Brief Thoughts On: SOS TV Walpurgis Night Fever
It is, however, unclear which parts of SOS TV Walpurgis Night Fever are bad on purpose and which parts are just regular bad.

Brief Thoughts On: Ontama!
At five episodes of ten to fifteen minutes a piece, Ontama is an anime that I can strongly recommended to most viewers.

Brief Thoughts On: FAKE
FAKE mainly exists for the benefit of its existing fans, though it was certainly not unenjoyable for a newcomer.

Brief Thoughts On: Shoka
Shoka falls somewhere between a seinen reinterpretation of Naruto and a Masaaki Yuasa fever dream. If that makes any sense.

Brief Thoughts On: Kaichuu!
I was in a sports mood and stumbled upon this anime by accident, but maybe Kaichuu! wasn't the best pick for pride month.

Brief Thoughts On: Wizardry
It's a fascinating origin story for an anime adaptation. Fortunately, Wizardry is more than just a piece of history.

Brief Thoughts On: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.

Brief Thoughts On: Canary
Canary is a short and inoffensive OVA, with a curious history attached to it. Not good, but certainly not bad either.

Brief Thoughts On: Megumi
An animated version of the story behind Megumi Yokota and her abduction by North Korean spies. Not recommended if you need a happy ending.

Brief Thoughts On: Highlander
Comparisons between Highlander and Sword of the Stranger are inevitable, which doesn't bode well for the former.

Brief Thoughts On: Metamorphosis
Saki's tale is certainly a tragic, but the way it's told makes it evident that Metamorphosis is still beholden to limitations of the medium.

Brief Thoughts On: Munto
Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.

Brief Thoughts On: Qualia the Purple
In many ways, Qualia the Purple feels comparable to the likes of Steins;Gate or In Search of the Lost Future.

Brief Thoughts On: Pompo The Cinéphile
Pompo The Cinéphile has been one of the best, new movies I have seen in a long time. A shame that so many people have passed up on…

Brief Thoughts On: The Dark Myth
"Show, Don't Tell" is a concept utterly foreign to The Dark Myth. A shame, because its animation is quite alright.

Brief Thoughts On: Puppet Princess
Puppet Princess has the gore of a typical grimdark OVA, matched with a more tragic depiction of life in feudal Japan.

If you can stomach the story's shifting tone and obnoxious characters, then Gall Force is a pretty cool sci-fi series to check out.

Brief Thoughts On: Magical Kanan
Magical Kanan creates an upsetting contrast by taking staples of the genre and filtering them through its flavor of rape-tastic dark fantasy.
