Because I watch so much anime and will eventually provide a short review of all of them, I decided to give this a separate page.
Listed aphabetically.
The above is a complete list of anime that I have on DVD or have downloaded, and which out of those I have watched so far. As I finish more series and those already listed as finished, will eventually have a "review" on this page. In the meantime if you are interested in one on the list, and I have not reviewed it, feel free to toss me a quick e-mail and I'll happily give you my thoughts on it. Although to be honest it would probably be better, and easier to just look up a review of it on google or something ;)
- Candy Boy is about two twin sisters with a close relationship, it's considered yuri, although I dunno if I would really label it as such exactly. One of the characters is a little obsessively in love with one of the sisters, but its not like they make-out or anything of that nature. I haven't watched in a while, but I don't remember it being that interesting tbh, so its not one I would necessarily recommend.
Dance in the Vampire Bund
- Loved this show. I tend to like really vampire focused shows like this or "Hellsing". I can't wait for the next season if they have one. One thing I was particularly happy about is they covered a lot in the 12-episode first season. There weren't any purely "filler" episodes as far as I can remember. That's a huge pet-peeve of mine, when a show only has 12 episodes and half of them are fillers. I was also glad that they ended this season in a way that could be left as such, but at the same time has a cliffhanger, meaning they could easily have another season.
Honey & Clover
- This is one of those shows that tons of people either hate it or they love it. The episodes themselves are pretty slow paced (although even by episode 18 of the first season, at least 2 years have passed..) which is one of the reasons people drop it, they find it too boring. And I admit I took a long time to watch it. I tended to watch a few episodes every once in a while because I couldn't watch it all at once. But that doesn't mean I hated it, on the contrary I really liked this show. Some characters were annoying, some I loved, some parts were funny, and some were serious. I enjoyed the art/animation. I also found the plot, character development, and music to be pretty good, so no complaints there. Its one I would recommend that you try out, but not one I can say everyone will enjoy.
Junjou Romantica
- Another of my favorite anime. It is BL/shonen-ai, so if you don't like that, then don't watch. I'm not one for yaoi anime like "Ikoku Irokai Romantan" or "Kirepapa". But BL anime like Junjou and "Gravitation" were ones I enjoyed. Junjou is fairly similar to Gravitation and in my opinion a lot better. Even though I love Gravitation, I love Junjou more. Lol
Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl
- This show was pretty good.. a little weird (sex changes and aliens..), and the teacher's voice and character was annoying as hell, thankfully she's not around that much, but everything else was fine. It got better as it went a long. Some of the music was quite pretty, especially the piano peice used in a few episodes (it plays right at the beginning of episode 12). Episode 11 and 12 were really sad :( I actually liked how it ended, although I know a lot of people would have preferred that Hazumu choose the other person. But thats what the OVA is for ;D Anyway if you don't mind a bit of yuri (the focus is on girl romance, although the main girl used to be a boy so.. anyways the girls just kiss a few times) and you have some time to check it, you might as well.
NANA
- One of my favorite series and one that I can easily watch many times over. Amazing show, amazing music, amazing characters. It has fun moments, serious moments, and sad moments. Although I'd say the overall tone of the show is kind of sad. Sometimes listening to either of the Nana's talk at the beginning or end of the episode made me feel like crying, even listening to some of the music from the soundtrack makes me tear up. Lol. Although I also know what happens in the manga, so I may have been influenced a bit by that. I also find the second half of the show much sadder than the first. I teared/cried up in several episodes in the second half.
Ouran High School Host Club
- This was an awesome anime <3 Definately one of my favorites and definately one that everyone should watch :D I can't wait for the next season (assuming they have one)
Spice & Wolf
- absolutely loved this one. Good plot, animation, characters, etc. I loved Horo and Lawrence's banter and the "pretending" they did with one another, and I found, unlike many other shows, that I wasn't annoyed by the fact that they never kissed/said I love you until the end. They had enough intimate moments (hugging, holding hands, certain things they said to eachother), so there wasn't all that frustration as the viewer, y'know? And although it wasn't physically action packed, there were a few epsiodes that presented what I suppose you might call "psychological" action. Like the merchant-duel that Lawrence has with Amanti, it made you try and figure out their scheme and understand the trading world, and although the outsome was obvious, I was still anxious to see how their deals would go down. Finally I also liked the fact that Lawrence and Horo were aware of the fact that she was immortal and he wasn't. In lots of things with immortals, its either never brought up, or brought up once but never with any sort of decision regarding the future. Where as I found that it was actually a pretty big conflict I suppose you could say, something they talked about often-ish, along with Horo's dreams of him dying, to me it was all very realistic. Neither of the characters was seeing through rose-colored glasses.
Vampire Princess Miyu
- Not quite what I expect of a vampire show, but I still enjoyed it. There wasn't much of a plot though, each episode had its own monster/demon/whatever to fight, without much continuation into the next episode. But it worked. Its good for some time-killing though.
Yozakura Quartet
- I liked this series, it was a little boring in some episodes, but I still really enjoyed it.
