take a look at sakakirules1229's Manga
Seen all Rating Comment
11eyes (TV) Very good
5 Centimeters Per Second (movie) Excellent This is three, 20-30 minute segments. The first is the best, but all around a fantastic story. The animation is fricken AMAZING. Everything looks real. I've never seen better animation. The last segment leaves something to be desired, however. There's a lot of story that's left out there but not explored --- a lot more that could have been done. But I'm so glad I bought the DVD. It's a wonderful story.
A-Channel (TV) Good
Accel World (TV) Excellent
After the Rain (TV) Very good This was a great series. I loved the tender moments between the two lead characters. I liked the relationships among the friends and coworkers. It really was a glimpse into the feelings of a 17-year-old girl and a 45-year-old man. Wonderful show -- don't miss it!!
Ah! My Goddess (TV) Very good
Air (TV) Very good (sub), Excellent (dub)
Air (movie) Good
Air In Summer (special) Good
Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor (TV) Very good
Akebi's Sailor Uniform (TV) Excellent
Alice & Zoroku (TV)
Alice or Alice (TV) Decent
Amagami SS (TV) Good
Amagi Brilliant Park (TV)
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV) Masterpiece This has unseated Clannad as my favorite anime. The story is phenomenal. The acting is superb, and they make you care about their characters from the first episode. The research that went into the accuracy of the Celtic Paganism is top notch; they really got the tiniest details right. The only flaw I can find in this series is that there isn't more of it. I WILL purchase this when it's put on blu ray.
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (OAV 2) Excellent
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV 2) Excellent
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV 3) Excellent
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride: Those Awaiting a Star (OAV) Excellent
Angel Beats! (TV) Excellent
Angel Sanctuary (OAV) Good
(The) Animatrix (OAV) Excellent
Anime-Gataris (TV) Good
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (TV) Excellent
Appleseed (OAV) So-so
Aquarian Age - Sign for Evolution (TV) Very good Great casting; good story. Kinda sappy ending.
(The) Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water (TV)
Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds (TV) Very good
Azumanga Daioh (TV) Excellent
Bakemonogatari (TV) Masterpiece This was an amazing anime series. You'll care about the characters. The humor was smart. The writing was fantastic. There was never a non-interesting or "filler" episode; it was phenomenal from beginning to end.
Basilisk (TV) Very good
Best Student Council (TV) Good
Beyond the Boundary (TV) Excellent
Bible Black (OAV) Excellent Best hentai I've seen so far.
Bible Black: New Testament (OAV) Good
Black Bullet (TV) Excellent
Black Cat (TV)
Black Lagoon (TV) Very good
Black Rock Shooter (OAV) Excellent I loved this OAV --- except the ending. But not for the reason you may think. I interpreted the "other world" sequences as an interpretation of one character's feelings toward the other character. But at the "end," my hubby said that it was a non-sequential-scene anime, and the "other world" sequences should have happened after the school sequences. And that kind of recked it for me. If my interpretation was correct, it would have been a better anime for me.
Blend S (TV) Very good
Blood+ (TV) Excellent WONDERFUL. A MUST see.
Blood: The Last Vampire (movie) Excellent
Bloom Into You (TV) Very good
Blue Drop (TV) Very good
Blue Exorcist (TV) Excellent
Blue Exorcist (movie) Very good
Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga (TV)
(La) Blue Girl (OAV) Weak (dub), Decent (sub)
(La) Blue Girl Returns (OAV)
Brynhildr in the Darkness (TV) Good
Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (TV)
Bunny Drop (TV) Excellent
Burst Angel (TV)
Calamity of a Zombie Girl (ONA) Awful They should have stopped the title at Calamity......... This was horrible. BAD. Not even laughably bad. Just BAD.
CANAAN (TV) Excellent
Cells at Work! (TV) Masterpiece
Cells at Work!! (TV 2)
Charlotte (TV 2015)
(Le) Chevalier D'Eon (TV)
Chio's School Road (TV) Excellent I had no idea what this anime was going to be about or what to expect. It was hilarious! This is one of those series you could watch over and over, and it would be enjoyable every time. It's just extremely funny and extremely entertaining.
Chobits (TV) Very good LOVE Sumomo!!! I now have a complete Sumomo addiction....
Chrono Crusade (TV) Very good
Citrus (TV) Very good
Clannad (movie) Excellent
Clannad (TV) Not really good (dub), Masterpiece (sub) This series is one of my top 3 of all time. The story is wonderful. The characters are funny, amazing, your best friends. There wasn't anything about this I didn't like --- I didn't want to stop watching. While several of the English VAs did a great job, there were several that were just not right for the role; they didn't fit the character (just didn't sound right). That's not their fault; it's the fault of the director who cast them in that role or didn't get the right sound from them. That's why I gave it an ok: still a great story, just not as perfect as the Japanese version.
Clannad After Story (TV) Masterpiece
Claymore (TV) Excellent Fantastic anime. The animation was very gothic (lots of blacks and greys), but beautiful. I cared about the characters, especially through the main "Theresa" story. I really enjoyed this anime.
CODE-E (TV) Very good
Comic Girls (TV) Excellent
Cool Devices (OAV) Good I've seen 2 of the 4 volumes; I probably won't see the other volumes because of the "story" line, but the ones I've seen were good.
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Excellent I don't know what was better, the story or the music. Fantastic!!!
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Excellent
Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth - The Animation (TV) Very good
Cross Game (TV) Good I cared about several of the characters in this anime, but this series took a long time to get to a destination. I think this could have easily been a 24-ep series, especially if several of the episodes hadn't been nothing more than watching an animated baseball game. No kidding -- that was the entire ep. An animated baseball game. It was worth watching, but not more than that.
D.N.Angel (TV) Very good
Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV) Good
Darwin's Game (TV) Very good
Date A Live (TV) Awful (dub), Excellent (sub)
Date A Live II (TV)
DearS (TV) Good
Death Note (TV) Masterpiece This was unbelievable. The writing was superb. Couldn't ask for more.
Demon King Daimao (TV) Very good
Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (TV) Very good (dub), Excellent (sub) Great story; I give the edge to the Japanese version because the voice actors weren't so melodramatic --- they weren't as over the top as the English actors. Well, ONE English actor was way too dramatic. The last two episodes were much better in Japanese.
(The) Devil Is a Part-Timer! (TV) Very good
Devil May Cry (TV) Very good It was a little like watching a "live action comic book," but overall, it was entertaining. :D
Devils' Line (TV) Very good
Dr. Stone (TV) Excellent
Dragonar Academy (TV) Excellent
E's Otherwise (TV)
Eden of the East (TV) Very good I would give this anime a higher rating if it hadn't just ended. There were lots of unanswered questions after the final episode. Otherwise, this was a fantastic story, and you'll really care about the characters. I really enjoyed this series --- until the end.
ef: a tale of memories (TV) Very good
Elegant Yokai Apartment Life (TV) Very good
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece (dub & sub) I give the edge to the english sub, but the dub was equally as entertaining. They stayed very (very) close to the Japanese script. You won't be disappointed with either version. Phenomenal anime!!!
ERASED (TV) Excellent The story was fantastic -- probably the best I've seen in a couple of years.
Eromanga Sensei (TV) Very good
Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone (movie) Excellent
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance (movie) Excellent
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (movie) Masterpiece
Fate/Apocrypha (TV) Very good
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya (TV)
Fate/stay night (TV) Excellent
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV)
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV 2)
Fate/Zero (TV) Excellent
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie) Decent If you're not familiar with the game, most of this won't make sense to you. Great animation and music.
Flip Flappers (TV) Very good
Flying Witch (TV) Very good
Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club (TV)
Fruits Basket (TV 1/2001) Excellent
Fruits Basket (TV 2/2019) Excellent
Fruits Basket the Final (TV)
Full Metal Panic! (TV) Excellent
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (TV) Very good (sub), Excellent (dub) Excellent until the ending. VERY disappointing ending. Update: I just saw the entire FMP: 2nd Raid in English dub. I liked it MUCH MUCH better the second time around. While there are still a lot of questions not answered and story lines not addressed, it was much more enjoyable with the English cast.
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)
Fullmetal Alchemist (TV) Masterpiece Awesome anime. However, you really have to see the movie to complete the series. Otherwise, you will be disappointed with the ending (like I was). This is just a phenomenal series.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV) Very good This was enjoyable to watch --- good story --- but so different from the original!!! I enjoyed the story and the lesson it taught about the philosopher's stone so much more in the original. This one fell short of the mark for me in that regard. The animation was superb.
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa Masterpiece You MUST see this after you finish the series. It answers a lot of questions and "fixes" the ending (if you will).
Fuuka (TV) Very good
Gamers! (TV) Very good
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (TV) Excellent
Gantz (TV) Good I bought the first and second season box sets, and watched them both over a period of a week. Good story, lots of violence and fan service. Nowhere near as good as the hype would make you believe -- some people think this is the best anime ever. And it's not. But it's worth seeing. Patton is great in this series, as is Chris Ayers.
(The) Garden of Words (movie) Masterpiece There is nothing I dislike about this movie. The animation is astoundingly beautiful!! The story is fantastic. I LOVE this movie.
Getbackers (TV) Very good
Ghost in the Shell (movie) Excellent
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (movie) Very good
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (TV) Masterpiece This is simply awesome.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (TV) Masterpiece The second season is, in my opinion, better than the first. And the first was a masterpiece. If it were possible to rate something higher than masterpiece, like Masterpiece Plus, this would be it.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society (movie) Masterpiece
Ghost Stories (TV) Not really good (sub), Very good (dub) The Japanese script is very boring; the English is HILARIOUS.
Ghost Talker's Daydream (OAV) Good
Gilgamesh (TV) Good The last 6-8 eps were very good, but it took a long time to get there. This was a very slow-moving anime. The animation style was beautiful, but the story really dragged, especially in the beginning. Worth seeing, but it's not in my top 20 of all time.
A Girl & Her Guard Dog (TV) Very good
(The) Girl Who Leapt Through Time (movie) Masterpiece Just awesome. The animation is phenomenal --- on par with "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Place Promised in Our Early Days." Just amazing animation. But the characters were people you cared about --- people you probably know. The story was fantastic. Awesome anime all around.
Girl's High (TV)
Girlfriend, Girlfriend (TV)
Girls Bravo (TV) Very good
Goblin Slayer (TV) Very good
Golden Boy (OAV) Very good
Golden Kamuy (TV 1) Excellent
Golden Time (TV)
Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun (TV) Good Just like the rating says, "Good; worth seeing." And that's it. It was good. Not Earth shattering, not overly dramatic, just entertaining and a fun anime to watch. A 6 out of 10, if you will.
Gravion (TV) Very good
Gravion Zwei (TV) Very good
Green Green (TV) Good
Gunslinger Girl (TV) Very good
H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ (TV) Good
Haganai (TV) Good
Haibane Renmei (TV) Very good
Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (TV) Very good This was enjoyable in spots, slow in others. There's a LOT of political, feudal Japan info in this one, so if you're not into that, steer clear. The characters are great, however. You'll really care about them. The first season ends in the middle of the story, which is kind of annoying ('cause now you have to watch season 2 to find out the ending).
Hanasaku Iroha - Blossoms for Tomorrow (TV) Excellent
Hanaukyo Maid Team: La Verite (TV) Decent
Hanaukyo Maid-tai (TV) Very good
Hanayamata (TV) Very good
Happy Lesson (TV) Very good
Happy Sugar Life (TV) Good This show is **very** dark. There are elements that are cute, but they're lulling you into a false sense of security. Dark....
Haruka Nogizaka's Secret (TV) Very good
He Is My Master (TV) Good
Heaven's Memo Pad (TV) Excellent
Hellsing (TV) Very good
Hellsing Ultimate (OAV) Excellent The OAV's (there are three) are wonderful --- much darker than the original Hellsing. I enjoyed these more than I did the original, and I loved the original. Excellent.
Hensuki (TV) Very good
(The ")Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat. (TV)
High School DxD (TV) Bad (dub), Good (sub) The English dub is horrible. Not because of the actors --- they're pretty decent. It's the translation!!! I don't know why Funimation feels the need to rewrite the scripts when it translates, but this is not the first anime to get a rewrite when put into dubs. Even when there are NO lip flaps to deal with, they change the script. I don't get it!!! But this is Funimation's MO. They rewrite a lot. Stick with the original Japanese.
High School DxD BorN (TV) Very good
High School DxD New (TV) Very good
High School of the Dead (TV) Very good
Hinako Note (TV) Very good
Hinamatsuri (TV) Excellent
His and Her Circumstances (TV) Excellent Great anime, but weak ending. I would like to see 3-4 more eps to address the stuff the writers just left hanging --- especially with the main characters. I'm going to read the manga now in order to find out what happens.....
Hot for Teacher (OAV) Decent
How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (TV) Good This was good, and that's about it. There was fan service, humor, drama, and the typical anime harem. It also had the "person in a game" aspect which has become popular over the past two or three years. I liked the characters, and it was entertaining (i.e., kept my interest), but it was just good. 6/10.
How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Omega (TV)
Howl's Moving Castle (movie) Masterpiece This was just awesome.....
HYOUKA (TV) Very good
If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord (TV) Very good
Ikki Tousen (TV) Good The first time I started watching this series, I didn't really like it. I hadn't watched that much anime at the time, and I was (frankly) bored by the apparent lack of story and overwhelming fighting angle. Well, now that I'm a "seasoned vet," ha ha ha, I gave it another shot. It's actually pretty good. Now my favorite anime of all time, but I don't feel like I wasted my time by watching it. I'm 4 eps into Dragon Destiny, so it's kept my interest well enough to start watching the second series.
In/Spectre (TV) Very good
Interspecies Reviewers (TV) Very good
Interviews with Monster Girls (TV) Very good
(The) irregular at magic high school (TV)
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV) Excellent
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV 2)
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III (TV)
Izetta: The Last Witch (TV) Good
Jinki:Extend (TV) Very good I saw the first two eps in Japanese while at Anime Boston (where it was premiered). I thought at that time I wouldn't see any more of the series. Then, when it came out as an English dub, I was AMAZED at how wonderful the acting was. I watched the whole series. Brittney Karbowski (Aoba) is phenomenal. She's just a great actor. I'm glad I gave the series another chance; otherwise, I would have missed a great anime series. Don't miss this one.
Juden Chan (TV) Good
K-ON! (TV) Excellent I really enjoyed this anime. I thought the characters were cute, funny, and I loved the relationship among the girls. I loved the music, too. It was just a fun show!!!
K-ON!! (TV 2) Excellent
KADO - The Right Answer (TV) Excellent
Kämpfer (TV) Good
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens (TV) Very good I really liked this anime, and I would rate it Excellent if the series hadn't ended smack dab in the middle of the damned story!!! What is it with anime series not finishing their stories??? NOTHING is resolved in this series.... very annoying. The extra ep is very funny, but doesn't add anything to the main series (i.e., truly an extra). Great characters, but not enough episodes.
Kanon (TV 2/2006) Masterpiece (dub & sub) While I love Brittney Karbowski to death, the Japanese voice actor for Ayu was just that much better. This story is amazing in either English or Japanese.
Karin (TV) Very good Very cute, great story. Funny. Really worth seeing.
Kasimasi - Girl Meets Girl (TV) Very good
Katanagatari (TV) Excellent
Kaze no Stigma (TV) Very good This was good. Funny, some parts dramatic, but kinda predictable. Entertaining and enjoyable though.
Kekko Kamen (OAV) Decent Kinda silly, but fun.
Kiddy Grade (TV) Very good
Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de (TV) Good
Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You (TV) Good I LOVED this anime series. I loved the characters, the relationships among them, and the story. What I DIDN'T like was the fact that it was dragged out unnecessarily. They are making a second season of this anime for really no reason. The last 4-5 eps of this series were really nothing -- no story at all. They could have easily finished the story and done one season and been done with it. That's the only thing stopping me from making this Excellent.
Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season (TV) Very good Ok. After the slower-than-death development of the main romance in Season One, I was looking forward to Season Two finally having some...well..... ROMANCE. I was very depressed that the first 2-3 episodes were amazingly frustrating --- "Not more misunderstandings!!!" --- but they quickly turned around. This season was funny, had new characters, and was actually enjoyable. I thoroughly enjoyed the second season.
Kimikiss pure rouge (TV) Very good
Kite (OAV) Good
Kobato. (TV) Excellent I started this anime not expected a whole lot more than a cute anime. I mean, a cute girl with a little stuffed animal??? I wasn't expecting more than a cute, kid's anime. I got so much more. It was a great story; I cared about the characters; it was funny and heartfelt, and sweet. I really enjoyed this series. :D
Koi Kaze (TV) Very good
Kurenai (TV) Excellent
Ladies versus Butlers! (TV) So-so I'm really over the whole "butlers and maids and slap-stick 'comedy' and yelling and for nothing" anime...... Seriously. GET A STORY.
Laid-Back Camp (TV) Excellent
Laid-Back Camp (TV 2)
Lesbian Ward (OAV) Weak Not very erotic; some gross stuff (i.e., enemas don't do it for me...)
Little Busters! (TV) Very good
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar (TV) Good
Little Witch Academia (TV) Excellent
(The) Lost Village (TV) Good
Love and Lies (TV)
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! (TV)
Lucky Star (TV) Masterpiece This was a phenomenal anime!!! :D It's hilarious, smart, cute, fun --- I just couldn't wait to watch more and more. LOVED this anime. I'm praying it gets licensed in this country. If it doesn't, I'll buy the Japanese (Zone 2???) DVDs.
Lunar Legend Tsukihime (TV) Good
Maburaho (TV) Good
Made in Abyss (TV)
Madlax (TV) Very good
Magical Girl Raising Project (TV) Very good
Magical Girl Site (TV) Very good
Magical Play (ONA) Good
Magical Warfare (TV)
Magnetic Rose (movie) Masterpiece
Mahoromatic - Automatic Maiden (TV) Good
Maid Sama! (TV) Excellent
Maria Holic (TV) Good I went back and forth from Good to Very Good on this one. I left it as Good because while it was funny, entertaining, and I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it, it was just a very flat story, i.e., not a lot of substance. Other than the two main girls (one of which is really a guy in girl's clothing) and one girl who constantly gets nosebleeds, there isn't much else going on. And when you get to the 12 ep, it's just over. I tend to like anime series' that have more of a story, so by ep 8-10, I was kinda bored. But like I said, it's funny, so it's worth seeing.
Masamune-kun's Revenge (TV) Good
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) Excellent (dub & sub) I struggled with the rating of this, seeing how many people thought this was a Masterpiece. I thought Kyon was excellent. His character was hysterical. The other characters were funny, cute, entertaining. But the overall story was not, in my opinion, "Exquisite beyond words." I think it was very good. I enjoyed it. I think everyone should see it. Addendum: I've now seen it a second time with English dubs as well as in the episode order rather than broadcast order. This is a great anime. It's funny, it's entertaining. If you haven't seen it yet, see it in broadcast order first, then see it in episode order.
(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV 2009 renewal) Good
(The) Melody of Oblivion (TV)
Mezzo (TV) Very good
Mezzo Forte (OAV) Very good
Millennium Actress (movie) Masterpiece
(The) Misfit of Demon King Academy (TV) Very good
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (TV) Excellent
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S (TV)
MM! (TV) Good
Monster (TV)
Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls (TV)
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (TV) Excellent
MoonPhase (TV) Excellent
Moriarty the Patriot (TV) Very good
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (TV 1) Very good
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (TV 2) Very good
My Dress-Up Darling (TV) Very good This was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I'm so glad I gave it a shot because it turned out to be a really good show. The characters are very realistic, cool people you end up caring about. It was a lot of fun!
My Roommate is a Cat (TV) Excellent
My-HiME (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)
Myself; Yourself (TV) Very good
Mysteria Friends (TV) Very good
(The) Mystic Archives of Dantalian (TV) Very good
Nagasarete Airantou (TV) Very good
Najica Blitz Tactics (TV) Very good
Nanatsuiro Drops (TV) Very good This was really cute. It was fun to watch. You really care about the lead characters while watching the story. It's not in my top 10, but I enjoyed watching this series.
Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) Excellent (dub & sub) Excellent until the end --- then it gets VERY heavy; far too much philosophy for a relaxing afternoon of anime. Watch "End of Evangelion" for the last 2 eps.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth (movie) Good (dub & sub)
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie) Excellent (dub & sub)
Night Wizard The Animation (TV) Very good
No. 6 (TV) Excellent
Noir (TV) Excellent
Nyan Koi! (TV) Good It's funny in spots, cute in spots, but the girls are annoying, and the lead male is SHY!!! He doesn't say anything, never sticks up for himself, so therefore, he misses out on so many opportunities as well as making things worse for himself. It's a good anime, but not outstanding.
Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions (TV)
One Week Friends (TV)
Orange (TV) Excellent
Oreimo (TV) Very good
Oreimo 2 (TV) Very good
Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart. (TV) Good
Outbreak Company (TV) Decent
Paprika (movie) Very good This is just what the rating says: "Very good, don't miss it." It's not "Excellent, everyone should buy it," and it's certainly not "Exquisite beyond words." It's just "Awesome. Don't miss it." The animation was fantastic. The story was great, but not as in depth as I like an "excellent" story to be, so that's why it's a very good.
Peacemaker (TV) Excellent
Perfect Blue (movie) Excellent
A Place Further Than the Universe (TV)
(The) Place Promised in Our Early Days (movie) Good Phenomenal animation, but the story did not live up to the hype.
Plastic Memories (TV) Very good This was a wonderful anime series. It was funny, dramatic, sad, romantic, silly -- everything a good story should have. I didn't rate this an Excellent, however, because I don't think everyone should own it. I think everyone should see it (you won't be disappointed), but I don't think everyone should run out and buy it.
(Le) Portrait de Petite Cossette (OAV) Very good
Prétear (TV) Excellent
Princess Mononoke (movie) Very good
Princess Nine (TV) Excellent
Princess Tutu (TV) Excellent The first season was very good, and the second season was a masterpiece, but since they lump it all as one, I gave it an excellent. The second season was MUCH better. Just awesome. And don't forget to check out the "In the Studio" sections on the extras. Hilarious. Christine Auten's is the best. I'm still laughing!!!
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (TV) Excellent
Puni Puni Poemy (OAV) Very good
(The) Quintessential Quintuplets (TV)
(The) Quintessential Quintuplets ∬ (TV 2)
(The) Qwaser of Stigmata (TV) Decent
RahXephon (TV) Excellent
RahXephon (OAV) Good
Rainbow - Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin (TV) Excellent
Re:CREATORS (TV)
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV)
Read or Die (OAV) Very good
Real Girl (TV) Good
Recently, my sister is unusual. (TV) Good
Recovery of an MMO Junkie (TV) Excellent
ReLIFE (TV) Excellent
Rent-A-Girlfriend (TV)
Rewrite (TV) Weak For a Key anime, this was horrible. I expected much more from Key than this. The story changed drastically several times -- it felt like it was all over the place. Then it was over. It didn't really explain much as to the why's and hows of things that were happening. Then it was over. I really feel like I wasted time watching this.
RIN - Daughters of Mnemosyne (TV) Very good This was excellent. I didn't rate it "Excellent" because I don't think everyone should run out and buy it (as the rating suggests --- everyone should own it), but I DO believe everyone should see it. It was kinda cool the way the segments were presented over a 100-year period. The person(s) who wrote it certainly has some sexual issues they need to deal with (LMAO), but it is a great story. And it's good from beginning to end.
(The) Rising of The Shield Hero (TV)
Ro-Kyu-Bu! (TV) Good
Rosario + Vampire (TV)
(The) Royal Tutor (TV) Very good
Rumbling Hearts (TV) Very good (dub), Masterpiece (sub) The Japanese is much better than the dub. It's not the actors --- they were great. It's the translation and the direction. The english dub doesn't have the emotional impact the orginal Japanese sub does, and the translation "americanized" the anime to the point where it minimized very important scenes that did not need to be changed. It's still very good in English, just nowhere near as good as the Japanese.
RWBY (U.S. ONA) Excellent
S.A (TV) Very good
Sakura Diaries (OAV) Good
Sakura Quest (TV)
Sakura Trick (TV) Good This anime was cute --- cute characters, cute laughs, cute situations. It was lighthearted, sweet. I enjoyed watching it, but I can't say it's something everyone should see. See it if you love cute.
Samurai 7 (TV) Excellent
Samurai Gun (TV) Very good
Sasameki Koto (TV) Very good
School Days (TV) Decent
School Rumble (TV) Masterpiece Just fantastic. It was hilarious, I loved the characters (they reminded me of people I knew --- including myself in some instances). I just loved this. While I understand it's not a drama or what I think of as "moving, substantial story," it had everything a masterpiece should have: great characters; great animation; and great story from beginning to end.
School Rumble: Extra Class (OAV) Excellent Excellent -- a nice "extra."
Scrapped Princess (TV) Good While I think Crispin Freeman did a PHENOMENAL job, I just didn't find myself caring about these characters. I don't know why, but I just wasn't "emotionally tied" to these characters. It was a good story, though.
Scum's Wish (TV) Excellent
Seiren (TV) Good
Seitokai Yakuindomo (TV) So-so
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (TV)
Seven Mortal Sins (TV) Good
Seven Senses of the Reunion (TV) Good
Sex Demon Queen (OAV) Very good
Sexfriend (OAV) Very good
Shakugan no Shana (TV) Masterpiece (dub & sub) Fantastic story. It has you interested from the very beginning, and you care about the characters and their feelings. Both the original Japanese and the English dub are wonderful. Great acting. Great anime.
Shakugan no Shana Second (TV) Good
Shakugan no Shana SP: Koi to Onsen no Kōgai Gakushū! (OAV) Excellent
Shuffle! (TV) Good
Shuffle! Memories (TV) Decent This is basically a rehash of the original series; it's not a second season. While you do get some additional information about the characters, and the stories are told from a different perspective, it's the same story. You wouldn't even need to see the original to see this series, but it helps.

(The) Twelve Kingdoms (TV) Masterpiece My favorite anime. This story is amazing. I wanted more.....
Umineko - When They Cry (TV) Good Too long!!! Also far too much going on.... They changed the story every 4 episodes.... After 20 eps, it was hard to keep everything straight. I got sick of it, honestly. I found myself more annoyed than entertained.
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! (TV) Excellent
Vampire Hunter D (OAV) Excellent
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (movie) Excellent
Vampire Knight (TV) Very good This was really good --- until the last episode. Is this a recurring theme in anime??? To be really awesome and blow it in the last ep??? Well, I'm hoping the second season continues where this season abruptly left off. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this anime. It's a good story. And the boys are beautiful. LOL
Vampire Knight Guilty (TV) Excellent
Violet Evergarden (TV) Excellent This anime was incredible. The animation was gorgeous -- simply stunning, and the story was fantastic. There wasn't a character I didn't care about or empathize with when something happened to them. This is one of the best anime I've seen in years.
Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll (movie) Excellent

Wandering Witch - The Journey of Elaina (TV) Good
WATAMOTE (TV) Good
Weathering With You (movie) Masterpiece I have not seen any better or more beautiful animation. It looked like film, not animation. The story was fantastic. I loved this.
When They Cry - Higurashi (TV) Bad (dub), Excellent (sub) The Japanese with English subtitles is EXCELLENT. Very dark, very violent, and a fantastic story. The English dub, however, is horrible. All but one of the actors sounds like they are reading the script for a Saturday morning cartoon. They suck. I could only watch 3-4 eps in English before I said, "That's it. I can't take it any more." The lead male was the worst. He sounded like he was reading a story to little kids on Sesame Street. Just horrible. Stick with the Japanese, and you won't be disappointed.
When They Cry - Kai (TV) Very good This was nowhere near as good as the first season. It was slow to get going. Once it did, it was entertaining, but it didn't have nearly the suspense or drama the first season did. It's good to see if you saw the first season, but don't expect the same level of intensity or intrigue.
Witch Craft Works (TV) Very good
Witch Hunter Robin (TV) Very good Great story, great voice acting.... but I don't know what was "missing" to make this Excellent. It was very good, but didn't make me say "Wow! This was awesome." It was (just) very good.
Wolf Children (movie) Very good
Wolf's Rain (TV) Very good
(The) World God Only Knows (TV)
(The) World Is Still Beautiful (TV) Good
WorldEnd (TV) Good
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (TV) Very good This was a great anime series. One of the things I liked the most was that it was about adults rather than the typical 8-12 grader. It's nice to have a story with adults once in a while! It was funny, the characters were likable and engaging, and their interaction was entertaining. You won't be disappointed with this one.
