Anime >> Watchlist

Ah yes, I also like lists, so here is a list of anime I've watched in my lifetime. Each title (will eventually) link to its respective entry on the Anime News Network's encyclopedia section, where you'll find a lot more info. Some tv series I've watched in their entirety, others I gave up on due to their mediocrity, loss of interest and/or lack of time.

For each anime listed I've also assigned a subjective rating that comprises elements such as story strength, production values, music, voice acting, and general entertainment value. There's no clear-cut application of a rating; it's just a useful estimate of my feelings about the film or show.

Rating Scale:

4 = Excellent - A a truly compelling effort with few, if any, flaws.
3.5 = Standout - Great; a small step below "excellent."
3 = Recommended - Good, but not necessarily great.
2.5 = Average - Just okay. Could have been better...or worse.
2 = Mediocre - Fair to pretty bad. Flaws overshadow the effort, but still barely watchable.
1.5 = Poor - Unenjoyable; boring; just plain bad.
1 = Awful - No redeeming value. Nigh unwatchable.

Other notes:

Bold titles and ratings indicate my personal favorites.
Italic titles in light gray indicate series that are currently airing (in Japan).
Greyed out titles indicate series I have dropped.

Table abbreviations:

Fmt = Format
OVA = Original Video Animation
ONA = Original Net Animation
Eps = Episode Count, if applicable.
Rtg = Rating
