| Azumanga Daioh | Series | Complete | 26/26 | Sc | [info] [notes] |
| Personal favorite. I think there might be something wrong with your brain if you don't like Azumanga Daioh. This was therapy anime during exam times at my university. |

| Watching this made it feel like my eyes were orgasming. Gets a high grade for visuals alone. Also, the Count is one of the most bad-ass characters ever. He rides a limo...drawn by a team of cyborg horses, and everyone in the show is totally gar for him. |

| Haibane Renmei | Series | Complete | 13/13 | S | [info] [notes] |
| Haibane Renmei is beautiful, and a good example of how to do surrealism in a way that is interesting instead of just confusing. |
| Honey and Clover | Series | Complete | 26/26 | 9 | [info] [notes] |
| This includes Chapter L and Chapter F. Hachikuro went downhill IMO in the second half, but Chapter L was incredibly awesome. |

| Bad point: Not quite as provocative as Perfect Blue.
Good point: Not quite as provocative as Perfect Blue. |

| One of the few "healing" anime I was able to enjoy. Occasionally thought provoking. Excellent art. |

| Now and Then, Here and There | Series | Complete | 13/13 | 8 | [info] [notes] |
| Funny story. At my local anime society, people vote on what to watch each semester based on screening first episodes. After the first episode of this, they are like "Oh it is fantasy adventure." Then one episode later it's like a solarized panel in a gaijin-4koma all across the room. |

| Perfect Blue | Movie | Complete | 1/1 | S+ | [info] [notes] |
| Satoshi Kon is a genius. IMO, he is easily the best director in all of anime, easily outstripping Miyazaki. Perfect Blue might be his best work. It is an excellent example of how to bring out the unique aspects of a medium (animation) and make them work for you. |

| A lot less anti-industrialism focused than Miyazaki's other movies. More about childhood. Very poignant. |

| Vision of Escaflowne | Series | Complete | 26/26 | S | [info] [notes] |
| Steam dragon mecha ftw. Good fantasy romance. Also check out the english parody dub "Nescaflowne," which is surprisingly hilarious (most parody dubs are reetarded). |
