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: Shoka
Shoka falls somewhere between a seinen reinterpretation of Naruto and a Masaaki Yuasa fever dream. If that makes any sense.
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: 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: Highlander
Comparisons between Highlander and Sword of the Stranger are inevitable, which doesn't bode well for the former.

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: Cipher
Something resembling an OVA
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: 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: 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: 6 Angels
An early pioneer of the ONA format
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: 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: Chibi Devi!
When children really are devils in disguise.
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: Mermaid Forest
Think twice before you dabble in seafood.
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: 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: Growlanser IV
If you're in the mood for a political anime, then Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of Time offers that in a uniquely short format.
Brief Thoughts On: Yutori-chan
The comedy in Yutori-chan mixes familiar office gags with all sorts of jokes about the generational gap between its protagonist.
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: Puppet Princess
Puppet Princess has the gore of a typical grimdark OVA, matched with a more tragic depiction of life in feudal Japan.
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: School Ningyo
That I have to resort to such nitpicking says a lot, I feel. School Ningyo was an amazing manga to read through.
Brief Thoughts On: Cosplay Complex
Spot the references!
Brief Thoughts On: Elf 17
So many of its contemporaries dabbled in gore and sex, so I appreciate that Elf 17 focuses on keeping the action fun.
Brief Thoughts On: A-Channel
A-Channel is just frustratingly serviceable. It's basically a template anime that never dips low and never rises far.
Brief Thoughts On: Crossing Time
The tiniest slices of life
Brief Thoughts On: Armitage III
A kickass cyberpunk anime, Armitage III has a lot going for it in spite of the terrible screenplay by Chiaki J Konaka.
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
