/span>: Lots of super robot action. Not much else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kumamiko: Girl Meets Bear<\/span>: Focused as this is on trying to squeeze laughs out of personal abuse, it often ends up too awkward\/uncomfortable to fully enjoy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kurage no Shokudou<\/span>: This is basically just the prologue for the source material. It&#8217;s certainly well-made though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">LA TORTUE ROUGE<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a fan of Ghibli works and\/or metaphorical fables you&#8217;ll probably find this movie quite interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lance N&#8217; Masques<\/span>: An utterly ridiculous series that may be of value if you want to laugh at how bad something is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File<\/span>: The protagonist is a ton of fun, but it&#8217;s clearly aimed at a very young audience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Little Witch Academia<\/span>: Great animation with little else to recommend it. If you liked <em>Mahou Shoujotai<\/em> you&#8217;ll probably enjoy it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Liz to Aoi Tori<\/span>: Insanely slow pacing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Love Live! The School Idol Movie<\/span>: The first half has the girls in New York, while the second half has them back in Japan confronting their newfound fame. It&#8217;s about as by-the-numbers as you can get.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">LOVE STAGE!!<\/span>: An okay male<->male romance if you&#8217;re a fan of the comedy style and\/or character design.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magi: The Kingdom of Magic<\/span>: The beginning and end are both kind of meh while the middle has some nice scenes scattered about.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto<\/span>: The heavy focus on the theme of restricting certain people&#8217;s freedoms is unpalatable and doesn&#8217;t mix well with the otherwise carefree mood.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Tsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito<\/span>: The flashback portions came across as a bit too cookie-cutter.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Majimoji Rurumo<\/span>: Wrong kind of ecchi. Don&#8217;t like some of the character design either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene<\/span>: A family-friendly movie featuring a fantasy-world witch who gets stuck in the real world. The visuals are nice but everything else is too&#8230; well&#8230; family-friendly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Makai Toshi Shinjuku<\/span>: Great animation; generic B-movie developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Manaria Friends<\/span>: A well-made mix of many different attributes that may or may not be welcome together.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maria-sama ga Miteru<\/span>: Very slow and leans toward a more realistic style. It&#8217;s certainly not bad, just targeted toward a very specific audience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mars Red<\/span>: While this has top-notch atmosphere and composition, I feel it leans far too heavily on the action elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maze Bakunetsu Jikuu (TV Series)<\/span>: If you can put up with the character personalities and more outlandish plot elements the show can become a fairly entertaining time-waster.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Meitantei Conan<\/span>: Too episodic and cartoony.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Miira no Kaikata<\/span>: Cuteness overload.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Millennium Actress<\/span>: Good story. The comedy style and weird self-inserts made it nearly unwatchable though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu<\/span>: I didn&#8217;t like how it started turning into <em>Long Riders!<\/em> toward the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mind Game<\/span>: While overflowing with artistic value and imagination, it&#8217;s kinda just a haphazard collection of random ideas filling out a vaguely interesting framework.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mirai Keisatsu Urashiman<\/span>: Very cartoony, reminds me a bit of <em>Inspector Gadget<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Miyanishi Tatsuya Gekijou: Omae Umasou Da na<\/span>: Set up like a picture book, this is an okay series if you&#8217;re looking for something to watch with your young child\/children. If you don&#8217;t have kids there&#8217;s no point in bothering with it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mob Psycho 100<\/span>: Fantastic animation and solid comedy, along with an acquired taste art style and pretty mundane focus on middleschool self-image issues.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Fighter G Gundam<\/span>: Too much ridiculousness for me. It&#8217;s more like a particularly over-the-top Super Robot show than a <em>Gundam<\/em> show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Momo e no Tegami<\/span>: Curiously, this reminds me of <em>Monsters Inc.<\/em> a bit. It&#8217;s a family-friendly Ghibli type of thing, which is not a direction my tastes have ever run.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monster<\/span>: Geared toward an older audience it was just a bit too boring. Sort-of felt like I was watching <em>Murder She Wrote.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On<\/span>: Decent enough if you&#8217;re in the market for an afternoon cartoon.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Moyashimon Returns<\/span>: Very similar in structure to the first season, but the focus on the arranged marriage and familial duty just did not agree with me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">My Life<\/span>: A short animation showing the future life of a young girl as it unfolds before eyes while filling out a career sheet. There&#8217;s nothing particularly notable about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mutsu Enmei Ryuu Gaiden: Shura no Toki<\/span>: An action series whose episodic situations are laughable. Literally. I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing at how ridiculous it was. It&#8217;s action action scenes are extremely well done though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nami yo Kiitekure<\/span>: Didn&#8217;t seem badly made&#8230; just overly strange.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanatsu-iro Drops: First love that encompasses you<\/span>: Sumomo is a terrible choice of main heroine. Everything else works well though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Natsu-iro Kiseki<\/span>: This looks a bit like <em>Iroha<\/em> and feels like <em>K-On!!<\/em> with a bunch of drama and \u2018friendship is magic&#8217; lessons thrown on top.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Natsume Yuujinchou: Itsuka Yuki no Hi ni<\/span>: Identical to the slower more sedate episodes found in the parent series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Natsume Yuujinchou: Nyanko-sensei to Hajimete no Otsukai<\/span>: A more comedy-focused episode that unfortunately features some random kids.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Natsume Yuujinchou: Roku<\/span>: Comes across a lot like a highlight reel.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nekogami Yaoyorozu<\/span>: A slice of lifeish comedy whose humor was just a touch too mellow for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">New Game!<\/span>: Gets a little too earnest for me, and most of the antics would not be out of place in a schoolgirl comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">No Guns Life<\/span>: Fans of the hardboiled detective trope will likely enjoy this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">NOMAD: Megalo Box 2<\/span>: The first episode felt very much like a cable TV prestige drama, and I just don&#8217;t look for that kind of thing in an Anime any more.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nourin<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a fan of ecchi comedies give this a shot. That&#8217;s basically all this is though; a steady stream of ecchi-focused jokes in an agricultural setting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nozo x Kimi<\/span>: Exhibitionist porn that, curiously enough, includes some life lessons.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nurarihyon no Mago<\/span>: Like most shounen, this series combines interesting character design with absolutely abysmal storytelling, character behavior, and plot developments. The periodic bursts of excitement are all the more heartbreaking for it. This is for the first season mind you, the second is better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ongaku Shoujo (TV)<\/span>: Standard idol and &#8216;cute girls being cute&#8217; antics executed well enough if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re looking for<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Onkyou Seimeitai Noiseman<\/span>: A beautifully animated structural mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ooyukiumi no Kaina<\/span>: The non-ending is a issue, as is the plot development and some of the character behavior. Interesting setting though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore Monogatari!!<\/span>: Not a fan of the protagonist&#8217;s archetype. Don&#8217;t like his character design either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu.<\/span>: While this does have a number of comedic moments, it falls into the age-old trap that threatens all parodies: Becoming that which you mock. It&#8217;s a parody of Super Sentai shows that&#8217;s so serious about its love of twintails that it becomes a Super Sentai show&#8230; and I don&#8217;t really like those kind of shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara<\/span>: I&#8217;m not fond of alcohol or childish behavior.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Come<\/span>: If you like the kind of protagonist who&#8217;s always embarrassed and apologizing for things while mourning his &#8216;nice guy&#8217; fate, then this series has got you covered. Personally I couldn&#8217;t stand him.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ou Dorobou Jing in Seventh Heaven<\/span>: Fixes one of the issues with the TV series. Othewise pretty much a seamless continuation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Parol no Miraijima<\/span>: A beautifully drawn\/animated children&#8217;s story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Patlabor: The Movie 2<\/span>: An hour too long with a thoroughly anti-climatic ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Perfect Blue<\/span>: This movie is utterly bizarre in a manner that I did not find enjoyable. Those who really like psychosis and paranoid hallucinations may feel differently.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Persona: Trinity Soul<\/span>: The Personas&#8217; appearances really kill this series. It tries so hard to be serious and then a Persona appears and it&#8217;s as though you&#8217;re watching <em>Voltron<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Princess Connect! Re:Dive<\/span>: The protagonist being a simpleton does it no favors, but if you can get past that it seems to be a cute enough action-comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Psycho-Pass | Sinners of the System<\/span>: The first movie is a pointless sidestory that doesn&#8217;t fit where it&#8217;s chronologically supposed to, the second is quite good, and the third is required viewing for Season 3 that happens to be significantly flawed. Your mileage may vary.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Pupa<\/span>: If you can get past the eroticised cannibalism this is a remarkably interesting miniseries that does some pretty cool things with perpective. That&#8217;s really hard to do though unless you&#8217;re a fan of torture porn.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin<\/span>: If you&#8217;re particularly fond of groups of young male protagonists overcoming tragic\/unfair\/horrible situations against the odds then this could be the series for you. Particularly if you like boxing. Personally the obstacles just felt a little too manufactured.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">RedAsh: Magicicada<\/span>: Far too cartoony.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rekka no Honoo<\/span>: Very dated. Probably would have been decent for its time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori<\/span>: Very relaxing if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rozen Maiden<\/span>: Beautiful animation, but I couldn&#8217;t get into the story. The various character&#8217;s motivations were mysterious and the plot in general didn&#8217;t make much sense. The sequels are better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Runway de Waratte<\/span>: Fans of <em>Cinderella<\/em> stories and\/or the fashion industry will probably get more out of this than I did; everyone being an asshole toward the protagonists was prohibitively draining.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saint October<\/span>: The age-gap between the target demographic and myself was too great to overcome. In you&#8217;re in the market for a kids&#8217; show however you should give this a look.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas<\/span>: Highly reminiscent of <em>X\/1999<\/em>, only with less conviction and cheesier combat.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakamichi no Apollon: Kids on the Slope<\/span>: A very slice-of-lifish drama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakasama no Patema<\/span>: A beautiful movie. Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t stand the antagonists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Trick<\/span>: Amusing from time to time, but for the most part just gratuitous yuri fanservice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Samurai Champloo<\/span>: Nothing about it appealed to me\u2026 possibly because I&#8217;m not a fan of hip-hop culture.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarai-ya Goyou<\/span>: A moderately interesting character-driven series that suffers from glacial pacing. The character design is a bit odd as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarusuberi: Miss Hokusai<\/span>: A mix of realism and fantasy that doesn&#8217;t really have a strong focus, coming across much like a slice-of-life.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sayonara Galaxy Express 999 &#8211; Andromeda Shuuchakueki<\/span>: A sequel to the 1979 <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> movie, and the least bullshit-infused of the franchise&#8217;s various main installments. There&#8217;s still no particular reason to watch it beyond historical curiosity.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">School Rumble<\/span>: Too obviously staged. Appears to consist mainly of generic awkward-romance-based humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">SD Gundam: Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors<\/span>: If you want a more kid-friendly version of <em>Romance of the Three Kingdoms<\/em> this has you covered.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote<\/span>: While this makes an effort to explore some of the darker sides of idol\/VA work the dramatic events feel like they come completely out of left field. If however you&#8217;re looking for something lighter than <em>Oshi no Ko<\/em> while still being in the same wheelhouse this may be able to deliver.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sengoku Basara<\/span>: Think <em>Momoiro Paradox<\/em> with \u2018manly men&#8217; instead of cute girls.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seraphim Call<\/span>: An inventive episodic series that explores some curiously heavy topics (the first episode is a bit of an outlier). A little too slow for me though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seto no Hanayome<\/span>: Starts off hilarious, but around the fourth episode I was getting a bad feeling that crystallized after episode seven. Turns out the same handful of jokes and personalities are re-used every single episode. What was once funny and unexpected becomes generic and tedious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shadows House<\/span>: If you can deal with the protagonist&#8217;s personality this show is a pretty well put together multi-genre series. For the first 10 episodes anyway. The last three are apparently an Anime-original addition and probably best off skipped.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shaman King<\/span>: Couldn&#8217;t stand the characters. Structurally it&#8217;s your average \u2018race to the top&#8217; shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: Moments<\/span>: Focused on the characters when they were children, the majority of this is already present in the main series (via flashback) while the few new bits don&#8217;t really add anything of note. It&#8217;s well-made, there&#8217;s just no point in watching it if you&#8217;ve already seen the series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin Angyou Onshi<\/span>: A movie spanning the first part of a Korean manga series. It was pretty good until the hypnotized \u2018Sando&#8217; appeared; then it just got ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen<\/span>: Avoid unless you&#8217;re a huge fan of nonsensical super-robot shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis<\/span>: While the visuals are great, I strongly dislike the protagonist and the storyline is as cookie-cutter as can be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul<\/span>: Similar to the prequel, the visuals are solid while the story and characters are an acquired taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shingeki no Kyojin<\/span>: Ever wanted to see a standard shounen series in which random people are eaten by naked otaku and crushed by fallen debris? Here&#8217;s your chance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid<\/span>: The comedy style didn&#8217;t work for me, for the most part. If you can handle that and the somewhat awkward animation then I suppose this could turn out to be an entertaining romance with minor mystery elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure how to categorize this. The setting is a world where spirits and humans live more or less side by side, and can enter contracts\/partnerships with each other through song\/music. The series follows the main character, who has formed a bond with one of the most powerful types of spirits, as he works for a sort of detective agency\/odd job type place. There isn&#8217;t really any overarching plotline and it&#8217;s kind of like a slice of life hybrid.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinmai Renkinjutsushi no Tenpo Keiei<\/span>: If you&#8217;re in the mood for something light and fluffy you don&#8217;t have to think about, this could fit the bill.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinpi no Sekai: El-Hazard<\/span>: This TV version of the franchise is perfectly fine if you&#8217;re looking for something light and cartoony.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinsekai Yori<\/span>: In the vaguest general sense this, up until the final stretch, has a mood similar to that of <em>Casshern Sins<\/em> and first-season <em>Higurashi<\/em>. And yet I couldn&#8217;t stop frowning while watching twenty-four of its twenty-five episodes (only episode seventeen didn&#8217;t exude wrongness). The ingredients for a great story are most certainly there, but the dry matter-of-fact method in which it is told squanders practically all of its potential.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shion no Ou<\/span>: I was hoping this would be like <em>Saki<\/em>. It ended up more like <em>Monster<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shokei Shoujo no Ikiru Michi: Virgin Road<\/span>: All the elements of an entertaining series are there, but for some unexplainable reason I ended up feeling nothing but distaste for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu<\/span>: I really don&#8217;t like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rakugo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rakugo<\/a> and the character drama didn&#8217;t do anything for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu -Sukeroku Futatabi Hen-<\/span>: Somewhat different cast, yet same issue as the first half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Show by Rock!!#<\/span>: While this isn&#8217;t really all that much different from the prequel, it has the distinct feel of an unnecessary add-on.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shugo Chara!<\/span>: It starts off nice, but quickly sinks into a mire of cheesy cheerfulness as Amu&#8217;s &#8216;true personality&#8217; starts to be revealed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Slam Dunk<\/span>: A dated deliquent sports shounen series. Personally I found <em>Kuroko no Baske<\/em> to be a more entertaining\/engaging update to the formula introduced here.<\/quote>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Slap Up Party: Arad Senki<\/span>: Too ridiculous in a juvenile way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sola<\/span>: It seemed interesting at first, but didn&#8217;t stay that way for long. The whole action subplot throws off the series&#8217; entire rhythm.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Somali to Mori no Kamisama<\/span>: Those that like slow, relaxing sorts of works (and particularly those that like children) will probably enjoy this series quite a bit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sonny Boy<\/span>: A bit too slow-paced and realism-focused (despite the superpowed dimension-hopping theme) for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sono Toki, Kanojo wa.<\/span>: A little too mundane for me; the lack of animation certainly didn&#8217;t help.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sora no Aosa o Shiru Hito yo<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a big fan of bass playing and meandering relationship drama this may be worth checking out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor \u2013 Heaven and Earth<\/span>: This movie is a sequel to the main <em>Fafner<\/em> series. It&#8217;s very <em>Evangelion<\/em>-ish but ends up being far more strange than entertaining.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sousei no Aquarion<\/span>: The animation was unpleasant for one, but the real problem was that it didn&#8217;t seem to be going anywhere interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Spirited Away<\/span>: The stunning visuals this movie employs are something of a double-edged sword, as the characters it features are not very pleasant to look at.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">SSSS.Dynazenon<\/span>: Features more Trigger tropes than <em>SSSS.Gridman<\/em> and the mecha segments are played far too straight for my taste (I generally don&#8217;t like Kaiju shows).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Star Ocean EX<\/span>: Well\u2026 I&#8217;ve already beaten the game several times, so I already know the story well. This holds quite closely to the game&#8217;s plot and as a result wasn&#8217;t all that entertaining for me to watch. It might be worth a look if you <em>haven&#8217;t<\/em> played the game though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Super Crooks<\/span>: Too western.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Suzuka<\/span>: An otherwise decent romance that suffers from an overly childish main character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sword Art Online: Alicization<\/span>: This would&#8217;ve been a pretty decent story if Kirito and Asuna weren&#8217;t inexplicably involved in it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sword Art Online: War of Underworld<\/span>: The first half is actually pretty decent if you ignore Kirito&#8217;s reduced presence. The second however is basically an average battle shounen filler movie&#8230; which can be fine if you like that sort of thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tactical Roar<\/span>: This series is centered on naval combat and as a result is somewhat unique. Unfortunately, it goes overboard with the ecchi\/harem elements and has a strangely abrupt ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Luminaria: The Fateful Crossroad<\/span>: Solid enough animation, but I&#8217;ve seen this exact sort of story play out far too many times before.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Takahashi Rumiko Gekijou<\/span>: Some of these stories are pretty good, but most end up a little too mundane for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tamayura<\/span>: More or less your standard slice of life\/comedy that features schoolgirls. It&#8217;s certainly not bad, it&#8217;s just a little too slow for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tanken Driland<\/span>: A series aimed toward a younger audience. If you need to find something for your kids to watch this may do the trick, as it seems perfectly fine beyond its base simplicity.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tari Tari<\/span>: A story of one girl&#8217;s acceptance of her past actions couched in a pseudo-<em>K-On!<\/em> making-the-choir framework. Most of the characters are great, but everything else ends up feeling far too forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tenshi no Tamago<\/span>: A darkly surrealistic movie full of symbolism. If searching for hidden meanings is your thing though it could be interesting, otherwise it should probably be avoided since it&#8217;s fairly slow and has very little dialog.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tesagure! Bukatsumono Spin-off Purupurun Sharumu to Asobou<\/span>: This franchise is an acquired taste, and should be thought of as more of a talk show than an Anime due to all the 4th-wall breaking and since many of the lines are ad-libbed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Texhnolyze<\/span>: Extremely slow pacing and nothing all that interesting ever really occurs. It&#8217;s a decent watch if you&#8217;re looking for a darkly atmospheric dystopian sort of thing, just don&#8217;t expect anything particularly engaging.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Idolm@ster<\/span>: If you&#8217;re really into the background work behind models or idols then this is probably worth checking out. For me though it&#8217;s practically unwatchable. The animation is fairly fantastic and the character design is solid\u2026 but yeah, not my thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Idolm@ster Movie: Kagayaki no Mukougawa e!<\/span>: A greater focus on the girls, but not really worth watching unless you&#8217;re a huge fan of idols; the drama is laid on too thickly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Rolling Girls<\/span>: The animation is great and it has a lot of fun parts, but for some reason the product as a whole ends up lackluster.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Thunderbolt Fantasy: Touri-ken Yuuki<\/span>: Not an Anime at all in fact, this will probably appeal to fans of tokusatsu-styled shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tiger Mask W<\/span>: So similar to actual professional wrestling you may as well just go watch that.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Time Travel Shoujo: Mari Waka to 8-nin no Kagakusha-tachi<\/span>: Overly simplistic and apparently specifically geared toward a young audience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">To Love-Ru: Trouble &#8211; Darkness 2nd<\/span>: The franchise has essentially become purestrain softporn. Well-drawn softporn, but softporn all the same.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">To Love-Ru: Trouble &#8211; Darkness OAD<\/span>: While the first and fourth episodes are nice, most of the rest goes far too heavy on the fanservice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T<\/span>: Lot of &#8216;more of the same&#8217; going on here, the point it becomes difficult to get invested. Impressive visual quality though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Endymion no Kiseki<\/span>: A <em>Macross<\/em> take on <em>Index<\/em>. If you&#8217;re looking for some mindless action this can probably fill that need.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Revengers<\/span>: Gave the impression of being an urban fantasy <em>Re:Zero<\/em> with a heavy delinquent theme. I&#8217;m not a fan of delinquents nor time jumps, so ended up dropping it quite early.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san<\/span>: Perfectly fine if you&#8217;re a fan of slowish everyday 4-koma comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tonari no Seki-kun<\/span>: Certainly amusing, but I couldn&#8217;t help but feel perpetually embarrassed on Rumi&#8217;s behalf.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou<\/span>: The DJ-related and food-related infodumps don&#8217;t interest me at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Top o Nerae!<\/span>: The elements for a good show are certainly there, but they just don&#8217;t click for some reason. Wasn&#8217;t fond of Noriko&#8217;s spontaneous emotional outbursts either. Also known as <em>Gunbuster<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toshokan Sensou<\/span>: Ludicrous premise. The concept behind it is solid (going to war against censorship), the actual execution (local and federal government sub-armies attack each under a sort of gentleman&#8217;s rules) is what&#8217;s problematic. Characters are good though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Touhai: Ura Rate Mahjong Touhai Roku<\/span>: If you liked <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Akagi_(manga)\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Akagi<\/a>, you may also like this. Personally I prefer my protagonists to be unambiguously overpowered rather than intermittently so.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru<\/span>: While well made, it&#8217;s far too focused on daily life segments and I&#8217;m not interested in the character\/sword history at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">True Tears<\/span>: The main character and primary love interest are not particularly likable, the \u2018kooky&#8217; love interest gets crushed, and the \u2018childhood friend&#8217; gets completely stonewalled despite being the best character in the series. Rounding things out; most of the melodrama feels staged and the entire tear-fetish premise is fairly creepy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria<\/span>: <em>Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry<\/em> does this kind of setup far better with far less grating characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsuki ga Kirei<\/span>: Too realistic for my taste. I probably would have greatly enjoyed it if the main show was more similar to its post-credits scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu<\/span>: If you liked <em>Free!<\/em> there&#8217;s a decent chance you&#8217;ll like this too.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uchouten Kazoku 2<\/span>: An interesting show that takes far more effort than I&#8217;m willing to expend to appreciate.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uchuu Show e Youkoso<\/span>: This is a pretty standard family friendly kids&#8217; movie in which the only trait that might really appeal to older audiences is the fantastic visuals.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Under the Dog<\/span>: While a fairly competently made B-movie from a technical perspective, it has a distinctly incomplete feel to it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer<\/span>: If you&#8217;re a fan of the parent series then you&#8217;ll probably be a fan of this. If you&#8217;ve never seen the parent series, this will give you a good idea of whether or not you want to. If you don&#8217;t like the parent series&#8230; well, this is not likely to change your mind.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete<\/span>: A fairly interesting time travel drama\/romance. I didn&#8217;t like Yui at all though and felt she ruined the character dynamics.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ushio to Tora (TV Series)<\/span>: The first third is good while the second third is full of wave after wave of somewhat pointless battles and drags considerably. The concluding third is also dragged out a bit, but does manage to offer a pretty good ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Violet Evergarden Gaiden -Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou-<\/span>: Not a fan of the first half&#8217;s setting, or the second half&#8217;s child character. If neither of those things bother you then you&#8217;ll likely enjoy it if you also enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Violet_Evergarden\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the parent series<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vividred Operation<\/span>: Visually this show is outstanding. Content-wise it&#8217;s much too focused on friendship power and cheerfulness to appeal to me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wakaba Girl<\/span>: An aggressively cute slice of life mini-episode series. Too cutesy and ambling for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!<\/span>: Too painfully awkward.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wake Up, Girls!<\/span>: Like <em>Idolm@ster<\/em>, this is much too focused on the business side of things.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yahari Ore no Seishun Lovecome wa Machigatte Iru<\/span>: The whole focus on dismissing someone&#8217;s opinions and attempting to force them into fitting an arbitrarily &#8216;normal&#8217; mold is sickening. If that doesn&#8217;t bother you, then there&#8217;s some pretty great conversation humor in here.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo<\/span>: Take <em>Najica Blitz Tactics<\/em>, remove most of the ecchi, and combine it with the <em>X-Files<\/em> and you have something approximating this series. It&#8217;s fun on the surface, but the episodic nature results in the character actions and behavior feeling re-hashed by the halfway point.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yama no Susume: Second Season<\/span>: A cute\/relaxing slice of life type of show with the occasional odd pocket of drama\/ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (2015)<\/span>: It certainly has its amusing moments, but I just can&#8217;t stand the dynamic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yoake Tsugeru Luu no Uta<\/span>: A solid family-friendly movie with some pretty great animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yobi, The Five Tailed Fox<\/span>: A Korean folkloric movie that manages to have more life than many others in that genre. The problem is that everything is thrown off by a pervasive feeling of artifice\/irregularity. Some kind of \u2018uncanny valley&#8217; phenomenon to the character design or something.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta<\/span>: The depicted events and character behavior becomes pretty annoying before long and both the character design and animation get pretty weird in places. <\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuki no Joou<\/span>: This is as classical a fairy tale as you&#8217;ll find and is primarily meant for young children. If you either don&#8217;t have children or are not a young child it would probably be best to avoid this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!<\/span>: This movie plays out far more like a slice of life than a sketch comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zettai Bouei Leviathan<\/span>: A cute RPG\/magical girlish show that&#8217;s just a little too earnest for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zettai Karen Children<\/span>: Sort of like a more madcap version of <em>Kiddy Grade<\/em> or <em>E&#8217;s Otherwise<\/em>. The level of ridiculousness was a touch too high for me to get very far with it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zettai Shounen<\/span>: Too slow. The dialog, the plot development, the reaction time\u2026 it&#8217;s all glacially paced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou<\/span>: This second season seems to have a greater concentration of sentimentality than the first did. May still be worth watching if you&#8217;re a huge fan of spirit-focused slice-of-life series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zombie Land Saga: Revenge<\/span>: If you&#8217;re looking for an earnest idol show, that&#8217;s apparently what this is now. Don&#8217;t expect much in the way of comedy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Disliked Anime (1-5)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">[0]<\/span>: A music video that begins suddenly, ends suddenly, and accomplishes little.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">.hack\/\/Roots<\/span>: All the pacing problems of <em>.hack\/\/SIGN<\/em> with none of the interesting storyline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">.hack\/\/Sekai no Mukou ni<\/span>: The character design is incredibly ugly and most of their personalities are annoying in some manner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">009: The Reopening<\/span>: A short promo video that suffers from having some extraordinarily outdated CGI animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">07-Ghost<\/span>: I may have liked this if it weren&#8217;t for the predominately male cast. If you&#8217;re into yaoi and\/or feminine guys you might get more mileage out of it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">11 Eyes<\/span>: It has a vaguely interesting concept and some decently dramatic scenes, but overall the series feels incredibly childish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">12-Sai<\/span>: Generic &#8216;first crush&#8217; sort of stuff set in an elementary school. The protagonist&#8217;s eye design is fairly frightening.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">3-Nen D-Gumi Glass no Kamen<\/span>: The main series is already close enough to parody that this just comes across as superfluous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">3D Kanojo: Real Girl<\/span>: Extremely awkward with a questionable finale.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">8 Man After<\/span>: Lots of action, cyborgs, and limb removal&#8230; but the characters are extremely flat and the storyline isn&#8217;t anything to write home about. Making matters worse is that only the English-dubbed version appears to be available.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A Channel<\/span>: Like the second season of <em>K-On!<\/em> or a less boring <em>Hidamari Sketch<\/em>&#8230; except with exponentially worse character design. The OVA series is more of the same.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A Letter to Momo<\/span>: A family-friendly modern-fantasy coming of age story. Not my kind of thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A.D. Police (OVA)<\/span>: It has a couple of good ideas that end up drowned beneath all the pulpy fanservice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A.D. Police (TV Series)<\/span>: Extremely boring with bottom of the barrel animation. While it does end in an unexpected manner, that&#8217;s mostly because the twist makes little sense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A.I.C.O. Incarnation<\/span>: Lackluster action scenes and pretty average everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">A-ko the Versus<\/span>: The basics of the <em>A-ko<\/em> series set in a semi-fantasy &#8216;destroy the evil emperor&#8217; setting. It&#8217;s pretty generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai<\/span>: Had promise, but squandered the majority of it on repetitive ecchi humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Absolute Duo<\/span>: While this has some cute interactions, it&#8217;s exceptionally average overall. The OP is interesting though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Accel World OVA<\/span>: The first episode is a surprisingly fun watch, thanks mostly to the parent series&#8217; main character being relegated to something of a supporting role. The second episode centers on trying (ultimately futilely) to get him to lose weight and is not good at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aggressive Retsuko: Season 2<\/span>: While more or less on par with the first season, the love interest subplot here comes across as extremely forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aguu: Tensai Ningyou<\/span>: Can&#8217;t decide if it wants to be serious or silly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ai Mai Mii 3 ~Surgical Friends~<\/span>: Too much faux-seriousness and not enough crazy\/wacky randomness.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ai Tenchi Muyou!<\/span>: Has far too much pointless\/annoying filler. It would&#8217;ve been okay had it just stuck to the central plotline instead of going on those various school-life tangents.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~<\/span>: Only the ninth episode is worth bothering with unless you really like the secondary characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aika<\/span>: I seem to recall not liking this due to it being a vapid ecchifest with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Its prequels (<em>Aika R-16<\/em> and <em>Aika Zero<\/em>) are pretty amusing though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Air Gear<\/span>: Only watched the first episode, but I&#8217;m not a huge fan of the shounen genre to begin with and have no interest in sports of any kind. I did like the character design though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aishen Qiaokeli-ING\u2026 II<\/span>: It clearly had no idea where to go after the first season and mostly ended up just spinning its wheels.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ajin (OVA)<\/span>: Only the third one is really worth bothering with.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Akai Koudan Zillion<\/span>: Three young adults playing laser tag with genocidal aliens. A standard cheesy 80&#8217;s anime basically, but if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re looking for there are certainly worse options.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Akane Maniax<\/span>: This is a spin-off of <em>Kimi ga Nozomu Eien<\/em> which unfortunately doesn&#8217;t share any real similarities with that series. The new main character is basically a combination of the comic store owner from <em>Lucky Star<\/em> and the baseball captain from <em>Tokimeki<\/em>. As a supporting character he&#8217;s fine, but as the main character his shtick gets old fast.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka<\/span>: Around the fourth episode this starts becoming less amusing as the romance aspects become more pronounced, eventually becoming actively annoying by the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Akira<\/span>: I hated this movie. The animation style was bad enough; I prefer the clean\/sharp style to the round\/realistic style. This was old however so I gave it a pass and watched it to the end. That turned out to be a mistake considering that the story makes very little sense and is horribly clich\u00e9d. What really made me hate it though were those floating fat kids whom I kept wishing would just shut-up and stop ruining the movie with their rampant moralizing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Al Caral no Isan<\/span>: Just plain gereric all the way down.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Alice to Zouroku<\/span>: A bit too schizophrenic with its focus.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku<\/span>: I was hoping this would be one of those amusing shows like <em>Tenchi Muyou! GXP<\/em> or <em>Pani Poni Dash!<\/em> or something. It unfortunately seems geared solely toward a younger audience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">All That Gundam<\/span>: A short showcase of a bunch of Gundam models that mostly all look alike.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ame-iro Cocoa<\/span>: An average mini-episode slice of life show. It just sort of ambles along.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Amnesia<\/span>: A reverse harem that tries to translate a build-your-own blank-slate VN protagonist into an Anime protagonist. It fails.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ancient Books of Ys<\/span>: This is basically a stereotypical \u2018young hero defeats evil monster empire&#8217; type of thing. I wasn&#8217;t a fan of the animation style either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Andromeda Stories<\/span>: Starts out okayish only to become incredibly dull\/uninteresting and end on a rather wierd note.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ane Log<\/span>: A gag comedy that only has one gag.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Anemone<\/span>: A short arty movie that tries to have significant symbology but fails due a complete lack of background information.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Angel Heart<\/span>: This series is sort-of like a psychological thriller up to episode nine, after which it morphs into something like a slice of life series. My main problem with it, besides the rather strange heart transplant premise, is the ill-fitting physical\/ecchi humor used throughout.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t really have anything going for it beyond the action scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Anima<\/span>: Fans of ballet may get more out of this performance than I did.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Animation Seisaku Shinkou Kuromi-chan<\/span>: Two OVAs that do the same thing <em>Shirobako<\/em> does in a much more ridiculous manner. If you really like cartoony comedy they might be worth watching, but otherwise it would be best to just skip right to <em>Shirobako<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Anime-Gataris<\/span>: Gets far too weird very quickly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ankoku Shindenshou Takegami<\/span>: Despite having some good ideas, the transformation designs and third episode really hold this back.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (TV Series)<\/span>: The comedy is nice, but both the discrimination and sincere learning segments are incredibly annoying. The second season is pretty much identical to the first, just with less discrimination and more flashbacks.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (OVA)<\/span>: Does a decent job of giving you an idea of what the manga&#8217;s about, but nothing particularly memorable happens (it&#8217;s also included in the TV series).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ao Oni ~The Animation~<\/span>: The setups are often good, while the punchliones tend to fail.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ao Oni: The Animation<\/span>: A horrible movie with not a single redeeming quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aoharu x Kikanjuu<\/span>: Like <em>Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu<\/em>, this show just does not quite work. The chracter design also gets a little weird at times.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de<\/span>: An attempted shounen parody featuring modified Sega\/Nintendo-related characters that happens to be far worse than the shows it&#8217;s meant to parody.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Appare-Ranman!<\/span>: Kind of a mess that doesn&#8217;t know if it wants to be a buddy comedy, wacky racing show, or revenge drama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Appleseed<\/span>: This first <em>Appleseed<\/em> OVA is the closest to being about more than just the two main cahracters, who are more like secondary characters here. So it&#8217;s unfortunate that it ends up so average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Appleseed Ex Machina<\/span>: The animation style used for this movie works very well for action scenes and is god-awful for everything else. It probably would&#8217;ve been better if they went the full-CGI route rather than some bastardized CGI\/cell-shading hybrid. As it stands, the character interactions look horribly fake and the characters themselves look a bit too much like plastic figurines.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Appleseed XIII<\/span>: The animation is a bit better than that found in <em>Ex Machina<\/em>. That&#8217;s really the only good thing I can say about it though since everything else is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aquarion Evol<\/span>: The segregation elements are annoying and the level of ridiculousness is too high.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aquarion Logos<\/span>: While I love the comedy, the antagonists are pretty bad and the late-series drama is just a pain.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aquarion the Movie<\/span>: Had they simply made a condensed version of <em>Genesis of Aquarion<\/em> it might have been decent, unfortunately this is a retelling that has all the same negative attributes while making far less sense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ar Tonelico<\/span>: It&#8217;s okay as a teaser for the game, I guess, but does not work well as a stand-alone.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arcana Famiglia<\/span>: A reverse-harem focused on building and strengthening bonds of friendship and camaraderie. It&#8217;s pretty cheesy and ends on something of whimper with a fighting tournament lacking most of the fighting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aria the Animation<\/span>: This is a pure slice of life series, which means it has no storyline to speak of and instead just follows the characters around as they do normal everyday things. It&#8217;s very laid-back and has a dry sense of humor, so you may find it worth a look if you&#8217;re feeling mellow or want to watch something just to pass the time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekaisaikyou<\/span>: Decent-to-good comedy, questionable-to-abysmal everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekaisaikyou: 2nd Season<\/span>: Notably better animation than the prequel, but notably worse event progression. Feels rushed despite adapting less material.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arjuna<\/span>: An environmental-friendly series that takes its focus to Luddite extremes. It has a lot to say about science and progress and none of it is good (or well researched, or backed by any sort of actual evidence, or even moderately sane). Basically, the only people who are going to enjoy this series are the same one&#8217;s who consider vaccinations evil.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arslan Senki<\/span>: Became too dull and meandering in the second episode for me to continue watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aru Zombie Shoujo no Sainan<\/span>: The original project based on the trailer looked pretty bad. The eventual finished project starts out surprisingly decent, but quickly falls off a cliff in the event development department.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Arve Rezzle: Kikaijikake no Yousei-tachi<\/span>: A short movie with an interesting concept that fails to sell itself. The unimpressive animation and questionable art-style choices don&#8217;t help matters any.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asobi ni Iku yo!<\/span>: An otherwise generic harem with an action subplot just as ill-fitting as <em>Sola<\/em>\u2018s.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Assassins Pride<\/span>: A faulty premise compounded by repeated nonsensical\/random plot developments and forced romantic elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asu no Yoichi!<\/span>: Similar to <em>Crocodile Dundee<\/em>, if Dundee were a submissive character who continuously stumbled into ecchi situations. The jokes, such as they are, get old fairly quickly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asura<\/span>: A movie about a feral cannibal-child that goes out of its way to be as repulsive as possible, in everything from its character design to its depicted events, in order to enhance its message. Don&#8217;t bother with it unless you&#8217;re fond of self-flagellation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asura Cryin&#8217;<\/span>: Both the premise and the characters are ridiculous. Perhaps it would be better without the ecchi\/harem elements, but I doubt it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Asylum Session<\/span>: A movie set in a semi-future dystopia with an &#8216;art can save your soul&#8217; theme. The storyline is nothing special and the animation is bottom-of-the-barrel CG work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Avenger<\/span>: A slowly-paced, over-dramatic, and effectively action-less soap opera.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Avengers Confidential: Black Widow &#038; Punisher<\/span>: Has a couple well done martial arts action scenes. Painfully generic in all other aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Aya Hito Shiki to Iu na no Ishi Hata<\/span>: Whether this is actually unfinished, or merely appears unfinished for artistic effect, doesn&#8217;t really make much of a difference; it seems unfinished either way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ayakashi<\/span>: Wants to be <em>Shadow Star<\/em> and\/or <em>Elfen Lied<\/em>; fails miserably.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Azusa Otetsudai Shimasu!<\/span>: Has a couple good comedic bits, but that&#8217;s about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">B-Project: Kodou Ambitious<\/span>: An otherwise average idol-themed otome game brought down into terrible territory by a ridiculous conclusion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Back Street Girls: Gokudols<\/span>: Barely existent animation and a bit too focused on standard idol activities.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Baka to Test to Shokanju<\/span>: Far too ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bakuman (2011)<\/span>: Unlike the first season, the conflicts that appear in here feel extraordinarily forced and little of note happens. That the characters age from 14->20 over the course of the series while looking exactly the same is also an issue.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bakumatsu: Ren`ai Bakumatsu Kareshi Gaiden<\/span>: Just incredibly uninteresting all around.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bakuretsu Hunter<\/span>: The ecchi aspects are annoying and the ending is painful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bang Dream!<\/span>: Can&#8217;t stand the protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bang Dream! Garupa Pico<\/span>: A few more misses than hits in the random comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Banner of the Stars II<\/span>: This installment is far, far worse than the previous and later ones. It focuses too much on a rebelling prison world and ends up feeling nothing at all like a space opera.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bartender<\/span>: If you really like both alcohol and people sitting around talking about alcohol then you may enjoy this series. That&#8217;s pretty much all it contains though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Basilisk: Ouka Ninpou Chou<\/span>: A questionable Naruto immitation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Battery<\/span>: A pretty average character drama that suffers from some questionable dialog work and plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Battle Angel Alita<\/span>: I couldn&#8217;t deal with the animation style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Battle Girl High School<\/span>: A pale imitation of too many other shows to list.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Battle Girls: Time Paradox<\/span>: This is pretty much a cutesy simplistic version of <em>Samurai Deeper Kyou<\/em>. It wouldn&#8217;t have been so bad if it weren&#8217;t for all the happily-ever-after friendship-cures-all nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Baymax<\/span>: A little monochrome short related to the movie <em>Big Hero 6<\/em>. It&#8217;s average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bayonetta: Bloody Fate<\/span>: Odd character design coupled with a barely-there story and absolutely abysmal characters\/dialog. Nice monster design though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Beatless<\/span>: The central character dynamic doesn&#8217;t work very well at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Beautiful World<\/span>: This <em>Evangelion<\/em> music video ends just as it&#8217;s getting good.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastorale<\/span>: Bad visual quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bernard Jou Iwaku.<\/span>: Spends more time explaining the jokes than making them.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Berserk<\/span>: Violence for the sake of violence and insanity for the sake of insanity.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Betterman<\/span>: Starts out semi-interesting only to very quickly become, at turns, ridiculously melodramatic and just plain ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Big Order<\/span>: A badly executed parody of <em>Mirai Nikki<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bikini Warriors<\/span>: A parody of mindless ecchi situations that&#8217;s, at the end of the day, remarkably similar to mindless ecchi .<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei Bu Love! Love! Love!<\/span>: Exceptionally dry.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bio Hunter<\/span>: An average B-movie; nudity, violence, and not much else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Biohazard: Damnation<\/span>: A painfully cheesy action movie with some pretty good animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Biohazard: Degeneration<\/span>: A pretty average action movie with, by modern standards, notably lackluster character animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Birth<\/span>: Also known as <em>Planet Busters<\/em> and <em>World of the Talisman<\/em>, this movie is full of childish humor, nonsensical plot developments, and an ending that renders the entire exercise pointless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal<\/span>: The first arc is pretty decent. The second is horrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bishoujo Yuugi Unit Crane Game<\/span>: A group of wannabe idols gets tricked into playing an arcade crane game in order to save the world from an asteroid. The crane game or idol parts alone might have been amusing, the two combined just ends up bizarre.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Black Bullet<\/span>: An average action\/drama\/comedy with a loli focus. Not much reason to watch it unless you desperately need to see another show in the same vein as <em>Machine-Doll<\/em>, <em>Kurokami<\/em>, or <em>Shana<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Black Magic M-66<\/span>: A cartoonish <em>Terminator<\/em> knock-off.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blade &#038; Soul<\/span>: Bad pacing in the beginning, bad execution and too many ideas in the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blame! Prologue<\/span>: Two CGI-animated shorts that look really good until their characters begin to move. Beyond the static background art there&#8217;s nothing of value here.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bleach<\/span>: Basically, it gets worse the further you get from the end of season three. The first three seasons are fantastic, the filler seasons (four, five, nine, and thirteen) are terrible and should be skipped no matter what, and the rest gets more and more tedious the further you progress.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bleach Movie: Hell Chapter<\/span>: Has one or two interesting fight scenes\u2026 but that&#8217;s all it has.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bleach Movie: The Diamond Dust Rebellion<\/span>: A boring first half and a second half filled with pointlessly excessive power usage.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blood: The Last Vampire<\/span>: This movie gave no reasons for why what was happening was happening or any form of exposition whatsoever. Random things happen to random people and I see no particular reason to care.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blood-C<\/span>: If you liked anything at all about <em>Blood+<\/em> then this series is nothing short of blasphemy. They took everything even remotely realistic or nuanced from that series and threw it right out the window, leaving nothing but a trashy school-life series mixed with a childish monster of the week shounen. I liked the above <em>The Last Vampire<\/em> more than I liked this series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blood-C: The Last Dark<\/span>: Nothing like the prequel series, this is much closer to a slightly improved version of <em>The Last Vampire<\/em>. The slight improvement comes in the form of actual non-action-related plot developments\/events&#8230; that unfortunately weren&#8217;t implemented very well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blood Lad EX<\/span>: Serves to connect the first season with whatever comes next. Not much point in watching it until that &#8216;whatever comes next&#8217; actually materializes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bloodivores<\/span>: The action scenes are remarkably bad and it doesn&#8217;t really have anything else going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">BLUE REFLECTION RAY<\/span>: Feels like a distillation of every dark magical girl show ever made. It&#8217;s not bad, just lacking something to make it stand out from the rest.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Blue Seed<\/span>: <em>Urotsukidouji<\/em> without the sex.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boku no Kanojo ga Majime Sugiru Shobitch na Ken<\/span>: The central romance is usually amusing, but the harem aspects are not.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boku wa Imouto ni Koi o Suru<\/span>: It just didn&#8217;t do anything for me despite being good from a storyline perspective. The character behavior, while realistic, was just incredibly annoying and I didn&#8217;t like the visual design one bit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Add-on Disc<\/span>: Pointless heavy-ecchi extra episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bokura Mada Underground<\/span>: Interesting visuals paired with not so great music.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bokurano<\/span>: The interesting parts were canceled out by the annoying and\/or boring parts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan 2<\/span>: Wholly inferior to the first season. There&#8217;s far more censoring going on (yes, even in the uncensored version) and the former extreme graphic violence was the show&#8217;s entire attraction.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bouken! Iczer 3<\/span>: Somehow manages to be even worse than the prequel.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bounen no Xamdou<\/span>: It reminded me too much of <em>Eureka 7<\/em> and <em>Wings of Rean<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Boys Be&#8230;<\/span>: A fairly average work with below average visual quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">BPS: Battle Programmer Shirase<\/span>: Has some amusing moments, but once the lolicon aspects get serious with the introduction of Yoriko it never quite recovers.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Brave 10<\/span>: If this focused on just Isanami and Saizou it would have been a fun series. Unfortunately it also features a bunch of other characters and they are all insufferable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Brother, Dear Brother<\/span>: I couldn&#8217;t deal with the animation style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV<\/span>: Gives you the backgrounds on the four protagonists in a painfully hamfisted manner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bubblegum Crash!<\/span>: Slightly better than the prequel thanks to a less nonsensical plotline and better character presentation. Still not really worth watching though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bubblegum Crisis<\/span>: A loosely connected series of cyber-punkish B-movies that do nothing at all of interest.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Bubuki Buranki<\/span>: Fantasic action scenes. Sadly, that&#8217;s all it&#8217;s got going for it as the storytelling and characterizations are a total mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Buddy Complex<\/span>: Rather generic and it feels as though large swathes of the storyline have been cut out. The two-episode TV Special finish is a decent enough watch if you&#8217;ve seen the series though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Burn the Witch<\/span>: Balgo&#8217;s presence ruins it. Completely.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Burn Up Excess<\/span>: Too much ecchi with not enough interesting storyline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Burn Up Scramble<\/span>: I like Maya, but she doesn&#8217;t get enough screen time to outweigh all the cartoon-quality silliness that&#8217;s going on nor how tiresome Rio&#8217;s behavior becomes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Burst Angel: Infinity<\/span>: It&#8217;s okay, but isn&#8217;t really on the same level as the main series. I never really liked the flashbacks to begin with, and since this is <em>all<\/em> flashback\u2026.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Busou Chuugakusei: Basket Army<\/span>: Reminds me a bit of <em>Gunslinger Girl<\/em>, but for some reason the premise here seems particularly unbelievable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Busou Shinki<\/span>: A fluffy, simplistic light-hearted series that has a distressing amount of ecchi. The battle scenes are incredibly good though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Busou Shinki Moon Angel<\/span>: A web series with an atrocious plot and fantastic battle animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Butlers: Chitose Monotose Monogatari<\/span>: Could have been decent if it had dropped\/sidelined the school life aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">C3: Cube x Cursed x Curious<\/span>: Average drama\/comedy haremish type of show with an action focus. Though the characters are more emotionally unstable than most.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Caligula<\/span>: A mess similar to the Persona franchise.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Captain Harlock (2013)<\/span>: Animated similarly to <em>Spirits Within<\/em>, <em>Advent Children<\/em>, and <em>Starship Troopers: Invasion<\/em>. Said animation is surprisingly passable, unfortunately the second half of the movie is chock full of mind-numbingly stupid developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cardcaptor Sakura<\/span>: Just this side of too little-girlie. A little more seriousness and this could have been a series for everyone.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari<\/span>: A otherwise surprisingly good set of movies utterly sunk by painfully generic storyline developments. The TV and movie versions are identical.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chain Chronicle: Short Animation<\/span>: The first and last episodes are set up like trailers, while the rest is kind of episodic. The character design is its only notable feature.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Sen&#8217;eki<\/span>: The majority of the characters are interesting (both visually and personality-wise), so it&#8217;s a shame the nominal protagonist is so annoying. The animation also has issues (it often can&#8217;t keep up with the action and the CG is rather bad) and the storyline is disjointed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chaos;Child<\/span>: The swordfighting is dumb and the climax leading up to ending is annoyingly ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chaos;Child: SILENT SKY<\/span>: Would&#8217;ve actually been decent were it not for the extended info-dump\/villain monologue halfway through.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Charlotte<\/span>: Tomori is quite entertaining and the last episode is pretty good, but for the most part the show is either annoying (pre-mood shift) or unengaging (post-mood shift).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore<\/span>: The addiction subtheme isn&#8217;t really conductive to a relaxing\/amusing time-waster. Could also do without the loli.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cheating Craft<\/span>: Too silly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chiruran: Nibun no Ichi<\/span>: Lacks range; the jokes are all pretty much the same.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chiryokumaru<\/span>: A commercial with decent animation but no real point to it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujikuu Kidan Southern Cross<\/span>: Tons of generic tropes and some especially aggravating moral hand-wringing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujin Locke: Lord Leon<\/span>: A decent enough first two episodes torpedoed by a terrible third episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujin Locke: Mirror Ring<\/span>: This takes place shortly after <em>New World Command<\/em>. It has bad animation, uninspiring antagonists, and a highly questionable plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujin Locke: New World Command<\/span>: Trying to turn this into an ensemble show is not the best idea, nor is ending it with a spontaneous over-the-top boss fight.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Choujin Koukousei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyuu de Ikinuku you desu!<\/span>: A series about solving serious issues with magical thinking and supernatural abilities. I&#8217;d strongly suggest skipping the first quarter or so of the first episode (the pre-isekai part) if you plan to watch it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chronus<\/span>: Average at best story with an annoying protagonist and mostly basic animation. It does have an unusual art style though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chu Feng: B.E.E.<\/span>: The action scenes are uneven, the situational setup is exceedingly dumb, and it ends mid-plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Chuumon no Ooi Ryouriten<\/span>: An arty movie that manages to take an interesting premise and make it extraordinarily dull and boring.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Circlet Princess<\/span>: Good comedy, mediocre-to-bad action, and an atrocious conclusion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">citrus<\/span>: Gets ridiculously over-dramatic at times.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Clamp in Wonderland<\/span>: A music video featuring various CLAMP characters from their earlier works. Nothing in particular stands out about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Clannad After Story<\/span>: A wholly inferior version of <em>Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Clione no Akari<\/span>: Average story with a forced ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Clockwork Planet<\/span>: Has some pretty good character interactions, but it fails utterly as an action series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Clover \u2013 Preview OVA<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure as to the point of this very short (6.5 minutes) OVA. Perhaps it was made as a proof of concept? The setting could be very interesting, but a full series probably won&#8217;t materialize.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cluster Edge<\/span>: Lacks focus. The religious aspects aren&#8217;t all that interesting either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito<\/span>: Starts off great and gets worse as it progresses, exponentially so in the last two movies.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland<\/span>: This is, infuriatingly enough, effectively a picture drama. Nothing but glorified bonus content.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Code: Breaker<\/span>: Starts off interesting despite having an awful main character. At the halfway point it throws that all away and becomes a sad mimicry of a shounen series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Comet Lucifer<\/span>: Nonsense-heavy and features an annoying mascot character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Comic Party Revolution<\/span>: This little OVA series took the stereotypes of the parent series and applied them to the plot. Which essentially makes it excessively stupid.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Comic Party Revolution (2005)<\/span>: This seems to have taken the basic story of the first season and then overlaid it onto a harem series. Well\u2026 that was a bad call since the story and archetypes don&#8217;t lend themselves well to that genre.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Conception<\/span>: Unsalvageable, regardless or whether you view it as a harem comedy or as a parody of one.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cop Craft<\/span>: A stereotypical central relationship bracketed by some haphazardly executed interesting, and not so interesting, ideas.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Coppelion<\/span>: A series that starts out serious and overly dramatic and quickly becomes goofy and ridiculous. The combination is pretty terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Corpse Party: Missing Footage<\/span>: This just sets up the events that presumably take place in the game. Considering how heavily censored it is there&#8217;s no real reason to watch it; just watch the four-episode <em>Tortured Souls<\/em> OVA series instead.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cosmic Fantasy: Ginga Mehyou no Wana<\/span>: The first half is surprisingly good; the second half is a disaster.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo<\/span>: The fourth through seventh episodes are pretty good, the rest fluctuates between being either overly dramatic or just plain unengaging.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Crusher Joe<\/span>: Good animation; bad everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Crystal Blaze<\/span>: An action\/conspiracy series with a setting curiously similar to <em>Gintama<\/em>\u2018s that&#8217;s notable only for its incredibly annoying characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cutie Honey Universe<\/span>: Dated garbage.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cyber City Oedo 808: Good animation. Everything else is unfortunately pretty generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman<\/span>: Beautiful visuals highlighting painfully dated content.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Cyclops Shoujo Saipuu<\/span>: A limited focus combined with unwelcome ecchi elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">D_cide Traumerei: The Animation<\/span>: Solid enough action scenes, but the protagonists are all pretty one-note.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">D.C.if: Da Capo if<\/span>: An alternative continuation of the first season, this is a bit awkward and the events feel a bit forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">D.C.III: Da Capo III<\/span>: A generic ecchi-fanservice harem for the most part. Episodes nine, ten, and eleven are worthwhile though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">D.Gray-man<\/span>: It starts off inspired only to descend into mediocre storytelling and stupid physical humor. The first nine episodes are quite good while the rest is mostly rather bland (although seventeen &amp; twenty-six were good). Road and Lenalee are by far the best characters in the series and without them it would be utter crap\u2026 but they can only do so much.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">DAME\u00d7PRINCE: ANIME CARAVAN<\/span>: Starts out amusing only to become highly uneven and, in the last third, consistently mediocre.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen &#8211; Kibou Hen<\/span>: Concludes things in a pretty generic and uninteresting manner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen &#8211; Zetsubou Hen<\/span>: The various elements (comedy, horror, conspiracy, violence) aren&#8217;t blended particularly well. I enjoyed the comedic bits, but the rest just came across as gratuitous\/forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dagashi Kashi<\/span>: A series of candy comercials interspersed with random\/ecchi comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Daishizen no Majuu Bagi<\/span>: If you&#8217;re really into furries you might get something out of this, otherwise it will probably just be too silly. Being fond of silliness alone likely won&#8217;t be enough since there&#8217;s a significant amount of seriousness\/tragedy shoved in there as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dallos<\/span>: Good artwork, but it&#8217;s kind of dated and nothing else about it really stands out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dan Petory Kyoushu no Yuuutsu<\/span>: A short movie that&#8217;s part random comedy and part educational parody. It goes too far over the edge.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Danchigai<\/span>: While cute at times, it contains far too many forced ecchi scenarios.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dark Side Cat<\/span>: While the animation is surprisingly good (for flash) the actual content is neither particularly funny nor interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Darkstalkers<\/span>: Watching this is similar to watching someone play the video game. Making matters worse is that the humanoid characters&#8217; faces are poorly drawn.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Darling in the Franxx<\/span>: Starts off pretty good despite the ecchi aspects only to begin falling apart in the second half before completely disintegrating at the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Date a Live<\/span>: Does not try to be even remotely plausible and feels like an amateur fanfiction. Characters, events, situations; everything&#8217;s pulled right out of thin air just for the hell of it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Days<\/span>: A by-the-numbers sports shounen with ridiculously forced events and a questionably designed protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Days (Music Video)<\/span>: One of the more simplistic <em>Mekaucity Actors<\/em> videos.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">DearS<\/span>: An ecchi and emotionless (besides lust) version of <em>Chobits.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Death Billiards<\/span>: Decent enough animation with some nice artwork, but offloads all of the plotwork onto the viewer. Rather than tell a story, it throws some ideas out there and wants you to tie them all together and come up with a fitting conclusion yourself.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku<\/span>: Painfully average with some highly questionable harem aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Death Note: R &#8211; Genshi Suru Kami<\/span>: The abrieviated runtime highlights just how stupid Light is, and certainly doesn&#8217;t help make the characters&#8217; personalities any more palatable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Deltora Quest<\/span>: Could only find the English version and couldn&#8217;t stand Jasmine&#8217;s voice actress.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z<\/span>: Overly spastic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dennou Coil<\/span>: I find the drawing\/animation style physically repulsive.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Denpa Kyoushi (TV)<\/span>: An incredibly bad show that appears to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Desert Punk<\/span>: Utter crap. Unless you&#8217;re a ten-year (or less) old boy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Devil May Cry<\/span>: This resembles a <em>Hellsing\/<\/em><em>Gungrave<\/em> hybrid. However, while those two had plotlines this is just gratuitous violence\/action with no significant storyline until episode nine. The final battle was also quite pathetic since you never even see Dante assume his half-devil form; it&#8217;s just implied a bit and then drowned out in a flash of light.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Devilman: Crybaby<\/span>: The gratuitous ecchi, inconsistent pacing, and questionable plot devlopments render this unwatchable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Diabolik Lovers<\/span>: Sadistic vampires biting\/degrading an innocent girl for eight episodes, followed by some low level scheming and plot development for the last four. It&#8217;s overly dramatic\/pulpy and only one character has a remotely interesting personality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dies Irae<\/span>: Tries to do too many things at once while being bad at all of them.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Digital Juice<\/span>: A small collection of weird shorts that are, well&#8230; weird.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dive!!<\/span>: Falls apart at the end, which resembles a collage.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Divine Gate<\/span>: Something of a hodgepodge of various other series, the main issue is that it seems to greatly enjoy wallowing in its own melodrama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">DNA2: Dokoka de Nakushita Aitsu no Aitsu<\/span>: A dated ecchi\/harem series that suffers from severe amounts of incompetence and implausibility. The three episode sequel tosses out most of the ecchi to focus on action and ends up a decent enough conclusion (though nowhere near good enough to recommend watching the series).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dogs: Bullets &amp; Carnage<\/span>: Only the third episode is worth watching. The other three are trash.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">DOLLS&#8217; FRONTLINE<\/span>: Aggressively average. Decent production values though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dominion<\/span>: A parody of police brutality which backfires into a promotion of it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Donten ni Warau<\/span>: A comedy\/drama that just doesn&#8217;t feel right at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Donyatsu<\/span>: Quite dumb. Has only one or two good bits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Double-J<\/span>: A series of \u2018educational&#8217; absurdist shorts (three-minute episodes) that seem to want to remind people of the \u201ctraditional arts\u201d. Most of the episodes tend to have at least one amusing exchange in them, but it&#8217;s generally not worth sitting through the lecturing to get to it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Doukoku no Nightmare<\/span>: An indie project that starts out looking like it might be interesting only to get a bit too carried away preaching its message. It still has a chance to get better, but right now it&#8217;s not really worth watching.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Doukyuusei 2<\/span>: While technically a hentai, in effect this is more like an ecchi comedy crossed with a dramatic love polygon; the sex scenes are rare, brief, and only show breasts. The series&#8217; best quality by far is its slapstick comedy, which unfortunately disappears for a large chunk of its runtime.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dragon Age: Blood Mage no Seisen<\/span>: While the animation is a decent cell-shade variation and it has relatively impressive fight scenes, the story and events make less sense than <em>Dragon Age 2<\/em>\u2018s. You&#8217;ve got blood mages galore, Golems working with Ogres on the surface, and winged drakes\u2026 all on the same side.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dragonaut: The Resonance<\/span>: Sort of like the inverse of <em>Witchblade<\/em>; the first half is moderately interesting while the second is not.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dragon Ball Kai<\/span>: Couldn&#8217;t stand Gokuu&#8217;s voice actor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dragon Fist<\/span>: Only noteworthy for how consistently bad it is in just about every category.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dragon&#8217;s Dogma<\/span>: Okayish in some respects, it suffers mainly from not having a reason to exist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">DreaFes!!!!!! -Dream Festival-<\/span>: A decent idol show scuttled by significant pacing issues.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Drifters<\/span>: While fundamentally different from <em>Hellsing<\/em> it looks and behaves so similarly it&#8217;s difficult to take it as anything other than a cheap knockoff.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Druaga no Tou: the Sword of Uruk<\/span>: The first episode is good. Unfortunately it all goes downhill from there.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dual! Parallel Runrun Monogatari<\/span>: A mix of <em>Evangelion<\/em> and <em>Tenchi<\/em> that&#8217;s not integrated very well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka: Familia Myth II<\/span>: Accomplishes its goal of expanding the Hestia Familia, but does so in the most boring and hamfisted way possible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Dynamic Chord<\/span>: While overly-dramatic the first arc is okayish&#8230; sadly it has no clue where to go from there.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ebiten: Kouritsu Ebi Sugawa Koukou Tenmonbu<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t seem to know what it wants to be. Skips from one idea to another more or less at random.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">EDENSZERO<\/span>: <em>Fairy Tail<\/em> fanfiction with the same genre makeup. While I found the first season barely watchable, the second very quickly goes downhill.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eien no Aseria<\/span>: An unfinished OVA series whose first impression does not leave you wishing it were finished.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eiga Layton-kyouju to Eien no Utahime<\/span>: The mystery parts are dull and the action parts are dumb.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Egao no Daika<\/span>: The princess half of the story is remarkably uninteresting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki the Animation<\/span>: Beautiful visuals all-around and a handful of great fight scenes in the first half. Unfortunately the plotline is incomplete and full of holes. The dialog is also rather terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">El Hazard: The Alternative World<\/span>: More serious than <em>The Magnificent World<\/em>, this basically jettisons the only thing that made that series worth watching: The boatloads of weirdness. Ends up simply average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">El Hazard: The Magnificent World 2<\/span>: If you desperately want more <em>El Hazard<\/em> weirdness you may get something out of this, but I found it completely extraneous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">\u0113lDLIVE<\/span>: Resembles a sillier <em>Boku no Hero Academia<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Elf Seventeen<\/span>: Dated nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">End of the World<\/span>: A short movie about dimension hopping and post-apocalyptic violence. Maybe. It has an idea there but doesn&#8217;t really manage to realize it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Endride<\/span>: Overly simplistic with an annoying protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Enmusubi no Youko-chan<\/span>: Though I like Suusu, the rest is fairly unwatchable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eromanga-sensei<\/span>: Starts out fun, but crashes and burns following the introduction of Hana.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Escaflowne<\/span>: While this movie&#8217;s animation is more palatable than the TV series&#8217;, the whole production reminded me far too much of <em>Akira<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Escha Chron<\/span>: There&#8217;s not really anything at all noteworthy about these two effectively unrelated episodes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eureka Seven<\/span>: I have no clue if this is good or not, but I couldn&#8217;t stand the main character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Eureka Seven \u2013 Pocketful of Rainbows<\/span>: Watched this due to claims it was nothing like the series. The main character is unfortunately still horrible though and the plotline is an uninspired and jumbled mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Evil or Live<\/span>: Both the animation quality and characters are terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">eX-Driver<\/span>: Lots of car chases (which aren&#8217;t animated so well), generic comedy, and an annoying main character. Does vaguely feel a little like <em>Bubblegum Crisis<\/em> though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">eX-Driver the Movie<\/span>: A sequel to the OVA series, this feels a lot like <em>The Fast and the Furious<\/em>. The car chases and characters aren&#8217;t as good as that movie though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Exception<\/span>: Weird visuals and dumb characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Explorer Woman Ray<\/span>: Average, cheesy, 80&#8217;s action.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fairy Gone<\/span>: One of the most enthusiasm-sapping first episodes I&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fairy Tail (OVAs)<\/span>: The first episode is generic fanservice and not really worth watching. The next three have a greater comedy focus to them and are on par with the main series&#8217; earlier episodes. The fifth is sort of at the midpoint between the two, while the <em>Groove Adventure Rave<\/em> mash-up is best avoided completely. Out of the last three only the 8th is particularly amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fairy Tail: Houou no Miko<\/span>: An average stand-alone movie add-on for a popular series. Contains all the unfortunate traits you&#8217;d expect from such a project alongside an apparent (equally unfortunate) personality transplant for Lucy and an unexpectedly interesting design decision for the titular phoenix.\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fantasista Doll<\/span>: A pseudo-parody of shoujo with similarities to <em>Rozen Maiden<\/em> and <em>Cardcaptor Sakura<\/em> whose only redeeming quality is some decent battle sequences.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Extra: Last Encore<\/span>: Cool visuals. That&#8217;s about it though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Grand Order -First Order-<\/span>: Neither the comedic nor dramatic aspects work on any level.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten &#8211; Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon<\/span>: Effectively indistinguishable from a battle shounen filler movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya Zwei!<\/span>: Amazing technical quality. <em>Far<\/em> too much ecchi. The OVA is just an average fanservice episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fate\/stay night Heaven&#8217;s Feel: I. presage flower<\/span>: Good prelude segment, but everything past Shirou stumbling upon Lancer (which isn&#8217;t actually even shown) is a mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Final Fantasy Unlimited<\/span>: A very strange series. The premise is a touch too strange for me to like it though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fire Tripper<\/span>: An interesting central concept wasted on a generic romance story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">First Squad: The Moment of Truth<\/span>: I suppose this movie could be good if you can deal with horrifically illogical plotlines and characters. I found it utterly ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Five Star Stories<\/span>: Looks great but lacks any notable impact.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Flip Flappers<\/span>: Looses its touch past the second episode, ending up as a pale imitation of shows like <em>FLCL<\/em> and <em>Kyousougiga<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Flying Babies<\/span>: Standard schoolgirl club comedy with lackluster animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fractale<\/span>: It&#8217;s okay, but I ended up having to skip through a good 80% of the later episodes&#8217; content due to a chronic infestation of implausibility and nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Frame Arms Girl<\/span>: The lighthearted atmosphere doesn&#8217;t mesh with the gratuitous ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Freezing<\/span>: This series is sort of like what would happen if you tried to combine <em>K\u00e4mpfer<\/em> with <em>Evangelion.<\/em> It suffers from excessive melodrama, overly heavy ecchi elements, and some fairly terrible character personalities (including the most extreme example of a tsundere I&#8217;ve ever seen). The ending is also horrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu<\/span>: Mostly cringeworthy with a couple good bits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fukigen na Mononokean<\/span>: The protagonist backslides quickly after finally becoming tolerable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fukumenkei Noise<\/span>: The heroine&#8217;s voice can&#8217;t live up to the storyline&#8217;s praise.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie<\/span>: Notably inferior to the parent series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fullmetal Panic!: Invisible Victory<\/span>: A number of good action scenes, but the plot developments lack coherence.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fushigi na Somera-chan<\/span>: A completely random short-episode comedy who&#8217;s bits miss more often than they hit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fushigi no Kuni no Miyuki-chan<\/span>: The first episode is mostly amusing with an annoying ending stretch, while the second is mostly annoying with some nice background art.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fushigi Yuugi<\/span>: This show did not age well at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Futakoi Alternative<\/span>: A love story revolving around a guy and a pair of twins that staggers between manic insanity and glacially placed melodrama. If it had kept up the balancing act from the first three episodes throughout the entire series it would have been great\u2026 unfortunately as it is it&#8217;s just a mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Futari wa Milky Holmes<\/span>: Pretty much identical in overall feel to <em>Milky Holmes: Alternative<\/em>, it just has different protagonists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fuuka<\/span>: Both the romantic elements and music elements are pretty average. Nothing about it really stands out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Fuuun Ishin Dai\u2606Shougun<\/span>: Awful and barely animated.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gaikotsu Shoten&#8217;in Honda-san<\/span>: Though it tries to be funny, the events presented won&#8217;t be a surprise if you&#8217;ve ever worked retail.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gakuentoshi Varanoir: Kingdom of Chaos The Universe<\/span>: A wonderful candidate for the worst Anime ever. Even <em>Mars of Destruction<\/em> is better than this immensely low-effort work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gakusen Toshi Asterisk<\/span>: A cookie-cutter, by-the-books, academy harem action\/comedy. The tournament arc action scenes are pretty good, but pretty much everything else is forgettable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Galaxy Angel<\/span>: Too little-girlie. Filled with nonsense for nonsense&#8217;s sake.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Galaxy Express 999 Movie<\/span>: A modified and condensed version of the 113 episode TV series. Its story and structural elements are extremely dated and there&#8217;s little reason to seek it out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy<\/span>: This takes place after the TV series and <em>Adieu Galaxy Express 999<\/em> and focuses most of its efforts on getting you to feel for Tetsurou&#8217;s plight. Unfortunately, the character design has regressed to the point where it&#8217;s pretty much impossible to relate to him as anything other than a caricature.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Galerians: Rion<\/span>: The characters are hideous and the visuals are video-game cutscene level CG. I can&#8217;t think of any compelling reason to waste your time watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Galilei Donna<\/span>: This show is an utter mess. I have no idea what its trying to do, and highly suspect that it doesn&#8217;t either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gallforce: Eternal Story<\/span>: A quintessentially 80&#8217;s movie populated with an unlikable cast.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gallforce: The Revolution<\/span>: A re-imagining of the first movie that fixes some issues, makes others worse, and dumbs down the plot.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gallforce 3: Stardust War<\/span>: A half-hearted production overloaded with exposition.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gallforce: Chikyuu Shou<\/span>: Starts off as a continuation of the prequel only to quickly end up as a stale re-hash of the franchise as a whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gallforce: Shin Seiki Hen<\/span>: This is half <em>Megazone 23<\/em> and half a worse <em>Gallforce: Eternal Story<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gangsta.<\/span>: While this does some interesting things, the heart-of-gold prostitute brings it down and the superpower focus gets pretty ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">GARO: DIVINE FLAME<\/span>: Gratuitous action.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Garo: Guren no Tsuki<\/span>: A lifeless retelling of <em>Honoo no Kokuin<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri<\/span>: The assembled parts make for something that might have been good if it weren&#8217;t for the fact that everything about it is gratuitous in the extreme. The violence, nationalism, harem aspects, and protagonist glorification are all overdone (particularly in the second half).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gegege no Kitarou (2018)<\/span>: Very childish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio -Ars Nova-<\/span>: The first movie is mostly a refresher-style recap capped off by what looks a lot like a filler battle. The second movie continues from where the first left off and concludes the series in a rather painful and somewhat random manner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Clannad<\/span>: The characters are all fairly annoying and you&#8217;ve never really given a chance for them to grow on you. It basically highlights the series&#8217; flaws without bringing anything worthwhile to the table.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darouka: Orion no Ya<\/span>: A completely pointless sidestory adding nothing to the series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry<\/span>: Had it not specifically took place post-episode 285 this movie would&#8217;ve been merely average overall, as it is it&#8217;s actively harmful to the series as a whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Fate\/kaleid liner PRISMA\u2606ILLYA: Sekka no Chikai<\/span>: A particularly uninspired re-hash of <em>Fate\/Stay Night<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Kyoukai no Kanata: I&#8217;ll Be Here<\/span>: The first movie is a hack-job of a recap that reminds you of everything wrong with the TV series. The second is a sequel that retraces the prequel&#8217;s mistakes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei<\/span>: While the visuals are fine, the character behavior is flat-out wrong and reeks of fanfiction.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban PriPara: Minna Atsumare! Prism Tours<\/span>: I have no idea why I watched this in the first place. The musical numbers would have been good had it not been for that &#8216;making drama&#8217; gimmick, but sadly that was not to be. Another issue is how the middle segment&#8217;s four variations all feel like commercials.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Sword Art Online -Progressive- Kuraki Yuuyami no Scherzo<\/span>: Although the time skip at the start does it no favors, the real issue is that the guild-related plot developments are painfully forced and uninteresting besides.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gekijouban Trinity Seven: Eternity Library &#038; Alchemic Girl<\/span>: Arbitrary and doesn&#8217;t have much reason to exist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Generation of Chaos<\/span>: The first half would be watchable if it weren&#8217;t so unfailingly cringe-worthy in its attempts at humor. The second half is fairly generic and (purposely) somewhat unfinished.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Generation of Chaos III: Toki no Fuuin<\/span>: This actually tries to tell an entire animated story. It&#8217;s just not very good at it. Plus the story itself is nothing a veteran RPG player hasn&#8217;t seen hundreds of times before.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Generation of Chaos Next: Chikai no Pendant<\/span>: Half-assed animation and a painfully clich\u00e9 story with dialog to match.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Generator Gawl<\/span>: Starts off very unfocused and isn&#8217;t all that interesting once it gains focus halfway through. The build-up to the finale works well though and it does have a pretty cool revelation near the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Genesis of Aquarion<\/span>: This is sort-of like <em>Evangelion<\/em> with a bunch of ecchi and friendship-power nonsense mixed in. There&#8217;s really not much point in watching it as it doesn&#8217;t really do anything other series haven&#8217;t already done better. If you do decide to check it out, episodes seventeen through nineteen should be avoided since they&#8217;re just useless filler.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Genesis Surviver Gaiarth<\/span>: This is basically a post-apocalyptic version of <em>Record of Lodoss War<\/em>. Which is to say it&#8217;s your standard heroic tale that happens to have a bunch of robots in it instead of elves. Too retro for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki<\/span>: Suffers from a lack of both technical quality and believabity. <em>Ookami to Koushinryou<\/em>, <em>Maoyuu Maou Yuusha<\/em>, and even the slime isekai all do the kingdom economic thing better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Genocyber<\/span>: Reminded me of <em>Akira<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Genshiken<\/span>: I couldn&#8217;t progress beyond the first episode of each season. The characters at the beginning of the first season were just completely unlikeable, while the second felt like a slowly-paced slice of life series. It was far more awkward and embarrassing than amusing, which may be because I&#8217;m not particularly enamored of manga-related culture.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gensou Maden Saiyuuki<\/span>: Too little-boyie. Very few of the episodes made any sense and there doesn&#8217;t really seem to be a point to anything that&#8217;s happening. The second season (<em>Reload<\/em>)is slightly better than the first\u2026 but they&#8217;re both equally pointless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ghost Hound<\/span>: What could have been an interesting mystery series ends up bogged down with a number of ill-fitting fantasy aspects and questionable plot developments. Great soundtrack though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Giant Robo: The Animation<\/span>: Kind of ridiculous and ends up getting extremely serious about some very questionable things.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gift: Eternal Rainbow<\/span>: An otherwise generic tragicomic harem with some fairly heavy moralistic messaging.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gigantic Formula<\/span>: Seemed like just another generic mecha series. That&#8217;s sort of bad enough, but the real killer was the frightening animation style; the characters&#8217; eyes are horrific and doll-like.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gilgamesh<\/span>: Both the drawing style and animation were fairly terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gin no Guardian<\/span>: The only part of this series even remotely worth watching is the first episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ginban Kaleidoscope<\/span>: Good reaction-shots. Everything else is stereotypical.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden: Ougon no Tsubasa<\/span>: This movie throws the established character design of the franchise right out the window while seeming to do its level best to ripoff <em>Star Wars<\/em>. It is atrocious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince<\/span>: A collection of clich\u00e9s commonly found in shounen, mecha, and space opera series. Its various attempts at comedy also leave much to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ginga Sengoku Gun Yuuden Rai<\/span>: An extremely dated space opera with a setting similar to <em>Gintama<\/em>&#8216;s (samurais and spaceships). It&#8217;s more silly than interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ginga Senpuu Braiger<\/span>: Weirdly silly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gingitsune<\/span>: Don&#8217;t like Gintarou&#8217;s character archetype and most of the other characters are annoying in some way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Giniro no Olynssis<\/span>: I don&#8217;t think I can adequately describe exactly why I dislike this series. Perhaps it&#8217;s due to the bland character personalities? Perhaps it&#8217;s due to the <em>Power Rangers<\/em>-esque look of the Gardeners? Perhaps because Tia looks copywrite-infringingly like Lacus from <em>Gundam SEED<\/em>? It&#8217;s probably all of those combined.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gintama x Mameshiba<\/span>: A pretty pointless crossover.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Girlfriend (Kari)<\/span>: A painfully average school girl slice-of-life show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Girly Air Force<\/span>: Has some amusing interactions. Pretty dumb overall though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">GJ-bu<\/span>: Shockingly boring entry into the moe-club-comedy genre. Feels like it was made by hipsters for the express purpose of mocking those types of shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Glamorous Heroes<\/span>: If this has a redeeming quality, I certainly can&#8217;t see it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">God Eater: Prologue<\/span>: This promotion for the <em>God Eater<\/em> video game has some issues. While the animation is quite good and the human character design has no particular problems, the monster design is questionable and the&#8230; direction I guess&#8230; is choppy\/disjointed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Godzilla: Hoshi o Kuu Mono<\/span>: A combination of genres that seems an odd fit for <em>Godzilla<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Godzilla: Kaijuu Wakusei<\/span>: Awful, especially visually.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Godzilla: Kessen Kidou Zoushoku Toshi<\/span>: The best of the three <em>Godzilla<\/em> Anime movies, yet most of it barely manages to be average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gokicha!! Cockroach Girls<\/span>: Some &#8216;comedic&#8217; shorts about two anthropomorphic cockroaches that aren&#8217;t really all that amusing. The low quality animation doesn&#8217;t really do it any favors.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gokudou-kun Man&#8217;yuuki<\/span>: Too cartoonish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gokukoku no Brynhildr<\/span>: Something of a mess. Tries to be an ecchi-harem version of <em>Elfen Lied<\/em> and does not pull off the integration well at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Golden Time<\/span>: Great comedy, but the drama surrounding past-Banri drags it too far down. Past-Banri is a terrible character that should have stayed forgotten.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Golgo 13<\/span>: An average, ridiculous, B-movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Golgo 13: Queen Bee<\/span>: An average action\/drama that alternates between violence and sex.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Good Morning Althea<\/span>: A simple sci-fi mecha action movie with a bit of magic and romance thrown in. Nothing in particular about it stands out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gondola<\/span>: A pretty pointless short with VHS-level resolution.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gosenzo San&#8217;e<\/span>: While likely considered more Hentai than Anime by most, I think its focus on an actual plotline puts it more on the Anime side. Unfortunately that plotline is at turns overly dramatic and boring; not particularly horrifying at all. The characters are also fairly one-dimensional and single-minded\u2026 which I suppose should be expected from something that&#8217;s nominally a Hentai.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gosick<\/span>: A boring series with uninteresting characters. It seems to want to be a mystery but explains everything before it can become mysterious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Granbelm<\/span>: Feels like it started in the middle of a 24+ episode series, has mecha designs that resemble <em>SD Gundam<\/em>, and desperately needs to learn the importance of restraint.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Granblue Fantasy: The Animation<\/span>: The beautiful artwork can&#8217;t save the generic plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gravion<\/span>: A generic alien invasion storyline with some extremely cheesy giant combination robot fight scenes forced into every episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">GRAVITY DAZE The Animation: Ouverture<\/span>: Just some generic action designed to promote the second game in the series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Green Green (TV Series)<\/span>: An ecchi comedy whose supporting characters go way too far in expressing their perverted nature.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Grenadier: Hohoemi no Senshi<\/span>: An ecchier and slightly less serious version of <em>Trigun<\/em>. It looks nice, but that&#8217;s really the only aspect that might make it worth watching.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Grisaia no Kajitsu<\/span>: The first four episodes or so are a masterwork of comedy; the rest is a somewhat disjointed and semi-episodic mess. One particularly noteworthy feature of this series is that a lot of effort went into detailing the little background animations (e.g. rain hitting a window when there&#8217;s a storm outside).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Grisaia no Meikyuu<\/span>: Dull and uninteresting. Pretty much has to be watched before <em>Rakuen<\/em> though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Grisaia no Rakuen<\/span>: Not as disjointed as <em>Kajitsu<\/em>, but lacks the strong first third and its plot developments are even worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Guin Saga<\/span>: For whatever reason I forgot to add this after having watched it and only just noticed it on my AniDB listing. All I can recall off-hand is that I didn&#8217;t like the characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gun Frontier<\/span>: Horrible character design and fairly awful storyline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gundam Evolve<\/span>: A collection of short movies set in various <em>Gundam<\/em> series animated mostly with CGI. Only two or three of them are remotely worth watching.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gundam G no Reconguista<\/span>: A bit of a disjointed mess with characters who constantly talk past\/at one another instead of having converations.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gundress<\/span>: Sort of like (a serious) <em>Full metal Panic!<\/em> or <em>Ghost in the Shell S.A.C.<\/em>, only with an ensemble cast, dated animation, and a generic storyline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gunjou no Magmell<\/span>: The two parody episodes are horrible and the drama-centric concluding arc is extremely generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gunparade March<\/span>: A standard school-life romance hidden behind the trappings of an alien invasion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gurazeni<\/span>: The first half is decent, the second introduces dramatic and romance elements that don&#8217;t even remotely work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gurren Lagann Parallel Works 2<\/span>: <em>Sense of Wonder<\/em> and <em>Kittan Zero<\/em> are worth checking out. The rest\u2026 not so much.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Guyver: Out of Control<\/span>: A pretty awful action-centric B-movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gyakusatsu Kikan<\/span>: Extremely slow and not all that interesting besides.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gyakuten Saiban: Sono &#8220;Shinjitsu&#8221;, Igi Ari!<\/span>: The humor is childish and the spontaneous breakdowns are laughable in a bad way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Gyo<\/span>: Now I have not seen the <em>Human Centipede<\/em> movies, but I strongly suspect that the intent behind their production was the same as the one behind this. I also suspect that this is actually worse than them due to not having any reasons whatsoever for why what&#8217;s happening is happening.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">H2O: Footprints in the Sand<\/span>: A painfully generic eroge adaptation with next to no interesting features.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hacka Doll: The Animation<\/span>: Some of the parodies are pretty good; most are average at best.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hagane Orchestra<\/span>: Some of the episode have good bits in them, but most are self-admitted half-assed attempts at advertising\/<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haikyuu!! (OVAs): Essentially just filler episodes, one for each season.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haitai Nanafa<\/span>: A series of short comedy skits that rely mainly on slapstick-style humor. Some of the episodes work while some don&#8217;t and it ends up average. The artwork is certainly lovely though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haiyore! Nyaruani<\/span>: A series of flash-animated shorts relating to a moeification of the Cthulhu mythos that are mostly terrible. Only the second and last two are even mildly interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haiyore! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft<\/span>: Another series of (slightly longer) flash-animated moeified Cthulhu shorts. These manage to be slightly better overall with a more or less even split between terribleness and amusement.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hajime no Ippo: Champion Road<\/span>: A somewhat pointless movie that takes place directly after the first series ends.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hajime no Ippo: Kimura Tatsuya vs Mashiba Ryo<\/span>: A double-length filler episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hajimete no Gal<\/span>: Nothing much beyond a large amount of ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan<\/span>: The problem with this series is that it&#8217;s both extremely boring and has a terrible protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hakushaku to Yousei<\/span>: Though the protagonist&#8217;s reactions are amusing, everything else is pretty generic and the animation quality leaves much to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hakyuu Houshin Engi<\/span>: A rushed, choppy mess with a questionable genre balance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hal<\/span>: The first three quarters are a rather dull character study. The last quarter is somewhat dark, somewhat tragic&#8230; and utterly nonsensical thanks to an apparently spontaneous shift in perspective.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Halo Legends<\/span>: Artwork and animation are good for most of the episodes, but there&#8217;s nothing really here beyond some mindless action and one horrific attempt at comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Han-Gyaku-Sei Million Arthur<\/span>: While there&#8217;s some good comedy scattered about here the dramatic aspects leave much to be desired and the ecchi occasionally goes overboard.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku: Kinetograph<\/span>: This set of OVAs is basically just a lead-in for the source material. It ends shortly after introducing the various plot points and setting the stage for an improbable romance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hand Shakers<\/span>: Interesting visual style; painful plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hanoka<\/span>: A short series animated in flash that tries to be <em>Saikano<\/em> and fails.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Haou Daikei Ryuu Knight: Adeu Legend<\/span>: A basic hero journey type of story with cartoonish mecha design. Nothing all that interesting about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Happiness!<\/span>: You get precisely what you might expect from the title.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Happy Lesson (OVA)<\/span>: A below average harem-ish show that has absolutely no direction whatsoever. Its humor is all over the place and it misses far more than it connects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Happy Lesson (TV Series)<\/span>: An average harem-ish show that has a focus on extremely absurd situational comedy. Ignore the first episode though since it&#8217;s just a repeat of the first OVA episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hashiri Tsuzukete Yokattatte.<\/span>: Feels like a commercial.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hataraku Onii-san!<\/span>: Unsurprisingly banal.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Heavenly Sword<\/span>: This seems to be a sort of preview for the game. Each episode is only ~2 minutes long and the ending is a cliff-hanger designed to get you to want to play the game.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Heavy Metal L-Gaim<\/span>: While surprisingly interesting for its time period, it&#8217;s far too cartoony for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Heibai Wushang<\/span>: Some cool early action scenes are all this show has going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi<\/span>: Besides displaying graphic scenes of dismemberment\/torture I&#8217;m not really sure what the point of this series is. It&#8217;s not an action series, it&#8217;s not really a comedy (blood-soaked slapstick is pretty much all its got in that department), and there&#8217;s a distinct lack of commitment to the dramatic aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hello!! Kin&#8217;iro Mosaic<\/span>: The jokes\/setups come across as forced\/artificial.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hells Angels<\/span>: Has an interesting art style and a strange enough setting to be intriguing. Unfortunately, I despised the main character completely and utterly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hen Semi<\/span>: Tries to turn trivializing sexual harassment into a laughing matter. It does not succeed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Henkei Shoujo<\/span>: A handful of good reaction faces is all this has going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Henna Omamesan<\/span>: I don&#8217;t see of any reason to watch this short unless you&#8217;re already a fan of the comedian who appears in it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Here Comes the Three Angels: Tenshi no 3P!<\/span>: Overloaded with gratuitous loli-ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Here Is Greenwood<\/span>: A comedy with some romance that&#8217;s 1\/3 amusing, 1\/3 dull, and 1\/3 nonsensical.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hi-sCool! Seha Girls<\/span>: It&#8217;s just not very funny. Some sketches are pretty good, but most did not hit the mark for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">High Card<\/span>: The protagonist is really bad and the moralizing is painful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">High School DxD<\/span>: An empty shounen-esque ecchi series with absolutely nothing going for it. The fight scenes are terrible, the characters are terrible, and the plot is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">High School of the Dead \u2013 Drifters of the Dead<\/span>: An attempt at pure fanservice that manages to fail on every level.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaku: Outbreak<\/span>: Transplants <em>Higurashi<\/em>&#8216;s characters into a zombie-themed B-movie lacking the zombies. The open ending doesn&#8217;t help matters any.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hikari to Mizu no Daphne<\/span>: The most obivous issue this show has is the barely-there character uniforms. Other than that it&#8217;s primarily an episodic and mostly silly action show which happens to end with a slightly interesting short dramatic stretch of episodes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hikaru no Go<\/span>: Treats everything far too seriously.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Himawari!<\/span>: A ninja themed series with sci-fi elements that suffers from low production values and a chronic lack of focus. The second season has a few improvements, but not enough to make it watchable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Himegoto<\/span>: More perverted than funny.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Himote House<\/span>: Tokiyo really brings it down and the randomness doesn&#8217;t work very often.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hinomaru Zumou<\/span>: Generic sports shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hitori no Shita: The Outcast 2<\/span>: A tournament arc which drags on for far, far too long.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hitotsubu ni Kawaranu Ai o Komete.<\/span>: A candy commercial. A blatent one.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hokuto no Ken: Legend of Heroes<\/span>: Raou and Kenshiro&#8217;s final battle re-done in <em>Tekken<\/em>-like CGI. It&#8217;s okay, but there&#8217;s no real point in watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Holy Knight<\/span>: A version of <em>Rosario+Vampire<\/em> that&#8217;s more hentai-ish and less comedic. It ends up blatantly inferior to that series in all respects with the possible exception of character design.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Honto ni Atta! Reibai-sensei<\/span>: Pure undiluted randomness with low quality animation\/art. Not even a token nod toward cause and effect and completely lacking any sort of in-universe logic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hoshi no Samidare<\/span>: Horrifically fast pacing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Houkago no Pleiades<\/span>: There&#8217;s no reason to bother watching this if you&#8217;ve seen at least one magical girl series before. Wholly generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hunter x Hunter (2011)<\/span>: While the first arc is quite good, the next three range from terrible to so-so. Remarkably similar to <em>Naruto<\/em> in certain respects.\n<li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hunter x Hunter Movie: Phantom Rouge<\/span>: An average filler movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Bride<\/span>: The series has turned into a low-effort parody. Which is a shame because it&#8217;s extremely stylish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ICE<\/span>: This OVA series is like some unholy combination of <em>Wings of Rean<\/em>, <em>Noein<\/em>, <em>Karas<\/em>, and <em>Simoun<\/em>. While I liked three of those series, combining them all into a giant mish-mash is clearly not a good idea. The storyline is relatively easy to follow while the setting and character behavior is quite strange. It&#8217;s a curious series that&#8217;s unfortunately not all that interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou<\/span>: At first this is an otherwise average ecchi comedy that handles the genre stereotypes well. As it progresses beyond the sixth episode things get really weird, in a bad way, and it ends up a disjointed mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ichigeki Sacchuu!! Hoihoi-san<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure what this is trying to be exactly, but if it&#8217;s meant as a comedy\u2026 it&#8217;s not really all that amusing (besides one line toward the end). More head-scratching.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ichigo 100%<\/span>: Only watched the first episode; not my type of series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Iczer-Girl Iczelion<\/span>: While certainly better than (though notably different from) the earlier two installments of the franchise, it still never quite manages to rise above average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ICZER-ONE<\/span>: The artwork\/animation is the only redeeming quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Idol Memories<\/span>: Incredibly average and by-the-numbers.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Idolish Seven<\/span>: A pretty average male idol show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ikemen Sengoku: Toki o Kakeru ga Koi wa Hajimaranai<\/span>: Overly simplistic comedy style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Iketeru 2-ri<\/span>: Horrible animation quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ikkitousen: Great Guardians<\/span>: The ecchi reaches new highs while the storyline and battles get shoved to the wayside. Very dissapointing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku<\/span>: A dark fantasy series starring the most energetic and cheerfully idealistic character you could possibly create. So who exactly does this abomination oppose? A comic book styled mustache-twirling villain who happens to be literally insane. This series is trash unless you happen to be a bleeding-heart pro-lifer who desperately needs some self-affirmation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Imawa no Kuni no Arisu<\/span>: The few two episodes are okay and resemble <em>Gantz<\/em> a bit. The last epside is horrible and ruins everything.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Infinite Stratos: Encore<\/span>: While good by the standards of extraneous fanservice OVAs (characters behave as you would expect, no ecchi overload), there&#8217;s no real reason to watch this since it adds nothing to the series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Infinite Stratos 2: World Purge Hen<\/span>: Advances the plot slightly, but tries to fit far too much into a single episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ingress the Animation<\/span>: The game elements are a bad fit and the non-combat animation leaves something to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Interlude<\/span>: The series&#8217; title says it all; this is a rest stop between two points. A fairly dull rest stop populated with agitating characters. Though the bits and pieces shown of the before and after paint an intriguing picture of what could be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san<\/span>: Extremely forced. Tries way too hard.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Inukami!<\/span>: Strongly dislike the main character, who&#8217;s perverted in a far more creepy\/annoying way than an amusing way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Iria: Zeiram &#8211; The Animation<\/span>: Occasionally decent, but most often generic or worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu<\/span>: An inferior <em>Saikano<\/em> that replaces the realism with awkward school life stereotypes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu \u03a9<\/span>: This is supposed to be an overpowered protagonist show, yet here you have the protagonists struggling more often than not. It&#8217;s also rushed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni.<\/span>: A deliberate construct with a few good comedic bits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Isuca<\/span>: Starts out gory and then quickly becomes a cesspool of ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi<\/span>: The main love interest is only a loli for the first episode; that&#8217;s the only positive thing about this series that vaguely resembles <em>11 Eyes<\/em> with some <em>Dance in the Vampire Bund<\/em> influences.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Izumo: Takeki Tsurugi no Senki<\/span>: The harem is extraneous and the action scenes are bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Janguru wa Itsumo Hare nochi Gou<\/span>: Mildly amusing, but there wasn&#8217;t enough of a plot to keep me interested.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jashin-chan Dropkick<\/span>: The titular character is awful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jikan no Shihaisha<\/span>: Not good at being serious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure what exactly this movie should be labeled as\u2026 \u2018psychological drama&#8217; would fit I suppose. It&#8217;s vaguely interesting and resembles <em>Texhnolyze<\/em> with a higher dialog to symbology ratio, but is just a little too dull to appeal to me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">JK Meshi!<\/span>: Half talking about random factoids and\/or nothing, half talking about food ingredients. There&#8217;s little to no reason to watch this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Joker: Marginal City<\/span>: Quite dated and doesn&#8217;t really have any notable qualities besides showing two guys kissing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Joshi Kausei<\/span>: Feels unfinished. The gratuitous ecchi doesn&#8217;t help.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Joshikousei Nobunaga-chan!!<\/span>: Standard &#8216;man doesn&#8217;t understand girl things&#8217; and &#8216;person from the past doesn&#8217;t understand modern things&#8217; comedy with nearly non-existent animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Joshikousei: Girl&#8217;s High<\/span>: Creepy ecchi style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Joukamachi no Dandelion<\/span>: The whole setup\/setting is actively aggravating.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juubee-chan: Lovely Gantai no Himitsu<\/span>: Occasionally impressive action scenes is really all this has going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juuou Mujin no Fafnir<\/span>: While this has some cute moments in the beginning&#8230; they don&#8217;t last. For the most part it&#8217;s just a particularly subpar action-centric ecchi harem with rather terrible action scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juushin Enbu: Hero Tales<\/span>: First episode is pretty good, the rest is mostly generic shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Juushinki Pandora<\/span>: None of the plot developments feel natural.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kabukichou Sherlock<\/span>: An overload of eccentricity in which only the Moriarty subplot comes close to being intriguing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kachi Kachi Yama<\/span>: A weird little short movie fond of abstract and not so abstract imagery. Personally I just didn&#8217;t see the point.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kachou Ouji: Hard Rock Save the Space<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t really know what it wants to be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kado: Beyond Information<\/span>: Notably worse than the full series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kagerou Daze: In a Day`s<\/span>: The original version of events is far better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kagewani<\/span>: When it sticks to episodic monster stories it&#8217;s pretty decent; when it doesn&#8217;t it&#8217;s really bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kagewani: Shou<\/span>: It mostly abandons the episodic story structure here.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaijuu Girls: Ultra Kaijuu Gijinka Keikaku<\/span>: An average little parody show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel: Kyun Kyun Tokimeki Paradise!!<\/span>: An attempt at parodying stereotypical magical girl shows that ends up too close to what it&#8217;s parodying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kakegurui XX<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t do anything new; feels extraneous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi<\/span>: Ping-pongs between genres and foci with little rhyme or reason.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kakyuusei (TV Series)<\/span>: Starts out decent but starts falling apart once it becomes semi-episodic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kamichama Karin<\/span>: The comedy is the show&#8217;s only redeeming aspect.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou<\/span>: A complete mess of disparate elements glued together by a large amount of gratuitous fanservice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">K\u00e4mpfer<\/span>: Amusing, but far too ludicrous. <em>F\u00fcr die Liebe<\/em> is more of the same.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaname o<\/span>: While not technically a music video, in effect that&#8217;s exactly what it ends up being. Which is a shame since the music is so horrendous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kanashimi no Belladonna <\/span>: An Anime version of art-world concepts and elements meant for those who frequent gallery viewings.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kannazuki no Miko<\/span>: This seems to want to combine mecha action with drama\/romance and it just doesn&#8217;t work. The mecha portions feel overly forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kanojo ga Kanji o Sukina Riyuu.<\/span>: A curiously unsettling set of commercials with a romantic bent.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kantai Collection: KanColle<\/span>: The events and character interactions come across as especially contrived.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kantoku Fuyukitodoki<\/span>: Having the author depict herself as a baby makes watching this incredibly awkward.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kao An<\/span>: The character design is extremely cartoony and the dialog and character actions are awful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Karakuri Circus<\/span>: Rushed. Awful character behavior as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kare Baka: Wagahai no Kare wa Baka de R<\/span>: Half of it is exceptionally dull and the other half only occasionally works.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Karen Senki<\/span>: Nothing but mindless action.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou<\/span>: The animation style was a complete turnoff.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Karneval<\/span>: Has a couple good episodes, but it&#8217;s mostly rather dull.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Katekyo Hitman Reborn!<\/span>: The comedy parts are simplistic while the action parts are average at best. That it uses a stereotypical harem lead as its protagonist makes the action segments all the worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Katsugeki \/ Touken Ranbu<\/span>: Good action scenes with generic characters\/developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e<\/span>: Unimpressive action scenes and average at best battle shounen elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Katte ni Kaizou<\/span>: Similar to <em>Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei<\/em>, this series start out much more insane with a distinct vulgar bent to its comedy. By the fourth episode though it gets bogged down in trying to be <em>SZS<\/em> and ends up somewhat dull.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kaze no Na wa Amnesia<\/span>: A mishmash of parts from better movies\/shows.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Keijo!!!!!!!!<\/span>: A standard sports shounen married to a standard ecchi series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Keitai Shoujo<\/span>: A dating sim advertisement that just covers the love-interest introductions. It&#8217;s remarkably slow and slice of lifey.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kemonodzume<\/span>: Interesting concept, basically <em>Romeo &#038; Juliet<\/em> with a twist, but I hate the animation style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ken En Ken: Aoki Kagayaki<\/span>: Pretty generic story\/characters combined with deteriorating animation quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun<\/span>: Lacks comedic range.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Key the Metal Idol<\/span>: A slow pace combined with bizarre plot developments does not equal a good time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kiba<\/span>: An interesting setting, but generally rather mediocre and the protagonist is fairly annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kiddy Girl-and<\/span>: Similar in structure to <em>Kiddy Grade<\/em> but suffers from an overload of cheerfulness and badly named characters with a horrific dialog style that has them stating those names every single line.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam AGE: Memory of Eden<\/span>: The first movie is okay, but the second is a mess of time skips. It doesn&#8217;t help that the plot developments, geneological gimmick aside, are almost exactly as the ones in practically every <em>Gundam<\/em> ever. I kind of liked the <em>Macbeth<\/em>-like rationalising though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam MS IGLOO: 1-nen Sensou Hiroku<\/span>: The second episode is decent, but the other two are basically just tech demos.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam MS IGLOO: Mokushiroku 0079<\/span>: Very forced, with basically no redeeming qualities.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo<\/span>: The protagonist has a weird mixture of both timid and bold behavior traits while the plot developments are cringy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin<\/span>: Filled with awful, cartoonish character behavior.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi SD Gundam<\/span>: The first one is mostly decent, but the rest are just average-ish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi SD Gundam Gaiden<\/span>: A child-friendly fantasy quest styled thing with some <em>Gundam<\/em> visual trappings. It&#8217;s pretty clich\u00e9d.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi SD Gundam Mk-II<\/span>: The first episode is annoying, the second is just sort of there, and the third is decently amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi SD Gundam Mk-IV<\/span>: First episode is mildly amusing, the second is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi SD Gundam no Gyakushuu: Arashi o Yobu Gakuensai<\/span>: So-so.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kidou Senshi Victory Gundam<\/span>: This starts out such a disjointed, rushed mess that there&#8217;s no real reason to waste your time on it. That its comedy style and visuals are straight out of an 80&#8217;s production does it no favors either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kiitarou Shounen no Youkai Enikki<\/span>: The mood swings between slice of life and slapstick comedy don&#8217;t really work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kikou Souseiki Mospeada<\/span>: Has some interesting ideas\/themes, but it&#8217;s extremely dated and the kid is annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kikoushi Enma<\/span>: At first I thought this to be similar to <em>Kyougoku Natsuhiko: Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari<\/em>, but while the premise is the same the story-telling and characters aren&#8217;t as good. To make matters worse, in the second half they used some half-assed 3D rendering that looks like shit for the backgrounds.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kill Me Baby<\/span>: An unfunny version of <em>Fullmetal Panic? Fumoffu<\/em> that looks like a DVD extra.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimagure Orange Road<\/span>: The main character is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimagure Robot<\/span>: Only about four or five of these short stories end up interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Next Season~<\/span>: It&#8217;s okay, but doesn&#8217;t really hold a candle to the first season. Everyone getting a happy ending just seems to run contrary to what the series is about.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kimi no Na wa.<\/span>: The memory-loss and romance aspects don&#8217;t mix well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">KIMI to BOKU no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru SEISEN<\/span>: Has a similar feeling to <em>Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry<\/em>, but executed far worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">KimiKiss Pure Rouge<\/span>: The character interactions were painfully aggravating to watch. That most of the supporting cast are blatant stereotypes doesn&#8217;t help matters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">King&#8217;s Raid ~Ishi o Tsugumono-tachi~<\/span>: Starts out painfully generic for the most part. Ends up merely generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV<\/span>: Gorgeous visuals. That&#8217;s all it&#8217;s got going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kino&#8217;s Journey: Country of Illness<\/span>: While this has better animation than <em>In Order to Do Something<\/em>, the storyline is less interesting. The \u2018climactic&#8217; confrontation also felt forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kino&#8217;s Journey: In Order to Do Something<\/span>: This depicts Kino&#8217;s first adventure. I don&#8217;t really like young Kino and the animation style seems low-quality.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kinsou no Vermeil<\/span>: Generic ecchi combined with a lackluster voice acting choice for Vermeil.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kira Kira 5th Anniversary Live Anime: Kick Start Generation<\/span>: Awful, extremely low-quality animation. Just get the OST if the music interests you.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet<\/span>: The action elements don&#8217;t fit well and the ecchi is often weirdly forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kiss Dum: Engage Planet<\/span>: I don&#8217;t remember why I dropped this. I suspect the reason was due to either it making no sense or being particularly boring, as thinking back I only recall a mysterious artifact, someone getting stabbed, and releasing someone from jail to fight something.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kiss\u00d7Sis (2010)<\/span>: This series is nothing more than concentrated fanservice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku<\/span>: A slightly below average schoolgirl sketch comedy with a seal theme.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kite Liberator<\/span>: The action scenes are decent (if gratuitous) and the visual quality is high. Everything else is abysmal.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kobayashi ga Kawaisugite Tsurai!!<\/span>: The first episode is basically just a promo; seemingly a story about two romances that appear to be shoujo\/shounen-ai when they aren&#8217;t (due to crossdressing). The second episode is about animal-human bodyswapping and has next to nothing to do with crossdressing, throwing everything into question.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koi to Uso<\/span>: Some amusing character interactions brought down by a terrible setting with questionable plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koi wa Ameagari no You ni<\/span>: The love interest is just plain sad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koi-ken! Watashitachi Anime ni Nacchatta!<\/span>: A short pseudo-idol series that&#8217;s empty and lacking pretty much any meaning or value.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kokuhaku<\/span>: A low quality and fairly pointless yandere-focused short.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo<\/span>: A semi-friendship based dating-sim\/harem adaptation that has neither good points nor bad points.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu<\/span>: A rather unconventional movie focused on a couple of existential questions as well as a yaoi-ish relationship. The ending sort of ruined it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!<\/span>: An ecchi\/comedy harem that quickly wears out its welcome. There&#8217;s nothing to it beyond some cute girls spontaneously falling all over the MC in increasingly unlikely manners.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kono Oto Tomare!<\/span>: The overload of annoying clich\u00e9s in the first like 5 minutes was too much.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koroshiya-san: The Hired Gun<\/span>: Has a couple funny moments but overall not worth the time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kotetsu no Daibouken<\/span>: A heavy ecchi action\/comedy\/drama. The first episode is mildly entertaining while the second is just a waste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koukaku Kidoutai Arise<\/span>: Sends conflicting signals and doesn&#8217;t really seem to know what it wants to be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koukaku Kidoutai Arise: Alternative Architecture<\/span>: A slightly re-ordered version of the above that includes two new episodes which aren&#8217;t any better than the previous eight.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koukaku Kidoutai Nyuumon Arise<\/span>: The 4th through 13th episodes feature what appear to be amusing workplace shorts (&#8220;appear&#8221; because I have yet to see a subbed version). The rest are glorified DVD extras\/commercials.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koukaku Kidoutai S.A.C. 2nd GIG: Individual Eleven<\/span>: A condensed version of <em>Stand Alone Complex<\/em>&#8216;s second season that comes across as an inferior <em>Patlabor: The Movie 2<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kouryuu no Mimi: Mina no Shou<\/span>: A fairly painful pair of movies that consist of one ludicrous happening after another.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Koutetsu Tenshi Kurumi Zero<\/span>: The first two episodes set the stage for an interesting romantic drama. The last buries it all with pretentious philosophy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai<\/span>: An insane amount of exposition.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuiba<\/span>: The setting is interesting, but the movie only uses it to tell the first part of what seems to be an exceeding generic tale.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kujibiki Unbalance (TV Series)<\/span>: Throws a ton of ideas at the wall hoping one will stick, never staying with one long enough to allow the audience to form an attachment. Also has an insufferable mad scientist-type central character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuro no Shoukanshi<\/span>: The protagonist is pretty annoying and the initial pacing is much too fast.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kurogane Communication<\/span>: The melodrama gets out of hand a bit too often.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuroko no Baske: Baka ja Katenai no yo!<\/span>: A pointless filler episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuromajo-san ga Tooru!!<\/span>: Begins with some amusing episodic stories, then starts introducing uninteresting\/annoying multipart stories. Eventually even the episodic ones come to feel forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuroshitsuji<\/span>: A comedy and drama\/horror hybrid heavy on the comedy. I did not like the comedic style at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan!<\/span>: Has some similarities to <em>Kaze no Stigma<\/em>. Is utterly generic overall. The bonus OVA might be worth watching if you like bonding-with-animals stories.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyokugen Dasshutsu ADV: Zennin Shibou Death<\/span>: A short promotional movie for a visual novel that has a setup like <em>Danganronpa<\/em> and <em>Saw<\/em>. No point in watching unless you&#8217;re about to check out the source material.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes<\/span>: The introduction of a rival was unnecessary, and all the related interactions are terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyou no Asuka Show<\/span>: A gratuitous fanservice overload not helped in the slightest by the protagonist&#8217;s creepy facial design.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyoukai no Kanata<\/span>: The conversational humor and action scenes are great while the ecchi style and rushed conclusion leave much to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyokou Suiri: In\/Spectre<\/span>: A supernatural detective series in the vein of <em>Gosick<\/em> or <em>Dantalian no Shoka<\/em> that curiously concerns itself with obfuscating the truth rather than revealing it. The relatively sparse romantic comedy is pretty much its only enjoyable aspect.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyouran Kazoku Nikki<\/span>: The main character is fun, but the series in general is too absurd.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora<\/span>: A school-life show filled with bishounens whose female main character is looking for her &#8216;prince&#8217;. Not my thing at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ladyspo<\/span>: Nonexistant animation combined with gratuitous ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Landlock<\/span>: While the ending contained an interesting development, for the most part this is an extremely uneven and haphazard movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lapis Re:LiGHTs<\/span>: Extremely generic character behavior coupled with conflicting setting premises result in a bad time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari<\/span>: A semi-random parody series which usually strikes out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Legend of Lemnear: Kyokuguro no Tsubasa Valkisas<\/span>: The first half is pretty bad while the second half is pretty generic 80&#8217;s action. Good artwork\/animation though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Legend of the Glass Fleet<\/span>: A Sci-Fi\/Fantasy series that can neither keep its own in-universe mechanics straight nor be even remotely interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Legend of the Millennium Dragon<\/span>: Wants to be <em>Princess Mononoke<\/em>. Manages to be vaguely similar yet notably worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lemon Angel<\/span>: The quality of these music videos varies greatly, but very rarely ever rises above average at best.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lemon Angel Project<\/span>: The plotline isn&#8217;t all that bad, but the choice of voice actors is horrible and ruins any sense of believability or immersion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Let&#8217;s Nupu Nupu<\/span>: A remarkably crass gag comedy whose gags lose pretty much all their humor in the second half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Licensed by Royal<\/span>: Starts off as a goofy secret agent show only to turn into a sincere political drama by the halfway point. Neither half is particularly good.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lightning Trap: Leina &#038; Laika<\/span>: The set-up would be more entertaining if the characters and plot developments were actually tailored to it. As it stands it&#8217;s just a random mess of ill-fitting elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Linebarrels of Iron<\/span>: Good mecha combat scenes, uninspired everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Litchi De Hikari Club<\/span>: Eight two\/three-minute episodes of randomness. The bad kind of randomness.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Little Busters!<\/span>: Wasn&#8217;t a fan of the baseball theme and the never-ending stream of female characters with hidden problems to be fixed got old fast.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Little Busters! Refrain<\/span>: Has something like two good scenes and a seemingly neverending amount of really stupid plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Long Riders!<\/span>: The ecchi aspects are atrocious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lord of Vermilion: Guren no Ou<\/span>: The character interactions and plot developments reek of artifice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lost Song<\/span>: Though this has a couple of particularly noteworthy scenes worth checking out, for the most part it&#8217;s a generic fantasy tale.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lost Universe<\/span>: Its only really redeeming feature is Canal, and she gets canceled out by Millie and the mediocre heavy-drama of the second half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Loups=Garous<\/span>: This movie is what you get if you take <em>Scooby Doo<\/em>, place it in a high-tech over-securitized setting, and then throw in some <em>Garden of Sinners<\/em> just for the hell of it. It doesn&#8217;t work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Love Live! School Idol Project (2014)<\/span>: This second season is an episodic mess. The visuals are still high-quality, but basically everything else has taken a massive hit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Love Live! School Idol Project OVA<\/span>: The actual OVA is kind of weird and not very interesting at all. The music video that comes with it is pretty good though (assuming you like idol J-pop).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Love Live! Sunshine!!<\/span>: Feels far too much like a re-tread\/alternate version of the first season.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Luck &#038; Logic<\/span>: The terminology is annoying, the characters aren&#8217;t particularly interesting, and the storyline is pretty generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Luger Code 1951<\/span>: The animation and character design are both pretty bad, the former being a death sentence for an action-focused work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lupin Sansei: Babylon no Ougon Densetsu<\/span>: Two different movies combined into one with a terrible ending tacked on.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lupin Sansei: Bye-Bye Liberty Kiki Ippatsu!<\/span>: Contains both supernatural elements and a child character, two things <em>Lupin<\/em> does not handle well at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lupin Sansei: Ikiteita Majutsushi<\/span>: A movie focused on Pycal. Pycal is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Lupin Sansei: Part 5<\/span>: Starts out decent enough only to get progressively worse as it advances.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane<\/span>: Has quite a number of similarities with <em>Evangelion<\/em>, but suffers from both having a cast of mostly unlikable characters and going too far in a goofy and overblown psychotic direction.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross 7<\/span>: Drags on for far too long only to finished rushed. Basara is also an extremely annoying character whenever he doesn&#8217;t have someone else to play off of.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross 7 Encore<\/span>: The third OVA is decent and shows how Mylene joined the band, the other two are meh and don&#8217;t add much of anything.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross 7: Ginga ga Ore o Yonde Iru!<\/span>: A filler movie.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross Delta<\/span>: Tries to do too much, some of which was completely unnessisary, and ends up not doing much of anything particularly well. Freyja is pretty great though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross Dynamite 7<\/span>: Purestrain Basara, naked loli, and <em>Moby Dick<\/em>. It&#8217;s pretty bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross FB7: Ore no Uta o Kike!<\/span>: Essentially just a choppy recap of <em>Macross 7<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Macross II: Lovers Again<\/span>: Of average quality for an older series. Not worth watching unless you really like that sort of thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Madan no Ou to Vanadis<\/span>: Such a waste. The first three episodes are great and set up expectations that are promptly shattered by some of the most disjointed storytelling I&#8217;ve ever had the misfortune of encountering. At least the web specials are amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">M\u00e4rchen M\u00e4dchen<\/span>: A nonsensical setting combined with severe technical issues.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maetel Legend<\/span>: One of the prequels to the <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> series. The first episode is relatively decent though incredibly dated, the second focuses more on Promethium and is notably worse as a result.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (OVAs)<\/span>: Came across as pretty lackluster all-around; the characters aren&#8217;t particularly engaging and the events are rather standard. For some reason I actually enjoyed the TV version though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Gaiden<\/span>: Great visuals. Lackluster everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magic Knight Rayearth<\/span>: While I like Hikaru&#8217;s character design along with the climax of the first arc and Primera, there&#8217;s far too much sillyness\/filler in the first part and drawn-out drama in the second.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magical Canan<\/span>: An unnotable magical girl series. The first season of <em>Nanoha<\/em> has a similar sequence of events and pulls it off much better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Detonation<\/span>: Far, far too many ludicrous plot twists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Reflection<\/span>: Nearly the entire cast behaves like idiots and the animation quality is a bit uneven.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahoraba ~Heartful days~<\/span>: Too ridiculous. Far too much of the harem genre without anything to balance it out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahoromatic<\/span>: A fanservice-laden maidcentric series. I&#8217;m not particularly fond of either of those two things.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Sensei Negima!: Anime Final<\/span>: This movie is half generic harem hijinks, and half pointless apocalyptic scenerio.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Sensei Negima!: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai<\/span>: The first episode was pretty good (if a bit random), but the remaining three jumped around far too much while accomplishing far too little.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Senshi Louie<\/span>: A <em>Slayers!<\/em>-like series that started off really good, but eventually lost its charm by the time it concluded.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Sensou<\/span>: The setting is nonsensical, the character behavior is unfathomable, and the storyline is uninspired. Nice VFX though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Ore<\/span>: A random-style parody that misses a bit more often than it hits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desu kara. Second Season<\/span>: The series becomes to much of a slice of life here. The attempt at drama doesn&#8217;t work very well either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Site<\/span>: Its attempts at comic relief also almost universal failures.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Sonico Magica<\/span>: A parody of <em>Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica<\/em>&#8216;s OP sequence. It&#8217;s okay, there&#8217;s just not really any point in watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Taisen<\/span>: Good animation, but too many generic magical girl attributes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka<\/span>: The ecchi ruins it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujo? Naria Girls<\/span>: A hideous improvisational show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujotai Alice<\/span>: Interesting animation style and character design, but the storyline really rubbed me the wrong way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Shoujotai Alice: the Adventure<\/span>: The first episode is good and the last is okay. The rest have assorted issues ranging from excessive moralizing to uneven pacing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora<\/span>: Character behavior is fine, character design is lacking and the plotline doesn&#8217;t seem to know what it wants to be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Tsukai Tai (OVAs)<\/span>: The ecchi comedy starts out amusing and gets somewhat exhausting as the series progresses. Everything else is pretty average with the exception of manga club girl, who&#8217;s personality is awful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Tsukai Tai! (TV)<\/span>: Turns into a relatively generic slice of life.\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mahou Yuugi<\/span>: A 3DCG movie alternative to the TV series. It goes in a notably more serious direction and is quite incomplete.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maji de Otaku na English! Ribbon-chan<\/span>: This first <em>Ribbon-chan<\/em> series reminds me of <em>Milky Holmes<\/em> in its humor style. It&#8217;s not bad, but it&#8217;s definitely not good either (except for the seventh episode). The English-learning segments scattered throughout are simply annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maji de Otaku na English! Ribbon-chan: Eigo de Tatakau Mahou Shoujo The TV<\/span>: The sequel is primarily focused on meta-jokes about the Anime itself and with the exception of the fifth episode isn&#8217;t particularly amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Majuu Sensen: The Apocalypse<\/span>: A very bloody monster of the week show that features some godawful dialog\/subs.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Majuu Senshi Luna Varga<\/span>: Pretty average old-styled fantasy OVAs. Some good comedic bits here and there though and some decent enough action scenes if you&#8217;re looking for something <em>Godzilla<\/em>-ish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist<\/span>: If you like shounen ai, predominately male casts, and &#8216;sudden paranormal X appearance&#8217; type of shows then this may be watchable. Otherwise&#8230;.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Makeruna!! Aku no Gundan!<\/span>: The protagonist is real bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Malice@Doll<\/span>: A desolate horror series that visually resembles stop-motion animation (although it&#8217;s full CGI). Would&#8217;ve been watchable if it weren&#8217;t for its random action and sex scenes. The ending didn&#8217;t do it any favors either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mame Neko<\/span>: Mostly average comedy with a few particularly good bits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku o!<\/span>: An unbalanced romance that, while amusing, suffers from some infuriating plotlines.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mangirl!<\/span>: Rushed mini-episodes in which shit just happens as an excuse to provide information regarding the manga publishing industry.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha II<\/span>: Why does this exist? How did things end up like this? No one knows, not even the creators.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maou-sama, Retry!<\/span>: A bottom of the barrel <em>Overlord<\/em>.\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Marginal #4: Kiss kara Tsukuru BiGBANG<\/span>: Average and uninteresting all-around.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Marimo no Hana: Saikyou Butouha Shougakusei Densetsu<\/span>: Awful, awful VA choice and voice acting in general.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mars of Destruction<\/span>: There are some shows that can tell a full story in a half hour, and some that cannot. This one cannot. The stilted dialog and ultra-low quality animation certainly don&#8217;t help matters any.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Martian Successor Nadesico<\/span>: Seemed like a much less serious version of <em>RahXephon<\/em>. I&#8217;m not generally a fan of mecha series to begin with, and with this lacking both a decent storyline and believable characterizations it just fell flat.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mass Effect: Paragon Lost<\/span>: A generic squad-centric action-focused movie. Notable for not meshing well with the events portrayed in the games and having badly drawn Krogan.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Masuda Kousuke Gekijou Gag Manga Biyori 3<\/span>: As opposed to  the first season, I only liked about half of the segments in this one. The absurdity is dialed up a notch and as a result each sketch is either really good or completely uninteresting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mayoiga<\/span>: A <em>Danganronpa<\/em>\/<em>Higurashi<\/em> hybrid with bad CG monsters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Maze Bakunetsu Jikuu (OVAs)<\/span>: A far ecchier\/sillier version of the TV series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mazinkaizer SKL<\/span>: Looks great, but it&#8217;s nothing but mindless action with a nonsense plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Me-gumi no Daigo<\/span>: Appears to want to be serious, but its protagonist&#8217;s behavior comes off more as a parody.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Medaka Box<\/span>: The first season is semi-episodic and fairly amusing when it&#8217;s not preaching, unfortunately it does a lot of preaching. The second is story-driven and more of a particularly violent shounen battle series. Both are reminiscent of <em>Kill la Kill<\/em>, but nowhere near as entertaining.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Megazone 23<\/span>: Very 80&#8217;s, this throws plot developments and scene changes at you with little rhyme or reason.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Megazone 23 Part II: Himitsu Kudasai<\/span>: While not as slap-dash as the prequel, it still ends up fairly ridiculous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Megazone 23 III<\/span>: Inherits aspects from both prequels, resulting in something worse than either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Melody of Oblivion<\/span>: The Greek Gods that the Humans fight against are called \u2018Monsters&#8217;, the group of humans that help the monsters are called the \u2018Monster Union&#8217;, the main characters yell out poker hands as their attacks (Flush, Straight Flush, etc.), and the enemies generally take the form of giant robotic versions of harmless animals\u2026 like a chicken. The main storyline idea was decent, but the execution was an utter failure.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Metropolis<\/span>: Gorgeous artwork with atrocious pacing. I don&#8217;t really like the character design either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mezzo DSA<\/span>: Fun characters, unimpressive everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Miami Guns<\/span>: The parodies are more amusing than not, but the main plot is really bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Midnight Eye Gokuu II<\/span>: Unlike its prequel, this movie&#8217;s over-the-topness results in more exasperation than entertainment.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">MILPOM\u2605<\/span>: Go watch <em>Tesagure!<\/em> instead.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Minami-ke<\/span>: Far too much of the slice of life genre for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mini Toji<\/span>: Mostly generic school life segments\/gags.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">MiniPato<\/span>: These chibi <em>Patlabor<\/em> short movies have a strong educational bent to them, ending up surprisingly dull as a result.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Minna Atsumare! Falcom Gakuen SC<\/span>: Possibly because I&#8217;m not familiar with most of the characters, but this season just didn&#8217;t connect.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Miss Monochrome the Animation<\/span>: Good ED, average at best everything else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mitsuwano<\/span>: An average slice of life OVA reminiscent of <em>Hanasaku Iroha<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam &#8211; Char&#8217;s Counter Attack<\/span>: Both the pacing and ending are atrocious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam 00: A Wakening of the Trailblazer<\/span>: An otherwise standard <em>Gundam<\/em> thing that just so happens to feature aliens. What knocks it down into below-average territory is the abrupt and fairly random ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam 00 \u2013 Second Season<\/span>: A stale rehash of all earlier <em>Gundam<\/em> series. A satire without humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam F91<\/span>: Extraordinarily cheesy, tons of random time jumps, and a bizarre ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: MSV ASTRAY<\/span>: Two shorts that don&#8217;t serve much purpose.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT: BANDIT FLOWER<\/span>: Something of a mess of disjointed ideas and concepts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam UC: A Phantom World<\/span>: A simple advertisement projected on the side of a building.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam X<\/span>: Too much newtype pseudo-religious bullshit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Gundam: Twilight Axis<\/span>: Overly rushed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation<\/span>: I suspect I didn&#8217;t like this because I had already seen <em>Wing<\/em>, <em>SEED<\/em>, and <em>00<\/em>. Everything that occurred here was done better in those series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mokke<\/span>: Too laid-back for my taste.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Momo Kyun Sword<\/span>: Might have been a decent series if it weren&#8217;t for the ecchi overload.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monochrome Factor<\/span>: Average action, childish comedy, and I&#8217;m not particularly fond of shounen-ai to begin with.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou<\/span>: Far too much softporn-style fanservice. That the characters don&#8217;t have much in the way of personality also hurts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monster Sonic! D&#8217;Artagnyan no Idol Sengen<\/span>: Average idol show with a pretty good episode 0.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Monster Strike<\/span>: As a random comedy this show is actually pretty good. Unfortunately, it eventually turns in a generic battle shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mou Hitotsu no Mirai o.<\/span>: Nice artwork and the AI character is cute, but the &#8216;message&#8217; and character behavior is pretty dumb.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mozaika<\/span>: An average 80&#8217;s show that was curiously released in the 90&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Muhyo to Roji no Mahouritsu Soudan Jimusho<\/span>: Clashing genres and arbitrary-seeming conflict resolution. Jirou is also a terrible character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Musekinin Galaxy\u2606Tylor<\/span>: Terrible in every way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Musekinin Kanchou Tylor (OVAs)<\/span>: A collection of so-so side-stories intertwined with the <em>Chijou yori Eien ni<\/em> OVAs.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Musekinin Kanchou Tylor: Tokubetsu Hen<\/span>: A re-hash. Doesn&#8217;t add anything to the series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mushishi<\/span>: This takes an episodic approach similar to <em>Jigoku Shoujo<\/em> only with none of the relevancy. Each episode has no effect on the later ones, which makes each one more or less pointless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Mushishi Special Episode: Hihamu Kage<\/span>: Basically identical to the parent series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">NAMI<\/span>: A little arthouse type of movie featuring a (live) naked woman and dead fish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san OVA<\/span>: Too much fetish pandering and not enough non-ecchi comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Namu Amida Butsu! Rendai Utena<\/span>: Wholly generic daily life sort of thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nana Toshi Monogatari: Hokkyokukai Sensen<\/span>: Fanservice for those that love wargames and military maneuvering.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanae Chrono Presents: PEACE MAKER Kurogane<\/span>: A host of structural issues coupled with no resolution.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanatsu no Bitoku<\/span>: Awful animation and an overload of softporn-style ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu<\/span>: Events no longer feel even remotely natural.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi<\/span>: Just a transitional piece to tie the two main seasons together.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nanbaka<\/span>: The humor is good, but the battle shounen aspects are pretty dull and uninteresting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nandaka Velonica<\/span>: Very cartoony. Might be decent for a younger audience.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nansensu Monogatari Daiichi-hen: Sarugashima<\/span>: Too much time is spent showing a whole bunch of nothing happening. The animation style is also a bit odd; I almost thought I was watching a flash animation at first.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Naruto<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure what people see in this series. Sure the fight scenes and character design are interesting, but the plotline and dialog are terrible and overly clich\u00e9d.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Naruto Movies<\/span>: Worse than the series. <em>Land of Snow<\/em> is the best of the bunch\u2026 though that&#8217;s not saying much.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden<\/span>: Despite not liking Rock lee, I found the first episode slightly amusing. The next couple however were awful enough to drop it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Naruto: Shippuuden<\/span>: Better than <em>Naruto,<\/em> in that the plotline and dialog have been cleaned up, but also worse thanks to the seeming adoption of <em>.hack\/\/SIGN<\/em>\u2018s patented \u2018focus on one scene for minutes on end without anything happening&#8217; storyboard style. The Invasion of Pain arc is pretty good though and the second half of the World War arc is decently entertaining.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Naruto: Shippuuden the Movie<\/span>: Roughly on par with the first <em>Naruto<\/em> movie (<em>Land of Snow<\/em>).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Natsuiro no Sunadokei<\/span>: This short two-episode Anime is sort of like an upbeat version of <em>Kimi ga Nozomu Eien<\/em>. It suffers both from feeling rushed and from some fairly terrible characterizations.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nazotokine<\/span>: A mix of disparate elements that do not work as a whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Neo Angelique ~Abyss~<\/span>: I&#8217;m not sure whether it was the predominately male cast or the questionable fight scenes that caused me to dislike this series. Perhaps it was both.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Neppuu Kairiku Bushi Road<\/span>: This is both badly constructed and has an awful main villain.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Netsuzou Trap -NTR-<\/span>: Far too rushed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">New Game!!<\/span>: Very similar to the prequel, only far more disjointed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">NEW Panty &#038; Stocking with garterbelt<\/span>: Lacks the highbrow gloss that made the prequel&#8217;s juvenile perversion tolerable. An attempt to recapture an experiment in animation that falls fall short of the mark.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nexus<\/span>: A music video for the ClariS song of the same name. It uses recap footage from the <em>Ore no Imouto<\/em> Anime mixed with some terribly animated avatar stand-ins for the vocalists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nihiki no Sanma (1967)<\/span>: A weird little movie that doesn&#8217;t really seem to have anything going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nihon Art Animation Eiga Senshuu (Vol. 1): A collection of mostly monochrome short movies from the 1920&#8217;s to 1950&#8217;s. A few are interesting (<em>Baguda-jou no Touzoku<\/em>, <em>Kogane no Hana<\/em>, <em>Kumo no Ito<\/em>), most are average, and some are rather bad (<em>Saiyuuki: Son Gokuu Monogatari<\/em>, <em>Haru no Uta<\/em>, <em>Kaeru San Yuushi<\/em>, <em>Hana to Chou<\/em>).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nil Admirari no Tenbin<\/span>: An overload of melodrama sinks this otherwise interesting show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nineteen 19<\/span>: A dated rocky relationship story. It&#8217;s not bad, there&#8217;s just not any good reason to watch it beyond a well-fitting club music insert song.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ningyo no Kizu<\/span>: The story comes across as overly contrived.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ninja Nonsense<\/span>: Its title is remarkably accurate. The first half of the first episode was funny, but the situation became exhaustive rather quickly. May also be referred to as \u2018<em>2\u00d72=Shinobuden<\/em>\u2018.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ninja Slayer from Animation<\/span>: Starts out amusing only to become exasperating. Not fond of all the ecchi that starts showing up either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nisekoi<\/span>: Most of the comedy felt more overwrought than funny and I wasn&#8217;t really fond of either of the two central protagonists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nisekoi OAD<\/span>: The first half of the first episode is good, as is the ending of the second episode. The rest ranges from average to annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nishi no Yoki Majo: Astraea Testament<\/span>: The first half is interesting while the second half badly fumbles everything with a bunch of random plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nobunaga no Shinobi<\/span>: The history lessons are pretty dull.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nobunaga no Shinobi ~Ise Kanegasaki Hen~<\/span>: Same as above.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nobunagun<\/span>: A fairly dumb show good for little beyond mindless action.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza<\/span>: The ecchi and harem elements that dragged the first season down completely inundate this one.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart<\/span>: The comedy&#8217;s a bit more miss than hit.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Norn 9: Norn + Nonetto<\/span>: Starts out interesting but quickly starts trying to do too many things at once&#8230; and none of them competently.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Null Peta<\/span>: Elder appreciation propaganda.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nyanbo!<\/span>: I don&#8217;t like how a significant portion of it is live footage, and the comedy style is pretty generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Nyanpire<\/span>: A series of shorts that focus on a kitten who was turned into a vampire and the cutesy things it does afterward. I wasn&#8217;t feeling the alleged cuteness and the parts that I suspect were trying to be comedic weren&#8217;t particularly amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Oda Nobuna no Yabou<\/span>: Awful protagonist. Awful storyline concept.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Odin: Koushi Hansen Starlight<\/span>: <em>Battleship Yamato<\/em>, only more nonsensical.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo<\/span>: The protagonist is extremely bad and most of the plot developments are painfully dumb.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Omae wa Mada Gunma o Shiranai<\/span>: The lack of animation hurts and the educational aspects are on the heavy-handed side.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">One Off<\/span>: Has some cute girls doing cute things. Unfortunately, the things they are doing are incredibly uninteresting. Also has a terrible &#8216;Australian&#8217; character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">One Piece<\/span>: Terrible character design and extremely cartoonish besides.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Onsen Yousei Hakone-chan<\/span>: Falls apart about halfway through when it tries to introduce an actual plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ookami Kakushi<\/span>: This is like a really boring, mostly nonsensical, and not creepy at all version of <em>Higurashi<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki<\/span>: The furry aspects are offputting and the rest is pretty generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon<\/span>: Not sure if this is supposed to be a parody or not. Either way it&#8217;s unwatchably cringy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore ga Suki na no wa Imouto Dakedo Imouto ja <\/span>: The ecchi level is out of hand and the technical quality is lacking.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai 2<\/span>: This second season of <em>Oreimo<\/em> starts off on the wrong foot, recovers nicely in the eighth episode, and then falls flat on its face for the final stretch. Despite wanting to like it and enjoying certain aspects, for the most part it just isn&#8217;t worth watching.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ore o Suki na no wa Omae dake ka yo<\/span>: Reeks of artifice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ORGUSS 02<\/span>: Not as much fun as the prequel and the ending is somewhat insane.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Osomatsu-san: Ouma de Kobanashi<\/span>: More horse-racing advertisement than comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Otogizoshi<\/span>: Very nice animation style, but I just couldn&#8217;t get into the story. If you really like samurai or historical series you may enjoy it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shite shimatta&#8230;<\/span>: I don&#8217;t like the protagonsit much and the way she&#8217;s consistently rewarded for being oblivious is kind of annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru<\/span>: Relatively average &#8216;rich girl&#8217;s academy&#8217; setting that includes a random ghost-girl character for no discernible reason.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Futari no Elder<\/span>: Just felt generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Otona no Bouguya-san<\/span>: Not much variety in the jokes and the ending doesn&#8217;t really match up with what came before. The three web specials should be avoided at all cost.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ou Dorobou Jing<\/span>: Has a serious problem with repetitive action scenes and annoying supporting characters. The protagonist is good though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ousama Game: The Animation<\/span>: Both the story and characters are exceedingly dumb.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Outbreak Company<\/span>: Juggles serious drama, preachy heavy-handed anti-caste messaging, and awkward otaku culture. It&#8217;s a bad mix.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Overlord<\/span>: Most of the characters are remarkably annoying to one degree or another.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Overlord (Movies)<\/span>: Pretty much the same as the series. They cut out a fairly significant subplot however, which effectively counteracts anything gained from the streamlined presentation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Overman King Gainer<\/span>: The dialog is awful and everything seems to happen at random.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Owari no Seraph<\/span>: The protagonist is awful and the events are painfully generic. Contains a pretty great supporting character though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">OZ<\/span>: A ridiculously bad two-part 80&#8217;s movie that was released in the 90&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ozma<\/span>: This has some similarities to <em>Harlock<\/em> and, while not bad exactly, never quite manages to overcome its generic protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ozmafia!!<\/span>: A prequel to its source material that comes across like a set of BD-extras.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Pastel Memories<\/span>: A few pretty good parodies mixed with a bunch of dull ones.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Peace Maker Kurogane<\/span>: Aside from the well-animated action scenes nothing in particular stands out about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Peaceful Times (F02) Petit Film<\/span>: A music video featuring some unused <em>Evangelion Rebuild<\/em> storyboards. It not very good and there&#8217;s not much <em>Evangelion<\/em> in it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Peach Girl<\/span>: Overflows with dumb melodrama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Persona 3 The Movie<\/span>: The first movie is good while the middle two are incredibly awful. The fourth is just kind of there.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Persona 4<\/span>: While the Personas don&#8217;t look as bad as <em>Trinity Souls<\/em>\u2018, everything else is painfully childish\/simplistic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Persona 5 The Animation: The Day Breakers<\/span>: A combination of <em>P3<\/em> and <em>P4<\/em>&#8216;s worst traits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">PES: Peace Eco Smile<\/span>: A set of fairly colorful car commercials with extraordinarily forced plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Petopeto-san<\/span>: A weird little series that doesn&#8217;t really seem to know what it wants to be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation<\/span>: Has great difficulty deciding whether it wants to be a character-driven show where the game is just a game, or an action\/drama where the game is real life. By the time it decides it&#8217;s far to late to salvage.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Phantom in the Twilight<\/span>: Though amusing at first, the action and drama aspects aren&#8217;t executed all that well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Phantom of Kill: Zero kara no Hangyaku<\/span>: Features a limited color pallete and an abrupt conclusion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle<\/span>: The silly parts are too silly and the deadly serious parts are too ridiculous to take seriously.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Piroppo<\/span>: Just sort of middling. Reminds me a bit of <em>Adventure Time<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume<\/span>: Never gives a good reason for why the protagionist puts up with the android. Does have a couple nice action scenes though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Planetes<\/span>: Same problem as with <em>Eureka Seven<\/em>; the series might be good, but I can&#8217;t stand the main character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Plastic Little<\/span>: Standard B-movie. Action scenes, nudity, and a bare-bones story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Plastic Memories<\/span>: The romance angle comes across as forced and many of the developments just don&#8217;t feel natural. There are a few good moments scattered about though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Plastic Nee-san<\/span>: As with most mini-episode random-style comedies, the humor in here is hit or miss. In this particular instance the first half hit while the second missed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ple Ple Pleiades<\/span>: An extension of <em>Overlord<\/em>&#8216;s BD specials. If you liked those then you may as well continue with this. Otherwise avoid.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Please Save My Earth<\/span>: Putting aside the series&#8217; general strangeness and shaky presentation, I disliked both Rin and Alice. Which basically ended things before they began since their story is essentially the show&#8217;s centerpiece.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Plunderer<\/span>: Incredibly creepy ecchi overload.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Pok\u00e9mon: The Origin<\/span>: Felt rushed to the point that you&#8217;d honestly be better off just playing the game.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Pop Team Epic Kinen<\/span>: A so-so collection of shorts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Popotan<\/span>: Tries to rise above its ecchi roots with forced drama. Does not succeed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Princess Mononoke<\/span>: It&#8217;s a <em>Bambie<\/em>-esque fairy tale with a heavy progress vs. nature theme. I&#8217;m not really a fan of Disney-style fairy tales.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Princess Resurrection<\/span>: This seems to be the spiritual predecessor of <em>Murder Princess<\/em>. It has vampires, werewolves, androids, the titular demon-eyed princess\u2026 and horrible, horrible storytelling along with less than quality animation. I wanted to like this series, I really did, but the various episode premises were just far too badly presented.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Princess Tutu<\/span>: The 4th-wall breaking aspect is overwhelming.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Prism Ark<\/span>: A horrible fanservice-based school life series. Its only redeeming quality is the feeling of nostalgia for <em>Scrapped Princesss<\/em> that you may get from watching it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Project A-ko<\/span>: A pretty average dated action comedy. Has a certain resemblance to <em>Kill la Kill<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Project A-ko 2: Daitokuji Zaibatsu no Inbou<\/span>: Basically the same as the prequel, just with pool-episode content.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Project Zeorymer<\/span>: Pretty average aside from the heavy melodrama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Promare<\/span>: High quality visuals (if the color scheme and styling doesn&#8217;t bother you) marred by incredibly dumb character behavior and especially nonsensical plot developments. <em>Galo-hen<\/em> is only slightly better, while <em>Lio-hen<\/em> is actually pretty solid (sadly, neither work as stand-alones).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Promised Town<\/span>: The story here feels incomplete, making it only good as a source of some simple (CGI) action eye-candy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Psycho Diver: Mashou Bosatsu<\/span>: A pretty awful B-movie that contains little rhyme or reason.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Psycho-Pass 2<\/span>: More of a mindless action show than a thriller and I&#8217;m not fond of Mika at all. In the first season it seemed like she had an interesting personality, and that does sometimes shine through in isolated situations, but for the most part she&#8217;s just completely insufferable here.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Puchi Eva: Evangelion@School<\/span>: A series of very simplistically 3D-animated comedy shorts. They ranged from impenetrably bizarre to awful with only a handful being notably amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Puchimas! Petit Idolmaster (OAD)<\/span>: A series made up of 6 mini-episodes focused on a treasure hunt of sorts. It&#8217;s pretty average all told.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Puchimas! Wakku Waku!!<\/span>: An introduction to the puchi idols that&#8217;s no longer necessary since the second season of the show did it better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Puchimas!! Petit Petit Idolmaster (OAD): A rather pointless re-hash of everything seen in the series. The first scene is amusing though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Punch Line<\/span>: The first six episodes are basically the prologue, and while the show&#8217;s concept is interesting its execution is a failure. Most of the characters, along with the panty-shot theme, are also annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Puppet Princess<\/span>: This is one of those \u201cso bad it&#8217;s good\u201d B-movies that you watch at night with friends specifically to laugh at how bad it is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Qiang Niang!<\/span>: The voice acting, visual quality, and character actions all leave something to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Qualidea Code<\/span>: While the Chigusa siblings are great, the show itself suffers from becoming just as ridiculous as <em>Date a Live<\/em> is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Queen Emeraldas<\/span>: A side-story in the <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em>\/<em>Captain Harlock<\/em> universe. Released in 1998, it looks (and plays out) pretty much just like all the other <em>Galaxy Express<\/em> and <em>Maetal<\/em> series&#8230; which is not a good thing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Queen Millennia Movie<\/span>: The first of the <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> prequels. It has pacing, plausibility, character design, and character behavior issues.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Queen&#8217;s Blade<\/span>: Similar to a medieval <em>Ikkitousen<\/em>. Unlike that series however, this has pathetically low quality fight scenes and becomes a vapid ecchi-fest as early as the third episode. The second season somehow manages to be slightly better (actual fighting tournament!) and yet exponentially worse (even more pointless ecchi!) at the same time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Quiz Magic Academy 1 &amp; 2<\/span>: A nonsensical tale of nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ragnarok the Animation<\/span>: This may have been good, particularly if you&#8217;ve played the game, but it reminded me far too much of <em>.hack\/\/SIGN<\/em> and <em>Record of Lodoss War<\/em> for me to like it. Roan&#8217;s entire design greatly annoyed me as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rail Wars!<\/span>: Tons of ecchi, tons of train-related babble, average harem archetypes, and a nonsense setting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rayearth<\/span>: Starts out pretty cool, but squanders everything by the end. Terrible ending stretch.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Re: Cutie Honey<\/span>: Has a lot of bare breasts and wacky enemies. Not much else going for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu<\/span>: An interesting idea explored in the most formulaic manner possible. The protagonist is also kind of annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Record of Lodoss War<\/span>: Clich\u00e9 upon clich\u00e9 upon clich\u00e9.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Red<\/span>: Comes across more like an advertisement than a part of the <em>Mekakucity Actors<\/em> series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Red Garden<\/span>: This is a series about four random girls who died and were resurrected to fight a family of weredobermans. Now, if that premise sounds silly&#8230; that&#8217;s because it is. The ridiculous premise isn&#8217;t all that important however, as the series is character based and focuses on how the girls deal with their new situation. This stands out from other series of this nature (like <em>Gantz<\/em>) in that it&#8217;s done in a semi-realistic style. In other words; the girls don&#8217;t magically become bad-asses, and they don&#8217;t get any sort of superpowers (though toward the end of the series they learn they can jump really high). The ending was very strange and, during the first half or so, various characters have a tendency to spontaneously break out into song for unexplained reasons. I&#8217;m forced to lump this together with <em>Basilisk<\/em>; not bad per s\u00e8, but nothing about it appealed to me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Reikenzan: Eichi e no Shikaku<\/span>: Events move much too fast and the sudden focus switch to Shushin doesn&#8217;t work at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Release the Spyce<\/span>: The serious\/dramatic elements don&#8217;t fit well at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rental Magica<\/span>: Not worth the time. Couldn&#8217;t even get past the first episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rerided: Tokigoe no Derrida<\/span>: Falls apart in the second half to the point even a decent ending can;t save it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Revisions<\/span>: The character behavior leaves much to be desired.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Adolescence of Utena<\/span>: Inferior to the full series and fairly terrible as a stand alone as well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rewrite<\/span>: The first season is a complete mess with a pretty good comedy style. The second season starts out a complete mess and then becomes merely average a third of the way in.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">RG Veda<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t last long enough for an attachment to form and has a rather generic plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ring of Gundam<\/span>: A neat tech demo, but the depicted events are a total mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rinkaku<\/span>: A monochrome music video that doesn&#8217;t particularly fit the music.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rinne no Lagrange \u2013 Kamogawa Days<\/span>: This OVA takes place between the two seasons. It&#8217;s not bad exactly, there&#8217;s just nothing really notable here and no point in watching it if you&#8217;re not going to watch the second season afterward.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rinne no Lagrange \u2013 Season 2<\/span>: There&#8217;s no real impact to any of the events that take place and it ends in a rather unfortunate manner. You&#8217;re better off considering the finale of the first season to be the series&#8217; end rather than subject yourself to this season.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rio: Rainbow Gate!<\/span>: An ecchi-focused series with a random plotline and character archetypes. Nothing happens with any rhyme or reason.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">RobiHachi<\/span>: Comes across as exceptionally artificial.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Robomasters: The Animated Series<\/span>: Hated the comic-relief male friend character.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Robot Girls Z<\/span>: Highly inconsistent. The good parts are outweighed by the bad parts.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Robot Girls Z Plus<\/span>: Adds nothing to the prequel and lacks half of the characters that made that intermittedly entertaining.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Robot Town Sagami 2028<\/span>: A commercial for something that doesn&#8217;t exist that&#8217;s just as annoying as a real commercial.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Rocket Girls<\/span>: Too silly. You almost feel embarrassed for the characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Roku de Nashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records<\/span>: Uses its comedy elements as a crutch.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Romantica Clock<\/span>: A simple advertisement for a manga.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">RS Keikaku -Rebirth Storage-<\/span>: Nice animation. Unfortunately, the story wastes its interesting twist and resolves in a half-assed manner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">RUN=DIM<\/span>: The various <em>Gundam<\/em> series do everything this tries to do far better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Run &#038; Roll<\/span>: A brief marathon advertisement with a strange art style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ryuu Seiki<\/span>: The first movie is an example of a good idea executed terribly. The second is just a total mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin<\/span>: While this has a couple good ideas, it fails utterly in combining them into something that feels whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saber Marionette J<\/span>: A mostly by-the-numbers slapstick harem comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sabikui Bisco<\/span>: Everybody being convinced mushrooms spread rust is annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sacred Seven<\/span>: Has solid action scenes and an interesting dark streak; completely ruined by nonsensical fillers.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sacred Seven: Shirogane no Tsubasa<\/span>: A supplement\/recap of the series in movie form that does not improve things any.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine<\/span>: Drags the inevitable conclusion out far too much and then doesn&#8217;t even fully commit at the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saga-ken o Meguru Animation<\/span>: Only the second short is really worth watching (unless you&#8217;re a major fan of pottery).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut<\/span>: An average ecchi-harem academy show. Nothing particularly noteworthy about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saiki Kusuo no Sainan<\/span>: In the first half the gags work more often than not (when they don&#8217;t it&#8217;s usually because a joke&#8217;s being run into the ground). In the second half however they don&#8217;t work very often at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga.<\/span>: Extremely contrived pseudo-porn.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saint Luminous Jogakuin<\/span>: Somewhat interesting, but the pacing has issues and the middle is a total mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saint Onii-san (Movie)<\/span>: Too mellow and laid-back for me. It doesn&#8217;t have quite the same manic\/absurd edge present in the OVAs and sort of feels like a daily-life romance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saint Seiya: Saintia Shou<\/span>: Unpleasant character design and idiotic melodrama.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saiunkoku Monogatari<\/span>: A political drama slash reverse harem, with a few bits of (horribly done) action and a decent amount of (mostly well done) comedy. It starts out good only to lose its way with ~24 episodes of filler-quality drama and a host of artificial conflicts. The second season doesn&#8217;t do anything notably different from the first.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakamoto Desu ga?<\/span>: Has a number of hilarious segments, but also quite a few that either just don&#8217;t work or don&#8217;t work well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saki Biyori (OAD)<\/span>: The first half is pretty good, the second is fairly boring.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saki: Zenkoku Hen<\/span>: More of an ensemble show that spends far too much time focusing on the backstories of a bunch of girls\/teams I don&#8217;t care about.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakigake!! Otoko Juku<\/span>: Only briefly manages to hit the sweet-spot between serious and ridiculous before turning into a pretty generic battle shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Nagashi<\/span>: The music and visuals do not match in this <em>Evangelion<\/em>-themed music video.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Taisen: \u00c9cole de Paris<\/span>: The third <em>Sakura Wars<\/em> OVA series has an almost entirely new cast of characters. I was hoping it would be different than the first two as a result, but it is not. Not in any significant respect anyway.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Taisen: Gouka Kenran<\/span>: The second <em>Sakura Wars<\/em> OVA series. Similar to the first, its combat scenes are good while its character personalities are lacking. A larger cast helps a bit with that problem though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Taisen: Ouka Kenran<\/span>: The first entry in the chain of <em>Sakura Wars<\/em> OVA series. Its combat scenes are good, but its character personalities are lacking.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakura Taisen: Sumire<\/span>: The endcap to this particular cast of characters, this OVA focuses on Sumire to the exclusion of nearly everyone else. Don&#8217;t bother with it if you don&#8217;t like her.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatte Iru<\/span>: A pretty average police procedual with an annoying protaonist and heavyily sentimental focus.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Samurai 7<\/span>: This is a very odd series that combines samurai with mecha. There&#8217;s no discernable reason why the series&#8217; bandits all have Gundams and the various characters&#8217; personalities all fall extremely flat.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sands of Destruction<\/span>: Seems like a less over the top and more juvenile version of <em>Gurren Lagann<\/em>. The character design of the anthropomorphic animals and beastmen alone killed it for me before it even really began.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sankarea<\/span>: There&#8217;s a general sense of wrongness about this series that prevented me from becoming interested in what was happening. Its various elements ended up awkwardly clashing with one another.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sanrio Danshi<\/span>: Muddled messaging (is it advertising for boys or fujoshi?) and generally generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sansha San&#8217;you<\/span>: While I liked Teru, the show comes across as a deliberate construct. The animation style only enhances this feeling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Saredo Tsumibito wa Ryuu to Odoru<\/span>: It lacks focus and its action scenes need some work.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Satsuriku no Tenshi<\/span>: Lackluster action scenes combined with a weird dip into fantasy territory toward the end.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Scared Rider Xechs<\/span>: Comes across as a fairly standard super sentai show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Schick x Evangelion<\/span>: A pair of half-assed shaving commercials.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel<\/span>: Decent action scenes and (eventually) okay comedy with not much else of worth.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Schwarzesmarken<\/span>: This would have been fine if they didn&#8217;t double-up on the antagonists. Either have them fighting aliens, or have them fighting the Stasi; having to deal with both is just exhausting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Scramble Wars: Tsuppashire! Genom Trophy Rally<\/span>: Overly cartoony.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Scryed<\/span>: Seemed decent at first, but no characters were given believable reasons to act the way they did. They all just kind of meandered around doing what they were because the plot told them to. Very afternoon-cartoonish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Scryed Alteration<\/span>: A choppy mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seihou Tenshi Angel Links<\/span>: Mostly episodic, the visuals are dated, and it really likes contrived plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seikai Suru Kado<\/span>: Starts out interesting, but can&#8217;t manage to deliver on its promise.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seiken Tsukai no World Break<\/span>: Has an uncommon theme and some okay comedy, but overall just feels incredibly generic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seikimatsu Kyuuseishu Densetsu: Hokuto no Ken 2<\/span>: The first fourth or so is entertaining, the rest is just a drag.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seikoku no Dragonar<\/span>: Very similar to <em>Zero no Tsukaima<\/em>, this show ends up drowning under the weight of its ecchi and harem elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seirei no Moribito<\/span>: A period piece similar to <em>Ironheito<\/em> and <em>Chevalier<\/em>, although this one is based in a fantasy world instead of being mildly historically accurate. What makes this series stand out a bit from many others is that it focuses on spear combat instead of sword fighting. The storyline isn&#8217;t all that original though and it plays out a bit like a classic fairy tale or epic poem.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seiren<\/span>: First arc is good, second is eh, and the third is bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalite<\/span>: A hollow, empty production lacking almost any spark of life.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seishun Buta Yarou wa Yumemiru Shoujo no Yume o Minai<\/span>: Completely loses the balance of the prequel series. The first third or so comes across like a half-baked rehash while the last half grafts on ill-fitting heavy drama elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2<\/span>: For whatever reason this second season seemed more boring than the first. There are still moments of amusement, but they&#8217;re spaced too far apart. The characters&#8217; voices are also prohibitively shrill.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda<\/span>: While this doesn&#8217;t contain as much gratuitous fanservice as you might expect, it doesn&#8217;t live up to the promise of the first two episodes either. One episode is terrible, two are full of gratuitous fanservice, and the rest are just kind of average. Good combat choreography though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Selector Infected WIXOSS<\/span>: A <em>Madoka<\/em>-like show that unfortunately does not end up very engaging. The pieces never quite come together.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Selector Spread WIXOSS<\/span>: The best part of this conclusion is the very beginning which is styled like a slice of life. The only other times this series felt right were during the rare occurances in which Ruuko was actually having fun battling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sen&#8217;yuu<\/span>: The first three episodes and the second special are pretty good. The rest is fairly annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sen&#8217;yuu: Dai 2 Ki<\/span>: Having a greater focus on the series&#8217; main plotline (aka its largest flaw) makes this notably worse than the prequel.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sengoku Choujuu Giga ~Otsu~<\/span>: Unlike <em>Kou<\/em>, this set of gags ends up more or less split between hits and misses.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sengoku Musou<\/span>: A less over-the-top <em>Sengoku Basara<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sengoku Musou SP: Sanada no Shou<\/span>: A prequel to the <em>Sengoku Musou<\/em> TV series, it&#8217;s basically a less entertaining <em>Sengoku Basara<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sengoku Night Blood<\/span>: The romance aspects are painfully forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Senjou no Valkyria 3: Tagatame no Juusou<\/span>: This two-episode series is, at best, nothing but a shadow of <em>Valkyria Chronicles<\/em>. The hints of that better series are drowned out by implausibly fantastical combat maneuvers and noble intentions nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Senjuushi<\/span>: Interesting setting; abysmal characters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Senki Zesshou Symphogear<\/span>: A musical that wants to combine the <em>Power Rangers<\/em> with <em>Evangelion<\/em>. The attempt ends badly for all involved.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Senkou no Night Raid<\/span>: A series somewhat similar to <em>Darker Than Black<\/em> if that were a historical documentary. Despite its good design, animation, and characters the series is just no fun to watch. It&#8217;s dry as a bone.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Senran Kagura<\/span>: A below average combat-themed ecchi comedy. The only things of note about it are that Katsuragi has the head and personality of Kyouko (<em>Yuru Yuri<\/em>) while Hibari has a suspicious number of overtly bovine traits.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sentou Yousei Shoujo Tasukete! Maeve-chan<\/span>: Weirdly serious\/sincere about its setup.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Servamp<\/span>: The protagonist is annoying and the antagonists are overly psychotic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Seven Knights Revolution: Eiyuu no Keishousha<\/span>: Starts out mildly interesting with surprisingly good action scenes only to go completely off the rails in the last 3rd or so. Surprisingly good ending however.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shadow Skill (1996)<\/span>: No reason to watch except to either get some background information on the characters in the 1995 OVA, or as a replacement for episodes two, three, and seven of the TV series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shangri-La<\/span>: While this doesn&#8217;t particularly resemble any other series and reaches for the stars&#8230; it never quite manages to cohere into solid form. It has several interesting ideas that all manage to clash with each other in some manner, resulting in a distressingly boring cacophony of plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shichisei no Subaru<\/span>: Starts out extremely strong only to utterly fall to pieces in the last quarter or so.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shihaisha no Tasogare<\/span>: An otherwise average B-movie with a horrible ending.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shikioriori<\/span>: Each story has it&#8217;s own particular problem.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shikkakumon no Saikyou Kenja<\/span>: A parody of overpowered protagonist harems that doesn&#8217;t seem to be in on the joke.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami<\/span>: The first story is like an extended in-game cutscene while the second is effectively a teaser trailer. The third story is actually somewhat entertaining though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin Hokuto no Ken<\/span>: Far too many convenient plot developments and nothing really of any particular interest takes place.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin Strange+<\/span>: It felt like they were forcing things.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shin&#8217;ya! Tensai Bakabon<\/span>: Painfully dated character gimmicks.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shina Dark: Kuroki Tsuki no Ou to Souheki no Tsuki no Himegimi<\/span>: There&#8217;s no point in watching this collection of four music videos unless you&#8217;re a fan of the manga. Neither the music nor animation is all that impressive.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinano Mainichi Shinbun<\/span>: A very brief comercial. The animation is fine but little stands out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou<\/span>: The events of the series retold as a high school comedy. The original actually ends up funnier.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinigami no Ballad<\/span>: This is sort-of like the polar opposite of <em>Jigoku Shoujo<\/em>. Momo is similar in personality to Ai, but the storylines are much more upbeat and are about redemption rather than damnation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shining Tears X Wind<\/span>: This series is very\u2026 I suppose \u2018juvenile&#8217; is the word.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica: Crimson S<\/span>: A prequel to <em>Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica<\/em> with an actual plotline that mysteriously ends up the worse for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shinmai Maou no Testament<\/span>: Has some good comedy and a pretty good MC, but the &#8216;Succubus Curse&#8217; element is infuriating.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen<\/span>: A remarkably boring variation of the <em>Gundam<\/em> formula featuring an especially annoying protagonist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shokugeki no Souma<\/span>: An average ecchi comedy with a major focus on food.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shomin Sample<\/span>: A somewhat average harem that gets a little carried away with its &#8216;the protagonist pretends to be gay&#8217; and &#8216;naive, sheltered girls&#8217; aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya o Mezasu<\/span>: A pale imitation of <em>Saenai Heroine<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shoukoku no Altair<\/span>: Doesn&#8217;t really get going until halfway through, and even then doesn&#8217;t do anything particularly interesting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shoumetsu Toshi<\/span>: A hodgepodge of bad ideas.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shounen Onmyouji<\/span>: An average shounen series. It&#8217;s not bad, there&#8217;s just nothing particularly engaging about it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Show by Rock!! Short!!<\/span>: Feels a lot like a soulless promotion.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shrine of the Morning Mist<\/span>: Simplistic afternoon fluff overflowing with school-life based filler episodes and general antagonist incompetence.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Shuumatsu no Izetta<\/span>: A nice beginning slowly squandered with a meandering focus and highly questionable late-series developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Silent M\u00f6bius (Movies)<\/span>: Decent, but they weren&#8217;t anything special. Nothing really surprising happens and the characters are rather average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai<\/span>: Not bad as an ecchi comedy, but doesn&#8217;t work as an action drama at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sin: The Movie<\/span>: Average B-movie type story with atrocious animation.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sket Dance<\/span>: While this is <em>Gintama<\/em>-like, it feels like it&#8217;s trying way too hard to be funny. The animation is also rather sketchy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Skull Man<\/span>: Ridiculously boring until the last three episodes, in which it just goes insane (in a nonsensical way).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Slayers (TV Series)<\/span>: As with several other Anime in this genre, the token \u2018strapping young moronic hero&#8217; ruins it for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita<\/span>: Starts out cute, but quickly loses its way.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sol Bianca: Taiyou no Fune<\/span>: Similar to <em>Avenger<\/em> in that it&#8217;s dull, boring, and pretentious. Different in that it has periodic ridiculously over the top action scenes. Almost nothing like the first <em>Sol Bianca<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation<\/span>: Sonico&#8217;s personality is just so painfully dull\/average. If you can get past that, this can almost be viewed as a sequel to <em>K-On!!<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sora no Method<\/span>: Full of really, <em>really<\/em> dumb\/infuriating character behavior. Not fond of the &#8216;twist&#8217; toward the end either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sora no Oto<\/span>: Moe for moe&#8217;s sake.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sora no Otoshimono<\/span>: Reminded me of <em>DearS<\/em>. I wanted nothing to do with it after the first 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sora to Umi no Aida<\/span>: All of The characters are all pretty bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sore ga Seiyuu!<\/span>: Starts veering into idol territory and just doesn&#8217;t quite feel right.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soredemo Machi wa Mawatte Iru<\/span>: I didn&#8217;t find the first two episodes funny and the main character&#8217;s voice annoyed me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor<\/span>: It&#8217;s as though they combined the most boring parts of <em>Evangelion<\/em> and <em>RahXephon<\/em>. The <em>Right of Left<\/em> prequel OVA is worlds better.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soul Buster<\/span>: Has a hideous visual style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soul Eater<\/span>: The first episode has fantastic battle choreography and animation, but the character design, setting, and overall tone are abysmal. Making matters worse, after that first episode the action scenes take a hit in quality while a bunch of insufferably infuriating characters are introduced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Soul Link<\/span>: Vaguely reminiscent of <em>Coyote Ragtime<\/em>, but couldn&#8217;t hold my interest beyond the third episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sousei no Aquarion: Love<\/span>: A complete mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sousei no Onmyouji<\/span>: It&#8217;s ~30-37 episodes too long. Had it ended at either 13 or 20 it would&#8217;ve been decent.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sousei Seiki Devadasy<\/span>: An <em>Evangelion<\/em> fanfiction in which the EVA runs on sex energy, there are nanomachines everywhere, and the ending is abrupt.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Souten no Ken: Regenesis<\/span>: The visual quality is real bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Space Dandy<\/span>: Episodic series with a perverted main character that&#8217;s just a collection of stupid situations. Has couple good good bits here and there and some imaginative design though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Space Symphony Maetel<\/span>: One of the prequels to the <em>Galaxy Express 999<\/em> series. The first half is passable while the second half is atrocious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sparrow&#8217;s Hotel<\/span>: Starts out utterly unwatchable, becomes merely terrible over time. Has one or two good jokes though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Special A<\/span>: Ridiculously gangly character design and ludicrous episodic situations. Even if you&#8217;re only in it for the romance you would be far better off with <em>Kaichou wa Maid-sama!<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Spiritpact<\/span>: The humor style is pretty bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Spriggan<\/span>: An action-centric movie that has nothing going for it beyond good action scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto<\/span>: This is <em>Gurren Lagann<\/em> if <em>Gurren Lagann<\/em> were made up of nothing but joke characters and a randomized plot.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Starship Troopers: Invasion<\/span>: A mindless action movie with CGI animation that looks absolutely terrible for everything other than combat.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Steamboy<\/span>: While this has fantastic visuals the storyline and characters range from lackluster to terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Steins;Gate: Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing<\/span>: Very forced\/contrived. A few good moments though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Stella no Mahou<\/span>: In the beginning when it&#8217;s more about the gags this show is pretty good. As it progresses though it becomes more of a slice of life, featuring cuteness for the sake of cuteness.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Strike the Blood (Valkyria OVAs)<\/span>: A look into La Folia&#8217;s family situation that comes across like a badly constructed filler side-story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Strike the Blood III<\/span>: Progress without progress. Nothing feels like it ever changes depsite repeated claims that things have changed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Strike the Blood IV<\/span>: The series just absolutely refuses to progress, instead choosing to circle right down the drain.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Strike Witches<\/span>: Far more horrible than I imagined it could possibly be. The character design from the waist up is nice, but everything else is abysmal\u2026 particularly the character design from the waist down.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan o.: Kokuhaku Jikkouiinkai<\/span>: The side characters here drag severely everything down.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Summertime Render<\/span>: Far too fast-paced to work as a mystery\/thriller.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-san<\/span>: A generally average ecchi comedy that occasionally dips into creepy territory.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Super Danganronpa 2.5: Komaeda Nagito to Sekai no Hakaisha<\/span>: While not exceptionally bad, it really doesn&#8217;t add anything to <em>The End of Kibougamine Gakuen<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Super Mario no Shouboutai<\/span>: It certainly exists, but there&#8217;s not really any compelling reason to watch it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Super Robot Taisen OG: The Inspector<\/span>: This series is very good at depicting mecha battles. It is very, very bad at telling a coherent story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Surprise 4 U.<\/span>: Some acceptably animated commercials. Nothing special about them.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sushi Police<\/span>: The videogame-like graphics are fine, but the humor is stupid-random instead of funny-random.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Suteki Tantei Labyrinth<\/span>: The detective portions are decent enough; the supernatural elements are not.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet &#8211; The Third Episode<\/span>: The music is nowhere near prominent enough to carry the story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II<\/span>: Superfluous. Adds nothing to how the prequel ended.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sword Gai: The Animation<\/span>: An okayish concept hampered by low-quality action and a muddled second half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tabi Machi Late Show: Awaiting My Journey<\/span>: A barely-animated collection of mostly mundane, everyday, stories.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Taboo Tattoo<\/span>: Starts out very entertaining; goes straight into the gutter in the 5th episode and never recovers.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tachibana-kan to Lie Angle<\/span>: Would&#8217;ve been slightly better had they toned down the ecchi elements.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tactics<\/span>: Too contrived. Why is the main character the only one who can do what he does? Why does no one else find what he does odd? Why do things work the way they do? Basically just disposable afternoon-fare.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tada-kun wa Koi o Shinai<\/span>: Not enough romantic comedy in the series supposedly about a romance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Taifuu no Noruda<\/span>: The characters are annoying and the events are forced\/rushed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tailenders<\/span>: An inferior <em>Redline<\/em>. Visuals are good though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Taishou Mebiusline Chicchai-san<\/span>: Only useful as a bonus for those who have read the source material.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai<\/span>: Starts out good only to quickly become bad thanks to the super sentai aspects and pacing issues.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Takahashi Rumiko Gekijou: Ningyo no Mori<\/span>: Not bad exactly but the episodes kind of blend into one another after awhile.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Takamiya Nasuno Desu! Teekyuu Spin-off<\/span>: Starts off okay and has a couple good bits, but somehow manages to run out of ideas in the last quarter.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Takanashi Rikka Kai: Chuunibyou the Movie<\/span>: A few scenes that link the first season with the second and a ton of pointlessly lengthy recap scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Takunomi.<\/span>: More alcohol advertisement than comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Eternia The Animation<\/span>: If you want to see some random characters fool around on a random island that just so happens to be the base of a major antagonist completely unrelated to the series&#8217; stated goals, then you may not be as annoyed by this series as I was.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Gekijou<\/span>: The Luke and Zelos characters leech away most of what little enjoyment these short episodes contain.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Phantasia<\/span>: Starts off a decent RPGish fantasy, quickly turns into a jumbled mess.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Symphonia: Sekai Tougou Hen<\/span>: This third and final OVA series ends on something of a whimper. All that build-up from the first two series just kind of fizzles out in a simplistic &#8216;racism is bad&#8217; message.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tales of Symphonia: Tethe&#8217;alla Hen<\/span>: This second part of the <em>Tales of Symphonia<\/em> series is both rushed and spends a lot of time on ultimately meaningless character backstory.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tamako Market<\/span>: A moe show focused on a mocchi-maker&#8217;s daughter, a talking bird, and an island prince subplot. It certainly looks beautiful, but the inherent strangeness of the situation plus the whole mocchi\/food focus pretty much killed it for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tamala 2010<\/span>: Cripplingly slow.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">TANK S.W.A.T. 01<\/span>: The visual quality is quite bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tantei Opera Milky Holmes<\/span>: The first season is mostly terrible, but has a few gleaming hints of light in it. In the first half of the second season that light blossoms into beautiful insanity, only to dim and ultimately fail in the second half. The Summer Special OVA is fairly average all-around.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tantei Kageki Milky Holmes TD<\/span>: Pretty much the same sort of makeup as the second season. Has an idol focus though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tantei Opera Milky Holmes: Alternative<\/span>: This OVA series take place in London and has the girls doing detective work with their powers restored. Unlike the TV version, there is little comedy here. It&#8217;s average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tatakae!! Iczer 1<\/span>: If you must watch this, watch the movie version (<em>ICZER-ONE<\/em>) instead.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari: Season 2<\/span>: Comes across like aimless filler.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tears to Tiara<\/span>: A sub-par mashup of <em>Samurai Deeper Kyou<\/em> and <em>Druaga no Tou<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Teizokurei Daydream<\/span>: Despite being able to nail the spooky atmosphere, this set of OVAs fails utterly at balancing its comedy, ecchi, and action aspects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tejina Senpai<\/span>: Too much repetition coupled with the hit\/miss nature of random comedy (to say nothing of the inexplicable incestuous overtones) result in a work that&#8217;s more annoying than amusing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tekken: Blood Vengeance<\/span>: If you&#8217;ve been religiously following the <em>Tekken<\/em> games&#8217; storyline then this may be worth a watch. If not\u2026. Not helping matters is the animation style, in which there&#8217;s something not quite right with the facial animations ~60-80% of the time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tenchi in Tokyo<\/span>: Avoid this like the plague. It&#8217;s completely inferior to both the <em>Tenchi Muyou<\/em> OVAs and <em>Tenchi Universe<\/em>. If you&#8217;ve watched either of those first, you&#8217;ll weep (or rage) upon viewing this travesty.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tenchi Muyou! Midsummer&#8217;s Eve<\/span>: Nowhere near as bad as <em>Tenchi in Tokyo<\/em>, but doesn&#8217;t have much substance to it beyond some generic harem antics.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tenkuu no Escaflowne<\/span>: I couldn&#8217;t deal with the animation style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life<\/span>: Things happen, and then some more things happen, with little connection to one another. The comes across more like a random assortment of ideas than a proper story.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tenshi no Drop<\/span>: Most of this short TV special is fairly weird and sometimes amusing, the last 15 seconds or so however are horrible and ruin everything.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">TenSura Nikki: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken<\/span>: Strips all the action\/drama out of the parent series, leaving you with nothing but awkward (generic) comedy and odd character design.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tentai Senshi Sunred<\/span>: A few amusing bits, but for the most part this is rather average. It certainly doesn&#8217;t help that I do not watch Anime to see people being back-breakingly polite to one another.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Terra Formars<\/span>: Pretty much the same sort of content as the prequel. Maybe a little worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Terra Formars OAD<\/span>: Putting aside that the antagonists look like poorly disguised racial caricatures, this two-episode prequel to the parent series features little in the way of consistency or sense. It&#8217;s basically just violence for violence&#8217;s sake.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tesagure! Bukatsumono<\/span>: Four high school girls talking\/laughing about fairly everyday things in an offbeat manner. Not really my thing, though the conversations sound remarkably natural.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Daughter of Twenty Faces<\/span>: Starts off mildly interesting, but the supernatural elements eventually overwhelm the series with ridiculousness.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Epic of Zektbach<\/span>: A cursed sword story that starts off on the wrong foot with sketchy animation and terrible CG. It manages to get its act together somewhat around the nine-minute mark and ends up almost watchable. Almost.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Hakkenden: Shin Shou<\/span>: <em>Hakkenden<\/em>&#8216;s follow-up. It is nowhere near as good due to chronic timejumps combined with chronic lack of exposition.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Humanoid<\/span>: A cookie-cutter story about sacrifice and a monomaniacal villain wanting to cause an armageddon event. Only really notable for having an android in it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Last: Naruto the Movie<\/span>: Starts out like it could be decent only to collapse under the weight of dull monologues and gratuitous actions scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Mystical Laws<\/span>: Fairly dull and a bit off for the most part. If you&#8217;ve ever seen a movie produced by a questionable religious organization before then you&#8217;ll have a general idea of the quality to expect.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The Quiz Animation: Nana Maru San Batsu<\/span>: Weirdly serious about its topic.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">The World God Only Knows: 4 Girls and an Idol<\/span>: I have no idea why anyone thought making this was a good idea. It&#8217;s dull, boring, and bears no resemblance to the series proper.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">They Are My Noble Masters<\/span>: I enjoyed the comedy part of <em>Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!!<\/em> and so hoped to enjoy this series. Unfortunately the comedy in here is not quite the same; it&#8217;s basically your standard ecchi overload.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Those Who Hunt Elves<\/span>: Far too cartoony.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tiger &#038; Bunny<\/span>: Tiger is an awful character and the reality TV bullshit is just as annoying as its real-life counterpart.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">time bokan 24<\/span>: Average morning cartoony show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">To Be Hero<\/span>: An overload of toilet humor coupled with a highly questionable ending stretch.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">To Love-Ru: Trouble (TV Series)<\/span>: An ecchi-focused version of <em>Tenchi Universe<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator<\/span>: Accelerator is almost as annoying a character as Touma, and the new characters meant to carry the series when he&#8217;s offscreen are mostly pretty boring.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toaru Majutsu no Index III<\/span>: Far too much exposition and Hamazura is incredibly annoying.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Togainu no Chi<\/span>: Has some sharp character design, but everything else about it is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ToHeart<\/span>: An episodic slice of school life show featuring a fairly laid-back protagonist. It doesn&#8217;t really have any notable qualities besides how relatively mellow it is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ToHeart: Remember My Memories<\/span>: A sequel to <em>To Heart<\/em> that changes the MC&#8217;s personality and has a dynamic closer to that of a standard harem show. It ends up the worse for it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ToHeart2<\/span>: This is a lot like <em>ToHeart<\/em>, except with a more generic main character and dialog\/situations that come across as forced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ToHeart2 (OVAs)<\/span>: Out of the nine OVAs split up into four series, only the 2nd episode in the first series and the 1st episode in <em>adnext<\/em> are decent.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Babylon<\/span>: While this does provide a bit of background information for the main <em>X<\/em> mvoie\/series, with the exception of the first episode&#8217;s climax it&#8217;s just not very engaging.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Ghoul<\/span>: Has a few good moments, but for the most part this is just a set-up for what comes after&#8230; and a rather flawed one at that.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Ghoul \u221aA<\/span>: Eh. Starts out pretty good only to quickly become, at best, an average battle shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Ghoul :Re<\/span>: Much like the prequel this starts out surprisingly good only to completely fall apart in the second half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Loop<\/span>: An assortment of arty short movies. A handful are interesting, most are average to pointless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou Tou: Dai Ni Maku<\/span>: Nothing at all like the first season. Bad dialog, nonsensical plotline, and blank characterizations.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Marble Chocolate<\/span>: An otherwise good romance utterly ruined by a cartoonish diaper-wearing miniature donkey.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyo Underground<\/span>: A wholly generic superpower-centric battle shounen.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tokyogurashi!<\/span>: A parody opening segment. There&#8217;s not much point in deliberately seeking it out.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tomoe ga Yuku!<\/span>: Competes with <em>Avenger<\/em> for the title of &#8216;slowest action show&#8217;. It&#8217;s only notable trait is that it features rollerskating.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toshokan Sensou: Kakumei no Tsubasa<\/span>: Pretty much a seamless continuation of the series. Concludes seemingly self-aware of how nonsensical its premise is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Touhou PVD 3<\/span>: None of the four videos were particularly appealing, either visually or musically.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toukiden Kiwami<\/span>: A promotion for the game of the same name, this would have been fine if the monsters didn&#8217;t look so awful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Towa no Quon<\/span>: A dull, plodding series (first episode excepted) featuring a painfully idealistic group of protagonists lacking even a single interesting characteristic among them.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Toward the Terra<\/span>: Starts out seeming as though it will be an interesting dystopian tale only to turn into a stupid and illogical race war. Then it just sort of ends.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">TRICKSTER<\/span>: Uneven; the disparate elements don&#8217;t blend well.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tristia of the Deep Blue Sea<\/span>: A simple two-episode series with a tiny bit of mecha action in it. Honestly, it&#8217;s not worth the effort of tracking down.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsubasa Chronicle the Movie<\/span>: Compared to the parent series, this is terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsugumomo<\/span>: A well-produced show that doesn&#8217;t quite seem to know what it wants to do\/be.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki Desu ka<\/span>: Not fond of the apparent deadpan-repetition style of the comedy nor the mother focus.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsukiuta. The Animation<\/span>: An idol show with a fairly novel structure; its middle episodes explore several different types of stories. That novelty isn&#8217;t enough to outweigh the inconsistency it introduces though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsukumogami Kashimasu<\/span>: Amusing comic aspects coupled with overly simplistic storytelling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase<\/span>: I remember nothing about this series beyond the fact that I didn&#8217;t like it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Tsuyokiss Cool x Sweet<\/span>: A generic school-life romance with a female tsundere lead. I disliked most of the characters and the general absurdity infusing the setting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Turn A Gundam<\/span>: Consists of boring average characters involved in a pointless war (which doesn&#8217;t even try to be believably fought) alongside a smattering of cartoonish nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Turning Girls<\/span>: Has a few good jokes. More annoying than enjoyable overall though.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Twin Angel Break<\/span>: A generic magical girl show with lackluster action scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uchuu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade<\/span>: Generic in all respects.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199: Hoshi-Meguru Hakobune<\/span>: This movie fits in between episodes 24 and 25 of the OVA series. It&#8217;s pretty bad and serves little point besides being a vehicle for some very nice visuals.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi<\/span>: Same nonsense overload as the prequel without any of the exciting space battles. All the confrontations here come across as abitrary.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">UFO Princess Valkyrie<\/span>: The first season has the largest concentration of lolicon and love triangle elements of the franchise, while also having some of the better comedy. It&#8217;s not the best mix and the sudden action focus introduced toward the end just makes things worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">UFO Princess Valkyrie: Juunigatsu no Yasoukyoku<\/span>: This has more of a <em>Nanoha<\/em> vibe to it. It&#8217;s notably more serious than the first season but ends up more melodramatic than moving.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">UFO Princess Valkyrie: Seireisetsu no Hanayome<\/span>: The first three episodes of this third season are mostly just vaguely annoying side stories. The fourth episode is good though and the final two do actually advance the main relationship (though they are not particularly impressive).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">ULTRAMAN<\/span>: The last episode is good. The rest is average at best.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Ulysses: Jeanne d`Arc to Renkin no Kishi<\/span>: Awful main heroine and an exceptionally haphazard event progression.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uma Musume: Pretty Derby<\/span>: Pretty fucked up on a conceptual level.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~<\/span>: Took an almost immediate dislike toward the characters and comedic style.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Umineko no Naku Koro ni<\/span>: Similar in some ways to <em>Higurashi<\/em>, it falls massively short of that series due to its terribly one-dimensional and\/or absurd characters and lackluster storytelling.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Urahara<\/span>: Starts out pretty bad, becomes actually decent, then crashes and burns.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Urawa no Usagi-chan<\/span>: An otherwise average school girl mini-episode series that has a bad start and a single notably interesting character (the student council president).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Usagi-chan de Cue!!<\/span>: An ecchi OVA series that specializes in panty-shots and not much else.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Usakame<\/span>: It&#8217;s <em>Teekyuu<\/em> slowed down to the point the absurdity of the jokes works against them.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uta Kata<\/span>: A relationship\/psychological drama with a couple of magical girl aspects that puts up a cheerful front at first. It takes too long to get into the meat of its story and ends rather indecisively.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love 1000%<\/span>: The characters aren&#8217;t very engaging and the drama is excessive.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid<\/span>: A gratuitous softporn ecchi show that has some vague similarities to <em>Cross Ange<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vampire Holmes<\/span>: While this has one or two good episodes, most of it is awful.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vampire Hunter D<\/span>: I couldn&#8217;t deal with the animation style. The female-lead also made no sense.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vampire in the Garden<\/span>: Good animation wasted on characters and events that completely lack any believability.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vampire Princess Miyu (OVAs)<\/span>: I no longer remember why I didn&#8217;t like it, but I know I liked the TV series version more.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vandread<\/span>: It has an interesting theme, but relies far too much on absurdist and situational humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Venus Project: Climax<\/span>: A generic idol story with mecha bad proxy-battles.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Venus Senki<\/span>: Not fond of the characters at all and the story is rather average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Vexille<\/span>: Sort of a combination of <em>Appleseed<\/em> and <em>Dune<\/em>. The general concept is interesting, but the actual plot and execution of that concept are fairly terrible.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">VS Knight Ramune &#038; 40 Fire<\/span>: A hero&#8217;s journy parody that sometimes takes itself seriously and goes on for about 13 episodes too long.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wagamama High Spec<\/span>: The first episode is misleading, as this is not an ecchi show (only two other episodes are ecchi-focused). It&#8217;s closer to a slice of life&#8230; and a somewhat dull one at that.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wakie Wakie<\/span>: A claymation(?) music video for some random background song. It&#8217;s not bad, but it&#8217;s not worth seeking out either.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Walkure Romanze<\/span>: A very uneven series. The (very few) jousting matches are good, the character studies are rather dull and boring, and the ecchi ranges from painfully gratuitous (the first two episodes) to comedic (episode 7) to generic (episodes 8 &#038; 9) to nearly non-existent (basically every other episode).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wanna Be.jk<\/span>: Basically an OP and an ED for a show that doesn&#8217;t exist. The first video is nice, but the second is just dull.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Warau Salesman New<\/span>: I don&#8217;t like the artstyle and the content has a certain inconsistency to it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Nai jan, Muri Muri!<\/span>: Fantastic start that falls apart in the fourth episode. The harem aspects are questionable and the serious elements are undermined by the comedy rather than being enhanced by it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Watashi ga Motete Dou Sunda<\/span>: Ultimately it&#8217;s a standard harem show with a somewhat limited sense of humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Weiss Kreuz<\/span>: It&#8217;s surprisingly dark and serious and may have been decent if released\/watched much earlier. Basically its problem is that it&#8217;s extremely dated.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Weiss Kreuz (OVA)<\/span>: First episode is good, second isn&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Weiss Kreuz Gluehen<\/span>: This has a great many issues, beyond those already present in the prequel series. Two key ones being its constant escalation and an exhaustively extended main plotline.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Weiss Survive<\/span>: Couldn&#8217;t stand the female lead&#8217;s VA.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wheels<\/span>: Pretty average dialogue-free short with nice artwork.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wind: A Breath of Heart<\/span>: Tries to be <em>Da Capo<\/em>, ends up more like <em>Sola<\/em> thanks to unbalanced genre switching. The OVA version is notably worse than the TV version in the design and animation departments while also feeling rushed&#8230; but at least does not share the genre confliction.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wings of Rean<\/span>: This is an incredibly strange series. I couldn&#8217;t follow what was happening\u2026 at all. The animation is quite good and the characters aren&#8217;t noticeably problematic in any way, but the storyline is incredibly convoluted. Far more convoluted than even <em>Karas<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Witch Craft Works<\/span>: Some parts are extremely funny, some parts are rather painful, and the male lead is horrendous.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">With You: Mitsumeteitai<\/span>: A rather boring love story and a rather boring love triangle fused together into an uninteresting whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil<\/span>: Just not very fun or interesting to watch really. Lots of action and a couple mystery\/thriller elements that, for some reason, all just feel so empty.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wo De Tian Jie Nuyou<\/span>: A generic mixed-genre series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wolf Guy<\/span>: Violence for the sake of violence with highly questionable (and incomplete) plot developments.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wolf&#8217;s Rain<\/span>: Far too much moralizing. If you want your story to have a moral, fine, but don&#8217;t go shoving morals down people&#8217;s throats each episode. I got up to where the Moon Maiden starts phasing through walls before I had to turn it off in disgust.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wonder Egg Priority<\/span>: The disparate elements don&#8217;t coalesce into a coherant whole.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wonderful Days<\/span>: A mind-numbingly boring movie that has a progress vs. nature theme along with all the stereotypes that entails.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wooser no Sono Higurashi<\/span>: A random short-episode series focused on a lazy semi-perverted rabbit-like creature. It has no notable qualities whatsoever.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Wooser no Sono Higurashi Mugen Hen<\/span>: Pretty much exactly like the first season with only a few glimemrs of the advances made in the second.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">World Fool News Part II<\/span>: This season comes across as a bit dull and lifeless.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">WWW.WORKING!!<\/span>: A decent reaction comedy that turns into a generic romantic comedy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Xenosaga the Animation<\/span>: It follows the main storyline decently, though that isn&#8217;t very difficult since the game itself is over 50% FMV. What it utterly fails at is doing any justice to the fight scenes. The general action\/choreography is the same but they may as well be a storyboard with the amount of effort put into (re)animating them. Albedo&#8217;s appearance was also rather off\u2026 he just didn&#8217;t look right at all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Xi Avant<\/span>: Does a terrible job of masking the fact that it&#8217;s just a commercial.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Xiang Ling Ji<\/span>: The animation quality is atrocious.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yakimochi Caprice<\/span>: The first one is pointless yet cute, while the second is basically an orphaned OP.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yakitate!! Japan<\/span>: I don&#8217;t care about bread and did not like two of the protagonists.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yakumo Tatsu<\/span>: Serves as the prologue to a longer story (presumably told in the manga version). It&#8217;s okay, but doesn&#8217;t really do anything particularly noteworthy.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yoru no Yatterman<\/span>: Due to a both distinct lack of focus and a pretty bad plot twist in the tenth episode, this show fails at its attempt to merge old-style campy nonsense with more modern sensibilities.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yosuga no Sora<\/span>: The first arc is decent despite its abrupt ending, the second feels both forced and rushed, and the third and fourth arcs feel overly awkward. The finale was surprisingly good, but did not make up for all the fanservice-laden horror of episodes five through eleven.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yotsunoha<\/span>: The heroine&#8217;s character design, along with the ecchi, are both particularly jarring.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">You&#8217;re Under Arrest: Full Throttle<\/span>: An episodic buddy-cop kind of show whose various episode premises just did not work for me.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Young Black Jack<\/span>: You&#8217;d have to seriously struggle to come up with events and character actions more forced than those contained here.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yume Oukoku to Nemureru 100 Nin no Ouji-sama<\/span>: The drama is more annoying than engaging.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yumekuri<\/span>: If you haven&#8217;t bought the drama CD this OVA comes with, or haven&#8217;t read the manga, there&#8217;s little point in watching this. As on its own it&#8217;s not much more than an excerpt from a longer series&#8217; hot springs episode.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yumeria<\/span>: An ecchi harem comedy with a simplistic action subplot whose technical qualities are roughly on par with your average hentai.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san (OVAs)<\/span>: Overflowing with the bad kind of ecchi.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yurikuma Arashi<\/span>: Ultimately an extremely basic forbidden romance story. It&#8217;s dressed up real nice and some of the imagry is quite good, but overall it&#8217;s mostly just a drag.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yurumates (2012)<\/span>: Two bonus episodes for <em>Yurumates 3D<\/em> that are simply average.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!+<\/span>: Tries far too hard to be <em>Non Non Biyori<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuugen Kaisha<\/span>: An average classic-style monster-of-the-episode show. Has a couple good scenes but nothing all that notable.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shou<\/span>: Nearly a third of it is a hodgepodge of poorly integrated school-life scenes.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha-bu Shozoku<\/span>: Standard schoolgirl moe.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuusha Party o Oidasareta Kiyoubinbou<\/span>: Starts off as a standard &#8216;strong MC kicked out of the hero party for perceived weakness&#8217; type of show only to pull a bunch of conspiracy nonsense out of thin air in the second half.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuusha Party o Tsuihou sareta Shiromadoushi, S-Rank Boukensha ni Hirowareru<\/span>: Far too many questionable developments combined with conflicting visions on what type of protagonist the series should have.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Yuushibu<\/span>: An ecchi comedy that manages to be slightly entertaining from time to time. Unfortunately, the final three episodes consist almost wholly of forced plot developments that don&#8217;t fit well with the rest of the series. The extra episode OVA is also particularly bad.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zankyou no Terror<\/span>: A fantastic start utterly squandered with the introduction of a horrid character (Five). Decent end as well, but that third quarter really murders it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zeonic Front: Kidou Senshi Gundam 0079 &#8211; Zeon no Hifun<\/span>: A fairly dull recap of the first <em>Gundam<\/em> series included with one of the <em>Gundam<\/em> video games.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zeonic Toyota Special Movie<\/span>: A decently animated pair of average car commercials featuring Char and Lahlah (from the first <em>Gundam<\/em>).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho<\/span>: An inferior <em>Junketsu no Maria<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zetman<\/span>: Full of unlikable characters (unless you&#8217;re a FRIEND OF JUSTICE), meaningless situations, and painful dialog.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zetsumetsu Kigu Shoujo: Amazing Twins<\/span>: An incredibly average ESPer\/super hero type of show.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zettai Shougeki: Platonic Heart<\/span>: A fighting tournament series somewhat similar to <em>Ikkitousen<\/em>. That series and pretty much any other series that focuses on girls fighting one another are all better than this.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zero no Tsukaima \u2013 2nd Season<\/span>: This has the same type of comedy style as the first season\u2026 only more exaggerated. The storyline isn&#8217;t all that interesting either as Louise, despite finding out about her power last season, still seems to be rather ineffective. Capping things off they had to go and ruin an otherwise perfect ending with the cheap humor.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zhen Hun Jie<\/span>: In broad strokes this is a pretty by-the-numbers start to a battle shounen with lackluster animation. It does a few interesting things though and its flashback half builds up to a pretty good plot twist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zone of the Enders: 2167 Idolo<\/span>: A bit rushed and the depicted events lack weight\/meaning. Possibly important as a lead-in to the TV series.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Zone of the Enders: Dolores,i<\/span>: Complete nonsense. Utterly ridiculous. Basically a joke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voting System 5.5: Did not like personally, but can see why others would enjoy it. 5: Average, not worth watching. 1-4: Varying degrees of technical quality issues and personal annoyance\/dislike. Disliked Anime (5.5) .hack\/\/SIGN: Beautiful animation, interesting story, and atrocious pacing&#8230; the pacing completely ruins this otherwise great series. Lingering on one character&#8217;s unchanging expression for 5+ minutes is just not acceptable. 00:08: An abstract little short that seems to exist just for the sake of existing. Art for the sake of art. 1001 Nights: An abstract story told solely through ephemeral arthouse-style visuals (the only dialog is the opening narration). Its main draws are the artwork and the music, so if you&#8217;re looking for something conventional it won&#8217;t be of much interest. 3&#215;3 Eyes: The first OVA series is remarkably similar to a battle shounen and pretty average. The sequel is quite a bit better, but still feels rather dated and I couldn&#8217;t really get into it. Accel World: An interesting concept completely ruined with an insufferable main character. Action Heroine: Cheer Fruits: Well-made enough if you don&#8217;t dislike super sentai. Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hachi Gakari: A super sentai series in the guise of a police series.
