#	Anime Title	Score	Type	Progress	Premiered	Tags	Studios
1	Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Add - More	10	OVA	110	Winter 1988	The quintessential epic space opera. Has some flaws but compensates splendidly w/ its excellent writing & presentation. Awesome characters, great character development, political commentary, enthralling action, even some romance, this anime has it all.	K-Factory, Kitty Film Mitaka Studio

2	Koe no Katachi Add - More	10	Movie	1	Summer 2016	By far the best film I've ever seen. Is a bit overambitious in adapting the source material, but is well directed, and has an amazing soundtrack. Handles with grace topics such as suicide and depression. A awesome and emotional ending to cap it off.	Kyoto Animation

3	Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou Add - More	10	Movie	1	Winter 2018	Immortal girl adopts boy. So many great themes, on tradition, nationalism, coming-of-age, meaning of life, but above all motherhood. Fantastic worldbuilding, animation, & music as well. Was blessed to watch this w/ my mom, we both were crying by the end.	P.A. Works

4	Tenki no Ko Add - More	10	Movie	1	Summer 2019	Breathtakingly beautiful animation. Unlike other Shinkai films, it felt that every character and scene mattered. Relevant themes on climate change. For my money Shinkai's best work so far.	CoMix Wave Films

5	Summer Ghost Add - More	10	Movie	1	Fall 2021	What’s the purpose of living? Summer Ghost doesn’t pretend that it has the answers, yet despite its limited budget and runtime it manages a suggestion. Ending had me crying for a hour. Good art, great music, and an even more important message.	Flat Studio

6	Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou Add - More	9	TV	26	Fall 1998	90s romcom which despite its low budget makes up w/ some of the funniest visual gags & great character development. Gainax did run out of money eventually & last few episodes are terrible. Still I really loved it, would prefer it over any modern romance.	Gainax, J.C.Staff

7	Mononoke Hime Add - More	9	Movie	1	Summer 1997	As epic as a film can get. Great plot, drama, and story progression. One or two little issues nagged me but besides that it's near perfect	Studio Ghibli

8	Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi Add - More	9	Movie	1	Summer 2001	Great coming of age story. Excellent pacing and storytelling. Well worth its oscar award.	Studio Ghibli

9	Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven Add - More	9	TV	50	Spring 2005	Great romance mecha which also touches on some serious topics such as propaganda, religious persecution, and enviromentalism. Some pacing and narrative issues, but overall one of my all-time favorites.	Bones

10	Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa Add - More	9	Movie	1	Winter 1987	Space race in alt history. Film addresses themes of the human condition, religion, poverty, and war w/ a seriousness but also cynical humor. The animation and music is beyond stupendous. The one rape scene was completely unneeded, aside that it’s great.	Gainax

11	Momoko, Kaeru no Uta ga Kikoeru yo. Add - More	9	Movie	1	Summer 2003	Boy’s severely disabled sister transfers to his school. The animation is pretty bad & it’s meant for a younger audience, yet I still found it extremely touching. Wholesome & tragic, w/ an extremely important message of the intrinsic value everyone has	Magic Bus

12	Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Add - More	9	TV	11	Spring 2011	Powerful story about dealing with loss. Some of the characters were annoying and the big secret reveal at the end was a bit underwhelming, but I would be lying if I denied I was in tears by the end.	A-1 Pictures

13	Hunter x Hunter (2011) Add - More	9	TV	148	Fall 2011	Really fun, the varied caste of characters and compelling plot twists kept the series interesting the whole time. It seemed each arch was better than the last. Some unneeded fan-service and filler but aside that it was great.	Madhouse

14	Sakasama no Patema Add - More	9	Movie	1	Fall 2013	Good premise, compelling plot twist. I like how the story progresses and the ideas of gravity and relationship are explored.	Studio Rikka, Purple Cow Studio Japan

15	Uchiage Hanabi Add - More	9	Music	1	Summer 2017	Great music video, well worth its 500+ million views	Shaft

16	Shika no Ou: Yuna to Yakusoku no Tabi Add - More	9	Movie	1	Winter 2022	Touches upon a myriad of subjects, including ethno-nationalism, religion, imperialism, and medicine. Little rushed & at times a straight rip-off of Princess Mononoke, but it is still exceptionally well directed, well animated, and well made.	Production I.G

17	Monster Add - More	8	TV	74	Spring 2004	Japanese doctor in 90s Germany saves boy who is actually a sociopathic killer. Poses some moral questions & dilemmas. Story does drag at times, contentious ending, not the masterpiece many think it is. Still in terms of mystery & suspense it’s great.	Madhouse

18	Koukaku Kidoutai Add - More	8	Movie	1	Fall 1995	Asks profound questions about transhumanism, identity, what it means to be human. Story ahead of its time, more relevant each day. Animation & music very good. Has overabundance of nudity, condenses the source material, aside that it’s a must watch.	Production I.G

19	Akira Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 1988	Highly influential film, some of the most detailed & fluid cell animation you'll ever see. Ahead of its time both in imagery & themes, yet there is far too much gratuitous violence & the fast pacing can make it confusing if you haven't read the manga.	Tokyo Movie Shinsha

20	Serial Experiments Lain Add - More	8	TV	13	Summer 1998	Well-known cult classic. Hauntingly prophetic in its early depiction of the internet, themes of existentialism & transhumanism are even more relevant. Animation is dated, rather creepy & confusing. Still very good, liked Arisu & Lain's interactions.	Triangle Staff

21	Haibane Renmei Add - More	8	TV	13	Fall 2002	Hard to describe this anime, a journey of rebirth, forgiveness, sin, life & death, that asks many philosophical questions but largely leaves them to the viewer to answer. Plot little slow at times, but Reki & Rakka's development was a joy to watch.	Radix

22	Iria: Zeiram The Animation Add - More	8	OVA	6	Spring 1994	Fighting indestructible monster across space. I was actually rather pleasantly surprised by this, Iria is a great dynamic protagonist, and Zeiram is a truly horrifying villain. Music and animation way ahead for the time.	Ashi Productions

23	Perfect Blue Add - More	8	Movie	1	Winter 1998	Satoshi Kon's first film, a creepy & haunting portrayals of psychosis. I'm still confused on what was real & what was imagined, but that might be the point. Excellently directed & thought provoking, but it's too sexual & disturbing for me to really enjoy.	Madhouse

24	Majo no Takkyuubin Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 1989	Cute story and characters. Good themes on coming-of-age and overcoming depression. Excellent dynamic animation for the 80s. Ending was a little abrupt and storytelling a bit inconsistent.	Studio Ghibli

25	Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä Add - More	8	Movie	1	Winter 1984	Beautifully realized fantasy world, despite it’s age the animation holds up exceptionally. Tackles themes of war, environmentalism, & colonialism. There are a bunch of plot contrivances & Nausicaä is a bit idealistic. Film helped found Studio Ghibli.	Topcraft

26	Mimi wo Sumaseba Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 1995	Comfy coming-of-age story, the art is wonderfully detailed and the story well done. Didn't really care about the romance melodrama, the ending is bit abrupt, still this is one of the better Ghibli films and Slice-of-life anime.	Studio Ghibli

27	Tokyo Godfathers Add - More	8	Movie	1	Fall 2003	Satoshi Kon's more mainstream film of 3 homeless people returning a lost baby to its mother. Great animation, music, characters, there bit too many contrived coincidences & it gets weird at times, but still this is a Christmas movie you won't forget.	Madhouse

28	Black Lagoon Add - More	8	TV	12	Spring 2006	Very politically incorrect anime about kidnaped businessman adopted by pirates & their adventures. Revy mostly carries the show, but other characters are also good. Great English dub. Bit too nihilistic at times but some profound themes as well.	Madhouse

29	Omoide Poroporo Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 1991	Underappreciated Ghibli film. Woman takes break from city to work in countryside while reminiscing over the past. Good themes in coming-ot-age, being autistic, rural life. Only blemish is that the odd linework made the smiling characters look creepy.	Studio Ghibli

30	Kodomo no Omocha (TV) Add - More	8	TV	102	Spring 1996	Laura Bailey's performance as Sana & the awesome dub really carry this goofy shoujo series, although it has plenty of serious moments as well, touches on important themes. Does decline a bit in the second half, some cringy filler episodes and arcs.	Gallop

31	Death Note Add - More	8	TV	37	Fall 2006	Well-known show, title self-explanatory. First 12 episodes were great, but the story does falter a bit in the second half. Not a big fan of the artstyle or music, second op was particularly irritating. Still in terms of suspense & drama it's really good	Madhouse

32	Paprika Add - More	8	Movie	1	Fall 2006	Basically Inception the anime. Great art & music was catchy, extremely convoluted though, still confused over what the film was about. The premise of hacking into dreams could be done better, still it's one of the most imaginative animes out there.	Madhouse

33	Dennou Coil Add - More	8	TV	26	Spring 2007	Mystery about risks of virtual reality, gets more interesting with each new episode. Some unneeded filler halfway through & I wasn’t a fan of the animation style, but Dennou Coil manages to be kid-friendly yet also ominous. Ending confusing but nice.	Madhouse

34	Mononoke Add - More	8	TV	12	Summer 2007	Medicine vendor goes around historical Japan exorcising ghost in 5 separate arcs. The art is some of the most colorful, bizarre, & unique in anime, although the faces were rather ugly. Good portrayal of the human condition, themes of greed, lust, envy.	Toei Animation

35	Kaiba Add - More	8	TV	12	Spring 2008	Very experimental/avant-garde show that despite its goofy art style still manages to tackle themes of transhumanism, identity, memories & classism. Story is convoluted, finale is bizarre, but some great character moments & awesome music.	Madhouse

36	Toradora! Add - More	8	TV	25	Fall 2008	Started off slow, but grew on me. Doesn't do anything new in the romance genre but has good character development and story structure. The fanservice was unneeded and the last episode felt a little rushed. Still a good watch overall.	J.C.Staff

37	Hotarubi no Mori e Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 2011	Fresh and unique supernatural romance. Only 40 minuets, could’ve been longer but still packs an emotional punch. Not the biggest fan of how it ended but still pretty good for what it was suppose to be.	Brain's Base

38	Psycho-Pass Add - More	8	TV	22	Fall 2012	Some decent social commentary, the grotesque violence at times made it a difficult watch. Akane's character development & her relationship w/ Kagami was a joy to see. Makishima is a copy of Johan from Monster, but this show is just as good if not better.	Production I.G

39	Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso Add - More	8	TV	22	Fall 2014	Probably deserves an 9 or higher. Heartbreaking tale of a young pianist trying to overcome his troubled past. The overly repetitive dialogue and out-of-place humor bothered me though. Still made me cry in the end.	A-1 Pictures

40	Hibike! Euphonium Add - More	8	TV	13	Spring 2015	High school band aims to reach nationals w/ all the hardship & practice that takes. Impressive production by KyoAni, fantastic animation, sound, music, voice acting, & character development. Slightly tarnished by the unneeded melodrama & yuri bait.	Kyoto Animation

41	Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda. Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 2015	Film deals w/ social anxiety & trauma caused by divorce, in the form of students putting on a musical. I liked that all the characters got some development, the melodrama tarnished it a bit and feel conflicted about the ending, still hit me in the feels.	A-1 Pictures

42	Kimi no Na wa. Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 2016	Visually stunning, the music's good too, can see why it's so popular. Wish there was a little more character development, the twists and turns in the story were enjoyable though. Personally I prefer "Tenki no Ko" as my favorite Shinkai film.	CoMix Wave Films

43	Beautiful World Add - More	8	Music	1	Fall 2014	Nice music video. Personally I prefer the full song version. Haven't seen the movie but maybe I will after this.	Khara

44	Violet Evergarden Add - More	8	TV	13	Winter 2018	Exquisite animation, emotionally powerful. Some brutally sad episodes (7, 10, 11). That said, the constant switch between series and episodic storytelling left the show feeling unfocused.	Kyoto Animation

45	Shelter (Music) Add - More	8	Music	1	Fall 2016	Music video about a girl expressing her imagination and memories through an ipad. The twist ending was confusing, needed to rewatch to get it. Still the artwork was fantastic and the music was nice, wish Porter Robinson did more collabs with anime.	A-1 Pictures

46	Tsuki ga Kirei Add - More	8	TV	12	Spring 2017	Refreshingly clean & cutesy romance w/out fanservice or melodrama. The artstyle is a little odd especially the 3D background people. The thing of the one guy crushing on his teacher was unnecessary, but aside that the story was wholesome, I liked it.	feel.

47	Koe no Katachi Specials Add - More	8	Special	2	Spring 2017	Basically just two AMVs with some original animation. I still liked it a lot though, the second song especially is my favorite of the whole soundtrack, little sad it didn't make it to the film.	Kyoto Animation

48	Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 2018	A real tearjerker, tells you exactly how it will end in the beginning yet it still manages to shock you. Some of the character interactions were cringy, final few scenes could’ve been better. Still has poignant message on mortality & meaning of life.	Studio VOLN

49	Fumetsu no Anata e Add - More	8	TV	20	Spring 2021	Immortal shapeshifter meets people of different backgrounds & cultures pursued by supernatural foes. Themes of mortality, relationships, life's meaning. Real tearjerker as many characters die. Animation & story do regress somewhat as series progresses.	Brain's Base

50	Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san Add - More	8	Movie	1	Spring 2021	A movie about making a movie lol. Colorful animation, intriguing group of characters, fast-paced plot. A fun viewing experience, although the story gets bit ridiculous towards the end, bit rushed too. An anime for cinema nerds.	CLAP

51	Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi Add - More	8	Movie	1	Summer 2022	Great animation, the voice acting & music was also great. Main duo had weird chemistry, also was a bit cliché at times. Feel conflicted about the ending, seemed rushed & apparently they skipped a lot of the source material. I still cried, it was touching	CLAP

52	Shirayuki Add - More	8	Music	1	Fall 2022	Animated music video. Amazingly beautiful animation, I really liked the fantasy worldbuilding they were able to do in just 5 minuets. Music was okay, not the biggest fan of Eve's songs, underlying story was little confusing to grasp.	CloverWorks

53	Trigun Add - More	7	TV	26	Spring 1998	Good characters & the awesome English dub is just golden. However the show can be really, really, pretentious in preaching its pacifist message, and the sentimentality is pretty forced. First half was fun, second half more profound but also bit cringy.	Madhouse

54	Texhnolyze Add - More	7	TV	22	Spring 2003	Fighting to survive in cyberpunk dystopia. It’s not a pleasant viewing experience; Texhnolyze is slow, creepy, unbelievably dark & bleak. Not something I’d usually watch, but despite its nihilism it has something profound to say about human nature.	Madhouse

55	Shinseiki Evangelion Add - More	7	TV	26	Fall 1995	Captivating 90s mecha, can easily see why it is so influential. Shoe string budget and nonsensical final 2 episodes do drag it down though.	Gainax, Tatsunoko Production

56	Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Add - More	7	TV	94	Winter 1996	Famed samurai vows never to kill again. Grounded shonen, enjoyed the Jidaigeki vibes, good characters, actually most of the filler was okay although last 1/3 of show was pure fluff. Kenshin's constant talk-no-jitsu & Kaoru being annoying got old fast.	Gallop, Studio Deen

57	Chrno Crusade Add - More	7	TV	24	Fall 2003	Nun w/ guns and demon friend fight against the devil. Very Christian inspired anime, enjoyed the Catholic themes & imagery. Ending rather sad & depressing. Plot a bit convoluted at times, and it's somewhat tarnished by out-of-place humor and fanservice.	Gonzo

58	Kidou Senshi Gundam: Dai 08 MS Shoutai Add - More	7	OVA	12	Winter 1996	Classic Feds vs Zeon storyline but now on earth w/ a Romeo & Juliet undertone. Great animation & music for the 90s, endearing caste of characters. The ecchi humor annoyed me though, & while episodes 10 & 11 were awesome 5 & 12 were a huge waste of time.	Sunrise

59	Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku Add - More	7	TV	13	Fall 1999	Lighthearted first episode lulls you into false security before being isekaied into one of the most brutal & depressing anime worlds. The irrationally optimistic protagonist got on my nerves, I have mixed feelings about the ending. Very sad & tragic.	AIC

60	RahXephon Add - More	7	TV	26	Winter 2002	Basically Evangelion w/ similar mechs, wacky symbolism, & trippy feel but with more women (and romance) but less action. A bit overly cryptic & confusing at times, wasn’t a big fan of the animation style, but I enjoyed the character drama, was alright.	Bones

61	Cardcaptor Sakura Add - More	7	TV	70	Spring 1998	Famous series in Mahou Shoujo genre, lots of cutesy carefree fun. Animation & music in the show have aged fantastically well, good cast of characters. That said the plot was bit repetitive, characters constantly simping over each other got annoying fast.	Madhouse

62	Hoshi no Koe Add - More	7	OVA	1	Winter 2002	Great background art, although much of the actual animation is rather unpolished. Given this is a passion project by Shinkai the flaws are forgivable, can see the inspiration for his future works. Short but still has an emotional & relevant message.	CoMix Wave Films

63	Argento Soma Add - More	7	TV	25	Fall 2000	Frankenstein + Iron Giant w/ strong overtones of Evangelion. A bit bizarre at times, and some of the characters were annoying, but while it’s slow paced it’s rewarding if you can make it to the end, has a surprisingly heartfelt conclusion.	Sunrise

64	Mirai Shounen Conan Add - More	7	TV	26	Spring 1978	Miyazaki's first anime, can see inspiration for later works. Animation & story ahead of its time, although the anti-war & environmentalist messages are bit too blatant. The show is often too lightheaded to properly address its themes. Still pretty good.	Nippon Animation

65	Boogiepop wa Warawanai Add - More	7	TV	12	Winter 2000	Creepy & cerebral avant-garde horror/mystery. Does a good job building suspense, very similar to SEL in many respects. The non-linear progression & often unreliable narrators can make it a confusing watch. Not great but an interesting viewing experience.	Madhouse

66	Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho Add - More	7	TV	112	Fall 1992	The great caste of characters, touching first episode, tournament arcs, and finale, cement this as a classic. That said it has an obscene amount of asspulls & deus-ex-machina moments, story is rather repetitive; just fight after fight. Still enjoyable.	Pierrot

67	Kurenai no Buta Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 1992	Ace pilot who's cursed to be a pig flies around in alt-history Italy. Great detailed animation for 90s, Miyazaki shows off his love for planes yet again, but not a lot story wise happens, I found the ending slightly unsatisfying. Still plenty of fun.	Studio Ghibli

68	Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 1986	First anime film I saw, back in 2004. Recently re-watched it. Art really detailed for the 80s. The pirates and their antics annoyed me, & ending isn't my favorite. Still the chemistry of the main duo make up for it. Ghibli's first film, worth seeing.	Studio Ghibli

69	Tonari no Totoro Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 1988	Animation & music have aged fantastically considering this was made in the 80s. Comfy cute story, little too slow paced, I get she's 4 but Mei was still very annoying. Probably would've enjoyed it more if I'd seen it when I was a kid, or if I had kids.	Studio Ghibli

70	Venus Senki Add - More	7	Movie	1	Winter 1989	Great animation with plenty of action and nice sakuga moments. The characters were mostly irresponsible & annoying though, especially Hiro & Susan. Music a bit corny. Still it has that 80s anime vibe I love, it was a fun watch.	Triangle Staff

71	Hotaru no Haka Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 1988	Infamously sad film of 2 siblings in the aftermath of WW II. Isao Takahata's magnum opus, makes great use of imagery & sound to highlight themes of war & youth, however I found the pacing awkward, and Seita & his aunt were stubborn & utterly unlikable.	Studio Ghibli

72	Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran Add - More	7	TV	13	Winter 2000	Fun episodic series of badass but alcoholic female samurai & klutz Chinese martial artists going around bringing justice & wreaking havoc. Fight scenes were well done, comedy bit hit-or-miss, wavered a bit in finale episodes but still enjoyable.	Madhouse

73	Yawara! Add - More	7	TV	124	Fall 1989	Titular girl dominates judo despite not caring for it. The judo matches were nice, but the character drama & romance was mishandled. Gramps & Kazamatsuri were awful characters. Still overall was good, not Urasawa's most impressive work to be sure.	Madhouse

74	Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Add - More	7	OVA	2	Spring 1998	Peacefully chilling in post-apocalyptic world. Just relaxing vibes, nothing really happens but I liked the music and animation. Lot left unexplained, like why does Alpha carry a gun or drink coffee all the time despite she's a robot.	Ajia-do

75	Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Herlock Add - More	7	TV	42	Spring 1978	Influential early anime, kickstarted the Leijiverse. Captain Harlock fights against fem fatale aliens while corrupt politicians don't do shit. Has good character development & moments, but is also very dated, plot overly repetitive & somewhat nonsenscial.	Toei Animation

76	Kumo no You ni Kaze no You ni Add - More	7	TV Special	1	Winter 1990	Nice art & music for 90s, protagonist was annoying. Too much exposition and downer ending was abrupt. Despite it being a goofy comedy for most of runtime, it’s actually a cleverly disguised tragedy with something to say how power will corrupt people.	Pierrot

77	Sennen Joyuu Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2002	Great animation & music, but as typical of Satoshi Kon the plot is rather convoluted & confusing. It does come together in the end, but while still incredibly well made, it's probably my least favorite of his films. It did make me cry in the end though.	Madhouse

78	Taiyou no Ouji: Horus no Daibouken Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 1968	One of Takahata & Miyazaki's first films, the quality really shows. Excellent fluid animation for the 60s, although you can tell they ran out of budget with all the still frames. Story bit simple, but an important milestone film in anime history	Toei Animation

79	On Your Mark Add - More	7	Music	1	Spring 1995	Touching short about two futuristic cops freeing winged girl first from a cult and then from research laboratory. Some of the best & fluid animation of the 90s, the music is really cheesy & repetitive though.	Studio Ghibli

80	Lupin III: Cagliostro no Shiro Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 1979	Famous francise gets the Miyazaki treatment. Animation & music are excellent considering when it came out. Film is a lot of fun, but it's too over-the-top and goofy to really take seriously, too much suspension of disbelief.	Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Telecom Animation Film

81	Maison Ikkoku Add - More	7	TV	96	Spring 1986	Loser college student falls for young widower landlord. The supporting cast is incredibly dislikable (especially Yotsuya) it’s a slow burn, gradually gets better. Nicely detailed art for mid-80s, OPs were nice. Frustrating at times, ending was worth it.	Studio Deen

82	Memories Add - More	7	Movie	3	Fall 1995	Anthology of 3 separate stories; "Magnetic Rose" was gripping & rather inventive, "Stink Bomb" was well-animated but the story was dumb, "Cannon Fodder" was rather mediocre.	Madhouse, Studio 4°C

83	Area 88 Add - More	7	OVA	3	Winter 1985	Pilot is betrayed by friend & forced to fight in civil war. Good art & story, but the music was corny, dated portrayal of black people. The warplane dogfights were well done, didn't like the ending but it did touch upon the psychological aspects of war.	Pierrot

84	Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Add - More	7	TV	25	Fall 2006	Dude gets mind control abilities & attempts to overthrow the world order. It’s a famous anime, feel really conflicted about it, some parts are brilliant other are absolutely stupid. The final few episodes were tragic & awesome though, raising it to 7.	Sunrise

85	Byousoku 5 Centimeter Add - More	7	Movie	3	Winter 2007	Amazing background art, realistic romance story. First third I'd give 10/10, second a 7/10, last one was disappointing, a 4/10. That averages out to 7/10 which I think is fair.	CoMix Wave Films

86	Lucky☆Star Add - More	7	TV	24	Spring 2007	Famous anime parodying otaku culture, the op dance is legendary & for the most part the show is pretty hilarious, although the jokes can be hit-or-miss depending if you’ve seen what their poking fun at. Konata was annoying & Lucky Channel was awful.	Kyoto Animation

87	Roujin Z Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 1991	Ppl comes up w/ supercomputer to take care of the elderly & it all goes wrong. Haruko was a great protagonist, the film does address relevant themes of geriatric care & transhumanism, just undercut by its wackiness. Final scene was stupid & unnecessary.	APPP

88	Seto no Hanayome Add - More	7	TV	26	Spring 2007	Absolutely BONKERS show about boy getting stuck w/ a mermaid & her yakuza family. Full of parody & over-the-top comedy, animation was a bit ugly & inconsistent, hit-or-miss at times, but I don't think any other anime has made me laugh as hard as this one.	Gonzo, AIC

89	Clannad Add - More	7	TV	23	Fall 2007	Well known high school anime, slice-of-life, some great characters arcs and emotional moments. The animation & dialogue aren't the best though by KyoAni's standards, melodrama got old and while occasionally funny the comedy was mostly cringy.	Kyoto Animation

90	Slow Step Add - More	7	OVA	5	Spring 1991	Softball/boxing drama. The art is kinda bad, but the plot progresses in a fun & interesting way and the music was nice. The ending was incredibly disappointing though. Feel conflicted, skip the last few scenes and it's a decent anime.	Pastel

91	ef: A Tale of Memories. Add - More	7	TV	12	Fall 2007	Following 6 youths & their interconnected romances. Has Shaft's signature inventive & surreal style, animation was nice, bit too slow and melodramatic at times for me. Lot like Clannad, maybe even better, the last episode was really beautiful.	Shaft

92	The Sky Crawlers Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2008	Has this creepy sense of detachment. Can’t make up my mind on the 3D animation. Some good philosophical themes, and I liked the attention to the aircraft detail. Ending was weird and didn’t seem to fit with the ideas of mortality and existentialism.	Production I.G

93	Dragon's Heaven Add - More	7	OVA	1	Winter 1988	Robots battle in future Brazil. First 5 minuets were pointless, & the story was pretty simple, but the art is absolutely gorgeous, the music & characters added to the fun. The girl and robot somehow had great chemistry, left me feeling warm & fuzzy.	AIC, Artmic

94	Sasurai no Taiyou Add - More	7	TV	26	Spring 1971	One of the first music-themed anime, the animation is dated & some scenes haven't aged well. Many characters were unlikable (esp Miki & Eogawa), but I really liked Nozomi's character development & determination, the songs were nice, the finale was great.	Mushi Production

95	Chocchan Monogatari Add - More	7	Movie	1	Winter 1996	Woman marries violinist and their struggle of raising & supporting family in the context of World War II. Runtime bit short so plot was somewhat rushed at times, kids could be annoying, but still has a heartfelt message, well done. A hidden gem.	Triangle Staff

96	Redline Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2009	Fast & furious/pod racing meets anime, with an overdose of insanity. The fanservice was excessive, and it plays by the rule-of-cool too much that when it tries to be sentimental at the end it falls flat. Still highly enjoyable for what it was.	Madhouse

97	So Ra No Wo To Add - More	7	TV	12	Winter 2010	Moe mixed w/ military. Has a nice theme of how music can bring people together despite the war that divides them, it’s just a shame it took until the last 3 episodes to deliver. Could’ve done more with it’s premise but was still nice for what it was	A-1 Pictures

98	So Ra No Wo To Specials Add - More	7	Special	2	Spring 2010	Unneeded but nice addition to the series, more moe slice-of-life. In fact I liked the optimistic and hopeful tone the special episode ended the series on than the more abrupt ending to the main show had.	A-1 Pictures

99	Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2011	Outcaste ace pilot transporting princess across enemy lines. Airplane battles were nice, 2D & 3D intwined okay for the most part. The film doesn't fully do its themes (racism & war) justice. Ending a bit of a disappointing downer but somewhat appropriate.	Madhouse

100	Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 2011	Shinkai's artwork is fantastic, and the story kept me on my toes the whole time. Too much of this feels like a copy of Ghibli though, & the plot makes less sense the more you think about it.	CoMix Wave Films

101	Coquelicot-zaka kara Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2011	Great art, even for a Ghibli film, nice jazz music. Story was meh, didn't really care that much about the club house. Not profound but a nice and comfortable feel-good movie.	Studio Ghibli

102	Tibet Inu Monogatari Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 2011	Classic boy & dog tale, I really liked the setting of historic Tibet, thought the cultural representation was well done. Eng dub was fine. Lobsided pacing, main plot doesn’t kick off until the last 30 minutes, fantasy shoehorned in. Good for kids film.	Madhouse

103	Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Add - More	7	TV	25	Fall 2012	Loosely based on 1, 001 Arabian nights. Interesting characters & story, profound themes on slavery, economics, hate, and war, but the fanservice was a bit too over the top and Aladdin’s perverseness got annoying fast.	A-1 Pictures

104	Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2016	Slice-of-life about woman living through WWII era Japan. Despite its massive runtime I felt the characters could’ve been fleshed out more, wasn’t big of the childish artstyle. Still the film had its emotional moments, themes of war, destruction, hope.	MAPPA

105	Hataraku Maou-sama! Add - More	7	TV	13	Spring 2013	Satan & entourage get trapped on earth & working at McDonalds. Characters bit formulaic, was uncomfortable how much Chiho was sexualized. Still as someone who spent far too much time working in retail I liked to story, the op is fantastic.	White Fox

106	Kaze Tachinu Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2013	Miyazaki puts his love for planes & political views front & center w/ this historical biopic. Gorgeous animation & sound on par w/ Ghibli's best, but man did the story drag at times, bit tonally inconsistent as well.	Studio Ghibli

107	Kaguya-hime no Monogatari Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2013	Based on a Japanese folktale. The hand painted art style is amazing, I like the setting of medieval Japan. The pacing is slow though, and the runtime a bit excessive. Still good but not the masterpiece people make it out to be.	Studio Ghibli

108	Sarusuberi: Miss Hokusai Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 2015	Great art style, captures the feeling of historical Japan. Random supernatural stuff & inconsistent plot cheapened it for me.	Production I.G

109	Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Add - More	7	TV	25	Spring 2016	Loser isekaied to fantasy land & starts @ specific point when he dies. Has some cool twists & turns, liked the artstyle although ugly CGI was apparent in some scenes. Rem, Crusch, & Emilia were cool, Subaru had good development but too often very cringy.	White Fox

110	Onihei Add - More	7	TV	13	Winter 2017	Episodic series of samurai detectives catching thieves in 17th-century Japan. It’s by an underground studio, so even though the art style itself is nice, the animation itself if pretty meh. It’s okay, episodes 11 & 12 were the best overall.	Studio M2

111	Mary to Majo no Hana Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2017	A blatant rip-off of Ghibili, especially Kiki's Delivery Service. It took over an hour for the film to get interesting, but when it did it was fairly entertaining. Wish they did a bit more w/ the world building, overall a decently fun experience.	Studio Ponoc

112	Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai Add - More	7	TV	13	Fall 2018	Odd stuff happens at school because of student's mental state. Characters had lots of personality, sometimes too much. Very similar to Bakemonogatari. Enjoyed it less as it went, but Sakuta & Mai were a nice couple, had a good message on mental health.	CloverWorks

113	Cider no You ni Kotoba ga Wakiagaru Add - More	7	Movie	1	Summer 2021	Unique art style and Ushio's soundtrack doesn't disappoint. The story itself though is predictable and it didn't feel as if the characters earned the dramatic ending.	Signal.MD, Sublimation

114	Vampire in the Garden Add - More	7	ONA	5	Spring 2022	Good themes, not only on war & elitism but also dismantling the very ideas of idealism and utopia. Runtime was too limited to fully deliver on all these themes, but it hit the right emotional notes and I would love to see an expanded version of this.	Wit Studio

115	Sora no Aosa wo Shiru Hito yo Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2019	Gave me strong “Anohana” & “Anthem of the heart” vibes, though I felt much of the plot points, pacing, & emotional moments were bit botched. Bummed that there’s no actual conclusion. Still the characters were endearing, good animation & music.	CloverWorks

116	Id:Invaded Add - More	7	TV	13	Winter 2020	Detectives dive into criminal’s consciousness to solve crimes. Wasn’t a big fan of the art style & music, if you’re paying attention the identity of the big bad is obvious by ep 5. Still the show had plenty of exciting twists & turns would recommend	NAZ

117	Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu Add - More	7	ONA	1	Spring 2020	Interesting premise, good themes, although the protagonist is rather unlikable. Story dragged on at times, and unless you’re into cats it can be somewhat cringy. That said it hit the sentimental beats and had a somewhat satisfying conclusion.	Studio Colorido

118	Kamiarizuki no Kodomo Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2021	Girl overcoming the loss of her mom by running supernatural race. The music & animation was nice, though I wasn’t crazy about the character designs or personalities, as well as overabundance of exposition. Still it had a heartfelt message, it’s good.	LIDENFILMS

119	Yeon-ae Halujeon Add - More	7	ONA	10	Winter 2018	It’s basically every romance trope in the book and the characters are paper thin aside from being complete simps for each other, but the simplistic animation has a charm to it and it’s wholesome and cute. Only 20 minutes, worth checking out.	LICO, Red Dog Culture House

120	Heike Monogatari Add - More	7	TV	11	Winter 2022	Classic Japanese tale of the Taira clan brought to life by Yamada’s directing and Ushio’s soundtrack. As a history nerd I really wanted to like it, and for the most part I did, but the unexplained time progression & confusing plot really drag it down.	Science SARU

121	Suzume no Tojimari Add - More	7	Movie	1	Fall 2022	Art was great as usual for Shinkai, and I liked the way the plot progressed across Japan & the supernatural themes. Still, while the characters were good they didn’t totally connect, and the story feels like every other Shinkai film at this point.	CoMix Wave Films

122	Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon Add - More	7	TV	12	Summer 2023	Girl is ostracized from family for having no magic abilities, arranged marriage to military dude. The fantasy elements of the story were poorly explained, but Miyo's development was nice to watch, good music & animation.	Kinema Citrus

123	COLORs Add - More	7	ONA	1	Winter 2023	Short of girl noticing pink-hair female classmate, who is really a cross-dressing boy, who is also a secret agent or something(?) Directed by Tetsurou Arai & music by Hiroyuki Sawano, confused what story is supposed to be but gorgeous animation & music.	Wit Studio

124	Tentai Kansoku Add - More	7	ONA	1	Winter 2023	Short video by Loundraw, his artstyle is pretty distinctive, it did get better as the video went on. The whole time-travel twist at the end I didn't think was necessary, but still good for what it was.	Flat Studio

125	Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto Add - More	7	TV	12	Summer 2023	Black comedy about abusive workplace followed by zombie apocalypse that's actually quite a clever commentary on finding meaning in life. Tarnished a bit by constant fanservice & few cringy jokes, nice colorful animation, music was meh.	BUG FILMS

126	Suki demo Kirai na Amanojaku Add - More	7	Movie	1	Spring 2024	Cute little film about supernatural adventure, theme of communicating your feelings w/ loved ones & not keeping it bottled up. Very nice animation & production values. Story had some obvious flaws & plot holes though, have mixed feelings about Tsumugi.	Studio Colorido

127	Page of Lambda Add - More	7	PV	1	Spring 2024	Nice animation and music, a promo for a fantasy story of sorts. Looks intriguing, hope something comes out of it.

128	Shinseiki Evangelion Movie: Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 1997	Too weird for my normie brain, didn’t enjoy it, far better production than the original (doesn’t take much) it’s confusing, psychological, philosophical, and I don’t really know what to make of this other than it is a fitting end to Evangelion.	Gainax, Production I.G

129	Chobits Add - More	6	TV	26	Spring 2002	Dude finds robot girl in trash, slowly she learns to feel emotions. Many wholesome & cute moments, but lots of contrived ones too. Somewhat tarnished by ecchi humor & rushed final 2 episodes. Still good themes on A.I., relationships, humanity.	Madhouse

130	Shuffle! Add - More	6	TV	24	Summer 2005	Benchmark of 2000s harem anime, starts as cutesy HS romance before taking a surreal turn at episode 12, gets real dark. Many flaws in dialogue & storytelling, mc is infuriatingly frustrating, but at least the best girl gets chosen, has a happy ending.	asread.

131	Kidou Senshi Gundam Add - More	6	TV	43	Spring 1979	Classic early mech show. The plot gets a little nonsensical and the goofy music doesn’t mesh well with the violence, but the anime does a good job exposing the horror of war. Char is one of the smartest and more stylish anime villains.	Sunrise

132	Last Exile Add - More	6	TV	26	Spring 2003	Great world building & soundtrack, but unfortunately a lot of unrealized potential as well. So many aspects left unexplained, inconsistent characters writing, & as typical of Gonzo overuse of CGI. Had its good moments, but also too many unsatisfying ones	Gonzo

133	Video Girl Ai Add - More	6	OVA	6	Winter 1992	Nice art & music, very emblematic of the 90s. an endearing romcom w/ good development, tarnished just a bit by the few ecchi scenes & how dense some of the characters were. Evangelionesque finale came out of nowhere, bit weird. Decent ending though.	Production I.G

134	Lodoss-tou Senki Add - More	6	OVA	13	Spring 1990	DnD/Tolkien inspired story, liked the character designs & music, animation started okay but got worse each episode. The non-chronological episode order & haphazard plot tarnished it a bit, Deedlit could be annoying but was by far best girl, Parn was lame.	Madhouse

135	Ranma ½ Add - More	6	TV	161	Spring 1989	Classic gender bending comedy, it's pretty ridiculously hilarious. It does wear out it's welcome, by midpoint you've already seen the best parts. The absence of any sympathetic characters is something else, Happosai is one of the worst of all time.	Studio Deen

136	FLCL Add - More	6	OVA	6	Spring 2000	Bored middle school boy, his clingy brother's ex-girlfriend, & manipulative pink-hair alien combine for the wackiest shit imaginable. Buried somewhere there's a coming-of-age story, lots of symbolism. Okay, but I found the characters hideously unlikable.	Gainax, Production I.G

137	Di Gi Charat Add - More	6	TV	16	Fall 1999	Alien girls wanting to be idols go to Akibara only to be stuck working at a gaming store, hilarity ensues. Animation kind of bad & simplistic, same for characters, but the music is catchy and the comedy is endearing in a special dumb sort of way.	Madhouse

138	A Kite Add - More	6	OVA	2	Winter 1998	For the record I saw the censored version, although this infamously violent anime is still very difficult to watch. Animation & sound impressive for when it was made. Definitely wouldn’t recommend, but at least I still somewhat respect its ambition.	Arms

139	Howl no Ugoku Shiro Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 2004	Nice animation & music, one of Ghibli’s more imaginative works but also one of its most unfocused. The tone’s real inconsistent; film can’t make up its mind if it’s a anti-war film, romance, or adventure. Didn’t care for Sophie, young or old.	Studio Ghibli

140	Shoujo Kakumei Utena Add - More	6	TV	39	Spring 1997	Man this is weird. Odd artstyle, repetitive episodic format and re-used animation sequences weighed it down, but it did have funny & philosophical moments. Can see why it’s so popular with SJWs with all the gender non-conformity & LGBT inuendo.	J.C.Staff

141	Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters Add - More	6	TV	224	Spring 2000	The first show (anime or not) I saw growing up & I have really fond memories, still have the cards. Re-watched some episodes on Netflix & it hasn’t aged well especially the art (that hair) and dumb plot twists. If I saw it now I’d probably hate it.	Gallop

142	Metropolis Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2001	Great animation for when it was made though the CGI looked a bit dated. Good themes against discrimination, robots vs humans, and overuse of technology, but character development mishandled, plot haphazard, hated the 1920s vibe. Flawed but has its charm.	Madhouse

143	Pokemon Add - More	6	TV	276	Spring 1997	Classic kids show, based on popular game, though the lack of source material is evident in the nonsensical worldbuilding & writing. While story was silly & Ash could often be unbearable the pun-filled dub was golden, the Johto league arc was the best.	OLM

144	Pokemon Movie 01: Mewtwo no Gyakushuu Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 1998	Mewtoo is grown & escapes from laboratory a la Elfen Lied or Rocket's backstory from Guardians of the Galaxy. Surprisingly a lot darker than the show, nice animation, but boy does it drag at times (20 minutes on intro alone), ending makes little sense.	OLM

145	Steamboy Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 2004	Alt-history Great Britain grapples w/ the new technology of highpower steam. Absolutely gorgeous animation, important theme about the misuse of science for war, but man the plot is illogical at times, the characters were mostly unlikable (esp Scarlett).	Sunrise

146	Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora Add - More	6	TV	6	Winter 2006	Boy meets terminally ill girl in hospital. Has it's sentimental moments, but far too much unneeded comedy. Dr. Natsume is one of the biggest assholes in anime. Nice op & ed. Still good but could have been so much better. Final scene was beautiful.	Group TAC

147	Vampire Hunter D Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 1985	Half vampire/human hunter saves farm girl from being forced to marry evil vampire count; the story is a little nonsensical with plenty of dumb plot twist. For a horror movie it’s more unintentionally funny than scary, but is still pretty entertaining.	Ashi Productions, Studio Live

148	Ergo Proxy Add - More	6	TV	23	Winter 2006	Deals w/ interesting philosophical concepts of gnosticism & relativism, first 3 episodes were great, but the show can’t make up its mind if it’s a mystery, adventure, SoL, or drama. Overly cryptic & pretentious at times, Pino was also really annoying.	Manglobe

149	Ouran Koukou Host Club Add - More	6	TV	26	Spring 2006	Popular cross-dressing & reverse harem anime. Some good character development & hilarious moments, but the show is so over-the-top & silly that it all felt bit too inconsequential for me, especially when it tried to be serious in the last 2 episodes.	Bones

150	Dragon Half Add - More	6	OVA	2	Winter 1993	Very nonsensical fantasy comedy of half-dragon girl Mink obsessed w/ pop star & dragon slaying Dick Saucer. Animation looks cheap & unfortunately cancelled after only 2 episodes, it is still rather hilarious and got plenty of laughs out of me.	Production I.G

151	Appleseed Add - More	6	OVA	1	Spring 1988	Very stereotypical 80s OVA with cheesy music & cyberpunk setting. Dealt with some philosophical themes of utopia & transhumanism, animation okay for the time. Plot had a few flaws, dialogue was pretty stupid. Entertaining for what it was.	Gainax

152	Pokemon Movie 02: Maboroshi no Pokemon Lugia Bakutan Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 1999	Remember seeing this film as a kid, probably one of the better Pokémon flicks, a cool epic adventure, good to see Ash & others work together. Good animation, although the CGI didn't age well. At least Team Rocket weren't completely useless this time lol.	OLM

153	1 Pound no Fukuin Add - More	6	OVA	1	Fall 1988	Glutenous boxer gets help from Catholic nun to get ready for his next fight. The animation has a cheap feel to it, and there a lot of dumb tropes, but it has its wholesome & funny moments. The live-action is okay too.	Gallop

154	Cyber City Oedo 808 Add - More	6	OVA	3	Spring 1990	Quintessential of 90s anime, dark cyberpunk dystopia. Animation & sound are excellent for the time, although the story gets a bit ridiculous, characters mostly amoral jerks. Not great, but if you’re a fan of cyberpunk it’s a must watch.	Madhouse

155	Yousei Hime Ren Add - More	6	OVA	2	Fall 1995	Truly bizarre even for 90s OVA literally makes no sense, just one random scene after another w/ the most rapid-fire dialogue you’ll ever hear. Bad animation, plot is nonsensical to say the least, but it’s so hilariously wacky & absurd is almost genius	Dangun Pictures

156	Nagasarete Airantou Add - More	6	TV	26	Spring 2007	Dumb harem about runaway boy getting stranded on island full of only girls. The first two episodes were just ecchi stupidity, but after a while I warmed up to it & the wacky humor, very funny, plenty of wholesome and kawaii moments as well.	feel.

157	Argento Soma: Hitori to Hitori Add - More	6	Special	1	Winter 2002	Extra episode focusing on Sue being stuck in Antarctica w/ an alien as well as her backstory. It’s not essential for viewing, and it does get a bit cheesy, but it’s a nice to see one of the side characters get some in-depth development.	Sunrise

158	Grappler Baki Add - More	6	OVA	1	Summer 1994	Pretty ridiculous short of Baki fighting in a karate tournament. Animation looks dated, story nonsensical, all a bit absurd with First of the North Star vibes, but still plenty of fun. The over-the-top dub is just the cherry on top.	Knack Productions

159	Yawara!: Zutto Kimi no Koto ga... Add - More	6	TV Special	1	Summer 1996	Grand finale at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Animation & sound was very substandard, the characters used to be unlikeable straight up unbearable here. Still a decent wrap up of the character arcs, the matches Yawara had w/ Marceau and Jody were amazing.	Madhouse

160	Nozomi Witches Add - More	6	OVA	3	Summer 1992		Group TAC

161	True Tears Add - More	6	TV	13	Winter 2008	Great animation & music, story was okay, but the characters almost ruined it for me. Shinichirou was frustrating, Hiromi was bland, Jun is a incestual pedophile, Aiko didn't deserve a bf, despite being slightly autistic Noe was the best of the bunch.	P.A. Works

162	Robot Carnival Add - More	6	OVA	1	Summer 1987	Anthology film of 9 different shorts about robots interacting w/ humans. The animation is spectacular for the time, but a lot of it is too cryptic & avant-garde for my liking. Not great but an interesting viewing experience.	APPP

163	Ayane-chan High Kick! Add - More	6	OVA	2	Winter 1997	Girl wants to be a professional wrestler but is drafted instead to be a kickboxer due to her talented kicks. Catchy music, nice mix of action & comedy. Characters rather generic, ends abruptly, but I really enjoyed it, would love to see expanded version.	Rikuentai

164	Chirin no Suzu Add - More	6	Movie	1	Winter 1978	Don’t let the cutesy animation and Disneyesque ascetic fool you, this is a pretty dark & depressing movie about the loss of innocence and the damage hatred can inflict. It’s dated, and some parts drag on, overall though it's alright.	Sunrise

165	Miyuki Add - More	6	TV	37	Spring 1983	Romcom about boy who has unbelievably pure girlfriend named Miyuki & an unnecessarily flirtatious adopted sister also named Miyuki. It's ok for 80s anime, has cute & funny moments, but there're some uncomfortable scenes with all the perverted adults.	Kitty Film Mitaka Studio

166	Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 2006	Girl gets ability to time travel and unintentionally messes up everything. Not a fan of Hosoda's art style, and the big twist was really stupid. Did have it's sentimental moments though, decent film.	Madhouse

167	Spirit of Wonder: China-san no Yuuutsu Add - More	6	OVA	1	Spring 1992	Odd sci-fi flick of Chinese innkeeper in England whose acquaintances are experimenting with technology to teleport to the moon. Not sure about the art style, but the animation & music was well done, runtime bit short but managed to tell compelling story.	Ajia-do

168	Terra e... Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 1980	Espers called Mu & regular humans struggle for who can return to earth in dystopian post-apocalyptic future. Animation decent for the time, good themes, but way too fast paced, emotional moments didn't really stick. Despite being unpolished a decent watch	Toei Animation

169	Code-E Add - More	6	TV	12	Summer 2007	Girl emits electrical energy when she gets emotional. Chinami was cute w/ her little mishaps although it did get annoying after awhile, a lot of the characters were unbelievably dense. Nice op & ed, show ended right when story was getting interesting.	Studio Deen

170	Igano Kabamaru Add - More	6	TV	24	Fall 1983	Wacky comedy of food-obsessed ill-mannered boy trained as a ninja going to school. Pretty funny but also had some stupid plot twists. Mai was cute though. For some reason this anime is popular in Greece. Also has Hitler playing baseball for some reason.	Group TAC

171	Fire Tripper Add - More	6	OVA	1	Fall 1985	Early time travel mystery by Rumiko Takahashi. The art is dated and not great, and the first half was really slow, nonetheless you can see the influence in Takahashi’s later works and the whole time travel aspect/reveal was cleverly done.	Pierrot

172	Toki no Tabibito: Time Stranger Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 1986	Dude escaping from the future unwittingly drags a bund of modern teenagers into Samurai era, hilarity ensues. Nice animation for mid-80s, some cool visual tricks, nice themes of you shouldn't alter the past, although the characters often acted stupid.	Madhouse

173	Toaru Majutsu no Index Add - More	6	TV	24	Fall 2008	Unlucky dude fights bunch of jerks with his magic-negating right hand. A lot of scientific, magical and religious terminology used, but it’s really just your average action shonen with all the obligatory tropes. The Ops & Eds were very nice.	J.C.Staff

174	100-man-nen Chikyuu no Tabi: Bander Book Add - More	6	TV Special	1	Summer 1978	Earthling raised on shapeshifters planet, hilarity ensues. Animation & sound have aged well considering how old it is, good mix of comedy & action. The story is batshit insane though, full of weird crap & nudity. Many of Tezuka's characters make a cameo.	Tezuka Productions

175	Summer Wars Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 2009	Global cyber-attack while visiting girlfriend's grandmother's birthday. Nice themes of technology & family, but the film often feels too disjointed, didn't like most of the characters. Not a fan of Hosoda's writing or art but it's one of his better films.	Madhouse

176	Angel Beats! Add - More	6	TV	13	Spring 2010	Kids in afterlife do shenanigans together while they come to terms w/ their past lives & death. Lots of emotional moments, good themes, the music was great, just tarnished by the rushed story, out-of-place humor, and Maeda Jun's haphazard writing.	P.A. Works

177	Hanamaru Youchien Add - More	6	TV	12	Winter 2010	Girl in kindergarten has a crush on her teacher, yes it is as stupid as it sounds. The character designs and art was nice, but as with most Gainax anime the last episode was a letdown. EDs were good. Yeah cute and kawaii, but aside that not much else.	Gainax

178	Kuroi Kikori to Shiroi Kikori Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 1956	One of the earliest anime films, story about one man who is cruel to nature and another who is kind. It’s a silent film and plot’s simplistic, but it has a charming feel about it. Decent for what it is.

179	Kimi no Iru Machi: Tasogare Kousaten Add - More	6	OVA	2	Winter 2012	Boy on school trip in Tokyo tries to meetup w/ his childhood sweetheart. Art was simpler than the main series but better done in my opinion. Grouping scene in the 1st episode and bathhouse in the 2nd were unneeded, but the sentimental moments still hit.	Tatsunoko Production

180	Shinsekai yori Add - More	6	TV	25	Fall 2012	Has a dark unsettling sense of unease that never lets up. Deals with a lot of moral issues. Wasn't a fan of the animation style, and especially in the 3rd arc there were a lot of plot holes and contrivances.	A-1 Pictures

181	Fuse: Teppou Musume no Torimonochou Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 2012	Alt-history of sister & brother hunting wolf/humans in Edo. I really liked the unique animation & color style, but the plot had way too many holes, inconsistencies, and the character drama was very forced. Intriguing but flawed, had good end message.	TMS Entertainment

182	Chouyaku Hyakuninisshu: Uta Koi. Add - More	6	TV	13	Summer 2012	An examination of the individuals of the Heian period & their romantic relationships through the lens of the poetry they wrote. Colorful unique animation, I found the characters mostly petty & annoying though. Still a interesting concept for an anime.	TYO Animations

183	Nagi no Asu kara Add - More	6	TV	26	Fall 2013	Beautiful animation, the 2 ops and eps were great, and the series undergoes a time-skip & tone change halfway through I thought was handled relatively well. However the protagonist is really annoying, too much romance melodrama, unsatisfying finale.	P.A. Works

184	Kotonoha no Niwa Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2013	The most impressive & gorgeous animation of all of Shinkai's films, and that's saying something. Couldn't care less of the characters though, the twist was bit dumb and a lot of the film felt uncomfortably like someone's foot fetish.	CoMix Wave Films

185	Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo Add - More	6	TV	12	Spring 2015	Dude gains supernatural abilities (including body-switching) by kissing different girls. Has rather intricate story for a highschool harem, bit rushed & fanservicey at places but overall I enjoyed it. Music somewhat generic but still hit me in da feels.	LIDENFILMS

186	Charlotte Add - More	6	TV	13	Summer 2015	Sci-fi drama of kids with super powers working together. Nice animation & music. Story had potential, but there's an event halfway through that completely changes the tone and after that the plot twists come thick & fast. Madea Jun at his best & worst.	P.A. Works

187	Hibike! Euphonium: Kakedasu Monaka Add - More	6	Special	1	Fall 2015	Extra episode to season 1 following the behind-the-scenes activities by the students who didn't make the final cut for the band, especially Hazuki. Cute episode but doesn't really add anything to the story.	Kyoto Animation

188	Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari Add - More	6	Movie	1	Winter 2017	Odd film about dreams, the 2020 Olympics & self-driving cars. Good animation & music, confusing story, just one random scene after another, the ending even had the characters bewildered. Saw it w/ family and they seemed to like it.	Signal.MD

189	Honobono Log Add - More	6	TV	10	Spring 2016	2 minute episodes about couples' everyday lives. Rather low production value, but it's still a comfy & cute feel-good watch.	Fanworks

190	Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau Add - More	6	TV	12	Fall 2017	Unique & interesting worldbuilding, surprisingly brutal for a shoujo. That said a lot of the emotional moments were ruined by melodrama, and some terrible writing and directing. Feel conflicted about this anime, 6 is way too high but it feels right.	J.C.Staff

191	Hakubo Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2019	The background art and sound was good, but the characters were paper thin and the plot and pacing was awkward. Way too much exposition, and the film never really addresses the theme of the earthquake. Despite all of that I still somewhat enjoyed it.	Twilight Studio

192	Promare Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2019	Fun silly film, although too often felt like a copy of previous works especially Gurren Lagann. The goofy dialogue & over-the-top animation mean the movie's noble message against discrimination never really sticks. Nice production, decently enjoyable.	Trigger

193	Kimitachi wa Dou Ikiru ka Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 2023	Great art & music, probably Miyazaki's last film. The theme of coming to terms w/ loss was important, but too often felt like a copy of previous Ghibli films, Mahito was a rather bland protagonist. Too esoteric for its own good.	Studio Ghibli

194	Happy Sugar Life Add - More	6	TV	12	Summer 2018	Disturbing tale of kidnapping, murder, & deeply disturbed characters pursuing their version of "love". Meh animation, it does deal with themes of psychopathy, cycle of abuse, Stockholm syndrome etc. Disliked the finale, a depressing but interesting watch	Ezόla

195	Vinland Saga Add - More	6	TV	24	Summer 2019	Wanted to like it, loved the historical elements, great character development, 1st OP one of the best. Animation overall good but few ugly cgi scenes. Plot is inconsistent, awful portrayal of morality & Christianity, Askeladd is a murdering sociopath.	Wit Studio

196	Kimetsu no Yaiba Add - More	6	TV	26	Spring 2019	Amazing animation, the story itself is a bit too conventional to the shonen tropes, hopefully a sign of better things to come. Tanjiro is a decent character, but Zenitsu and Inosuke were unbearably annoying.	ufotable

197	5-toubun no Hanayome Add - More	6	TV	12	Winter 2019	Typical harem anime, very stereotypical. Mc is bland, rude, & unlikable. On the plus there enough Red-headed waifus here to last you a lifetime. Probably deserves a 5 or lower, but Miku was such an adorable character I’ll bump it up to a 6.	Tezuka Productions

198	Tong Ling Fei Add - More	6	ONA	16	Fall 2018	Decent art & sound, the story was pretty funny at times, but I cared little for the characters, especially the romantic melodrama towards the end. Still it was entertaining, and that crazy op though is still stuck in my head.	Haoliners Animation League

199	Nezha Zhi Mo Tong Jiang Shi Add - More	6	Movie	1	Summer 2019	Modern take on Chinese classic tale. Animation resembles Pixar, in a good way, colorful art & complex action scenes. Protagonist unlikable though, supporting characters mostly morons. Plot goes awry in second half, still has surprisingly emotional ending	October Media

200	Jujutsu Kaisen Add - More	6	TV	24	Fall 2020	Well-known anime. Awesome fight scenes & animation, but the grotesque violence mixes poorly with the childish humor, plus the overabundance of flashbacks, simplistic take on morality, and cliché story leave this as a rather generic shonen action show.	MAPPA

201	Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 2020	Animation & music were top notch, Tsuneo is a decent character, I really related to his struggles. Josee though was one of the bitchiest unlikable characters ever, nearly ruined the film. It did have a heartfelt message on disability, just wasn’t for me	Bones

202	Kemono Jihen Add - More	6	TV	12	Winter 2021	Stereotypical shounen action, kids w/ superpowers running around solving missions. Pretty standard in most regards but there were enough interesting moments & characters to make it a decent watch. Kabane & Shiki were cool, but Akira was beyond useless.	Ajia-do

203	Burn the Witch Add - More	6	ONA	3	Fall 2020	Alt-history of hunting dragons in London. Witty dialogue and Noel’s deadpan reaction to everything was funny, but most of the characters were just dumb and annoying. Runtime too limited for story to progress in a meaningful way, same universe as Bleach.	Studio Colorido, team Yamahitsuji

204	Yeon-ae Halujeon 2 Add - More	6	ONA	15	Winter 2018	Like the original it’s cute but also has too much melodrama & manufactured conflict. Ha Eun & Yeon Woo’s relationship was wholesome, but Reum and Wook were pretty frustrating together. The twist in episode 14 was dumb. At least the ending was nice.	LICO, Red Dog Culture House

205	Sayonara Watashi no Cramer Movie: First Touch Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2021	Talented girl soccer player struggles to compete physically against boys. Lots of melodrama & cringy moments, Nozomi comes off less as determined and more of a spoiled brat, treats her peers very poorly. Still it had nice moments & a good end message.	LIDENFILMS

206	Horimiya Add - More	6	TV	13	Winter 2021	Really enjoyed the art style & op song, gave me strong "His & Her Circumstances" vibes. Liked the character interactions, but second half was rushed & unfocused, there's a real lack of genuine development in any of the characters or their relationships.	CloverWorks

207	Long Zu Add - More	6	ONA	16	Summer 2022	Dude gets accepted to college for dragon slayers. The animation is nice, op was great, and the comedic scenes were hilarious, however the plot makes little sense, very inconsistent tone, and mishandled the serious moments. Not great but still enjoyable.	GARDEN Culture

208	Chinzei Hachirou Tametomo Add - More	6	ONA	1	Fall 2020	Short music video about the life of a samurai. The art was nice, wasn’t that big fan of the song though. Overall it’s fine, nice watch but nothing noteworthy.	Production I.G

209	Gyokou no Nikuko-chan Add - More	6	Movie	1	Spring 2021	Nice animation & music. Way too much exposition from Kikuko, who at times came off as whinny, titular character Nikuko bit too obnoxious. Some weird character facial expressions too. Still it was a decent film and the ending was good.	Studio 4°C

210	Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 2021	Prequel to the main series, animation & music well done, nice that the side characters got some screen time. Overuse of dialogue & flashbacks though, felt at times like inconsequential filler, at least it had a happy ending.	MAPPA

211	Yoru ni Kakeru Add - More	6	Music	1	Fall 2019	Nice song, wasn't that big a fan of the animation style in the music video. Was catchy & nice but for some reason reminded me of an artsy French cartoon.

212	Kirakira Kirari Add - More	6	ONA	1	Winter 2022	Introverted girl gets imaginary friend who helps her open up. Only 10 minutes but managed to tell a concise story. The music was a bit too cheery for the somewhat somber tone, but for a kids show it was still good.	Lesprit

213	Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen Add - More	6	TV	7	Fall 2021	As w/ the first season the production is excellent, great animation & music. However, the same issues also persists & not enough time to connect to Rengoku. Aside from the first episode everything is covered in the film, so it all feels a bit unnecessary.	ufotable

214	Ghost (Music) Add - More	6	Music	1	Spring 2021	Music video by vtuber Suisei, decent visuals & some nice guitar rifts. Alright song.

215	Ooyukiumi no Kaina Add - More	6	TV	11	Winter 2023	War over water in snow land fantasy. I liked the unique world, although it felt a bit like a ripoff of Nausicaä at times. The CGI animation was a bit janky, story had some plot holes, but overall I enjoyed it.	Polygon Pictures

216	Template Add - More	6	Music	1	Winter 2022	Trippy music video by vtuber Suisei. Kinda intriguing but I wouldn't say it's her best song.	d00r works

217	Alita De Shi Lian Add - More	6	ONA	1	Fall 2016	Nice music and fluid animation. The plot is anyone’s guess, I’ve seen it twice and I still don’t really understand it, something about a dragon, knight & girl. The dialogue was really confusing. Overly artsy but a good short watch overall.	Studio Tumble

218	Alita De Shui Gian Gushi Add - More	6	ONA	1	Summer 2019	Like the original has nice sound & art. Longer runtime, but I still have no idea what the plot is. Is this supposed to be a flashback, dream, alternate reality, nightmare? Who even is the main character? Seems like an experiment in existentialism.	Studio Tumble

219	Long Zu Episode 0 Add - More	6	ONA	1	Summer 2022	Prequel to main series. Basically the same setup as Harry Potter: dude lives w/ mean uncle, aunt, cousin, & gets accepted to his parent’s magic school. Dialogue is stupid but comedy was really funny, Chen Motong was an awesome character.	GARDEN Culture

220	Futari-bun no Shoumei Add - More	6	CM	1	Fall 2022	4 minute short of a boy & girl going through middle, high school, and finally college together and their evolving relationship. A bit of a ripoff of 5 centimeter-per-second, but nice for what it was.	Flat Studio

221	Ooyukiumi no Kaina: Hoshi no Kenja Add - More	6	Movie	1	Fall 2023	Conclusion of the show, the introduction of modern-day technology into what was previously a fantasy setting was pretty stupid, the villain was rather generic & pathetic. Still it had some good moments & nice ending, fitting finale for the series.	Polygon Pictures

222	Xiaoke de Huatu Xie Hua Add - More	6	ONA	12	Fall 2023	I'm usually not a fan of these aimless CGDCT slice-of-life shows, but this one had decent animation & a catchy theme song, at least some semblance of characters & story. Had a good message too.	Gravity Well, Windy Studio

223	Tokyo Friday Night Add - More	6	Music	1	Spring 2024	Decent music video, featuring Kana Hanazawa and Mori Calliope. Kinda standard song, though the rap section was nice. But why is everyone else in Tokyo portrayed as an animal while the two singers are human? lol

224	Naruto Add - More	5	TV	220	Fall 2002	Some good arcs, ideas, & characters, but far too much pointless filler. Kakashi & Rock Lee are good characters but of the trio Naruto is dumb, Sakura is abhorrent, and Sauske is a whinny revenge extremist. Everything Naruto did HxH did better.	Pierrot

225	Xenosaga The Animation Add - More	5	TV	12	Winter 2005	Lot like Evangelion w/ mechas, aliens, & random Judeo-Christian symbolism. The ugly CGI and inconsistent animation (all the characters had supper punchable faces) cheapens it, but it did improve massively as it went, final episode was actually good.	Toei Animation

226	Rekka no Honoo Add - More	5	TV	42	Summer 1997	Near carbon-copy of YuYu Hakusho's characters & long tournament arc. Some funny moments, nicely animated action scenes, but the lame ending, uncomfortable fanservice, instances of poor animation drag it down. Stereotypical & mediocre shonen action show.	Pierrot

227	Midori no Hibi Add - More	5	TV	13	Spring 2004	Delinquent wakes up to realize a girl who has a crush on him has become his right hand. The show had a few funny & wholesome moments, but it was also cringy & stupid at times, I found the characters mostly annoying. Sentimental scenes didn’t really hit.	Pierrot

228	Escaflowne Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 2000	Bizarre animation and hasty pacing. A blend of isekai/fantasy/mech/steampunk genres. The romantic sub-plot between Van & Hitomi is far too rushed, however the music was nice and there were some good thematic ideas.	Bones, Sunrise

229	Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho Add - More	5	Movie	1	Fall 2004	Shinkai’s first film. Confusing alt-history story with alternate dimensions, time skips, war, love triangles & sci-fi elements, which aren’t ever really explored. There were some decent ideas here, I think filmmakers were too overambitious.	CoMix Wave Films

230	Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Add - More	5	TV	27	Spring 1998	Prequel to Duel Monsters, does a good job of setting the tone and feel of the series. Thought it was pretty iconic at the time, although now the animation is looks cheap & horribly inconsistent, some annoying characters especially gramps & Anzu.	Toei Animation

231	Night Walker: Mayonaka no Tantei Add - More	5	TV	12	Summer 1998	Episodic series of vampire detective investigating ppl who are possessed, often w/ tragic stories. Nice op & the stories have some interesting twists, but the abundance of nudity, annoying characters (esp Guni & Riho), & disappointing finale drag it down.	AIC

232	Pale Cocoon Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 2005	Post-apocalyptic future where individuals shift through database for information on the past. It’s rather confusing, nothing is really explained, and has overly eerie & somber tone. Had some cool concepts, but anime is too short & vague to deliver.	Studio Rikka

233	Arion Add - More	5	Movie	1	Winter 1986	An anime take on Greek mythology, the animation & music have aged fantastically well, the story much less so. Plot is extremely haphazard & changes focus every 10 minutes, ending has many deus-ex-machina moments. Seneca was ok but I couldn't stand Arion.	Sunrise

234	Dragon Ball Z Movie 04: Super Saiyajin da Son Gokuu Add - More	5	Movie	1	Winter 1991	I remember watching this when I was a kid, and even then I didn't think it was that good. Probably would give a lower rating if I saw it today but it's getting a 5 for now.	Toei Animation

235	Geneshaft Add - More	5	TV	13	Spring 2001	Story had potential, an interesting mix of genetic-modification, aliens, & existentialism, but tarnished by haphazard story telling & silly characters. For its age mix of 2d & 3d animation well done, someone ordered too much electrical guitar music lol.	Satelight, Studio Gazelle

236	Wizardry Add - More	5	OVA	1	Winter 1991	Based on popular role-play game, pretty typical of the fantasy genre especially the DnD setting. Not much of a story but the production values are pretty good for the 90s.	TMS Entertainment

237	Giniro no Kami no Agito Add - More	5	Movie	1	Winter 2006	Premise was interesting, music & animation was nice, although the 3D models sometimes clashed with the art. Plot was all over the place, one random scene after the other, character interactions bit awkward. Ghibli films did the environmental theme better.	Gonzo

238	Green Legend Ran Add - More	5	OVA	3	Fall 1992	Peculiar OVA, tries to encompass themes of romance, betrayal, environmentalism & religion. Clearly had small budget; cheap animation & limited runtime. That plus the abrupt ending makes it feel disjointed. Still I respect the ambition its creators had.	AIC

239	Night Head Genesis Add - More	5	TV	24	Summer 2006	Two brothers w/ psychic abilities travel around solving crimes & mysteries. Many interesting ideas, just undercut by how overly edgy & esoteric the anime is. Writing rather sub-standard, and the anime makes less & less sense in the latter episodes.	Bee Media

240	Saint Seiya: Jashin Eris Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 1987	Hadn’t watched the main series before seeing this so it was a bit confusing. The art and sound was nice, but the whole thing felt a little rushed, especially the action scenes. Overall okay, nothing too bad or good.	Toei Animation

241	Black Magic M-66 Add - More	5	OVA	1	Spring 1987	Basically if terminator was an anime. The cheap animation and bland characters took away a lot of suspense the OVA was supposed to have. Some nice action scenes though. Alright for what it was, has that cheesy 80s style and flair.	AIC, animate Film

242	Soukihei MD Geist Add - More	5	OVA	1	Spring 1986	Infamously violent OVA of amoral super solider. Some story about armies fighting on another planet but it's all just a set up for the main character to kill ppl. Despite bad frame rate, action scenes were fun, nice mecha designs. Final scene rather dumb.	Zero-G Room, Production Wave

243	Bubblegum Crisis Add - More	5	OVA	8	Winter 1987	4 women live double lives as vigilantes. Quintessentially of the 80s, the cheesy music didn’t mesh well with the tone, plot was fairly nonsensical. It does slightly get better in terms of production & story in later episodes, did have few good moments.	AIC, Artmic

244	Angel Cop Add - More	5	OVA	6	Summer 1989	Over the top 80s flick pitting super cops vs communists vs corrupt government vs dudes w/ super powers. The original dialogue is infamous for being nationalistic & anti-Semitic, the English dub has none of it but is so stupid it’s almost so-bad-its-good	D.A.S.T Corporation

245	Sengoku Kitan Youtouden Movie Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 1989	Alternate history of ninjas battling demons, each other, and Oda Nobunaga for some reason. The fights are okay and the art is decent, but the story is all over the place, and far too much exposition. Plot twist at end was dumb.	J.C.Staff

246	Busou Renkin Add - More	5	TV	26	Fall 2006	A not-so-subtle rip off of FMA, along w/ most of the shonen tropes. Tokiko was okay but most of the other characters were bland. Some heartwarming & funny moments, but overall both the animation & story were rather unremarkable.	Xebec

247	Kaze to Ki no Uta Sanctus: Sei Naru Kana Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 1987	BL drama at historical French prep school. The animation is actually quite nice given its age, but adapting a 17 volume manga was always a tough task, not a fan of all the flashbacks & exposition. Also I couldn't stand characters of Gilbert & Pascal.	Triangle Staff

248	Karakuri no Kimi Add - More	5	OVA	1	Winter 2000	Clueless princess who fights w/ puppets goes after family killer with aid of ninja. Some nice fight scenes but tarnished by stupid (and I mean STUPID!) plot twists & the ugly character designs, forced fanservice. Runtime too short to fully explore story.	TMS Entertainment

249	Kaze no Stigma Add - More	5	TV	24	Spring 2007	Generic shounen action show, generic character designs & pretty lackluster fights. The last arc was actually interesting but aside from that it was average fare. Character dynamic was alright, Ayano was cute but also unbearably annoying at times.	Gonzo

250	Muteki Kanban Musume Add - More	5	TV	12	Summer 2006	Energetic but dimwitted girl works at her mom's ramen shop, interacts w/ the other wacky cast. No real plot, animation was bit substandard, some amusing moments but for the most part I didn't find it that funny.	Telecom Animation Film

251	Ged Senki Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 2006	Goro Miyazaki’s take on Le Guin's novels, technically alright w/ decent animation & music. Fantasy world was intriguing, but there are a few pacing & plot issues, plus some of the protagonists are rather stupidest & dislikable. Overall okay.	Studio Ghibli

252	Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Hikari no Pyramid Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 2004	Saw this when I was a kid, recently re-watched some parts, I remember enjoying the improved animation (especially the cards!) but the story feels a bit like filler, Kaiba and Pegasus were too unlikable to care.	Gallop

253	Onna Senshi Efe & Jira: Gude no Monshou Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 1990	I liked the high fantasy & religious themes, that said the art was sub-standard and the comedy and bloodshed aspects of the film did not go together well. The chemistry of the main duo was good though, wish this was a series instead of a short film.	J.C.Staff

254	Relic Armor Legaciam Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 1987	Art was overall decent but bad in some moments, the voice acting, especially for the kids, was really annoying. There were some good moments though, and the characters and story could have really benefited from a longer runtime.

255	Maison Ikkoku: Bangai-hen - Ikkokujima Nanpa Shimatsuki Add - More	5	OVA	1	Spring 1991	The main characters get shipwrecked on an island, with the annoying tenants up to their usual shenanigans. The OVA was done by a different studio, so the artstyle was noticeably different. Twist ending was dumb, not essential for viewing.	Magic Bus

256	Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 1987	Dude randomly finds lost mech suit and tries to use it to find his girlfriend while the military chases him, hilarity ensues. The plot makes very little sense, but the action scenes were well done as were the mechs designs. Okay for what it was.	AIC, Artmic

257	Kirara Add - More	5	OVA	1	Summer 2000	Girl dies on her wedding day, her ghost goes back in time and messes up relationship w/ boyfriend & past self. Decent premise, but the rushed plot & awkward pacing means the anime doesn’t fully deliver. Art & music done well given when it came out.	Ashi Productions

258	Soukou Kihei Votoms: Red Shoulder Document - Yabou no Roots Add - More	5	OVA	1	Winter 1988	Anime about military looking for the perfect soldier. I know it’s intentional, but the amount of plot armor the mc has was laughably ridiculous. Animation & art was okay for the time, although the mechs all look the same. Prequel to main series.	Sunrise

259	Kite Liberator Add - More	5	OVA	1	Winter 2008	Sequel to Kite in name only, weird sci-fi whose plot goes all over the place. Monaka is nowhere near as iconic as Sawa was, some nice animation & music although the camera was unnecessarily shaky at times. Not necessarily bad, just bland & uninspiring.	Arms

260	The☆Ultraman Add - More	5	TV	50	Spring 1979	Part of the well-known Ultraman franchise, more popular as a Tokusatsu series. Plot follows the monster-of-week formula, animation rather dated & story bit nonsensical. Still there was enough variety in the fights & episodes to keep it interesting.	Sunrise

261	Seijuuki Cyguard Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 1989	In the far distant future of... 2019 (lol) bad guy sabotages experiment, mc gets turned into mech for evil cult, hilarity ensues. Cheesy 80s metal plays the whole time, but despite how cheesy & stupid it is the animation is alright, has happy ending.	AIC

262	Hakujaden Add - More	5	Movie	1	Fall 1958	Historic film based on Chinese folklore, apparently first colored anime feature. Animation has some nice moments, but the overabundance of narration, bland characters, and awkward voice acting weigh it down. Personally found it somewhat boring.	Toei Animation

263	Hakushaku to Yousei Add - More	5	TV	12	Fall 2008	Very shoujo anime of fairy doctor forced to team up w/ pseudo-nobleman. Liked the Victorian setting & art style, was confused by the story though, haphazard plot keeps changing focus, pacing all over the place. Couldn't stand Edgar, manipulative bastard.	Artland

264	Pandora Hearts Add - More	5	TV	25	Spring 2009	Decent premise, in Victorian setting a noble kid gets linked to spirit and the 2 w/ help try to recover her memories. Plot was slow, boy did it drag a lot of the time. Bland characters: Gilbert was okay but I couldn't make myself care about Oz or Alice.	Xebec

265	Utsunomiko: Heaven Chapter Add - More	5	OVA	13	Fall 1990	Story inspired by Japanese mythology & Buddhism, liked the character designs & themes of faith & mortality. Kijimuna was cute but Miko & Kagami were bit dull, plot very haphazard, just moves from one point to next. Art & music decent for its era.	Toei Animation

266	Hayou no Tsurugi: Shikkoku no Mashou Add - More	5	OVA	2	Fall 1992	Typical fantasy tale, women uses magic sword to slay demons. Felt like a setup for a season that never happened, concludes pretty open ended. Not sure where to rate, nothing really bad or good.	Magic Bus

267	Toaru Majutsu no Index-tan Add - More	5	Special	2	Winter 2009	Parody of season 1 with Index now a miniature version of herself. I didn’t find most of it funny, but at least it’s self-aware of how ridiculous both it and the original show are.	J.C.Staff

268	ef: A Tale of Memories. - Prologue Add - More	5	Special	1	Summer 2007	4-minute promo for the series released in advance. Some nice animation but confusingly edited together.	Shaft

269	Denshinbashira Elemi no Koi Add - More	5	Movie	1	Winter 2009	Can't believe I saw a film about a telephone poll falling in love with a utility worker. What's funny is that the film actually takes itself seriously. Personally not a fan of the claymation style, plot was very slow. Some aspects were well done though.	Sovat Theater

270	Arabian Night: Sindbad no Bouken Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 1962	Impressive animation considering how old it is. The English dub is hilariously bad, the dialogue and characters are flat & basic. Some bizarre stuff, I'm pretty sure swordfish don't eat whales & bats don't lay eggs. Still entertaining for what it was	Toei Animation

271	Onigamiden Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 2011	Dude transported back in time to be savior in a historic human-demon war. Fantastic animation, but the writing was bad, felt increasingly like a rip-off of Princess Mononoke, music didn't fit & the protagonist was too wimpy, other characters were bland.	Pierrot

272	Haguregumo Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 1982	Gorgeous animation, nice art & color pallet, the few fight scenes were well done. That said the titular main character is a lazy asshole, constantly cheating on his wife & neglecting his children. Other characters not much better, feel sorry for the wife.	Madhouse, Toei Animation

273	Shinryaku! Ika Musume Add - More	5	TV	12	Fall 2010	Cute & funny inoffensive comedy, although it gets pretty stupid a lot of the time. Op annoyingly catchy. Both the sub and dub are full to the gills with dumb fish & squid puns. Basically if Sponge Bob was an anime.	Diomedéa

274	Nezha Nao Hai Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 1979	Film based off Chinese mythology. Seems as it was originally intended to be a play with all the singing & dancing. Nice animation, although the dragons were a bit expressionless. As a historic film was okay, don't know if I'd recommend.	Shanghai Animation Film Studio

275	Angel Beats! Specials Add - More	5	Special	2	Fall 2010	Two comedic extra episodes of Angel Beats! While it got a little laugh here & there for the most part it was just unneeded filler, and the comedy was my least favorite part of this series to begin with.	P.A. Works

276	Burning Blood Add - More	5	OVA	3	Spring 1990	Talented trumpeter who sees red when enraged ditches music for boxing fight w/ rival. Cheap animation, constant still frames & repeated footage, nice character development but the promised fight doesn't even occur! Directed by Osamu Dezaki, has his style.	Magic Bus

277	High School DxD Add - More	5	TV	12	Winter 2012	Quintessential ecchi anime, made for perverts w/ a pervert as the main character. Unbelievably degenerate but the show’s at least self-aware of how lewd & stupid it is. Hate to admit it, but I somewhat enjoyed the characters & story, raising it to 5.	TNK

278	Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 2012	A bit disappointing. Yes it is a heartwarming tale of a single mother raising her half wolf/human kids, and has some good emotional moments, but with no real conflict or climax the film felt unfocused.	Studio Chizu

279	Tokyo Ravens Add - More	5	TV	24	Fall 2013	Generic LN adaptation of kids in magic school. Animation mostly okay but the ugly cgi really stood out. Plot bit too convoluted even w/ context, first 3 episodes were bad. Still it did improve, last arc was decent, episode 20 was actually great.	8bit

280	Kentauros no Densetsu Add - More	5	OVA	1	Fall 1987	Bikers vie for lady not interested in either of them. Art decent for period, music okay but got annoying after a while. Ken was a incredibly unlikable protagonist, overabundance of fanservice. Still the finale was good, recommend if you like motorcycles.	Wako Productions

281	Kuroi Ame ni Utarete Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 1984	Atomic bomb survivors deal with the aftermath including sickness & discrimination. Deals with important themes, but the characters are fickle & unlikable, and while i can't blame them the anti-American sentiment is so over the top it borders on goofy.	Tsuchida Productions

282	Kimi no Iru Machi OVA Add - More	5	OVA	2	Winter 2014	First episode deals with Akari’s backstory, the second episode w/ Rin. It still has all the stupid romance clichés that plagued the main series, but the characters were somewhat more tolerable & the music was nice. It’s alright, cameo of Fuuka.	Gonzo

283	Yodaka no Hoshi Add - More	5	Movie	1		Kid’s fairy tail based on some Japanese folklore. The animation was unique, watercolor style, don’t know if I like it though. The plot was confusing, not sure what the end message is supposed to be.

284	Eiyuu Banka Koushi-den Add - More	5	TV Special	1	Fall 1995	Biographical film of Confucious by famed director Osamu Dezaki. I liked the attention to historical detail, nice music, but the pacing is too fast for any character moments to stick, too much exposition, dry presentation means some scenes really drag.

285	Harmony Add - More	5	Movie	1	Fall 2015	Feel conflicted, a philosophical outlook on the meaning on freewill & utopia in the context of a female detective investigating mass suicides. Nice themes, but the pacing is super slow & depressing, overuse of CGI, didn't care for characters esp Miach.	Studio 4°C

286	Ulibyeol Ilhowa Eollugso Add - More	5	Movie	1	Winter 2014	Bizarre Korean film about a satellite turning into a girl enamored by musician who became a cow bc he got rejected. Animation meh, few instances of CGI were hideous, story okay but haphazard, romance was nice but bit rushed. Points for creativity I guess.

287	Taifuu no Noruda Add - More	5	Movie	1	Spring 2015	Typhoon strikes during school festival and boy meets supernatural girl. The animation & art were fine, but the character interactions were frustrating and at 26 minutes the plot was seriously rushed. Ending song was nice.	Studio Colorido

288	Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Add - More	5	TV	10	Winter 2016	Isekai parody, dude dies in embarrassing way, goes to fantasy world where it all goes wrong. Many humorous moments, characters unlikable though (esp Acqua), ends up more being a parody of itself. Too much fanservice, do bras not exist in this world?	Studio Deen

289	Onsen Yousei Hakone-chan Add - More	5	TV	13	Fall 2015	Hot Spring spirit appears to teenagers, hilarity ensues. The jokes were mostly hit-or-miss and the characters were very stereotypical, but it did have a few funny & cute moments. An average comedy.	Production Reed, Asahi Production

290	Mob Psycho 100 Add - More	5	TV	12	Summer 2016	Popular anime of overpowered student trying to keep his esper powers hidden. Some moments of good animation & humor, but I found the art style hideous & the characters unlikable. Improves in last 4 episodes, others might like it but definitely not for me.	Bones

291	Nyanko Days Add - More	5	TV	12	Winter 2017	Typical schoolgirl hangs out w/ friend & their chibi anthropomorphic cats. No real story to speak of, only selling point the supposed cuteness of the cats. Overall stupid, but somewhat ironically funny, though the helium-filled voices get annoying quick.	EMT Squared

292	Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine Add - More	5	TV	12	Spring 2017	Mysterious man goes to tutor 4 effeminate princes in Victorian-German fantasy world. Very little plot, while I liked the setting and story I found the characters rather lack luster. Decent anime other might enjoy, I just personally found it bland.	Bridge

293	A.I.C.O. Incarnation Add - More	5	ONA	12	Winter 2018	Girl travels with outlaws in hope of stopping killer mutant. Nice animation & the music really builds up the suspense, yet the characters were mostly bland & the plot had too many dumb twist bordering on fully nonsensical. Ends on a good note though.	Bones

294	Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Memory Snow Add - More	5	Movie	1	Fall 2018	Bit of a filler episode of Emilia & Puck unintentionally creating winter through magic release, and Subaru's wacky ideas. Some funny and cute moments, but it still is overall a inconsequential filler, really drags in some places.	White Fox

295	Darwin's Game Add - More	5	TV	11	Winter 2020	Cliche death game anime. Animation & music were rather mid, lots of leaps of logic & holes in the plot. Characters a mixed bag, lot of stupid decisions but Kashiwagi was cool, Kaname & Shuka were bit lame though, got little better as it progressed.	Nexus

296	Hello World Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 2019	Time-travel romance, music & colorful art was nice, although I wasn’t a fan of the overuse of janky CGI. The 2nd half really lost me, a confusing mush of alternate reality, quantum mechanics, and time travel. It did have good moments, just not my thing.	Graphinica

297	Ni no Kuni Add - More	5	Movie	1	Summer 2019	2 friends travel to another world where doubleganger of the girl they both love is in danger. Great animation & I loved the fantasy world, though the story gets very illogical. Characters act really dumb, especially Haru, one of anime's biggest idiots.	OLM

298	5-toubun no Hanayome ∬ Add - More	5	TV	12	Winter 2021	For supposedly the smartest guy in school, Fuutarou is too dense not to realize that all 5 of the quintuplets have a crush on him. Had some nice moments but too much melodrama. Change in art style didn’t help either. 1st season is better my opinion.	Bibury Animation Studios

299	Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo Add - More	5	ONA	15	Winter 2020	Implausibly overpowered protagonist tries to keep his powers secret. Nice production, Wang Ling & Sun Rong had good chemistry, few hilarious moments, but the repetitive humor got old, plot got predictable before losing all believability in the finale.	Haoliners Animation League

300	Liang Bu Yi Add - More	5	ONA	24	Spring 2021	Emperor & empress accidently swap bodies in ancient China. Character designs were very detailed, but the 3d cgi didn’t blend well w/ the Chibi 2d animation. Most of the characters were unbelievably stupid. Had its wholesome & funny moments, overall okay	Paper Plane Animation Studio
