All anime series I've seen

Apparently I highly recommend a lot of stuff. Mostly (hopefully) this is because I stop watching things that don't interest me.

• OVAs/Movies [tag]


• Bleach [tag] - fled
  Your standard shounen anime adaptation. The voicework is fun, but I prefer the manga.


• Cowboy Bebop - finished
  Highly recommended. Gorgeous animation, bebop music, bounty hunters, and the Western-in-space conceit years before Firefly aired.


• Fruits Basket - finished
  Recommended, though the manga is even better. Somewhat too candy-colored at first, but gradually deepens.


• Fullmetal Alchemist [tag] - finished
  Highly recommended. Plot like whoa, great emotional arcs, excellent characters.


• Gundam Wing [tag] - finished
  My first anime! Giant robots and complex politics, with pretty boys to boot. Recommended only if you're a fan of mecha, or unless you are a giant fan of insane, suicidal bishounen pilots! I just rewatched this with rachelmanija, and boy was it fun.


• Gunslinger Girl [tag] - finished
  Pretty good. More one-offs about little girl assassins than plotty.


• Haibane Renmei [tag] - finished
  I really liked this small, quiet series about living and forgiving and moving on.


• Honey and Clover [tag] - finished
  Possibly my favorite anime ever. Aka, cannot rec this highly enough. Five art students and their lives through several years.


• Last Exile [tag] - finished
  Steampunk with fighter pilots. Starts good, but sort of falls apart.


• Mushishi [tag] - currently watching
  Highly recommended so far. Dreamy and atmospheric and wonderfully strange.


• Neon Genesis Evangelion - finished
  Apocalyptic anime with insane religious symbolism and interesting takes on mecha tropes. I love this; most people understandably don't because the ending wanders off into OMGWTFBBQ-land.


• Ouran High School Host Club [tag] - finished
  Shoujo meta. Hilarious and highly recommended.


• Princess Tutu [tag] - finished
  Metanarrative about a duck-turned-girl-turned-magical-ballerina who saves the world through ballet. Highly recommended.


• Revolutionary Girl Utena - finished
  Highly recommended. Fairy-tale meta, genderbending, cross dressing, symbolism, and complete insanity, plus one of my favorite fictional lesbian couples.


• Romeo x Juliet [tag] - fled
  Romeo and Juliet with a flying city and cross-dressing Juliet. Despite the coolness of flying cities and cross-dressing, I got bored.


• Rose of Versailles [tag] - currently watching
  Anime based Ikeda Riyoko's classic Rose of Versailles. Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution, complete with genderbending and cross dressing. Still withholding judgment.


• Saiunkoku Monogatari [tag] - fled
  Not bad, but currently not too exciting. Young woman tries to be a bureaucrat in Tang-Dynasty-China analogue. Lots of bishounen.


• Samurai Champloo [tag] - finished
  Hip-hop and Meiji Japan, I kid you not. Recommended.


• Vision of Escaflowne - finished
  Fantasy with mecha and an Absolute Fate Engine or something. Not bad, but not great either.


• X [tag] - finished
  Gothic shoujo as only CLAMP can do. Pretty good, if you like Gothic shoujo.


• Yami no Matsuei [tag] - finished
  Recommended for the True Love of Hisoka and Tsuzuki, completely not recommended for everything else.

Other series that I've seen snippets up and never finished: Gasaraki, Kare Kano, Trigun
