- StarsMarlowe Gardiner-HeslinAlex HoodGage KnoxFour Beybladers and their genius friend travel the world as team 'Bladebreakers' to win a championship, realizing there's much more at stake on the go.Enjoyed beyblading more than the show. I also enjoy AMVs this days...
- StarsSteve BlumMona MarshallTifanie ChristunA group of young teens is unexpectedly sent to the mysterious Digital World and paired up with their own powerful, morphing monster called the Digimon. Together the entire group set out on an adventure to fight evil and save the world.Enjoyed it as a kid. Not good for even teenagers...
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Blown Away! 9/10 - May,2017
- DirectorIsao TakahataStarsTsutomu TatsumiAyano ShiraishiAkemi YamaguchiA young boy and his little sister struggle to survive in Japan during World War II.Impact of war on civilians is depicted at its best. 10/10 - August,2017
- DirectorMakoto ShinkaiStarsHisako KanemotoMiyu IrinoKazuhiko InoueA coming of age story involving young love and a mysterious music, coming from a crystal radio left as a memento by an absent father, that leads a young heroine deep into a hidden world.Started out good. Kept the good phase to the end with a bad ending.
- StarsShinnosuke MitsushimaTao TsuchiyaMinami Takayama29-year-old Satoru Fujinuma is sent back in time 18 years to prevent the events leading to his mother's death, which began with a series of kidnappings while he was in 5th grade.Although I don't like the idea of someone having some kind of a psychic power that allows him to go back in time(It's totally unrealistic, isn't it?), I liked the thrilling story. The hair-raising suspense this one provided is just Wow! - December,2017
[Note: This show dragged me into anime series. When I watched Pokemon and other animes back in my childhood, I didn't know they were actually 'Anime'] - DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsKirsten DunstMinami TakayamaRei SakumaAlong with her black cat Jiji, Kiki settles in a seaside town and starts a high-flying delivery service. Here begins her magical encounter with independence and responsibility, making lifelong friends and finding her place in the world.Average family entertainment. Catchy songs! - January,2018
- DirectorMakoto ShinkaiStarsRyûnosuke KamikiMone KamishiraishiRyo NaritaTwo teenagers share a profound, magical connection upon discovering they are swapping bodies. Things manage to become even more complicated when the boy and girl decide to meet in person.Over-rated... Music was good.
- CreatorKentaro MiuraStarsMarc DiraisonNobutoshi CannaCarrie KeranenGuts, a wandering mercenary, joins the Band of the Hawk after being defeated in a duel by Griffith, the group's leader and founder. Together, they dominate every battle, but something menacing lurks in the shadows.Watched only first two episodes... Didn't find it that much interesting...
- DirectorMamoru HosodaStarsAoi MiyazakiTakao OsawaHaru KurokiAfter her werewolf lover unexpectedly dies in an accident, a young woman must find ways to raise their werewolf son and daughter while keeping their trait hidden from society.Not that remarkable...
- CreatorDaisuke SatôStarsJun'ichi SuwabeEri KitamuraNobuyuki HiyamaHigh school students are overwhelmed with the start of the zombie apocalypse.A little ecchi fun with fan-service type action and anime zombies!
- DirectorMamoru OshiiStarsAtsuko TanakaIemasa KayumiAkio ÔtsukaA cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master.2017 live-action Ghost in the Shell (2017) is better.
- StarsYûichi NakamuraDavid MatrangaLuci ChristianA high school student who cares little about school or his future decides to help a lonely girl repeating her final year in re-establishing the school's drama club.Watched the first episode only. It's good I guess but characters have totally unreal big eyes with big irises within more than half of their faces and that's something that highly bothered me!
- StarsAya HiranoNobunaga ShimazakiRinka H.B.B.17-year-old Shinichi Izumi is partially infected by a Parasyte, monsters that butcher and consume humans. He must learn to co-exist with the creature if he is to survive both the life of a Parasyte and a human as part monster, part person.To date, this is the best anime series I've viewed. Not 100% perfect but better than the others. Songs and background music are the best I've heard. I had several goose bumps while going through this series. Awesomeness at its best. - February,2018
- StarsNatsuki HanaeAustin TindleBrina PalenciaA Tokyo college student is attacked by a ghoul, a superpowered human who feeds on human flesh. He survives, but has become part ghoul and becomes a fugitive on the run.Hooked by the starting... later on was okay but there is a lot of things I didn't like.
- StarsMayo SuzukazeDorothy Elias-FahnRichard CansinoThe adventures of a young wandering swordsman who stumbles upon a struggling martial arts school in Meiji era Japan.Watched only first 4 episodes... good I guess...
- StarsBrina PalenciaAustin TindleMichelle RojasAfter being tortured and transformed, Kaneki leaves Anteku and joins Aogiri tree in order to protect his friends. While he tries to get stronger, Touka decides to enroll in college while they all try to recover from Kaneki leaving.Watched the first episode only. Will continue later... perhaps...
- CreatorTakahiroStarsSôma SaitôCorey HartzogSora AmamiyaA countryside boy named Tatsumi sets out on a journey to The Capital to make a name for himself and met a seemingly dangerous group of Assassins known as Night Raid. Their journey begins.Liked the good animation style and ending song. That's all! Bad series, bad plot.
- CreatorReki KawaharaStarsYoshitsugu MatsuokaHaruka TomatsuBryce PapenbrookIn the year 2022, thousands of people get trapped in a new virtual MMORPG and the lone wolf player, Kirito, works to escape.Season 1 completed. Very good concept but rushed at first and ended with some loopholes. First season rocks from episode 6 to 18. Enjoyed this season. 8/10 - March,2018
Okay, here's the update for season 2. It's about a game that is Gun Gale online and we see the characters in the Alfheim online once again at the later part. The series started off interestingly and turned out to be very thrilling. It had a lot of hearts even though there were fan-services and a lot of other silly stuffs. There's a cute little cutiepie named Sinnon(real one, not game avatar). She's lovely! <3 <3 - December,2018 - CreatorToshizô NemotoStarsJad SaxtonMike YagerJôji Nakata30,000 Japanese players trapped in MMORPG, unable to log out. Veteran gamer Shiroe leads exploration of this new reality, negotiating with NPCs to bring order to the virtual city of Akihabara.Very interesting from the beginning and enjoyable too. Already finished 12 episodes... But then I asked myself, where is this going? So I did some study on this anime... It seems like that there is still no explanation about how elder tale and real world is connected! even after season 2!! No explanation on how real world and game world switched places... Is it magic or what?!? Sorry, I'm okay with SAO and nerve-gear. - March,2018
- DirectorOsamu DezakiStarsKenji NojimaMai NakaharaRyôtarô OkiayuOkazaki Tomoya is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything. Along with his friend Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away.Was funny and enjoyable at some points... in the end, a bad anime...
- StarsMamoru MiyanoAsami ImaiKana HanazawaAfter discovering time travel, a university student and his colleagues must use their knowledge of it to stop an evil organization and their diabolical plans.Learnt a lot of new things watching this one. I also studied some topics like time-paradox, time-relativity, John Titor 'The Time-Traveler' and so on later on. This anime connected all facts that are out there related with time-traveling and headed it toward a fiction. Mad scientist Rintaro Okabe is an amazing character. In the end, However, it felt like the execution of the concepts in the later part of the series could have been better. Then again, this is one of the best execution of 'Time-Travel' in fiction. 7/10 - April,2018
- StarsYûto NakanoTravis WillinghamKôjun ItôMushi Master Ginko travels from place to place investigating occurrences that could be tied to supernatural creatures called Mushi.Watched the first episode. I guess it's not my thing... I mean the concept...
- CreatorKugane MaruyamaStarsSatoshi HinoChris GuerreroElizabeth MaxwellWhen a popular MMORPG is scheduled to be shut down permanently, veteran player Momonga refuses to log out. As NPCs begin to develop personalities and minds of their own he decides to put his skills to use as the game's new overlord.Another series related to DMMORPG. watched 5 episodes and continuing... Characters are lovely.
Update: Not continuing anymore! Looks like our main guy is stuck in the game forever and he will continue to live in that mystery driven world! (2022)
Another Update: Picked it up again and done with season 1. For me the peak was until episode 9. After that, our MC's plan on spreading his name in this new world through helping others for a chance on contacting any other 'Real Player' who might have also got trapped like him in the last day, took a huge hit. And as it appears, he dropped his morality a lil bit for the sake of "survival" as he is going to start overlooking various atrocities committed by some of his NPC guardians. (March, 2024)
