I'll certainly be rewatching Cat Shit One again sometime and am interested enough to look into the manga as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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: 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: 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: Dragon Pink
I can totally recommend skipping around Dragon Pink to appreciate some quality fantasy hentai, but its probably best to skip the story.

Brief Thoughts On: High Score
High Score is short enough that, if anything about it seems even mildly interesting to you, then you may as well just give it a watch.

Brief Thoughts On: Gall Force
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: Fire Tripper
Releasing in 1985 and based on a manga by Rumiko Takahashi, Fire Tripper often goes forgotten these days. I'd like to see that changed.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 Kare Kano
They still snuck in some explosions.

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: 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: 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.
