Let me preface these rating with a note. Most of them are rather high, but the reason for that is because I don't have tons of time to watch anime, so I pick and choose very carefully. I've picked well (for my tastes, that is
), so most are 8-9, with a few tens.
Barefoot Gen 8.5/10 -- A great WWII movie, nearly as amazing as GotF.
Castle in the Sky 9/10 -- Miyazaki, so it's obviously excellent.
Death Note 8/10 -- Quite enjoyable, although the second half starts to falter.
Ergo Proxy 9.5/10 -- Amazing series, one of my favorites
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 9/10 --Obviously, it's still airing, but it's quite good, and definitely easier to sit down and watch, due to the way it mixes seriousness with humor.
Ghost In The Shell (Movie) 9.5/10 -- Very awesome, cyberpunk-ness.
Grave of the Fireflies 11/10 -- Probably the best film I've ever seen, one of the few movies that makes me cry.
Gunslinger Girl 10/10 -- The first season is definitely a masterpiece, IMHO. The 2nd season, however, I pretend ever happened. I've gotten halfway through, and it's deviated far too much from the way of the original, now it's too much about action and plot.
Howl's Moving Castle 9/10 -- Miyazaki again, and also one of my favorites from him.
Kikis Delivery Service 8/10 -- Enjoyable, but not as good as the rest.
Le Chevalier D'Eon 9.5/10 -- Awesome show, I love the way actual history is tied in.
Millennium Actress 9/10 -- Amazing movie, I definitely need to add this to my collection.
Memories 8/10 -- A great three movie pack, Magnetic Rose being my favorite of the three.
Metropolis 8.5/10 -- Although the art style isn't my favorite, awesome steampunk film.
My Neighbor Totoro 9/10 -- Another awesome Miyazaki movie, my little sisters loved it.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind 10/10 -- One of Miyazaki's masterpieces, although the manga is even more incredible.
Noir 10/10 -- What can I say, my first anime series, and I'll love it forever.
Princess Mononoke 10/10 Another masterpiece.
Scrapped Princess 7/10 About 2/3, but it's good. Not my favorite, but good.
Serial Experiments Lain 10/10 Amazing show, very trippy.
Spirited Away 9.5/10 Near masterpiece level, and very gorgeous.
Voices of a Distant Star 8/10 A good film from a great director, although the art style isn't my favorite.
Witch Hunter Robin 10/10 In a three way tie for my favorite series, and also the first series I purchased.
