9.00 (very good) | This one was superb. I didn't think a movie with a biker gang-member for a protagonist could be so deep, but... | ||

"Shoot to death, Shinsou" Bleach isn't my favorite shonen, but it has its moments. It also has its filler. | ||

7.75 (good) | A intriguing, surreal show. Watch the commentary to get a better understanding of the vague plot ... by the time you finish, you might be able to tell all the generic high school girls apart. I liked Boogiepop's hook-shot thing. | ||

7.25 (above average) | This show somehow managed to be simultaneously horrible and unique. The main character is a hikikomori with an awesome voice actor. Terrible things keep happening all around him; he is notified of some bizarre murders before they happen; stereotypical anime girls spout off insane jargon to him at the slightest provocation; he suffers constant hallucinations that blur reality and delusion. And just when I was getting intrigued the anime felt the need to explain everything and degrade into a generic Power Ranger fight against a boring final villain. The show | ||

8.25 (good) | A melancholy show depicting a world where the internet is even more horrible and obnoxious. The protagonists use glasses that allow them to seamlessly interact with the virtual world. This serves as a device that blurs reality and illusion, giving the show an odd 'Plato's Allegory of the Cave' feel. Much of the story is devoted to the characters' longing for something lost or unattainable...it comments on philosophy as related to the human condition, in other words. In spite of all its depth, the show did suffer from under-utilization of some characters, as well as rushed, sappy ending. | ||

7.25 (above average) | A guy with amnesia, no clothes, a gun, and a the world's best cell phone plan is apparently involved in some rich guy's incredibly vague plan to save Japan from something. That's a nice hook, I'd say. Too bad the show ended after throwing the viewer a quick, nonsensical explanation for everything in the last episode, then flashing a 'catch you next season lolz' sign. | ||

6.75 (above average) | Gundam meets surfer culture; all the fun of learning to cope with killing someone while searching for great waves. The show built up a momentum that kept me interested until the last couple of of episodes, which were atrocious. | ||

7.00 (above average) | Military drama, mecha-action and school life are all crammed together to form a vague monstrosity that has no idea what to do with itself. The Second Raid (which I own) easily surpasses the original by maintaining a fairly serious, focused plot line. | ||

5.50 (average) | Great series until it plunged into filler about halfway through. FMA: Brotherhood, however, seems to stick to the manga. I'm hoping this means the new series will avoid the obvious pitfall of having Hitler show up in the finale. | ||

8.50 (very good) | I should specify that I've seen Ga-rei Zero, which is a prequel, I think. Excellent show, although the first few episodes were a bit odd. The plot is mainly driven by character interaction, not action, thus it has many emotional moments. | ||

8.50 (very good) | Normally I don't like comedic animes ... but Gintama has a sharp, spastic wit that makes it obscenely interesting to watch every once and a while. I've seen up to episode 35. | ||

5.75 (average) | How many ways can the same group of emotionally unstable morons kill each other? Okay, this show deserves a bit more credit then that...but it's obvious that it was based off a video game. I think I've seen up until the twenty-second episode of the first season. | ||

8.75 (very good) | A philosophical show that explores why humankind is so irrational. Some people won't like each episode (with one exception) being standalone stories linked together only by the two protagonists, but I don't think this type of show could have been done any other way. | ||

7.50 (good) | The first season was somewhat realistic, with political factions and conflicting ideologies influencing events and driving the show forward. Building off the momentum of the first's finale, the second season started strong but soon made the infinitely foolish mistake of trying to bring romance to the story's forefront. This, coupled with increasingly abstract character motivations, contributed to an overall lackluster ending. | ||

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team Seen: completely Last Updated: Jan 18, 2010 |
9.00 (very good) | One of the best Gundams. The story fits into the Universal Century timeline, but its events aren't directly connected to the older UCs. This is a good thing, because the standalone plot is less convoluted and marred by age than, say, Zeta Gundam. | ||

9.25 (very good) | This was an overall great show. It deals with the subjects such as depression, agoraphobia, and perversion ... and while the tone is somewhat dark (in slight deviation from the manga), the bizarre humor keeps the viewer's mood from plummeting. | ||

8.75 (very good) | Touches upon the angst and pain of everyday life using battle-dolls. While the first season is subtle and psychological, the second expands upon the plot and injects a lot more action into the later episodes. The OVA bridges the gap between the two seasons rather well. Traumed's infamous deus ex magina ending was so horribly unforgivable that the studio even apologized for it. | ||

6.25 (average) | This series proved that stand-alone episodes will never be able to communicate an overarching storyline. Its vague plot existed only as an excuse for flashy fights to occur randomly. | ||
