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

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

The greatest hero of all time it also the greatest lecher known to man. When Rance comes to save the day, be sure to hide your daughters.
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.

Grandeek is based on a Kohime Oose manga series, of which 1 installment went on indefinite hiatus and another was cancelled after 1 chapter.
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: 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: 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: 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: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.
Brief Thoughts On: Cipher
Something resembling an OVA
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: Munto
Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.

Brief Thoughts On: Kennel Tokorozawa
Kennel Tokorozawa is very weird. In ways that go beyond the typical eccentricities we are familiar with in anime.
Brief Thoughts On: Chibi Devi!
When children really are devils in disguise.
Brief Thoughts On: Harem Camp!
Ultimately though, its the goofy story that makes Harem Camp come together. Give it a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised.
Brief Thoughts On: Strait Jacket
I watched Strait Jacket with the same level of investment you'd afford to a random, cheesy action movie that nobody has ever heard about.
Brief Thoughts On: Mankitsu Happening
Too uninteresting to watch in full, but I guarantee that some scenes from Mankitsu Happening are going to stick with you.
Brief Thoughts On: Hyper Doll
Honestly, Hyper Doll is probably one of the easiest OVA releases of ye olden days to pick up today. Even for those spoiled by modern anime.
Brief Thoughts On: Hanappe Bazooka
A lesser-known Nagai story
Brief Thoughts On: Bio Hunter
If you have an interest in the golden age of anime OVAs, then Bio Hunter certainly comes highly recommended.
Brief Thoughts On: Galactic Pirates
Comparing Galactic Pirates to Dirty is unavoidable, I feel, but such comparisons are utterly one-sided in favor of the latter
Brief Thoughts On: Candy Boy
A peculiar title for a series that features 0 male characters aside, Candy Boy manages to be a short but pleasant yuri anime.
Brief Thoughts On: Honobono Log
It's short length and sweet stories make a Honobono Log a romance anime you shouldn't skip out on. An espresso shot of love.
Brief Thoughts On: Shadows House
Shadows House certainly has the look & feel that I also loved in Kuro, so it's a shame that everything else failed to impress.
Brief Thoughts On: Ningyo (1964)
Serving as one of Osamu Tezuka's very first films, Ningyo is an interesting part of anime history to look back on.
Brief Thoughts On: Star Children
Written by the mangaka behind Flying Witch, Star Children is a work that spoke to me the moment I first saw it.
Brief Thoughts On: Sayonara Football
I am not sure how Sayonara Football would hold up to actual fans of sports manga, but I can confidently recommend it to my fellow laymen.
Brief Thoughts On: Dead Heat
If you just want to relax and watch some phenomenal animated racing though, then Dead Heat has you covered.
Brief Thoughts On: 6 Angels
An early pioneer of the ONA format
Brief Thoughts On: Dragon’s Heaven
While the introduction to it is rough, Dragon's Heaven does have a very interesting setting and lore to it.
Brief Thoughts On: Happy World
Happy World is a magical girlfriend story with a focus on character development mixed with some lewd asides.
